Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is great. Watching the sunset and the ship channel made the experience even better. Close to the water and all the restaurants. The only complaint was the couch was very dirty, never was vacuum under the cushions.

Amazing location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 had a wonderful time, beautiful views, watched dolphins turtles and pelicans from the dock. Pool and grounds were spotless. Only thing we didn’t like were the spiral stairs, with a 6 and 9 year old it was hard to navigate.

Forth of July weekend

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: The rental was very clean had everything you might need to make your stay comfortable. The only thing was the pool needs to be updated and cleaned, although it is right on the water so it may be a little harder to keep up. The rest of the property and our condo was fantastic. Would definitely return. Thanks for the the great family Fourth of July weekend.

Bay Tree Condo escape

The Bay Tree condo was perfect! It was clean, and well located just off the channel in old town Port Aransas. I loved sitting on the deck watching the ships coming and going. Port A Escapes was the perfect host I never saw. I was impressed by the smart phone check-in, and checkout process. I’ll use Port A Escapes for future Port A accommodations.

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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice and quiet location. Great views. Lots of stairs. Interior spiral staircase is narrow. Very narrow. Awkward layout. All bedrooms are up stairs with 1 full bath. Another full bat on middle level with the kitchen and living room.

To be clear

I agree with other reviews on great location, good communications, clean, family friendly, and well stocked kitchen. Nice touches were lots of hooks, great for towels and bathing suits. And provided clothes racks in rooms, but bring your own coat hangers. Washing machine and dryer were convenient and efficient. Two things you need to know when booking….1, all bedrooms are upstairs. Stairs are narrow and steep. Could be hard for very old, very young, or very large. And 2, the bunk room is only big enough for beds. No room for luggage. enjoyed our stay

Bay Tree C112

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 have been staying at Bay Tree for years and love it. I'm older and the stairs are a bit treacherous, but that will not stop me from staying there again. I caution anyone using the web, though. My FB account was hacked while I was on your public site. It is causing major problems.That might not be the public web's fault. Not sure.

Cute Property!

The condo was very cute and clean. Had all of the basic necessities! Beds were comfortable! It was a little warm upstairs but there were fans in each room! My only 2 issues are/were: 1. The front door locking and unclocking was a little tricky! 2. The pool was closed while we were there, i wish we had known beforehand. We tried to open the gate but it was locked, had to call property manager and that's when i was told the pool was closed. No sign posted or anything. I wish they would have let us know. Overall, it was a great stay. And i would recommend!

Port A Vacation

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 were very pleased with the rental. C 11-12 worked perfectly for the 6 of us. There was plenty of room in the condo and we were not tripping all over each other. We were able to have two home cooked meals as well. Can you do anything to cool the pool down though, lol? Coming from a cold water state there is no relief from the heat, not in the pool, nor the gulf. But it was still very enjoyable. It was clean and the AC worked amazing!!! Thank you again Bay Tree for a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

AMAZING VIEW

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: AMAZING VIEW, beautiful decor, very clean, great parking, comfy beds. I thoroughly LOVED this condo and hope to return here many times!! Tips: 1. Spiral staircase is steep and narrow, but if you prefer, you can enter the upstairs bedrooms from outside. 2. Kitchen is equipped, but bring your own staples (sugar, salt, pepper, seasonings, etc.). Again, you will not regret the rental. We watched dolphins every single day, I saw a sea turtle, and some folks caught a fish or two... and a crab from their fishing pier. I believe this unit is NOT pet friendly, but I saw other folks on the property with pets. Truly so beautiful. I could have stayed at the condo the entire time and never even stopped foot on the actual beach.

Nice but sparse supplies

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cleanliness as we have come to expect from rentals. Great view with lots of widelife. Fun to watch big ships drive by.Friendly neighbors. No starter hand soap, dish soap, no bath mats, not enough towels for 8, no salt and pepper. The screen door didn't close because handle is broke. Would rental again but just come better prepared.

Best in Port A if your kids fish

We loved it! The beds were comfy, the kitchen stocked, bathrooms OK, (a tiny bit dirty)TV's downstairs and in each bedroom and the swimming pool is nice. However, the absolute best part of the condo was the fantastic views of the channel from both the 1st and 2nd floor balconies and direct access to the boat docks and fishing docks right outside your door. It was awsome because the kids would wake in the morning and head straight out to fish while we got some extra sleep. The only concern I had was with the very narrow, steep, spiral staircase leading to the 2nd floor. We all took more than a few tumbles, (because of the design and the "extra" step at the bottom) but if you keep vigilant and be very careful you should be okay. My family has been going to Port Aransas every summer since I was a child (over 50 years!) and I really think this is the best place we've stayed yet. Book your trip. You will love it!

Everything was great. The staircase inside was a tight fit to take bags up/down. We had to leave early due to hurricane. 😪

Excellent location - we saw dolphins from the deck!

The property was as advertised. Deborah, the property manager made our check-in seamless and easy during our visit. We saw her working tirelessly the whole time to make sure the pool and grounds were taken care of during our visit. The condo was perfect for a beach stay, it has a water view from which we saw dolphins surfacing every day and giant ships passing by. It was really neat. The complex was quiet and provided a nice respite after a long day in the beach sun. We'd stay here again.

Expectations met

We had stayed here once before so knew what to expect. Almost totally recovered from Hurricane Harvey. Still have a few items to check off of their list but overall they didn’t interfere with our visit. Unexpectedly, we were greeted in our unit with chocolates, roses , pink colored popcorn and a card wishing us a happy anniversary AND Valentines Day!! Just, wow, didn’t think that’d ever happen.
