Best Location for Vacation

This is our second time staying at Brucie's. The house is so great. So much room for everyone to spread out. Love the kitchen and dining for enjoying our home cooked meals each evening. The walk to the beach is short and sweet with the boardwalk at the end of the road. We really like working with the management, New Waves Vacation Rentals. Easy check in process and excellent communication. Look forward to our next adventure!

Lovely property!

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful house. The location is great, away from busy Port A but close enough. Just hanging out in the house with lightening fast Wi-Fi was very enjoyable.

Great beach house and location

The house is accurate to the listing and very clean! Beds were comfortable and basics for cooking in the kitchen were available. Plenty of room for our group to hang out both inside and outside, and it was a short walk to the beach. Would stay again!

Would definitely return!

The whole group had fun. Easy beach access, although renting one of their golf carts was so easy I highly recommend it! Great place 💕

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family loved staying in this beautiful house. Huge house with at least 5 balconies with one large wrap around balcony. Rent a golf cart and the beach is a short fun ride away down the board walk!! The outside is well maintained and nice as well. A little issue with the elevator but two nice men showed up quickly to fix it! Great stay!!

Nice stay close too the action

Nice house with plenty of space and equipped with a great kitchen. If you like to cook and consider yourself a foodie you will enjoy two kitchens “ one in the 3rd floor and one in the rooftop” and all the cookware you need to prep , cook and create great meals for the family. This home also provides a nice view of the backside of the island. Views of the airport and skydivers nonstop as well as a marina view. Good place to escape and only about a mile away from the beach.

Fun in the Sun

Its a little father from the beach than my old self liked to walk, so we drove down to the end of the boardwalk and walked in from there. There were some things that could have used more information (a sound system in the house we had no idea how to use, an outdoor shower we in back of the house we didn't find until the 3rd day, a VERY finicky elevator), the complete lack of any seating on the bedroom floor (1-2 chairs would be nice), and no seating on the master suite balcony. All in all, though, once we got used to the place, it was a great stay.

Could of been a 5 star

Everything was great. Cleaners had to return on day two to clean again. Showers and tile floors where not cleaned. Normal wear and tear but nothing out of the ordinary. Wish I could of giving it a 5 but that is perfection and this unit was not perfect but darn near it. We will stay again and recommend to others

Winter Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a great house. We rented Brucie’s Bungalow for the first time for a month this winter and really enjoyed our stay. We’ve been going to Port A for over 50 years, always in the Summer, but the Winter trip was a pleasant surprise. Except for the normal repair items you would expect staying in a house for a month, the house was perfect for our needs. The elevator is a huge bonus, the split level design gives everyone room to spread out, and the yard was very nice for our dog. Good location, short walk/cart ride to beach over private boardwalk. Felt like home away from home.

Peaceful and Relaxing

Very nice place, exactly as advertised…not many homes in immediate area, so surprisingly quiet and peaceful. Was nice having access to the boat garage for storage of miscellaneous beach “stuff”. Elevator operation is a bit wonky, but worked good once we figured out what was going on. Elevator outer door interlocks could use some attention…2nd floor in particular doesn’t always work without manual intervention. No big deal really, just keeps you from being able to call the cab to another floor. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Brucies Bungalow. This elegant beach home was clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The beach was just a short walk across the boardwalk but we also rented golf carts from New Wave and they were conveniently waiting in the driveway upon our arrival and they picked them up when we left. Liked that we didn’t have to take time out of our vacation to worry about those details. Definitely would recommend this property and New Wave. The property management-New Wave was very accessible for questions and helpful when we needed and we appreciated that. Looking forward to our next trip to Port Aransas.

Everything was very nice an comfortable. The issues we had was with the operation of the elevator and having no control over the AC. The elevator has a switch issue that is a little annoying and the AC kept us very cold and we had to turn it off occasionally to warm up. We found out that we just needed to call the management office to control the temperature. We had an initial odor when first arriving but it seemed to go away as the AC was started up and ran for a while, there was a sink in the master bathroom that was slow draining. We did have a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay at the rental.
