Convenient downtown location - cute cottage
Very convenient location for walking around downtown. It was noisy at night on the weekend due to nearby music venues - bring ear plugs!

Sweet little cottage in Port A
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. There was plenty of room for our family of five. The kids loved playing at the pool. I especially loved that there was a washer and dryer to clean all of our beach stuff before traveling back home. I also learned that there are several houses surrounding the pool that you can rent as a large group. Will definitely recommend!

Loved our stay at the cottage!
The place is great. We loved the tasteful decor, the well appointed space. It’s a great location right in town, we walked to go eat, and then a quick drive to the beach. We loved the front porch too. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back. Justin was responsive and easy to work with.

Cute, clean and great location!
This cute cottage was very clean. All the decor made it feel very "beachy". The front porch was perfect for sipping coffee or wine. Close to restaurants and bars without being noisy.

The house is in a prime location, nicely decorated, very clean. Justin was a gracious host .
Justin was available to answer any and all questions. Port A is an absolute jewel of the Texas coast. The house is situated within four blocks to any thing you would like to do. Beach is amazing and the harbor is a relaxing place to sit and watch the ships. Bernie's on a Wednesday night is a blast!!! Again, thank you Justin for your hospitality.

Great location and as advertised
Great location, and we were able to walk to most of the venues we wanted to check out. As other reviewers mentioned, the bathroom door doesn't stay shut/won't latch. We didn't notice any bar noise at night. The pool looks well maintained, although we didn't use it.

Cozy cottage by the beach!
Great beach getaway! Tastefully decorated and immaculately kept cottage close to the beach and near all the restaurants. Very quiet neighborhood. Excellent pool that gave the family a great way to cool down on hot days.

We had a wonderful short vacation. The property was great, the neighborhood was quiet and the pool was a nice way to wind down the evening. I would definitely stay here again.

The perfect VRBO!
The Cottage has so many pros! * Location! Everything seems to be 5 minutes away. *Beautifully decorated to help make you feel you are treating yourself. * Comfortable furniture and beds! *Great kitchen layout. With table large enough for game night! *AND the bathroom is bigger than the photos can show. I love how Justin actually has plenty of bath hooks for towels, bathing suits, etc. Plus the towels and linens are luxury hotel quality. *Fabulous front porch...the afternoon and evening breezes do not disappoint! Probably my favorite part of the house. 😊 *Then last, but definitely not least....Justin is very prompt on replying to your questions prior to renting, and continues with his wonderful prompt communication through your visit. *We don't visit Port A often enough but The Cottage is definitely an incentive to visit more often. *Thanks Justin for taking pride in the Cottage and providing a lovely home to stay for a vacation. The Walther family

All you could ask for
The house and hosts were great. The house was clean and the location was handy. Though it didn’t bother my family at all, you can hear the band playing at a nearby bar until about midnight. Something to consider if you are the light-sleeping, early-to-bed type.

About the host

Hosted by Justin Sain

Host profile image
Born and raised in Port Aransas, my family has always enjoyed our little beach town and considered it paradise and we are looking forward to sharing our paradise with you. We envisioned a special place for families to come and unwind and make wonderful memories that will last them forever. We love our little fishing town and hope that you will too.

Why they chose this property

Our properties are located in Old Town close to everything. We are only minutes from the beach, live music, nightlife, restaurants, great fishing, museums, and sandfest. Enjoy a golf cart ride in town, a stroll down the beach looking for shells or go surfing, skateboarding, or parasailing. It's a perfect getaway for young and old. Also, a 20 minute trip to Padre will take you to the newly opened Schlitterbahn!
