Quick weekend getaway

A friend and I came to Port A for a short trip and enjoyed our stay. The condo was spacious for the two of us and the beds were comfy. The location is unbeatable with the beach just a short walk away.

Fun and Relaxing

We had a great stay in Port Aransas! We came in the off season, so crowding was not an issue! The condo was perfect size for two couples. It was clean and had everything we needed. We had zero issues and everyone on the property was very kind. We were able to walk to many locations!

Beachside Getaway

The condo was perfect for the 4 of us. We like to wake-up and have a leisurely breakfast while planning our day. The bedroooms were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. It would have been nice if it had a blender for making drinks but we got by just fine without it. There were books and plenty of games provided. We don't watch TV but there were 3 available if that's what you like. The beach was indeed about a 4 minute walk on down a boardwalk. Ton shroysters.

Friends retirement celebration

The property was nicely located and well appointed. The power was out when we arrived and again overnight ( due to ice storm, no fault to owner). The owner communicated well during that time. I would recommend this place.

Excellent rental experience

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was very comfortable and clean. It was equipped with a lot of games and movies and a well-enough equipped kitchen to meet our needs. Each room had multiple tower fans along with very good AC to help us keep cool during the hot days. The balcony was relaxing and gave us a peek of the ocean and overlooked the enormous pool which had great live music on the Saturday night that we were there. The unit isn’t exactly oceanfront, but close—the beach is a short walk. The only negative was that several inches of sand from the dunes had blown onto a section of the boardwalk, making what should be an easy walk to the beach, especially with a wagon, a little more difficult. This can’t be controlled by the owner, but it should be addressed by the condo complex. Sunrise walks on the beach were stunning!

Our July stay

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this condo. The outdoor grills and picnic areas are a nice touch. We didn't get a chance to play pickleball because of the rain. Please note that there is only a coin-operated laundry room - there is not a set up in the condo. The laundry room is located right across the parking lot from the condo. No elevators. Only stairs to the 2nd floor condo - just something to keep in mind. It's a good idea to bring your own beach chairs and umbrella as noted. There are a few rental places. There is ONE at entrance 0 and 6. It's best to book ahead if you don't plan to bring your own beach chairs and umbrellas. The condo area is quiet. The condo itself is really nice and love the patio area. The kitchen is well-equipped. The rooms and bathrooms are nicely decorated and provide a lot of bath towels and toilet paper. Thank you!
