"Perfect for a couple
Awesome place for my wife and I to get away for some fishing and beach time. Our pooch was happy too!"

"Second stay in the unit
Having to go and pickup 3 keys in 2024 seems antiquated. (Property Management) employees were friendly and informative. We added an extra night when they reached out about the unit being available. The unit itself needs a little TLC- most noticeable was the kitchen utensils (3 knives total!?) and the bed itself. Great location and the fenced in backyard is why we book!"

"TS202 Rental experience
The house was apx 600 sq ft inc bedroom and loads of outdoor space. Cons 1.the grass needed to be mowed making it hard to do poop patrol 2. There were ants in the kitchen/living room. 3. The a/c was not functioning fully requiring the use of portable a/c units and "hot spots" in the house. Pros - 1. Pet could join us. 2. Location close to food, beach and activities. 3. Well supplied with dishes, toiletries etc. 4. Property management was responsive and very friendly. "

"Not our best experience in Port A
Cleaning prior to our arrival was a hit and miss at best. Dishes in the cabinet were dirty lip marks on some of the glasses. We washed everything before using them won't be returning here"

We were happy to have a fenced back yard for our dogs as well as a screened in back porch. The house was very cute and comfortable for our needs."

"Peaceful Getaway
This house is so cute! The screened in porch and the yard were also favorites for us. It’s so close to the beach and private, there also was no noise in the neighborhood so it was very peaceful. "

"Birthday Vacation
Overall nice. Property just needs some basic maintenance attention. New microwave and a good sweep and mopping to the entire floor and under the furniture. "

"Review for February
We loved the location and the property overall. We have a dog, so it was a great place to have a pet, but still need to be mindful of coyotes. The screened-in porch with TV and the living room are very comfortable. A little updating for the grill and the microwave would be a great asset. It was very comfortable for a couple with a pet, and the location was close to the beach and restaurants and shops. "

"Port A 11/2023
A quick getaway for me, my wife, and our dog. Le Chateau was perfect for us with a fenced yard and all conveniences other than a dishwasher. It was clean and accommodating - also conveniently located in the older area of the town and close to our favorite restaurants."

Very secure fenced location with dog friendly flooring. (Property Management) was super nice to work with. The dogs and I enjoyed our stay. "

"Great long weekend
The house was great for a long weekend in Port A. My dogs loved the yard. The house had everything I needed. Enjoyed the screened in porch on the warmer January days. It's an easy walk to the beach.
Some of the furniture is getting pretty sad. My biggest complaint would be the mattress, it has seen waaaay better days. There are very large dips on each side. You can feel the lumps and indentations in the mattress with your hands they are so bad. One of the chairs in the screened in porch is covered in mildew as well. I'm not sure if it was the cover on the sofa that made it lumpy, I peaked under the cover and it looked to be in good shape, but the cushions felt squished. It was all comfortable enough for a long weekend. Wouldn't want to sleep in that bed too many days."

"TS202 Review
All went well. Good TV n Internet setup. We mentioned that the clock needs new battery, storm door closer needed to be replaced, microwave was rusted out. Not to be too picky, would recommend to replace shower head with a hand held so it can accommodate folks of all sizes. "

"Comfortable and charming little house
The pleasant back yard was very popular with our dog! He learned to let himself in and out through the screen door!"

"Great Place!
We loved this property! It was perfect for us.
My husband and I and our dogs. It was very clean.
The outdoor shower was great! We used it each time that we came back from the beach. Will definitely stay here again."

"(Property Management)
We were not able to stay during our time, but the property management team is absolutely the kindest people. We had two instances that made us not be able to make it and they were so accommodating and understanding. I would give them at 10/10 for their attentiveness to us and their empathy!!! We were so bummed we could not make it because this place was perfect for us and our dogs. I highly highly recommend this place to anyone heading down to Port A. We will be making the trip next summer. "

"Excellent dog friendly stay!
Between my wife and i and two dogs this was an excellent rental. We had everything we needed and had nice porches to sit out on. The dogs and I would sit out on the front porch and people watch. It rained two days and we enjoyed sitting out on the covered porch. I just loved the outdoor shower as we could let the dogs just get filthy at the beach, having fun, and we all could come back and wash the beach off everyone. Fantastic! Will definitely put this on our rent again list."

