Comfortable and clean accommodations. Each bedroom has a double bed and a twin bed. Online description says something else. Loved that live music on Saturday evening was right outside of the patio by the pool!

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review — it truly made our day! Knowing our accommodations felt comfortable and clean means the world to us, because that's exactly the welcome we hope every guest feels the moment they arrive.
We also want to thank you for pointing out the bed description. You were absolutely right, and we've already corrected it to reflect that each bedroom has a double bed and a twin bed. Feedback like yours helps us stay honest and reliable, so future guests know exactly what to expect. We're grateful you took the time to let us know.
And how wonderful that you caught the live music on Saturday evening right by the pool! There's something magical about relaxing on the patio while the music drifts through the night air — those are the little moments that turn a good stay into an unforgettable one.
Thank you again for your kindness and your honesty. It would be our absolute delight to welcome you back anytime — your next getaway is always waiting!

We really enjoyed our stay, this condo is very nice and clean. Love that the porch area faces the pool, made easy access. The delivery of the extra beach chairs and corn hole game was a bonus. When we make our way back to Port Aransas in the near future, I hope this condo will be available

We loved our stay at this property. Our unit was clean, well equipped and spacious enough for the six of us. Property was quiet and the staff was friendly. We loved the nautical decor and the pool was right by our patio. There was a band playing at the pool on the Saturday night that we were there and we enjoyed relaxing to the music from our patio. The grounds were very clean, too. Check in and check out were quick & easy. Parking was easy and right by our unit. Golf cart parking was convenient to our unit as well.

We have always stayed at this resort in different condos. As for this room , there is very little water pressure especially in the kitchen sink. Really needs to be addressed. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. Room was clean and AC worked great.

I miss the days when you actually talked face to face with someone when you checked in and paid the balance at that time. Sending an email to sign the contract on the day (traveling) we checked in could be improved. Been staying her for over 40 years and don't use a "smart phone."

It was a great place we will be back, however security gave our guest a hard time. Even thou they mentioned our name and said who they were visiting, they still continued to harass our company. They were just visiting for the day. My daughter was in unit 45 when she arrived there was no security out there. So what is the purpose? She also had company Saturday about 430 pm. Again Security made a big issue of it. Are they there only during a certain time so they harass people when they are there?

Great Place!

My daughter and I visiting in October 2020 for a quick beach getaway. Our unit (#154) was nice. The unit was clean and the living room furniture was comfortable. The kitchen was stocked fairly well and I think they would have given me anything I needed if it was not in the unit. They did choose the cheapest plates, silverware, appliances. But it was all clean and plenty of space to make a meal. The beach is a 5 min walk within the condo area - just past the pool and down a long walkway. The beach is combed, sandy and so soft. Loved the waves, sounds and smells of the ocean. The condo even provided a beach chair in the unit. We had to bring our own towels (they told me ahead of time). One negative thing was the bed - it was super soft and meh back was really hurting after 3 nights. Each bedroom had their own bathroom and TV, plus a TV in the living room (with cable). Overall we had a great time.

Manager's Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad you enjoyed you stay at this condo and were able to stroll to the beach by way of the boardwalk. WE will pass along your suggestions to the owner. We appreciate your business and look forward to having you back again soon.
