My family and I just returned from a fun trip to Port A! We were very happy with how spacious (2 bedrooms and a kitchen) our cottage was. It was clean and there were no sign of cockroaches (thankfully!) unlike another review I read. My fisherman husband appreciated that there was a fish-cleaning hut right on the property and with...

Spent a long weekend in Port Aransas in July and stayed at The Double Barr Cottages. Not only were the cottages so super cute and cozy, but they were only three blocks from beach! At a great price! The staff was very friendly and professional, they even let us use the pool at their sister property, The Mariner'. Thanks Shannon! More

We booked this cottage as there were very few available that were pet friendly the nights we needed. We went to see if we could check in early and the lady was very friendly and said we could. We went to our cottage and there was a horrible smell in the kitchen. Smelt of cat urine. We went back to... More

I recently stayed at Double Barr Cottages with friends for our own 'Spring Break' and had a great time. The check-in staff was pleasant and the rooms were cozy and well-maintained. Everything was clean and as specified, the kitchen was especially large and convenient. The one 'problem' (burnt out lightbulb) was quickly replaced upon request. Great outdoor area for barbeque-ing.... More

Cottage #2 has a bad infestation of the smaller German Cockroaches. All the other complaints people voice about the rundown conditions and smell could be somewhat acceptable for the price but roaches...no way. Inspect your room thoroughly before you completely check in if your going to chance it. The establishment was nice enough to let us make accommodations elsewhere without... More

Full of cockroaches, dirty, old and run down. The cottage was so dirty that there was dead cockroaches on the counters, the freezer, and the fridge. Went to use one of the cheap cups provided and a large cockroach was in it and he didn't want to leave! Only 1 small tv with no remote, no radio, no phone, no... More

We stayed at the Double Barr Cottages last July for the second year in a row. What an incredibly relaxing vacation. Port A, in and of itself, is slow-paced, lazy, and relaxing. The little 2 bedroom cottage that we stayed in at the Double Barr just made it that much more wonderful. If you want a comfortable, relaxing, clean beach... More
