We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Port Aransas. Sandy Paws was a lovely home with a view of the ocean. The interior was clean and open and we loved the pink exterior. Y’all made it easy to book and pay and having the lounge chairs, corn holler etc delivered was so easy. We had a blast!

We hadn't anticipated it being unavailable for as long as it was. We are still working on things, and plan to get a grill once we are able. We love this property and hope you do too!

Loved location of house. Went in knowing house needed updating but really disappointed in conditions. Master bath door doesn't close, wallpaper coming off and sliding shower doors unattached at bottom. Kitchen tile pretty but broken off in places and taped in other. Light bulbs missing in bathroom fixtures making it look more rundown. Frig. rusting and cracked inside. Two t.v.'s we could never get to work. Pulled out the sofa sleeper to find food and socks. I will never stay at this house again but I will definitely choose another property with Life in Paradise.

Overall

This was a great location and despite the house needing a lot of repair, the house worked out fine for my family.
The cons:
I feel that there was a pretty hefty cleaning fee and I expected the house to be immaculate but when we walked in the first thing I noticed was the thick layer of dust on the kitchen fan. It looked like it had never been wiped down. The blinds were all covered in a thick layer of dust as well and you could see dust sitting on all the surfaces like the TV and the light fixtures. That was a bit disappointing and gross. The tile on the kitchen counter tops were literally crumbling off to where there were parts being held on with TAPE. One of the comforters had a giant rip in it. None of the lamps worked. The rails on the stairs were coming off. The house needed a lot of repair. There was only one roll of toilet paper along with less than half a roll on the holder from whoever used it before even though we were told there were two rolls in each bathroom for us. Items that were supposed to be there weren't like dish soap.

Seems like from all the negatives it was a terrible place!
The pros were it was over all a cute house. A bit out dated sure. It had a nice big deck and a little picnic table under the house that was great for the kids because it also seemed to have its own sandbox around it so they could play there as well. There were beach toys available for us to use and the beach was a short walk down the board walk which was private and really nice. The house was spacey enough for us and the appliances that mattered worked for us such as the fridge and stove. I read people complain about how hot the house was. We actually felt cold most of the time and had to turn the air up. However we like it more on the warm side so...
Customer service was good. I ended up forgetting some items there and they were able to ship them back to me.
It's a toss up on if we would come back.
I might recommend with warning and que

The beach house was great. It had everything we needed. One suggestion I can give is to change the picture of the living room that has the blue floral couches. That furniture is no longer in the house, it’s been replaced with new furniture. I think it would help with rentals if the pictures were updated.

Very clean and comfortable rental. Beach was short walking distance. Area where rental located quiet and relaxing. My only suggestion is to fix the sofa sleeper. We opened it up and had to remove board that supports the cushions. Upon opening bed found a few missing springs at foot of bed, it didn't feel real secure. The charcoal grill was unusual that we couldn't seem to get fire going and we grill all the time. We bought new charcoal and everything it just took forever for coals to get white. Other than that I would rent this again. Lots of cooking space and cookware.

Perfect location!

I've stayed at a couple of houses on La Playa Circle over the years, and have always had a wonderful time. Each house was clean and well-stocked, and Life in Paradise management was friendly, quick and helpful the one time I had a technical issue to resolve. The Sherman house has a huge kitchen, suitable for a large pot-luck dinner when we had friends staying nearby. A short walk gets you to the beach, and the main \"drag\" is a very short drive away when you're ready to hit the restaurants and shops, and for the inevitable visit to the grocery store. I will be back!

The home itself is very spacious and in a great location. The home needs updating although that is not a deal breaker for me. The home was clean and inviting and when we walked in we were happy. Unfortunately, the things that were upsetting were the fact that there was no coffee filters, no trash bags, and no cleaning supplies other than dishwashing items. While this may not seem like a big deal, it is when you wake up to make coffee and can't find the filters. We had to improvise with paper towels, just wish I had been told. As for the trash, again, it doesn't seem like a big deal but it is when you have a full trash can and no bag to refill it with. This would not stop us from renting this home again, the rental company was very easy to work with and some nice person came and took the trash bin to the top of the circle. We would just make sure to bring those supplies next time.

Nice but not quite Paradise!

Reviewed on 2015-07-23 by David H. , Lampasas, TX United States

Overall

Overall we were pretty satisfied with the property especially as far as location(e.g., close to beach, boardwalk access to beach, view of Gulf from upper deck) and being clean inside.
However, the overall property especially on the outside needs some work. The exterior paint on siding shows much rust showing from nails on siding. The deck could use recoating as it is pretty easy to pick up splinters on feet. There is some wire screen mesh missing on the final landing of the stairs where a child or pet could easily slip through and fall or get caught between steps and deck. The hose to spray sand off beach items needs a new spray handle as you have to get down in the sand to turn on and off which gets your feet or shoes sandy again. One sliding glass French door to the deck does not open. It would be nice to have a little grassy area on the property not filled with sand spurs for the pets especially, as we spent quite a bit of time pulling out the stickers from between the pet's paws. The boardwalk out to the beach is also starting to need some maintenance as a nail was sticking up in on place that could puncture a foot or child carrier tire.
As a final comment, we would likely come back to this property since it was very convenient to the beach.

The downstairs shower is great for rinsing off when you come back from the beach. Charcoal grill and downstairs (shaded) picnic table was great for beach lunches without freezing in the A/C upstairs!
