Can't beat this house. Kitchen is very well-equipped!! The location and view are the BEST!! We were there for our 30th anniversary and decided to make it an annual anniversary trip.
This is a great property and my family had a wonderful time. The only thing is that the pictures online are not accurate. There are two room which we supposed to have two double beds which have been updated to have king beds. This became an issue as my 13 and 16 year old did not want to sleep in the same bed but we figured it out. Other than that, you cannot beat the location and proximity to the ocean.
Love love love this place!!!! Going back for sure!! Counting days until our next stay! When they say on the beach that’s exactly what it is!!!! Beautiful view!!!!!
Plan to return, best located beach house I've ever stayed at. Excellent views, great property

Absolutely the best location directly on the beach! Our family had such a great time and will definitely be back!
Can’t beat the location of this property and the deck feels like you’re right on the beach. The neighborhood is also great. Only complaint is the dishes and pans were dirty when we showed up. Our dogs also got fleas on the property but hard to say where. Overall great stay in Port A!

Words cannot say what a wonderful time we had. The view was breathtaking the house was awesome. House was well equipped from kitchen to bedrooms and the beds were very comfortable. My family had a great time and also being able to bring our fur babies made the trip complete, only problem we did not want to leave, will definitely rent out again and recommend to friends and family.
We stayed in same house 12-14 years ago. Location is excellent and very hard to beat right on the beach. The deck offers 180 degree beach views. Lots of light in kitchen / dining area. Kitchen is well appointed. My singular ding has to do with the 5 dead roaches we found (3 within first 15 minutes) on the floor, and the deck which had not been cleaned up after prior tenant.

I put “mosquitoes” in the title so future guests wouldn’t forget to bring mosquito spray. The pet friendly beach house was really nice for our family. It was clean and Port A Escapes staff were very friendly. Kitchen was nicely stocked but future guests might want to throw in their own 7” non stick frying pan if they intend on frying eggs. We did see the usual beach roaches in the house, but we could tell the house was sprayed on a regular basis. The laundry room was not in the living area of the house (located downstairs near the garage) but that was not a game changer. Plenty of seating in the kitchen and on the deck. The best house in Lost Colony for beach location.

This was a great place to stay! It's pet friendly and the kitchen is well equipped. The views and access to the beach are unlike any place that we have ever experienced! It could use a bit of updating and minor repairs. The pocket door to the bathroom on the downstairs main bedroom did not work and should be fixed for bathroom privacy. We had to lock the bedroom door for bathroom privacy. The down stairs bedroom door had a hole on the inside that needs to be repaired. There were grass burs in the lawn, but we worked around them. I wish that there was beach access for golf carts. We reserved a golf cart only to find out that there was not golf cart accessible roads to the beach. Luckily Island Outfitters returned our money. Overall, this is a great house, and we will be booking it again.

Reviewer Comments:
We were very excited to stay at this property given the location right on the beach. However, we quickly realized, the location and the views were the only positive aspects of this house. On the first morning after our arrival, we were greeted by a large cockroach on the wall and on 3 subsequent mornings were also visited by cockroaches. We had several spiders hanging from a bathroom vent and a mouse dropping was found on the kitchen counter. The overall condition of the house was poor. Upon arrival, my daughter found food left on a windowsill in a bedroom. The furniture was shabby and falling apart (I.e. lamp shade ink guest bedroom. The living room was small with seating that can only fit 4-5 comfortably, which left others in our group unable to socialize in the same area. The doors to the deck do not have proper working locks and are secured only by wood blocks. The smoke alarm did not have a battery in it, which is against Texas Law for rentals. We requested property management to come and place a new battery. While they did arrive promptly upon our request, the smoke detector started beeping within an hour. A follow-up request was made to address this issue; however, there was no response from management, One morning we had a knock on the door around 9am and it was the management company asking to come in to replace the air filters because it was “air filter day”. I don’t feel this was professional and these type of routine property management services should be addressed at times when the property is vacant and in-between renters. While the location and ocean views were great, we were ultimately very dissatisfied with this property and caution those who are considering staying at this house.

You can't get a better location on the beach than this property. 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths and wrap around deck make this the best vacay TX spot ever. Do not come expecting a 5 star resort, if so, this is not your place. If you want a TX beach, relaxed mode and waves at your balcony, come here. Beds were clean, towels clean, sand on floor - but it was mopped. We will be back again! When staying at this property, expect and older floor plan which is super unique (in my opinion LOVE it) but also expect outdated furniture and a kitchen that lacks modern kitchenware and no salt/pepper, wrap, etc provided. Kitchen utensils are minimal, BUT it is so worth staying at Tito's because the view is 1000000% worth the money! Life is short. Book this place and if you are a TX person, you won't be unsatisfied!

Great location & beach house. My out of town company from Albuquerque & I from Austin enjoyed every bit of our vacation. I would suggest letting people know all the items in the kitchen so they don't have to bring their entire kitchen with them. So many utensils, cookware, pots, pans were there. The washer & dryer are in room by garage along with beach toys & boards.The ice maker wasn't working & fridge kept leaking all over floor which was a safety hazard for us. Hopefully it was fixed after we left.The nicest restroom at the top wasn't stocked like the rest were with small welcome items. I thought that was weird since its the master & best restroom.But overall, loved the house. Worth every penny & perfect for 6 adults. So many laughs & memories we made here.
Fun family stay at the beach. This house is right on the beach and lots of windows to view the waves. Listing photos are accurate and property’s management great to work with/ quick responses.
