We've rented from Coastal Ed's for many years in the past but after this last visit (July 2023), I think we will take our business elsewhere. When I first called to make the reservation, it seemed as though I was being a bother by even calling. The 2, 6 seater carts we picked up - one of them was quite literally falling apart and we were told by the employee that was their "scrappy" cart and we could bring it back if we weren't satisfied. After realizing the parking break didn't work, we switched it out for another cart that also had a parking break that didn't work. The other cart was unreasonably slow and after 4 days in to the trip, the drive belt fell off while we were driving down Alister. They did get a mechanic out to fix it within a few minutes - but after the belt was replaced, the cart was much better. All in all it seems these carts are starting to show their age and for what we pay for them, it seems like you'd get something in a little better shape (although I do understand these carts are used a TON during the summer).

I almost bypassed Coastal Ed's because of a person's one-star review from 2021. However, of all the places I called, Coastal Ed's was by far the most professional. The comment in 2021 review saying, "...way over priced..." is clearly incorrect as they were actually very, VERY competitive on their prices; so that information in the review is wrong already. I have to assume the rest of their review is also subpar to honesty. (I also spotted a other one star review that was obviously for another cart rental place, so be careful when reading reviews--you really have to CSI the words!I pulled the trigger on Coastal Ed's because she was incredibly nice on the phone and very attentive to our needs (if we arrive late). Most of their reviews are 5 stars, and they are rank in the top 10 of cart rentals.I'll update this review after we've had our experience with Coastal Ed's once we are actually ON the trip next month. I feel it's going to go without a problem. Thank you to the woman who helped me on the phone; because, it was ultimately the deciding factor to make our reservations online. If they are as good as they represent themselves online/phone (and my gut says they are!) this 5 star review will stand. God bless!Jen/Matt

I reserved and paid for a cart with bluetooth and color changing lights on the bottom and when I got there to pick up my cart they were out of those carts. I was given a regular cart and was told I didn't have to return it with a full gas tank which did not amount to the difference i was charged for the cart.

I’ve been renting golf carts from port A for over 15 years and this one is the best by far!! I found them due to the great reviews and they did not disappoint!! The golf cart was in great shape and seemed new compared to the last cart I had to carry around a giant rock to use as my break behind the back wheel! Lol first time using this company and I will never use another! I was greeted with a friendly smile, very fast check in with paperwork and a sweet puppy named Remy! I was walked to the golf cart and was a mix up with a 4 seater rather than. 6 seater so she ran in and grabbed another set of keys and sent me on my way! So fast. We had Bluetooth speakers, drink holders that lit up, blinkers and a break that worked! Also a breeze when dropping it off! Just so easy and nice!!

Fair pricing and the cart was delivered in a timely manner. One star review because of the defects on the cart and poor customer service. The rear view mirror fell off while I was driving and landed on my foot, shattering and slicing one toe and putting a minor cut on another. The brakes were terrible, limiting the driving to the men who were strong enough to press the break pedal down on the steep boardwalks. I called the owner and told her about my toe. I wasn’t going to ask for compensation for my sliced toe or the terrible breaks, but if I owned the business, I most definitely would have been apologetic and tried to make it right with my customer. She blamed it on EZGO and had no intent of taking any responsibility. I got a very careless “sorry bout your toe” at the end of the conversation. And then she informed me there would be an added charge for not filling up the gas tank (would have been a perfect time to tell me to not worry about the gas charge in exchange for her company’s cart slicing my toe open). I gave her every chance in the world to make it right without asking for it, but she didn’t. I cant speak for other cart rental company owners, but I would definitely tell you to not use Coastal Ed’s, solely based on the lack of care and “bad business” directed towards their customers.

These people are great and I would highly recommend using them for your cart needs. When I return I will use them again. When my pick up time conflicted with another activity they arranged for another and they were very responsive and helful to all questions we had. They went out of their way to make our experience perfect. Thanks Eds's and Jenn!!!

Absolutely the best place in Port A to rent a golf cart, hands down! Excellent service, amazing carts and such an easy process from rental, to pick up, to return. Coastal Ed’s is great and I HIGHLY recommend them!! 5+++ stars! I will definitely rent from them again the next time I come to Port A. Thank you for helping us to make some great family memories! ❤️

Coastal Ed’s is the place to rent a golf cart in Port Aransas! We always have a great time cruising around the city and the beach. The service is amazing as usual! We never have issues with booking or the cart itself. The only place we go for our golf cart needs. ❤️

Golf carts are always reliable & run very well. Owners of Coastal Ed’s are very accommodating & respond immediately if needed.

We booked months in advance and paid. We had to wait for a cart ( understandable) We got the cart only to find that it was not a great one!! It went slower than other carts on the road and the music didn't work at all!! Bummer! The company offered to look at the Bluetooth on the cart but really couldn't give us a time slot to come in as they were busy!! Bummer for us b/c we did not want to wait around for a time to get their cart in as we had other plans. So no fun music for 4 days! Oh well live and learn right!!!