"4th of July stay
Had 2 issues with the house upon arrival and after calling the office someone was at the house within 20mins. The house is old, the floors are slanted, the outside tv is on its last leg. Just some small things that needed attention and were taken care of as soon as they could. The house is perfect for 2 people and maybe 2 small children. Overall stay was not bad at all. (Property Management) was great to work with and answer all calls and service requests very quickly. "

"Love This House!
2nd time we've stayed at this house and it is perfect. Fenced yard for dogs, washer/dryer, OUTDOOR SHOWER, super clean and close to everything with parking for 2 cars at least. We'll likely stay here every time we come to Port A."

"Cute cottage Getaway
I just wanted to share with you in case you weren't aware.
The lawn really needed to be mowed :( The stove was pretty dirty and the plates were dirty in the cupboard. The outdoor shower was awesome but kind of yuck because there were half used open bottles of shampoo and soap left. Lastly, the high top table and chairs were super dirty, we had to clean those too before we used them.
All in all though, it was a lovely stay. Those were minor things but just not what we have become accustomed to staying with you all. Everything in the past has been spot on. We will definitely continue to stay with you, as we've always been so pleased. ��

"Cozy and perfect little cottage
Such a perfect little get-away and cozy little cottage. I loved the yard and the location! The owner had thought of everything and the fact that we could bring our little corgi with us made for a perfect stay! Thank you for a great family weekend."

Adorable, pet friendly cottage. Screened in porch and yard a delight. Clean and conveniently located. We will be staying again! "

"Charming and convenient
First time guests at Le Chateau and greatly enjoyed our 9 day stay. Location in old town, but on a quiet street surrounded by great neighborhoods, easy access to everything, and 2 min to the beach by golf cart. Cottage was bright and perfect for 2 persons, as was the fenced yard and outdoor shower for our doggies. The cottage was well equipped with everything we could think of for our longer stay, (except BBQ utensils). Overall, we loved this place and our stay in Port A, and look forward to becoming one of its many repeat customers."

"Convenient & Pet Friendly
Lovely cottage styled vacation home. Comfortable and in a nice location. Walking distance to beach. The only issues we had were flying ants in our bedroom and no laundry room. The outdoor shower was handy and if there weren't so many mosquitos we would have hung out in the backyard or side porch."

"Quiet location, with a secure yard for small dogs
We enjoyed our 4-night stay at this cottage last week. We were a little concerned after viewing some recent reviews that had been posted since we booked it, but we had no problems.
The house is in a quiet neighborhood, in a good location, within easy walking distance (a half-mile) of the beach and many restaurants.
One reason we booked this cottage was for our small dogs to be safe on their off-leash excursions into the backyard, and it was perfect in that respect. The fence is secure, provides privacy, and there are no gaps that the dogs could slip through or under. I give it an A+ for dog security. The outdoor shower has a handheld shower head that makes washing the sand and salt water off the dogs a pleasure.
In terms of the key/security situation that a previous reviewer mentioned, we did not experience any issue. Two keys were provided: one for the gate where you access the backyard from the driveway, and a separate key to get into the house.
The cottage was clean. The decor is fresh and cute. The bed was comfortable. The air conditioning works well and is very quiet. Good water pressure in the shower. The TVs have Roku built in so you can use Netflix or other streaming services. The wifi was good.
I would stay at this cottage again, we enjoyed it!

