The staff was friendly and the pool area was ok. Not too pleased with the mold in the shower window curtains or the sense that the carpet is past its prime. More

Having never stayed in Port Aransas, we were not really sure where we should stay. I did not want to do the usual hotel room and instead, opted for a cottage. I chose The Cottages at Seashell Village and I am glad I did. We stayed in Cottage #2 and it was clean, comfortable and has a beachy charm that... More

The cottage we rented, #5, was exactly what we were hoping for. The grounds and building itself were really clean, and the staff was great and extremely helpful. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed to cook the fish we caught. I would highly recommend this location for families or couples looking to get away to a... More

They told us if we don't take out our trash, and clean the room they are going to charge us a fee. They even brought us a vacuum! This is insane, we are doing their job! One of our fold out couches was totally broken too. Don't stay here if you don't like paying to clean up after youself at... More

I’m so glad we found this place, thanks to TA reviews. The staff here are so nice: We arrived in town earlier than expected and because guests hadn’t checked out yet, we went to lunch and later got a call from reception that our room was ready (way before the official check-in time). Shelly and Martha were not only welcoming... More

After having a bad experience at another hotel, Seashell Village came to the rescue! This place is nice and very clean!! The staff is also very nice and they are always having specials on their prices. I signed up to receive emails so I'm always getting updates on upcoming specials. My family will be staying here from now on!!! :)... More

We love this place ... owners are awesome and have always given us a "deal" for our frequent returns. The music studio on summer weekends is a fun bonus if your into Texas roots music. It is always clean and well maintained, and just a short walk to the beach, surf shops, restaurants ... you name it. We've tried several... More

Had a very peaceful and relaxing time in Port Aransas last week and The Cottages at Seashell Village are the perfect place for us to enjoy and maximize our time. I doubt that there's any other accomodation where you can park literally a couple of feet from your door and not have to worry about hauling your luggage and beach... More

We headed down to Port A for an extended weekend. We thought we would try our luck and find a place to stay when we got there....big mistake. We went to the Seashell Village and were able to get the last cottage, a loft directly across the pool, and at a reasonable rate. The place was fantastic!! Located a couple... More

Pros: This place was very affordable and very clean! We were in walking distance to the beach and a very short distance from town/ some great restaurants. Cons: The office closes at 5 every day so if you need an extra pillow or anything, be sure to ask before then! We stayed for 2 nights and we did not have... More
