    I am so very happy that we pick Sand and Sea cottages. For the 3 nights that we were there. We were able to be on island time. It was clean and quite. The price was very reasonable for 4 adults and two small dogs. Mathew was wonderful from begining to end. The pool was great also. We will stay there again next year.

    PEOPLE!!! All headed to Port Aransas, TX you must rent one of these cozy clean and quaint cottages, they have all amenities and comforts of home while being only a mile to the beach. Matt...is a SUPER HOST, and was so helpful with helping us find local spots to eat, fish, get groceries, and all things helpful. You must get down here, meet Mr. Matt who again I cannot thank enough for the sincere hospitality and beautiful cottages to rent...my husband and I plan to return alone as we went with my mother, ...for another round of sea and sand cottages...the price is very very reasonable and you will be truly missing out if you dont come here...it takes you back to retro times, like the 60s, when life was a bit more relaxed and family was the most important thing to all...again...thank youvto Matt, you are an awesome host and we will definitely return....so beautiful!!! Get your butts to SEA AND SAND COTTAGES PORT ARANSAS ASAP!!!!

    Can’t wait to come back to Port Aransas! The cottage was fantastic and had everything to make you feel at home.The reviews about Matt were right on, yes it does make a difference family owned versus a corporate business. The restaurants were amazing, shops had little of everything. The locals are super friendly and just can’t say enough other than next trip we’re hoping to stay 2 weeks!

  • Review 4 (2023-07-28 - Rating: 5)

    I can’t say enough about this property! I’ve stayed here multiple times and it has always been fantastic. Firstly, Matthew is a total class act! I can honestly say from experience that many properties don’t even bother to answer emails or return voice messages. This is not the case here. Matthew provides service, beyond outstanding- he’s extremely responsive and accommodating. Beyond that: it’s exceptionally clean, the pool is also exceptionally clean and such a nice amenity. One of the nicest smaller pools I’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Location A+, staff A+, cottages A+. I literally don’t have one negative thing to say about anything concerning this property. You will not be disappointed staying here. As far as we’re concerned it’s the best accommodations on island! So comfortable, was an absolute pleasure staying with you- we WILL be back! ☀️🏖️🌊 🎣Edit to include that YAS!!! The beds in all cottages we’ve stayed in (3, 6 & 7) were extremely comfortable! So, so nice to sleep well and in perfect comfort!

    Theres one really bad review on here from 6 years ago. Ive been going there yearly or more frequently for about that long. Me and my partner and our dogs. Matthew is such a gracious host. Leaves you alone unless you need something (or I imagine if you caused a problem, but never saw or heard that happening). The grounds are always clean and well trimmed, the rooms are always clean! Very! None of that fine beach sand on the floors, I dont know how they get it up! Never saw a stained towel or sheet or blanket. Furniture is not brand new, but beds are comfortable and seating and WiFi are great.Sorry we forgot to take out the trash when we left this time! (As part of leaving you on your own for the whole stay, you have to wash the dishes that you use in your own and take out your own trash to the property dumpster when you leave, small prices to pay!)We absolutely LOVE this place! Its quiet, peaceful, gracious, and independent! You can get cheaper bedding in Port Aransas, but you get what you pay for here. Quick golf cart (if you rent one on the island) ride from the beach, takes us like 4 minutes to get to the beach for sunrise every morning.

    Great place to stay! With reasonable prices for the island,it wont disappoint!

  • Review 7 (2023-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely enjoyed our stay. Matthew was helpful. It exceptional clean and had no issues I love the porch swing. The pool was a plus and not a far drive to the beach. Walking distance to the grocery store. I highly recommend this location.

  • Review 8 (2022-04-20 - Rating: 5)

    This was a great place to stay. Cottages are clean and very nicely decorated. We had five in our party, and we’re very comfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked and we were able to have fresh seafood in house. Great location, walk to all the shops in town, and just 5 blocks to the beach. They even have a pool my grandson enjoyed. Matthew made checking in a breeze. Definitely recommend, and definitely staying again.

  • Review 9 (2024-06-29 - Rating: 5)

    The rooms are beautiful and very clean and cosey, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Close to the beach and the IGA grocery store. Very satisfied... totally recommend staying at the Sea & Sand Cottages!!!

