After-Hours Contact

If you need to contact us after business hours for emergencies—typically AC, plumbing, lockouts, or electrical issues—call 361-749-7206, press 9, and leave a detailed voice message with your phone number. Someone will return your call as soon as possible.

Non-essential issues such as wifi and TV problems are not considered emergencies and will be handled the following day. All other voicemails will also be answered the following day. We monitor text messages until 9 p.m. on weekdays and 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings.

For loud neighbors after the 10 p.m. quiet time, please call the Port Aransas Police Department at 361-749-6241.

Check-In Procedures

  • Damage and Issues: Please report any issues as you notice them. We'll investigate accidental damage internally to determine if and how much any deduction or repair cost will be. Unreported damage will be billed to your credit card.
  • Refrigerator: Do not change the refrigerator setting. When you place warm items in the refrigerator, it can take several hours before they become cold. Turning the setting down can cause the unit to freeze up and does not make it cool any faster.
  • Air Conditioning: Keep outside doors closed at all times. Leaving a door open, even briefly, can make the air uncomfortable and takes longer to cool humid air. Do not set the A/C below your desired temperature—the compressor will run until the desired temperature is reached, and lowering the setting does not cool any faster.
  • Towels: Extra towels are typically stored under the bathroom sink. Two towels per maximum occupancy of the property should be available for your use.
  • Grills: Most properties have either a propane or charcoal grill. If the propane bottle needs refilling, we typically have a full bottle available at the office during normal business hours. After hours, you can refill the bottle and bring us the receipt for reimbursement. For charcoal grills, you will need to provide the charcoal.
  • Pools: If your property has a private or community pool, please abide by the posted pool rules. No glass or pets are allowed in the pool area.
  • Sleeper Sofa Linens: Linens and pillows for the sleeper sofa are usually placed in a closet near the sofa.
  • Parking: Park only in your dedicated parking spot or spots. Locations with dedicated parking include Fortuna Bay Condos in Padre, Blue Heron Condos, BeachSide Townhomes, SeaMist Condos, Meridian Condos, Costa Del Ray, and GulfSide Townhomes. Your vehicle can be towed if not parked in the proper space.
  • Wifi/Internet: If your wifi network is not visible or not working, try unplugging the router/modem from the wall, then plug it back in and wait until the online light comes back on before trying again. Never push the reset button, as this can cause a delay of several days in getting the internet working again.
