  Rob S from Kingsland, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Tita's Sandcastle LC17 is the house if you want to stay "on the beach" in Port Aransas. I'm not aware of any home that is closer to the beach. We joked that we didn't need chairs on the beach because sitting on the deck was about as close as having a chair on the beach. In addition, the outside deck is well equipped with furniture to enjoy the view. And if you want to put your toes in the sand, the boardwalk to the beach is extremely close.
  
  While the location is incredible, the house is a little "tired." As with any house exposed to the salt air, the house has some expected wear and tear. For example, one of the main sliding doors to the deck doesn't open, and most of the windows are missing screens (making it hard to open and enjoy the sounds and breeze.) I could list several other minor issues, but nothing major prevented us from enjoying the house.
  
  The kitchen is well-appointed with everything you need to prepare meals. The only glaring exception is that the ice maker doesn't work. Therefore, plan on getting a bag of ice.
  
  Overall, the Lost Colony community has become a rental community. It was jam-packed with lots of families with kids and dogs. Lots of dogs! We had one neighbor that played really loud music on the beach at 3:40 am. Very disrespectful, but those things happen at the beach. Overall, we didn't have any issues with the community.
  
  I would recommend the house if you wanted a fantastic location on the beach. Please don't set your expectations that it will be the nicest house you've ever stayed in (unlike those in Palmilla, Sunflower, Cinnamon Shores, etc), but it's okay. The location makes up for any deficiencies in the house.
  
  A shoutout to the property management firm Port A Escapes: We left a device at the house, and they found it, packed it up, and shipped it back to us. They just charged us for shipping. They were highly responsive and helpful, going above and beyond to assist us.

  Jaimie W from Aquilla, TX recommends this vacation rental

  This was a great place to stay! It's pet friendly and the kitchen is well equipped. The views and access to the beach are unlike any place that we have ever experienced! It could use a bit of updating and minor repairs. The pocket door to the bathroom on the downstairs main bedroom did not work and should be fixed for bathroom privacy. We had to lock the bedroom door for bathroom privacy. The down stairs bedroom door had a hole on the inside that needs to be repaired. There were grass burs in the lawn, but we worked around them. I wish that there was beach access for golf carts. We reserved a golf cart only to find out that there was not golf cart accessible roads to the beach. Luckily Island Outfitters returned our money. Overall, this is a great house, and we will be booking it again.

  I put “mosquitoes” in the title so future guests wouldn’t forget to bring mosquito spray. The pet friendly beach house was really nice for our family. It was clean and Port A Escapes staff were very friendly. Kitchen was nicely stocked but future guests might want to throw in their own 7” non stick frying pan if they intend on frying eggs. We did see the usual beach roaches in the house, but we could tell the house was sprayed on a regular basis. The laundry room was not in the living area of the house (located downstairs near the garage) but that was not a game changer. Plenty of seating in the kitchen and on the deck. The best house in Lost Colony for beach location.

  Got this house for a intimate ceremony. Needless to say, we were astonished! Balcony and window views are amazing! Chairs outside did not get hot even with sunbathing all day.
  Extremely small mishaps, like the cable on TV not working, but we were at the beach on vacation, so was our least concern to report to get fixed. For anyone concerned about little critters, like bugs, I only seen one but was dying due to the property being maintained/exterminated well.
  Ideal location- to not only the beach but to Port Aransas and Padre.
  Any time that I had questions or concerns before arrival, I would call and speak with someone immediately and they were also so helpful and nice to us.
  Wonderful and beautiful house that I would love to return back to. Would definitely recommend the stay!

  a guest from Georgetown, Tx recommends this vacation rental

  Awesome location and we had a great time. Check in/check out was simple, but a bit confusing at first. I received a communication to go to the office to pick up the key, but then received a text message with door code. This is my second time staying here and we had to pick up a key the last time, but we got checked in ok. The house itself is ok and could use some updating although I did notice the master shower was redone. Pretty much everything else was the same as the last time I stayed here with some of the furniture a bit more worn. A little high price point wise for the condition, but it's the location that I came back for. We did have a minor problem with roaches and ants and the management team was fairly responsive and said they would take care of it. The maintenance guy did not show up until the next day - a heads up would have been nice. Overall, this is a great place to stay and enjoy the ocean and I do recommend it.