  • Review 10 (2023-07-01 - Rating: 5)

    My stay here was wonderful! I had the yellow cottage. The space in the cottage, the pool, amenities and distance from the beach is perfect. Booked my next stay already for later this summer ☀️ My family had such a relaxing weekend here and Mr.Matt is the best !

  • Review 11 (2017-06-15 - Rating: 5)

    We brought our two small dogs for a three night stay in June 2017 for our combined birthday get away. Found everything to be really nice and very clean. Cute and roomy 1950s cottages, with a private deck that we spent lots of time sitting on. Staff were very responsive and I felt like I could have asked for anything I needed, but the cottage was stocked with everything we could use for our stay. We felt very welcome and would definitely stay here again. Port A is a great way to take a break from the city. Walking distance to everything, including Shells restaurant which was spectacular. Great place to stay and great little community to visit. People were friendly everywhere. Thanks Matthew!

  • Review 12 (2021-04-03 - Rating: 5)

    Honestly, at first sight online, this place looked a little...shady. But I gave it a chance because it fit the specifics I was looking for when it was time to reserve a room. When my family and I arrived, I was surprised at how cute it actually is. We had such a great time there, I just wish we couldve stayed longer. Just a short walk/drive to the beach AND to the strip in the opposite direction. What made it better is the fact that Matthew made us feel right at home. He was extremely friendly, funny, and informative. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality! We will definitely stay there again the next time were in town.

  • Review 13 (2019-04-02 - Rating: 5)

    This place is great! The owner is awesome. They make you feel very welcome. It is dog friendly. Has a pool and the beach is not far away at all. Plenty of little stores close enough (walking distance) to take care of your needs. The cottage itself is very clean and has all the ammenities you would need (including small personal charcoal grill outside of each unit). I highly recommend giving this place a try. And did I mention how awesome the ownership is? Thank you for a great stay!

  • Review 14 (2024-06-11 - Rating: 5)

    I love this place Matthew was on point and was very awesome I really enjoyed it for my kids.. The pool was our favorite place not to deep for our kids I will definitely be back next year Thank you Matthew

  • Review 15 (2020-05-09 - Rating: 5)

    My daughter and I, as well as our Yorkie, stayed in cottage number seven. Two days after arriving back home, we are going through some serious beach withdrawal. The property was just as seen in photos, and even exceeded our expectations! Matthew was a wonderful host, and made us feel right at home. The cottage was well outfitted and had everything we could have wanted, and then some. The entire property was clean, neat and tidy, the bed was super comfy. Our time was too short for sure, and we’re eager to return!

  • Review 16 (2018-08-31 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome! My husband and I were in town to stay at our RV and the A/C went out. At 8:00pm I called and Kathy was nice enough to help us out with a place to stay at the last minute. The places are super cute and clean. It was fully stocked with linens, full size refrigerator and fully stocked kitchen. I loved the private back porch and the parking is right in front of the door. We ended up staying two nights and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for the great experience during a weekend where we felt like we just couldnt catch a break.

  • Review 17 (2021-05-09 - Rating: 5)

    Was truly our home away from home! Just blocks from the beach, restaurants, shopping & attractions. We stayed 7 nights & didnt want to leave. Matthew & staff were very attentive. Sea & Sand Cottages will definitely be our Port A vacation spot from now on! Highly recommend!

  • Review 18 (2021-07-22 - Rating: 5)

    I enjoyed my stay here at the Sea and Sand Cottages. The accomodations were excellent. Its centrally located in Port Aransas and just a few blocks from the beach.My only complaint, if you want to call it that, would be that the shower is very small. Im 6 2 and it was difficult to move around in there.Other than that everything else was great. I really like having access to a full kitchen including a microwave, coffee maker, and a full size refrigerator with an Ice maker.I would definitely stay here again.

  • Review 19 (2021-05-05 - Rating: 4)

    This little place is a gem.It has everything you need.Very clean and comfortable beds. Great water pressure and the staff/ owner were very nice and very friendly. It has a pool and Plenty of towels. They have an on-site fish cleaning station.We stayed in cottage #3The decor was minimalist beach vibe.A futon in the living room and two bedrooms with queen beds.And the back porch has a nice beachy vibe.I will be going back!

  • Review 20 (2018-06-27 - Rating: 5)

    We LOVED our stay at the Sea and Sands Cottages! Our cottage was so cute and very clean. We loved the beach feel and the back porch with the swing was the best. The kids loved it. Matthew is great. We can’t wait to come back next year for our annual Port A trip!