"Pets Welcome
My experience began great! My wife and I arrived with our two curious mini schnauzers to this cozy cottage and felt right at home. Once we settled, we noticed the place needed a lot of work. When a rental property gives you a pamphlet on how they expect you to maintain the property and haven't done so themselves, it leaves you questioning if you're the one who does the "make ready" or does someone else? The place didn't look swept or mopped, the table cloth looked like it had never been washed and overall looked like someone had just left seconds before we arrived. There are posts about picking up your own dog's poop but there was poo all over the back yard. Just curious about what the large Clean Up Fee is for? On our third day, we decided to leave the back door open to enjoy the breeze that was coming through. Mind you, this was NOT the main gate door, just the house back door. We felt secure because the main gate was locked... so we thought. A renter had the exact same key to our rental and walked right through. My wife and I were napping and heard footsteps. I woke up frantically and followed the gentlemen outside. The man apologized and said he and his wife thought this was their rental and had the keys to open up the home. Apparently, they have converted the garage into an Air B&B and the renter was confused and assumed they would be staying in the same home. We don't understand how the renting agency could have given another renter the exact same keys. I'm just glad nothing bad happened. This could've gone wrong really quick. Definitely ruined the experience. It's extremely important to feel safe where you stay if it's not your home and we definitely didn't after that. "

"Awesome First Visit to Port A
Great little house with a wonderful screened in porch and lovely yard. Easy walk to the beach. We were fortunate to meet the owner, Doris, who was staying in the adjacent rental. She’s a great host and really nice person. We also found the rental company very easy to work with and would surely rent through them for our next visit."
Mar 05, 2021 - Amy L., Franksville, WI
"Le Chateau
It was wonderful overall. The only issue (which is what we run into with every rental in Port A) was that the property was not cleaned well at all prior to our arrival. We spent the initial 45 minutes sweeping, cleaning, etc."

"Old Town Treasure
My family has stayed at the "Le Chateau" property before. We loved it then, so we booked it again, and we're glad we did. It has become our favorite rental property in PA.
We were pleasantly surprised with some changes to the property since our last visit. When we last visited, the property had a garage that appeared to be a storage area for the property owner. That has now been converted into another rental, called "La Petite Chateau." (It's all on the same lot, separated by a privacy fence in the back yard.) My wife an I were thrilled to see this. We will likely be back soon, renting both cottages - one for us and the other our high-school aged teens. The fenced yard is perfect for our dogs, and the location is great, featuring easy access to the town and a 10 minute walk down to the beach. "

"Great place for dogs and people
We brought our dogs down for a couple of days at the beach and found Le Chateau. It fit our needs perfectly. The yard and porches were very dog secure, our beagle checked it. The outdoor shower was very useful for getting sandy feet and dogs rinsed off. There was a nice breeze so we didn't have mosquito issues but there is also a screened porch.
The house is about a two minute drive to the beach and is located in a neighborhood with little traffic so it was really quiet. We will definitely try to stay here for future trips."

"Birthday Getaway 2018
We usually stay in a beachfront condo when we visit Port A, but this time we wanted to bring our Golden Retriever, so I looked for a small, affordable home with a backyard. “Le Chateau” immediately caught my eye! The pictures were so cute, and I loved the backyard. When my daughter and I arrived we were immediately struck by how quaint and honey the hone was/is. Although it is very small and ended up not having a washing machine/dryer or dishwasher, the hone was very welcoming and convenient to everything. If you are looking for a “home away from home”, this place is like a hidden treasure. Suggest more towels, electric outlets and smaller pots/pans and eating bowls."

"Great location and allows dogs
We wanted a house near the beach that allowed our dogs and had a good fenced in yard. Perfect place and even had an outdoor shower and screened in porch and was decorated so cute. I loved the cabinets in the bathroom to put all my makeup and toiletries. Also had lots of drawers in the bedroom. "

"Cute cottage, comfortable screened in porch
We really enjoyed our stay at this little one bedroom cottage.
The screened in porch was pleasant. There is a large yard that we did take advantage of.
The location was a few blocks from both town and the beaches.
There was not a lot of room but furnishings were adequate.