  Overall. Good, the location and view were the best. House could be cleaner, could use paint on kitchen and bathroom cabinets. I wish they had an elevator and wish the washer and dryer were in the house not in the garage. Had dry clothes out of the dryer but they got wet from the rain trying to get back in the house. They need a broom closet, the maid left the broom/ mop in the corner by the sliding glass door by the kitchen table.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and loved being so close to the ocean waves. The house was a great home base as we are two families traveling together. We enjoyed playing games at the kitchen table with the ocean in view. There were plenty of places to sleep comfortably. The downstairs bedroom was a nice escape where the kids felt like they had their own little apartment. The house had everything we needed. There were a few maintenance items such as broken wheel on outdoor chaise lounge, sliding door was a bit wobbly, can opener was subpar, and the heat did not seem to work. We were here for NYE and had some chilly nights. But all in all we were happy with our stay here.

Reported upon departure. Item 3 - issue with ants. Sprayed and kept food up. I would highly recommend this property.

  Well equipped home with plenty of space. Everything functioned properly except the ice maker was frozen. We emptied and reset - within 12 hours we had ice. This was a wonderful home for families and had more than enough space for everyone. Right on the beach! Boardwalk over the dunes just steps away. Awning wasn’t functioning only downfall. Home is a bit dated and needs some repair. Windows were dirty and a bit disappointing.

  This was our 4th stay in this home as it is the perfect location overlooking the beach. It is an older home and starting to show some wear and tear but still in pretty good shape. They made some recent upgrades such as a new refrigerator, dishwasher and coffee maker. This is the first time we had an ant problem in the kitchen but management was told and said they would spray. Overall we love the place but they should do some upgrades throughout the house.

  There are not a lot of places in Port A where you can be steps from the beach and this house is ONE of the few. We love Lost Colony and have stayed in other homes. This was the best so far. Great panoramic views. Clean home. Great Housekeeping. You do need to bring your own, chairs, canopy, toys, beach towels, if you want those items. The staff at Port A Escapes is so kind and friendly and informative. Easy check in/out. We are already looking to come back this year...!

  The rental was overall clean. The only issue was the separate room downstairs was not cleaned upon arrival. It was not a problem because we did not need it,so we didn't inform management. The view was spectacular! We didn't want to leave! The only suggestion I have is if you are feeding a crowd bring a large fry pan or a flat griddle as it only has a 9" fry pan.

  The house was great and the overall experience was exactly what we expected. I would certainly rent this house again. The only negative was we needed cleaning supplies in the kitchen besides dish washing soap. We ran out of the 2 kitchen hand towels very quickly and had to use bathroom hand towels. We needed spray or Clorox wipes for the counters to be able to keep everything clean during our stay. I will add that to my packing list going forward. Other than that we had a great time and house was in a superior location.

I would suggest you have it treated regularly due do its exposure. I will stay here again.

  This house has a great location. It is literally right on the beach. Not separated by dunes, etc. It's a bit older and although it was very clean, the house is showing a bit of wear and tear. Especially the small downstairs bedroom that is separate from the rest of the house. And if you don't like stairs this is not for you. Very steep stairs up to master and stairs down into the sunken living area as well. But we enjoyed our stay, mostly due to the directly on the beach location.

  It was the ultimate family vacation spot. We could not have enjoyed the beach more; the weather was perfect the whole time (maybe little windy a couple of days) but, overall was just great. Grandsons, ages 6 & 10, could not have enjoyed the sand/waves/gulls/sand crabs/etc more. Even though it was an expensive vacation for us, the house was comfortable for all and the views fantastic all the time. Plenty of hot water and the AC worked great. We feel blessed to have had this, probably once in a lifetime, wonderful family adventure. We will relive the memories many times from our photos. Thanks. enjoy the journey, the alleys
