This is my second year staying at the home and it is absolutely amazing great view, easy access to the beach, everything near by (stores and souvenir shops, restaurants) my stay was great I have zero complaints.
This was a great spot to stay for me and my family. Everybody had a spot to sleep, we were right next to the boardwalk so super easy access to the beach! The only trouble I ran to was getting into the house when we got there. We did everything we were supposed to but the little knob was giving us trouble. I honestly don't even know how we got it to work eventually. I will say I called the emergency line at 10 at night and they got back to me within 5 min so I appreciate that! As a recommendation, I think you guys should get a blender! I couldn't get the margarita machine to work lol but that's ok we didn't really neeed margaritas :)
We came for a quick getaway and this property was perfect. Plenty of space for our kids to stretch out. Location is wonderful and super easy to get on the beach. We would definitely stay here again.
The property is awesome. Great sites and a great house. The a/c has to work hard to cool down the place but other than that it’s great

We love Knot 4 reel. It is a very nice 3 story home with a boardwalk to the beach. We have stayed here several times before & will do so in the future. This trip, the AC in the 2nd floor bedroom did not work. I'm sure this will be corrected.
Overall we had a wonderful stay! This location was right next to the boardwalk with great views of the beach. My husband and I stayed here during our wedding weekend and the house lived up to most of our expectations. The experience of sleeping with the A/C off, windows open, feeling an ocean breeze cannot be beat!
Only complaint that could be fixed by property managers fairly easily would be the unfinished bathroom upstairs (a little disappointing to have a washcloth shoved in an unfinished hole in the shower ceiling of the master bathroom). Additionally, there is quite a bit of construction going on around the area that will be in your view of the beach. No issues from a noise perspective, but you should be aware of both of these items going into booking when you spend this type of money on a place.
Definitely will be back, hopefully with all renovations completed by then!
Amazing view and location. Hard to overstate this, we've never had a better location to town and the beach. Great Ocean view especially from second and third floors. Boardwalk to beach is literally outside the fence to the patio. Some foot traffic walking by, but everyone was pretty quiet. Never noticed any noise inside. Short golf cart ride to the heart of Port A. The house was nice and clean inside. We spent most of our time on second and third floors. Master BR is on the third floor. Few Small things not worth removing a star: Small drainage issue in the second floor shower. The de-humidifier in first floor had to be emptied daily. One split unit and a portable AC kept that 1st floor area cool. So it's fine, but keep an eye on the dehumidifier. Some random lumber next to the boardwalk wasn't great, but I don't know if that's the property's wood or HOA's. That charcoal grill has maybe 50% of the bottom rusted out in the middle. Some neighborhood construction noise off and on, but never a nuisance.
We just wrapped up our fourth annual trip to Port Aransas. We’ve always had great experiences with the properties we’ve rented in the past, but this property was not a great experience. We saw a mouse in the kitchen.The door handle to the lower level was broken.The main-level shower wouldn’t allow us to adjust the water temperature.The outdoor hose was broken. While a replacement was brought to us, the old hose couldn’t be removed by hand.There was a significant amount of hair in the bedsheets on the top level.When we arrived, the cleaning crew was still finishing up, the inside stairs hadn’t yet been cleaned.There were no trash bags provided for the kitchen.We found a dead cockroach on the floor when we arrived.The basement door leading to the garage was left ajar.The thermostat was set to 77F upon arrival, making the home uncomfortably warm at first.Many of the rugs were heavily stained and had burrs or stickers embedded in them.The toilet paper holder in the lower-level bathroom was broken. Lower level was smelled like mold. I do not recommend staying here.
This was our first time to stay at Knot 4 Reel. Overall we loved the house and the location was perfect.
The house could have been more thoroughly cleaned. So many things are crammed in the closets and the kitchen cabinets were overflowing with gadgets that you really don't need. The kitchen is great space, but a true hodge podge of stuff. We might have had 7 forks?!!! For the amount of money you spend to stay here, the property management company could surely do a better job of preparing the place for their guests.
Our family had a great time and we will probably be back, but I'd love to see the management team step it up!
We had a large family reunion, ages from adults down to infants. The three levels have everyone their own space. Only negative was the second floor bedroom stayed warm. I saw this issue in other reviews as well. We would definitely go back.
We had a nice stay in Port A. The house was large and as described. It was very close to the beach with a private access directly to the boardwalk. For the price we paid though I was surprised of issues with the property which included roaches, sliding door wouldn’t lock, shower head in Master BR falling out, pans in kitchen were covered in baked on food, there were no drapes on second floor window, no window covering on first floor bedroom window which overlooks walkway to beach, there was a broken window that had been taped, an emergency AC was added to cool off the first floor but it was still hot and there was a large hole in the sofa arm of the sofa on the first floor. The WiFi was horrible. However, it was a comfortable and very convenient beach home. Just needs a little TLC for the price that was paid.
We had a wonderful time. The view and access to the beach was amazing. They delivered our golf cart rentals directly to the property with a full tank of gas. We did have one issue, but they addressed the issue quickly. We will definitely rent from Life in Paradise again!
Really liked the 3 levels to separate the 3 families when sleeping. Overall it was nice but there was some more wear and tear to walls and showers that were not shown in the pictures. The cleaning was sufficient but not outstanding as there were a pair of shoes left under a bed, what looked like dog treats under the couch and larger noodle crumbs on the kitchen floor. The property manager was easy to communicate with and the location was perfect as it was right next to the boardwalk to the beach.
We booked this property and then Hurricane Hanna came through. The property held up nice. It was clean, has great views and access to the beach. Despite the hurricane it was a great experience.

Pros: Easy check-in. Great management. View of water. Lots of patios. Very comfortable King beds. Easy access to the beach with neighborhood boardwalk located at back gate. Outdoor shower. We will def. be back! Cons: Construction noise from next door, tight parking w/ pickups, no broom to sweep sandy floors.
We had an amazing time watching the waves and enjoyed the view thoroughly!
It was my first time staying at a vacation rental property and oh my will i ever stay at a hotel again... we totally loved it!!! my kids loved the space the play and roam freely and my mom & husband enjoyed the location thoroughly. The only thing i would have liked to know beforehand was the construction going on next to the house, couldn't sleep in due to the noise :(
