What a view!

Our family loved our 3 week stay at Lost Colony. The views from the house and our deck were spectacular. We walked the beautiful beach every day. Quick drive into Port Aransas for great restaurants, dolphin and ship watching. Bird watching at the nature preserves was so much fun. We would stay here again when in Port Aransas.

Nice stay

We had a great visit to Port A! What this house lacked in amenities it made up for with it's location, comfort, and management team.

Fall vacation

We stayed at Lost Colony during my grandsons’ fall break from school and had a wonderful time. It was great to be just a short walk to the beach—I grew up in Corpus Christi and really miss having the beach nearby. The condo was well-appointed, very clean and extremely comfortable. When we had a problem with the front door lock, Vacasa was on it and had it fixed within 30 minutes. We all enjoyed our time there and plan to try to rent this unit for our trip next year.

Nice place

Very nice place for a long weekend get a way with friends. Would have given 5 stars but we had a minor issue with no water pressure in a couple of the bathroom sinks. Reported it to Vacasa and after a series of questions they wanted me to go to a neighbor and ask if they were having issues. Issue is most likely sand in the faucet filters and they need to be cleaned. Some of the remotes were not working which made it hard to watch tv. Crazy ants showed up in the kitchen the last day. Location is nice also. This is the third time we have stayed in the Lost Colony neighborhood.

Hits and misses

The house is in a great location with a beach view, steps from the pool and the boardwalk. It’s in a gated area so we felt safe to leave our kayaks on the truck and the kids to walk around, go to the pool and the beach. The house was clean, the kitchen was well stocked. The issue bringing down the rating is the furniture. I was unable to sleep in the master bedroom due to softness of the bed. It was worse than a waterbed. The mattresses in the bunks are ok for children but not full size adults. The legs on the couch were broken and fell every time you sat on it and one end had to be propped up on 2x6s because the floor was uneven or the sofa was broken. If the mattresses and sofa were replaced I would consider renting again, but not until then.

Easy access to beach

House has a great view of the water! And super easy access to the beach, which was key with our two young boys. My family and I truly enjoyed our stay!

Pre-School Get-Away

We had a great visit to Port Aransas and the home was comfortable for the eight of us..4 adults and 4 teenagers. The beautiful view from the primary room on the 3rd floor was of the ocean & one partial home on the left. This home is setback from a few in front of it where those homes have a full view of the ocean. During our stay, a wonderfully strong summer storm came upon us and we enjoyed the small front patio at the front door on the Bay side...would have loved for there to be a patio off the primary upstairs that also provides shade below to enjoy on the main deck, maybe you could consider adding in the future. Other than a few hiccups with rain leaking in some places for repair, pest control and losing power to the microwave, we enjoyed it very much. Thank you for hosting.

Nice, but small

The location was great! As for the house itself, it was nice, but a lot smaller than we anticipated. There were a few things that needed attention and were reported to the management, but they did not send anyone. Porch light was out. Light in stairway to third floor was out. Entire wall where stove is was out (microwave and outlet). The drain in the second floor shower smelled really bad. I had to buy baking soda and spend the first evening cleaning the garbage disposal and freezer. (Smelled like fish) This is NOT a house to go to is you have children and think you will just escape to the bedrooms for quiet. The walls are thin. The deck offered a beautiful view, but zero shade. Overall, while it was a great weekend with the family, I don't think we will return to this particular home.

Not what was promised

When we first walked into the house, there was an initial assault of the smell of moth balls being overused. We did not see evidence of mothballs but there were several locked closets. I'm assuming the pungent smell was coming from there. Second, our rental was billed as being right next to the pool which it was. However, that pool was so filthy, I wouldn't have put my dog in there. I have a video to prove how awful it was. My family had to go down to the smaller pool which has a 15-person capacity and the pool was full. The pool never got cleaned while we were there. Lastly, the sofa was broken. You could not sit on it without sinking several inches down in the middle. It was like getting swallowed by the sofa. The house was not equipped with a dustpan to go with the broom and the house had an electric skillet but no chord. We asked for some sort of a refund as the pool was a very important part of our selection process and we got the run around. I will not rent here again.

Beautiful View. Cheap place.

The Pros: Beautiful Gulf views! Good size for large families. The Cons: Literally everything else. Everything about this property, from build quality, finishings, and decor, was cheap. The kitchen had absolutely no pantry space, so food has to sit out on the counter. All of the appliances were functional, but old and rusty and/or poor quality. The dining room table is sticky/tacky, even after cleaning it. The floors were absolutely FILTHY (bring old and/or black socks to wear inside). The couch had a seat where the support has completely failed. All the bathrooms, besides the master bathroom, were tiny. The bathtub in the master bathroom is not supported properly and "bounces" in spots. There is a dangerous slope to the floor near the entryway staircase. No curtains in the master bedroom and cheap, uncomfortable mattresses. The A/C is incredibly loud when running, and it either runs at full blast or is off. Looks like they just added a top floor deck, and there were deck screws literally all over the driveway, just waiting to pop your tires. The wifi never worked, so we were unable to use streaming services, and even when using the available cable television, the audio and video were not synced. Vacasa customer service was terrible and said they would send out a local property manager to resolve check-in issues, which they never did. By horrible coincidence and poor communication and execution by Vacasa, we ended up having to stay at this property, which was not the one we rented, and had to switch with another family. Vacasa NEVER UPDATED THE DOOR LOCK CODES or even sent us the updated info for this property, like they said they would. We had to get it directly from the other family. Huge safety issue.

Amazing Beach Location and View!

Best location ever! My entire goal for our trip was steps to the beach, and this one delivers. View is to die for! House was super clean when we arrived, with cold air blasting :) No complaints, other than the vents need to be cleaned of some mildew (to be expected at the beach), and the couch sinks down in the middle. This house is just great, updated and well cared for...and just the best location!! Nice quiet private beach!!

Great house close to the beach

Place was well appointed, clean, in great shape. Easy walking distance to the beach. Sleeps 8 easily, 3 bathrooms makes it very easy to live together in the space. Only drawback that I would identify is the Air Conditioner (which works very well by the way) is VERY noisy, particularly in the middle floor bedroom. Other than that, it was fine for our family vacation.

Poor communication and late check in

This is my first time using VRBO and it was a terrible experience. Could not get any help from the host when we arrived an hour and half after check in and the place was no ready. Never received a call from the host, vacasa was no help. Nobody was willing to help me. I will not be using vrbo or vacasa anymore.
