Steps to the Sand! Beachfront Condo in the Heart of Port A

Wake up to the Gulf breeze and start your morning with coffee on the balcony while watching ships pass through the nearby channel. Our cheerful, beachfront 2-bedroom condo at Coral Cay puts you just steps from the sand, with beautiful Gulf views right from the living room balcony.

Grab your beach bag and follow the private boardwalk across the beautifully landscaped 7-acre property straight to one of the best beaches in South Texas. After a day in the sun, take a dip in one of two swimming pools, play a game of pickleball, or enjoy dinner outdoors at one of the pergola-covered BBQ areas.

Our favorite place may be the balcony. Settle into the tall beach chairs, feel the ocean breeze, listen to the waves, and simply enjoy being in Port A.

Inside, you’ll find a comfortable, fully furnished retreat designed for relaxing after a day at the beach. The living room features an oversized sofa, Smart TV, cable, and Wi-Fi. The fully equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a microwave, coffee maker, cookware, dishes, glasses, and utensils—everything you need for an easy breakfast or a freshly cooked dinner.

Both bedrooms feature comfortable pillow-top Denver Mattresses for a restful night’s sleep. The primary bedroom overlooks the main pool, while the guest bedroom has views of the second pool and grilling area. The condo also has its own private stairway, adding a little extra privacy and convenience.

When you’re ready to explore, some of Port Aransas’ favorite restaurants, bars, shops, ice cream spots, and conveniences are just a walk or short golf-cart ride away. Paradise Pond, Charlie’s Pasture, the marina, fishing excursions, and pirate boat tours are also nearby.

Whether you’re planning a family beach vacation, a couples getaway, or a trip with friends, our condo is a place to slow down, kick off your flip-flops, and enjoy island life.

We provide your bed and bath linens—just pack your beach towels, sunscreen, and beach toys. Your Port A getaway is waiting!
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a dining table.

From check in to check out this property was amazing. You can literally see the beach access walk from the back patio. You’re also steps away from both pools that are offered on the property. Niki was an amazing host and she was always available to answer any questions that I ever had. it’s also conveniently located in the Hartt of Port a and is super close to anything you would wanna do in town. I would for sure stay here again with my family and actually plan on doing so!

This condo is a wonderful place to stay on the beach! It is clean, in a great location and has a nice view. We loved hearing the water from the back deck and seeing all of the birds. It was very convenient to walk over the boardwalk to the beach. The host was very communicative and gave us great restaurant/shopping recommendations. We look forward to visiting again!

Quick beach weekend

The location was perfect with easy access to the beach. The bunk bed was a huge hit with my daughter and it was great that it was a twin on top and full size on the bottom. It was also a great shower after having days at the beach! Everything was comfortable and everything we needed was there.

Great little condo!!

I would have given 5 stars across the board the condo had a horible fish smell the first 2 days we were there. We had to leave the doors open to air it out and get some airfreashiner. Other then that it was a beautifully decorated place with easy access to the beach and just minutes away from everything!!!

Here’s a polished version of your review that keeps your experience and observations while improving the flow:We absolutely loved our stay here! It was only about a 2-minute walk across a small wooden bridge to the beach, which made getting there incredibly easy. We loaded our wagon with our beach tent, chairs, and gear and walked right over. My wife and I have three boys (ages 5–8), so we had plenty of help carrying everything.The A/C worked great, and the condo was very clean, organized, and comfortable. If you plan on bringing groceries, just know there isn’t much dedicated pantry space, so we kept most of our dry goods on the kitchen countertop.The only minor issue we noticed was that the front and patio door handles were pretty rusty from the coastal humidity, so they took a little extra effort to open and close. There was also a light chemical smell throughout the condo. There are community washers and dryers located near the front entrance by the pool. They require quarters to operate (1.25 per load), so it’s worth bringing some with you.Overall, we had an amazing time and would absolutely stay here again. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place close to the beach!

The condo was just as described in the listing but BETTER. It was so comfortable, clean and convenient. A lovely ocean view from the balcony. The condo has it's own set of stairs, which lead only to this condo, and a water facet at the bottom of the stairs to rinse off yourself or beach gear which is so convenient. Another convenience is the sidewalk leads to the boardwalk leading you right to the beach. For reference, beach access leads you to beach marker 5. We hope to rent this condo again in the future. This was a great condo for a quick getaway after surgery. So it brought some great healing spiritually, mentally and physically.

Wonderful Gulf Views

This condo was more than perfect for our stay in Port Aransas! Very clean, air conditioner worked amazing, comfortable beds and had everything we needed to cook with!! Let me tell you the views of the gulf from the living room huge window was unbelievable! We just sat and watched the ships come in and out of the horizon, so neat!! We enjoyed walking to the beach just steps away from the condo, morning and evening walks on the beach was our favorite. We enjoyed the clean pool right outside our door. We loved this place and the location was perfect, walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops, parking right outside the condo and it was so peaceful and quiet. We will definitely stay her next time!!

Fantastic Condo in Port A

From the moment the owner contacted me prior to check-in, I knew this was going to be a great stay with excellent communication. We came to the area for a family function and wanted to make a vacation of it. My two nieces joined us and we had a fantastic vacation in Port A. Don't let the older exterior of the building fool you this condo is very nice inside with beautiful decor. My 5yo niece told me that I picked a "fancy" place for us to stay. You will also find everything you need in the kitchen if you choose to cook. My son and 2 nieces quite enjoyed the bunk beds too. All the beds were very comfy. The location is great with a short walk to the beach and the boardwalk has no steps, so it is easily traversed with a wagon. We thoroughly enjoyed the pools, beach and local attractions. Next time we are town we will definitely be booking this condo again.

Exceeded expectations

Nikki’s beach retreat was just what we needed! It was completely perfect from start to finish. The decor is extraordinary. Everything is very well thought of. None of us wanted to leave. We will definitely be back. I have already sent the link to all of my friends and family. The beds were amazing! The master bedroom bed even had a remote to elevate the head or feet or vibrate! It was an awesome surprise! The couch was huge and perfect for our family to stretch out. Everything you need in the kitchen. The view of the dunes and the ocean is awesome! Look no further!

Highly recommended

Nikki from the start was very patient and answered any questions I had without hesitation. Gave great recommendations which we did go to and enjoyed. The condo we stayed at Coral Cay Condominiums #228 was a PERFECT walking distances to the beach. We had everything we needed. Everything was decorated perfect and the view was peaceful. It is very quite, you cannot hear any neighbors or outdoor noises. The girls enjoyed the bunk bed (minus the shaking and "scary" vent by top bunk. Only thing I can think of that was needed was a iron/iron board, toaster, a couple more lights for the room areas and a vaccum. Other than that EVERYTHING was perfect. Would stay here again! Thank you Nikki!
