Port Aransas Escapes-Vacation Rentals

Will never use them ever!! so I was gonna rent a house. made down payment of 1866.36 final payment of over four grand. I go to make final payment and it says something was changed on my reservation so I message to ask what changed. At this time I was informed that the house was pulled from rentals that I needed to find a new house to check my email bluh bluh bluh. So I cannot find nothing close to what I was looking at with what they wanted to offer instead of the ten bedroom house I had booked. So I ask for refund... only they shorted my refund by 500 dollars and why since it was there fault and

Rented Lucky Enough in the Village Walk area for our family vacation. House was perfect size for all of us, great location, and beautiful views of the gulf from the roof top BUT..........
We were greeted with a dead roach on the 2nd level stairs even though I thought they clean the property before we got there. Another roach was in the bunk bed! Then another one the next day on the 2nd level powder room. The pool was dirty!
I called Port A Escaped maintenance on Friday and was told the pool people would be out that day to clean and they would call the exterminator. 4pm Friday, pool people had not

We stayed at A Shore Thing for the week of 27 June to 3 July 2021. Our stay was everything we expected and more! The house was clean and very comfortable. We had 9 adults and 5 children, and there was plenty of room to spread out and have private space. We had zero problems while there. We were very close to the beach, but not so close that huge amounts of sand were tracked in. There was plenty of hot water for showers, and the two air conditioning units kept the house nice and cool. Full disclosure: the TV/Sound system in the main living room was very hard to figure out, even with 8 tech savvy

We stayed at Port Escapes “License to Chill” Beach house last weekend .... sooo beautiful , well stocked with everything you will need ... wonderful experience to say the least .... will definitely go back

Doing business with these clowns is a joke. They will not hesitate to take your money but the customer service is HORRID!!! we showed up to find no sheets on our master bed and no towels in our 2 bedroom condo. So we had to wait till the next day because supposedly no one could bring up any the night we checked in. Next day after calling again for towels and sheets we get a black trash bag of sheets and towels delivered. They ask to see the bed in question like we are lying... and then leave. Look that person may not have been a housekeeper but neither is anyone in my family!! And if I'm

We are OWNERS who trusted them as a vacation rental! For some reason they have the impression they own our property and we are at their mercy. Google them. There are 10 vacation rental companies with much higher ratings than them. Do your search and walk away...

Beware, port a escapes is booking accommodations not available. They notified (confirmed and paid for reservation) not available on arrival. Had not been available since Hurricane Harvey. Yet they still have listed with pictures prior to hurricane and are taking reservations for property. What would you do if you had 4pm check-in canceled on arrival?

We've rented through PAE three times this year. I was surprised to see all the negative reviews. We did have an issue with the floors not being mopped in the first place we stayed, but everything else was great with that place, and everything has been great on the other two rentals. Nice new linens, and hotel style toiletries. Places have been well stocked. We will use them again.

We stayed in Port Aransas this summer for a COVID get away and after much debate, chose Port A Escapes. We were treated with the kindness by front desk clerk, Devin, and felt very safe with their safety protocol. The beaches were closed to driving while we were there, but we were smart enough to recognize this was no fault of the rental company. The accommodations were spotless and well kept. Everything was comfortable and made for a great trip. I’d definitely rent from them again. Highly recommend!!!

We had a disappointing experience with our Airbnb rented through Port A Escapes in Port Aransas. There was a leak in the wall that flooded the master bedroom. When the repair man came to check he commented that this house should not have been rented this has happened several times. The fix..... wet towels left overnight. No compensation or even an apology.

Wow. What a hot mess this place is. They do not know the first thing about customer service. The owner, Tracey, is there only maybe once a week and does not care about you or your vacation or your experience. They market a bunch of properties on Airbnb under her personally but they're managed by Port A Escapes. Their cleaning people are awful.
What they charge for a stay at some places is just obscene.
It's so easy to find an individual to stay with on Airbnb or vrbo to get an actual human touch and not just be a number.
Stead clear.

