I could of lived quite happily all summer in this little cottage! The cottage is just the perfect size for a couple with a nice comfy bed, plenty of pillows! Living room area, dining area and well appointed kitchen, absolutely everything you would need to make a simple or not so simple meal! A couple of chairs right outside your... More

It's also a 5 minute drive to anywhere you'd want to eat, drink or shop. 2. Condition of the cottage Excellent! Clean and cozy. We love the... More

Are you kidding me? The outside looks cute and inviting. The room stunk like some gross smelly i don't know what. The room was filthy. The ceiling fans looked like they haven't been cleaned in years. There was a gross thick build up on the fan blades. I called the front desk, and they close at 5pm! Spend your money... More

This was the first time my wife and I stayed here. When we showed up the staff greeted us and joked around with us about everything which made it seem personable. Then we got to our room and it was amazing. Smelled great and was spotless. The cleaning crew was amazing. We brought our dog for only a $25 fee... More

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.

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
