We loved our stay here. It was just the right distance from the beach. You can walk, for sure, but they also rent golf carts which are the best mode of transport in town! The cottages are vintage and very comfortable. They are beachy enough to let you be comfortable a bit sandy...but they have exterior showers for the first... More

Had a great time! the location was perfectly situated between the beach and the main street through town. It was a pretty easy walk to most places. My group was in cabin #7, and it was great. a little cozy, but we went into it knowing we'd have more people than space. I was looking for a place for 8... More

I had booked a room elsewhere and the reservation was goofed up by the management of that hotel. In desperation, I went to a couple of places nearby and to Laughing Horse where we'd stayed before. Candy had a room that was perfect for my needs. The last time I had stayed at Laughing Horse, Candy was not there and... More

Our second visit to the Laughing Horse and loved it. The cabins are super cute and funky. The beach is a mere 5 minute walk. Shells is right across the street. Each cabin has a little outside area for grilling and chilling. I love that they are so dog friendly.

We always feel bad when guests have a less than wonderful experience. We try to give every guest our best efforts. In fairness, we don't have washers and dryers available for the guests. The only machines we have are a commercial extractor and commercial dryer. They are not suitable for personal items and would likely ruin their clothes if used.... More

My family and I have been doing our family reunions in Port Aransas since I was a baby, thirty years now. As far back as I can remember, we have always stayed at the Laughing Horse. It is very dog friendly, they have leash holders in every room and dog treats by the front desk. They only charge you once... More

We joined a group of folks here who suggested this place. Big pluses are that the management is very friendly and you are only 2 blocks from the beach, almost to the fishing pier and right where all the beach number markers start....easy to get to. If you are not a dog person, then this is not the place for... More

We come to Port A about every 6 mths and this is our new Favorite place since last year! Love the decor and setting, close to the beach & feels safe for a girls' trip. Always clean and comfortable. check out the site map and try to get a room away from the street if you like to sit outside.... More

Everyone is so friendly and my 2 large dogs always get a warm welcome when we arrive. The kitchy cottages are adorable, clean, and comfortable and have everything I could possibly need for a relaxing stay. Convenient dog walking area alongside the cottages is great, too. Just a couple of blocks from the beach...I couldn't ask for more. This was... More

We stayed at the Laughing Horse Lodge with our 2 Saint Bernards and it was wonderful! There was plenty of green space for them outdoors and the indoors was very comfortable for all of us and our family. The only thing I would suggest is to KNOW your dates prior to making a reservation as they charge $35 for each... More
