Cute and Colourful
Reviewers rave about these well-equipped
cottages with pots and pans, microwave, coffeemaker and spotlessly clean linens
and towels. Often described as cute, homely and cosy, each brightly painted
cottage has a private back porch with a swing, where families love to get
together of an evening.
positive:
Mustang-Island Base
Guests rate this hotel for its quiet location within walking distance of Port Aransas centre and the city's public beaches. Friends on fishing trips choose this unassuming accommodation for its laid-back atmosphere and its proximity to some of the finest fishing on the Texas Gulf Coast.
positive:
Warm Texan Welcome
Praised by many reviewers for running a tight ship in a big-hearted way, this family-run property's owners impress with their warm demeanour and willingness to assist, setting impeccably high standards which are upheld by friendly and efficient housekeeping and maintenance staff whom guests find equally accommodating.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Creepy Crawly Capers
A handful of guests have sighted bugs in these rustic, single-story cottages, including appearances from mosquitos and cockroaches. However, excepting the few faint-hearted guests who have had to call housekeeping for back up, most accept these unwanted visitors as an inevitable part of life in the tropics.
negative:
Uncommon grumbles
Most travellers are delighted with this simply furnished, retro accommodation. However, the occasional reviewer encounters badly maintained or grubby facilities in the quaint 1950s cottages. Ageing appliances, noisy air-conditioning units and dusty furniture have annoyed some reviewers, but those with serious grumbles are painlessly re-housed.