"Spring Visit to Port Aransas
This property was in an excellent location and was very neat and very clean. The backyard is beautiful and enjoyed by us and especially our two dogs. As stated in other reviews, the mattress needs replacing. It was horribly uncomfortable. As was the furniture. The two chairs and the couch in the living area provide no back support and not at all comfortable. If these items were replaced, this rental would be A plus plus. "

"Our stay at Le Chateau 2018
We had a wonderful time at Le Chateau. I definitely recommend this place. It is beautifully decorated with a wonderful private backyard. The owner was great to work with. We needed heat on one of the days and we didn’t know how to turn it on. Not only did they send someone over immediately but the owner brought over a loaf of freshly baked bread hot from the oven for our trouble. So thoughtful!
It’s very sobering to see evidence of the hurricane damage and the tremendous effort expended to get their community back. Port A strong!"

"Cozy home minutes from beach
This home was perfect for our family. We especially loved the screened in patio. It was about a 5 drive to the beach and close to places to eat and the Dollar General. We look forward to coming back again."

This little cabin in Port A is a haven sroounded by the memories of a very disastrous storm. But from the comfortable bed to the cozy furniture and most importantly the perfect screened in porch with constant soft breezes, you almost forget what happened, not too long ago.. we were very happy to have found such a nice place to spend a couple of days."

"Our Weekend Getaway
We had a very good experience staying here. The decorations all over the house added a nice beach feel and made the house feel welcoming. Everything was clean, and there were plenty of amenities. The bedroom is big and the bed is extremely comfortable. The bathroom is easy to access from two different doors. We appreciated finding plenty of pots,pans, eating, and drinking utensils. The backyard is a pretty good size and the screen patio came in handy during the night time when mosquitoes are out. I would recommend this beach house to anyone. Next time we vacation here, we will definitely book this house again! "
Aug 15, 2017 - Carlos R., Arlington, TX
"Not a fan
Full disclosure: I am not a fan. Ive had nothing but wonderful experiences with a competitor, where you actually communicate with the OWNERS, and have rarely had a good experience with . Lots of misinformation, buggy booking procedure, etc.
The house itself is adorable, and clean. The bed wasn't great, tho. My husband and I both got backaches and he ended up on couch our last night. We inquired about parking before booking and told them how big our boat was. There was not an inch to spare, and on one side we couldn't even walk by.
When we hit the book button, website said not available, even while was sending confirmation emails. Husband emailed to ask and was again told unavailable. Ridiculous.
I was contacted before our trip about what to bring. One of the things they listed was coffee filters. I emailed and asked if they provided coffee. They said bring both. When we got there, they had a kuereg machine.
On our next to last day there, we fished early, then came back to nap. We were awakened by the gardener who said she was going to start sprinkler and asked us to turn it off in an hour. Also said exterminator was coming at 10 the next morning. By 11 the next morning we were tired of waiting. I called (Property Management) and left a message. No call back. Called back at 11:30, got someone and complained. This was our last full day of vacation and we had wasted our entire morning! And yes, we did not have to be there for the exterminator. But we both travel a lot for business and have had a few too many things stolen from hotel rooms.
Oh!!! I almost forgot! Listing says this property has a dishwasher. It most certainly DOES NOT.
Cute house, but get your act together and (Property Management)!

"Charming and cozy cottage so close to everything!
What a gem to find! My husband and I took our two boys down for a few days and had an incredible stay here. Starting with the nice welcome basket we enjoyed during our stay. The car ride was less than 5 minutes to the beach and to the numerous restaurants and shops PA has to offer. The outside shower, screened in porch and hammock in the private backyard were more than we could ask for after a long day of activities. We are planning to return again next month!!!"

"Perfect Little Cottage
This cottage is beautiful. The screened-in porch is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee! They had a basket of snacks waiting for us, which was a nice touch! Loved our stay. The only downside is that the beach is not walking distance - requires a quick drive!"
