This was the perfect place for our quick getaway. Close to the beach, golf carts readily available and the beach gear option was SO cool! We loved the location and how clean it was. Checking in was easy and so was checking out!! No complex cleaning instructions involved and they were pre-stocked with everything we needed.

Great weekend getaway

Great apt nicely decorated and clean! The outside patio area was pretty dirty but didn't bother us much and didn't spend much time there.. Great location and easy access to the beach, especially if you can find a golf cart.

Great little condo

Our family of four enjoyed our weekend stay. The condo was as described and had everything that we needed. It is right next door to Cinnamon Shores which was convenient for our needs. The boardwalk to the beach accommodated golf carts which was essential. The condo have a very comfortable bed and the kitchen was well stocked. The complimentary beach umbrella and chairs were a nice perk.

Cute and clean… perfect for two

Clean and renovated. Small, but worked perfect for the two of us. Location was away from things and this made it quiet which we liked. Management company responsive and communicated well. Only issue we had was on the last night… noisy family in condo above (could hear kids running around all evening).

Great beach trip in Port A.

Great condo for a couple. Port Aransas beaches are so beautiful! We spent lots of time on the beach and the water was beautiful & green and the sand was thick & white. At the condo we cooked breakfast there every day. The kitchen was well stocked and had good appliances. My suggestion would be to get rid of the Kuerig coffee maker that does not work and only keep the working Kuerig in the condo. I would also suggest clearing out some of the dishes and kitchen stuff; the cabinets were packed with too many dishes (in my opinion). Overall; a great stay at a wonderful condo. We will definitely book this condo again!
