"Best Vacation Ever!!
We have been going Port A for over a decade and this time was the best. We arrived early to find our buggy at our rental home. The home was available early as well. The home was exceptional, clean and was above our expectations. "

"Awesome place
Sunset landing was great
very clean , perfect location , so close to all the great restaurants, super market, entertainment and walking distance to beach, we had Christmas and new years Weekends and enjoyed every single moment
Best part is that we were able to have our fur baby with us and even has a fenced yard
I will be back and recommending to friends and family
Port A escape staff made it super easy to check in and check out they are very attentive
Thank you
Barron family "

"sandfest vacation rental
Very happy with the location of the house, it is very close to the restaurants, bars and the beach. Although if you would like to walk to the beach it is a bit to far to walk with all of your beach items. We had a golf cart for the weekend and it was perfect for us. We liked that we had access to the garage to put our beach items and golf cart in over night. We were very happy with the company who is in charge of this property, they called us at 9am to tell us our house was ready for us to check in (6 hours early which was very helpful). Downfalls of the house were that the cable has very limited channels, the couches have stains on them, kitchen pots and pans are very limited, coffee maker was broken, ice maker was not working, and the refrigerator did not keep items very cold. Overall happy with our stay, it is very hard for us to find a house that does not have twin beds in it for our couples vacation. "

"Nice, but...
Unbeatable location, however for being only a few years old, this unit could use some improvement. The kitchen is poorly furnished, living room sofa could use a cleaning, satellite TV package was terribly limited in the channels it offered. This feels much more like a rental unit than someone's personal home."

"Christmas Vacation
I can't thank Port A Escapes enough for our wonderful Christmas Vacation. Pelican's Landing was so beautiful! My entire family had the best time celebrating Christmas here. We had everything we needed. Bedrooms were spacious, clean and relaxing. The kitchen/living area was perfect for our family of 10. We will surely be back to visit again!"

"Great place for families.
We had a wonderful time in Port A and staying at Sunrise Cottage 8. The home was clean, functional and beautiful. It was in a great location. 10 min walk to the beach through neighborhoods or a 2-5 minute walk to restaurants, ice cream, snow cones, or the grocery store!. Would HIGHLY recommend it."

"Great cottage, great locale!
We loved staying here because it's a great locale, ez biking distance to everything in old town Port A,clean place and dog friendly. We have a vacation rental in Colorado and are picky vacationers...we love when our guests give us both positive and any negative comments so that we can make our cabin better each time. Here's the following suggestions I would make for this cottage :1) provide an iron/board,2) needs a full length mirror3) there were no hand soaps in the bathroom/kitchen so we bought some4) would be nice if they had furniture on the rock patio side 5)oj juice size cups would be great 6) we had some lights out (exterior/interior) but told the mgmt staff so hopefully they're fixed now. 7) a few more blankets would be nice too. Other than that, we loved it and will return!"

"Not great, just o.k.
This rental is clearly an investment property and not a family's vacation home. There were lots of little things missing that would have made it nicer -- like soap dishes in the bathrooms and hooks for wet towels and bathing suits. The wi-fi did not work for any of us and the TVs were all hooked up to the same Dish, so everyone in the house had to watch the same channel, like it or not. We had a lot of trouble getting into the property -- first, it was not clear from the address info provided to us whether the property was on EAST Ave C or WEST Ave C, so we ended up driving around Port A at 10 p.m. on the night we arrived. The keys that were in the lock box were secured with a twisty-turn combination lock, not a button triggered one, which was a big surprise and which cost us quite a bit of time to get into. The building itself had absolutely no address marker anywhere visible outside, so we weren't sure we were going into the right place until we found a door that would open with our keys. Which wasn't the front door -- the front door lock was too stiff to open with our keys. We did manage to get into the back door, but it was not at all easy to find in the dark. Once we were all inside, we mostly enjoyed the property. It was nice and clean and comfortable for the most part. The pool was really nice. This property and its management just need some polishing touches. We probably wouldn't return here, though, because it is about a half mile walk to the beach and when you have a big group with little kids and a lot of stuff, it is too far to walk. So if you stay here, you may need to plan to rent a golf cart or get a permit to park your car at the beach."