  • Review 21 (2022-05-13 - Rating: 5)

    I have been staying here for over 3 years. Matt is my to go place in Port Aransas. Pet friendly, clean, quaint, and very comfortable. The staff is amazing! If you want fancy Condo, knock yourself out. I am a repeat customer for life.

    We loved it! This is a terrific place to stay. Our dogs loved it too. Very clean, comfortable cottage, great a/c and Matthew was a wonderful, very helpful host. We heartily recommend Sea & Sand Cottages!

  • Review 24 (2023-02-27 - Rating: 5)

    Our niece and nephew took us here. Letty lala and Z. It was their favorite place. We plan to go again soon. Mr Matthew took us around where the locals go and eat. Mr Matthew had the place frying red snapper for us. Delicious by the way. Took us around to go deep sea fishing while the women went shopping! Mr Matthew well see you soon.!!!

  • Review 25 (2018-07-25 - Rating: 5)

    We just stayed at Sea & Sand in July and we loved the renovated cottages! They are beautiful! The staff is wonderful and very accommodating. The pool is great to enjoy after a day at the beach! We just made a reservation to go back again next month!

  • Review 26 (2019-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    The staff was great the owners were fantastic. Take my husband they are for his last visit to the beach before he passed away in November. It was on his bucket list and he loved it there. He got a tattoo at shark attack that he loved and it was affordable

  • Review 27 (2018-08-03 - Rating: 5)

    I HAVE FOUND MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME AND PLAN TO RETURN AS SOON AS I CAN. Matthew and others have done an amazing job on the cottages after the devastation and struggles forced upon them by Harvey, and I am blessed that my Mother and I had the opportunity to stay on such short notice. The cottage was perfect: clean, full kitchen, T.V., utensils, comfy beds, lovely porch, awesome pool, and more. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

  • Review 28 (2015-06-13 - Rating: 5)

    Our group of 4 stayed in Cabin 5 from May 24-30, 2015. The cottage was clean and supplied with everything we needed. The porch was great in the evenings. Matt was very friendly and extremely helpful both before and during our visit. We had a perfect visit to Port A...even the weather cooperated. Be sure to visit Iries Island Food during your visit too!

  • Review 29 (2018-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sea and Sands Cottages. Our cottage had central air, was well-cared-for, had plenty of room, and was comfortable. They are well-situated, within walking distance to grocery store, beach shops, and restaurants. We also enjoyed the pool!

  • Review 30 (2014-07-31 - Rating: 4)

    This place was like a pleasant step back in time (1950s). We had a small private two bedroom cottage and it came furnished with everything we needed for a family gathering near the beach. The location is great, one can walk to the beach, grocery store, coffee-shop, restaurants and bars. Five of us were there for four days and we plan to go again next year.

  • Review 31 (2019-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    This place was super duper great my family and I fell in love with this place as soon as we arrived. The cottage was clean and Mr Matthew made it feel like we were right at home. We’ll be back for sure. So in other words I highly recommend this place.

  • Review 32 (2024-05-18 - Rating: 5)

    We absolutely loved our stay here!! Clean accommodations, easy check in, convenient location!! 👌

  • Review 33 (2017-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    Great stay for a budget vacation and RIGHT IN TOWN!Having lived in Port A for a decade we are familiar with what is available in town. Finding something close enough to the beach to walk AND enough room for us is easy but if youre on a budget and you want to be close to all the restaurants in town this is TRULY the ONLY place to go!!We were here for a week and found it just perfect. It is a small, two bedroom cottage that reflects all the style of old Port Aransas as it developed from a fishing village with a surfing problem. Better than a beach shack but not a real home, this could accommodate our family easily. AND NOW THEY HAVE A POOL!! That is just exciting!!Remember, youre not going to the ritz... but if you want to really experience the old history of Port Aransas this place still has the look and feel of the history! (Stop by the local history museum a few blocks away to see it all!!)

  • Review 34 (2022-05-15 - Rating: 5)

    Stayed here around Easter and we really enjoyed it. Great price, location and best of all quiet. Anytime we come to Port A this will be the first place we call for a room.

    Nice clean and very friendly staff, but cottages were a bit too small. not too far from the beach and right in the middle of the town so your walking distance from everything. overall nice place to stay for the price
