We needed a late check in which the group host provided through a lock box at the rental office, but we were given the wrong code for the gate....unable to initially connect with the overnight attendent who was inside the gate, who finally did try to help us but she too could not figure put why our packet with the keys and information had a code that did not work. We did reach a overnight host that tried to trouble shoot the problem, didn't work initially until she reset the gate code.....this unfortunately was not a great start to our stay. The gates are very secure, the stairways definetely need more lighting. Would have been nice to know if we could have accessed other stairways for deck access, as our "apartment"had no out to the oceanside. There is no beach in front of the complex but there is a nice dock out into the ocean. Apartment nicely furnished.....we love Port Aransas and this is our first experience with this VBRO group. I definetely know what questions to ask before proceeding with our next booking.