"Had a great time!!!
Loved the lay out of the house. Had everything we needed. Very clean and nicely decorated. Loved the screened in back porch."

"Great for large group
We had a great time at the beach, with 8 people in the house. Our biggest concern was the bugs. We ended up killing 3-4 large roaches while we were there, which wasn't exactly relaxing. Besides that, the home was really in the perfect location with the perfect amount of space for us. We loved having all the bedrooms upstairs, so it was simple to get away if you wanted to. "

"Late July 2015 Vacation
4 Adults and 3 kids and had plenty of room. Unable to get TV's upstairs to play anything aside from DVD's so no satellite, Internet is a plus. Be nice if had personal grill but at the shared pool worked out OK. Ping Pong table did not have net / work. All-in-all nice place and good location close to town and beach access."

"Family Reunion wity 6 addulsts & 2 children
the space was overall very satisfactory. We were disappointed that there were not extra blankets in all the bedrooms, towels or soap in the downstairs 1/2 bath or adequate start up supplies for kitchen or laundry room. Otherwise, it was cute and well situated to the beach. "

"family vacation
This was a nice spacious house. Great location, we were able to walk to all of the shops. The house was also stocked with all of the things needed to cook for a crowd. I do have a few complaints..the couch was is covered in stains. This is a pet friendly place so the stains were a little disturbing..we kept the couch covered with blankets and sheets..the pool was also extremely small, in the picture it looked a lot bigger."

"Great for big groups
Location is excellent. 2nd time we stayed in sunrise cottages.
The pool is a great area to hang out. We rented 3 houses so we all met at the pool and planned our day. The houses are super clean and great
Floor plan. All bedrooms upstairs. Half bath down stairs is convenient. "

"Great House and Location
This was our 3rd year in a row coming to Port A, and this house is hands-down the best one we have ever stayed in. It had plenty of room and all the amenities of home. We will try to stay in this exact same house again next year!!"

"Just so so
This was a so so experience with a few small issues stacking up to put a slight damper on an otherwise great trip. I emailed the office well before we left to ask for early check in and was told to call Friday morning. When I called, the person who answered initially was not helpful at all and told me check in was at 4. When I told her I had emailed and was told to call she stated they would call me if I could check in early but not to count on it. Sylvia called me back moments later to let me know the house was in fact ready. Once we arrived the house was clean and is a cute property. It does need a new couch - the one in the house is very stained. On the second day I was greeted outside by the neighbor who proceeded to lecture me for 30 minutes on "picking up after my dogs" and who made sure to let me know he was a "local" and lives there full time. Not sure what sparked his little rant but he was extremely rude and condescending. He then called the property manager who called me to let us know we needed to pick up after the dogs. Hello?! People who travel with their pets generally know the etiquette and unwritten rules regarding picking up their "droppings". Overall this was a so so experience. I will not stay at this property again solely because of the neighbor. "

I've used Port A Escapes before and I had a great experience with the company. The staff is professional and friendly and the property is always clean! Will use them again!"

"Port A Escapes -- wonderful agency to work with
We absolutely loved the property we rented through Port A Escapes
and will definitely return in the summer! Excellent in all areas -
clean, beautiful, close proximity to the beach and restaurants.
Loved it!"

"Another Great Stay in Port A
We have stayed many times in port a thru port a escapes.
They are very friendly and accommodating.
I shouldnt say this because I dont want this place booked when we decide to visit again, but, this is our favorite place thus far!!"

