Very refreshing to come to this review on the coast with just leaving a different property not on the coast but was not welcoming at all. Love this place and would recommend it to anyone. Felt like we were wanted there. Good job and keep up the good work.

Great location and beach access!

We had a great stay at Lost Colony. The location was perfect — just a short walk to a beautiful, quiet stretch of beach. The house was clean and comfortable, and the deck was a nice place to relax after a day by the water.

Fantastic Place To Stay

The property was clean and had everything we needed for a week's trip. The location of the beach access was perfect. Gulf view with easy in and out access.Far enough away from local stores and businesses to feel isolated but still close for eateries and grocery supplies.

I’m torn on this review, the place itself was just as listed, great location right in the beach, the house itself was great but there small things throughout the trip that added up to me deciding I won’t book this place/management company again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My girlfriends and I have been going to Port A for many years and this is by far our favorite place that we have stayed. It is right on the beach and next to the pool. It was clean and spacious, decorated nicely with comfortable furniture. Also a large balcony to enjoy seeing and hearing the ocean. A nice touch was that the host left a thank you gift! We can’t wait to go again! Needless to say this was the perfect place for our girls getaway!

Well-appointed, and location location location. Steps from the beach. Easy access to everything we needed: HEB, airport to pick up a family member, Mustang and Goose Island State Parks, nice restaurants, coffee shop.Plenty of plates, utensils, glasses and serving dishes. Comfortable furniture, everything in good shape. Nice beds.Easy communications w/texts, info on fridge.Only negatives: ice maker wasn't working but we didn't need any. Wish there was a small pantry(even free-standing) to put our food; kinda covered up all the counters. This close to the beach, we didn't care. Great stay.
Not kidding, this is right outside the house.
Watch the sun rise from the 3rd floor king bed.
