Great location!

The property was accurate as listed. It didn’t have a laundry room or an ice maker. It also needs a bit of love-several items need attention (bed, door, couch). All work in a pinch. The location is excellent-walking distance to many restaurants, bars, shopping and attractions. We appreciated being allowed to have our dog! Very good, reasonably priced property.

We love Spanish Village cottages and only stay there when we come to Port Aransas twice a year. Also the gift cups left for us with the cottage name and personal welcome sign inside the cottage was a great addition.

Maybe a couple small children would be ok. It was clean and had a comfortable bed. Nice screened porch to enjoy morning coffee. Location is very convenient to anywhere. I would stay here again. Property managers were great communicators.