"Management Company (Port A Escapes) not doing their job!
We've been going to Port A at least twice a year for the last 5 years and I can say without a doubt that this was the WORST experience we've had! The Property Mgt Company (Port A Escapes) was basically non-responsive and didn't really seem to care about any issues we had during our stay BECAUSE they already had been paid. First, the wireless internet didn't work. We called within the first hour we were there and they said the "password" must have been changed by the owner and wasn't given to them. They said they work get it fixed, but, it never got fixed for the 3+ days we stayed there. Next, we had a large group and got two keys and only one of the keys really worked (when you could see how to get the key in the door lock) because the outside porch/door light didn't work. I checked to see if it just needed a bulb, but it was not any ordinary bulb that would fix it. Port A Escapes was notified of this and the fact it was a "safety hazard" and again the problem wasn't fixed nor did they say anything except "thanks for telling us about it" for the 3 nights it wasn't working. One of the TVs was broken and although they did send someone out to look at it, the TV couldn't be repaired during our stay. The refrigerator had a broken shelf/drawer and barely kept things cool, forget about getting anything cold. We had to keep putting ice in the bottom/refrig part to keep stuff from spoiling/getting warm. Bottomline: Worst experience renting at Port A location EVER and definitely not worth $300 a night!!!"

"Family Beach Vacation
So nice to find 4 bedrooms with full-king size beds in all but one which had double bunk beds. We had 8 adults, 2 children & 1 baby so the beds for 'couples' were perfect for us. Clean, kitchen pretty well stocked, great location if you can't be right on the beach! Pool well maintained such a nice plus. Would definitely rent again. Lots of TV's although 1 bedroom TV not installed properly & did not work at all. Sectional sofa provides lots of seating great for a large crowd but could really use a good cleaning. Staff at Port A Escapes helpful as well."
Sep 08, 2013 - Linda R., Kyle, TX
"Ehhhh..
The location of this property was great. Port A was great; however the house had some issues. 3 televisions in the bedrooms upstairs did not work (only the master BR TV worked). The couch in the living room is absolutely filthy. It needs to be cleaned urgently. There was sand and hair on the sheets in some of the bedrooms. I would assume that since they charge a cleaning fee that these would be non issues. The house itself is great, but management needs to make sure it's properly cleaned and up to standard. Don't mean to be harsh just telling it like it is..."

"Pelicans Landing Review--overall good
The house was very beautiful with lots of sleeping space for up to 12 people and a great kitchen. However, based on our experience, I would advise that the cleaning personnel sweep and mop the floors. We had to buy a swiffer mop and do this on our own, because the floors were so filthy. Also, the management should add a DVD player to the main tv in the living room, so that guests can watch DVD movies."
Aug 08, 2013 - , San Antonio, TX
"Great place but could have been cleaner
We really liked the house. The sofa was extremely stained and there were a few spots in the kitchen that needed some cleaning like the drawers, they had crumbs, and some of the silverware looked dirty and was put away like that. It was nothing that a few minutes of work didn't fix. Overall we really enjoyed the house. Both the pool and the house look a lot bigger in the pictures. The only TV that worked was the one down stairs in the living room and when we called to see if someone could come and take a look they basically blew us off and said they would tell maintenance but thy didn't know if they could make it. They never came! We would definitely rent again considering the issues. Oh, the house is very loud because the floors are all wood and everything echos."

"Had a great stay with my family of 7
Have no complaints, only suggestions. I think it would be a plus to have a BBQ grill at the house and not have to take your food to the community pool area for grilling. The only other suggestion I have is to have the sectional sofa steam cleaned, it is light in color and shows water stains,etc. "

Great week at sunrise cottages, great house, love the layout with bedrooms upstairs!"

"Pelicans Landing, a great place, we will be back
I can only think of one change that would be nice, and it's a little thing. But as a senior, it's a high step in or out of the screen back door to the pool. A small step would sure be a nice addition. "

This house is a great place to stay. It is located perfectly on a corner for easy access. Everything was accommodating and look forward to renting again in the future. "

"Great Stay
We stayed 5 nights had 7 adults and 4 children. We enjoyed our stay very much. The house and pool were perfect as 3 of the kids were under 4. We were able to enjoy the beach and the pool, so they were never bored. The house was large enough and the kitchen and living room were perfect for watching the Olympics. The only minor issue was the house is not "sound proof" so once one small child was awake, the whole house was awake. We love Port A, so this was very convenient to anything we wanted to do, and resonably priced."

"Port A trip
Nice place and location. fairly near the beach and town with golf cart rental. would love to have better grills at the pool or even better, have one at the actual house. Was very clean and plenty of room."