Worst experience EVER. Having lived in PA for over a decade my family frequents the island 5+ times throughout the year. We always try different places simply depending on what kind of trip we're taking, family, fishing, just me and hubby etc. We booked our multi family vacation in FEB for end of July! 2 weeks prior I received an email, not a phone call, letting me know the unit would not be available. After making several "contact" calls we found out the owners had not even started on post hurricane repairs yet. We find out after doing a quick search that the island is 100

If I could give this company a lesser rating, I would. My family was extremely disappointing in the quality of the rental we revived in Port Aransas.
What was most disheartening is that we found numerous negative reviews about this property, as well as terrible comments in the guest book located on site at the rental all dating back to 2015 and beyond. Judging from our experience, there was not (not had there ever been) a sense of urgency to bring the property up to acceptable standards. What a shame -a disgrace, really.
I have a friend who is booking a trip to Port Aransas and I made sure to

Rented a home through VRBO thinking it was a rental from a homeowner, NOT this company.
Terrible experience so far. If we could leave and find another place, we would. Rented a home for 13+ people for my moms 70th birthday toward the end of summer. Check in time was the only thing that has been accurate with this rental company. When we showed up, the floors in the house were still dirty and sandy. Roaches (of all sizes) popping up throughout the house. BBQ pit was not even recognizable as a bbq pit. Broken in pieces on patio. No beach access as shown and as it said in the description

We had the July 4th week rented in one of their units. They called 3 days before and cancelled claiming unfinished repairs. We got lucky and found another place, decided to drive by the place that was cancelled. To our surprise it was occupied. These guys lied and blamed a tragic disaster. They are despicable. Will be turning them into better business bureau. Beware of these crooks


Follow-up on earlier comment. We talked with the people in the unit that PAE had rented to us and then cancelled. They were relatives of the owner so it seems both the owner and this company are dishonest. Do not count

Absolutely horrible experience with this company. Poor details were given on Airbnb to make us think it was a homeowner renting us the property when it was this company. Beautiful home so this does not go to the property owners but only 1 of the 3 or 4 people we spoke with in the office gave acceptable customer service. The home we were staying in "magestic sun" has since been taken down Airbnb so I can't leave this there but the home was INFESTED with cockroaches. We were finding them in our clothes, kitchen, bedrooms, trashcan, COUCH, CHAIRS, EVERYWHERE. We were told they were

The positive was the location of the property. So in booking we were told there was a $50 an hour early check in and check in is 4pm. received a call at 1130 and told the place was ready now. We already had planned our trip to arrive at 4. We were at Beachhead Condo #501. Parking was horrible for 2 vehicles. When we had some rain there was a waterfall in front of the door from the floors above us. No other condos on our floor had this issue. The beds were old and the pictures must have been pre Harvey. The view from the deck is also misleading .
We have been longtime visitors to Port A and understand

Booked a condo, using AirB&B for the Thanksgiving weekend. And we had some truly unfortunate luck and arrived to find a sewage leak outside the back door of our condo. I called Port A Escapes, reached Brenda (mind you, it was 5pm the day before Thanksgiving) and they had someone onsite to repair it, within less than 10 minutes. No problem, we were happy, until the air conditioner broke down minutes later. Again, I called Brenda (at the point she and I were communicating via phone & text- that's how responsive she was) within 30 minutes they had dispatched the owner (and his wife) of

We stayed at a unit of theirs and it was disgusting! Sea Isle Villas unit 27 was disgusting. Dirty, full of bugs, outdated, stinky, carpet was wet and full of stains. We paid for two-night stay and I wanted to go home after the first hour! Will never use them again and will make sure to let everyone know not to use them! Look at your units and have some respect for people paying to stay at them!!

We have been coming down to Port A for 25 years. My husband loves to fish. We have boys.We always stay at Channel view Condominiums. We have always enjoyed onsite management, friendly and frequent maid service.This has all changed.
This is the first time it wasn't really clean. When I took my shoes off, there was sand and grit on the tile floor which translates to sand and grit on the sheets that are no longer changed.
Bait was STOLEN out of our bait buckets TWICE from the private pier .That has never happened before.
200$ increase with added fees.and for What???
I cleaned the apartment,

We really enjoyed out stay. It was cozy abd well priced.

It could have been cleaner. You can tell it was cleaned but not deep cleaned in some time. If you are picky.. it would bother you.

The instructions were very clear on how to get keys and drop them off. No hassles here.

We even had a change last minutes.. they were helpful and accomidating.

3 stars may be a too generous review.
When we booked our 2 night stay, we didn't get any information that we will be picking up our room keys somewhere else than listed in the email... That was unnecessary trip and concussion.
I'm giving 3 stars for good location close to the beach and pretty reliable wifi.
Why not 5 stars? Futon was missing a blanket...just plain sheets were provided. There was mold all over the ceiling and front door ready to fall apart and really difficult to even open from inside- very outdated all together.
Towels were provided, but usually you would see travel
