Tortuga View BH405 is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom getaway with a Gulf view. The unit is on the 3rd or top floor, with no elevator access, which provides a water view and ensures that no one will be above you.

Conveniently located in town, it is in the golf cart zone and is just minutes away from Port Aransas' dining, shopping, and entertainment. You will access the condo with a keycode, so there is no need to pick up a key.
The open living room and dining room provide space for you and your family to relax after a fun day in the sun. The large flat-screen TV in the living room offers both cable and streaming capability. There is a supply of board games and puzzles so you can enjoy some family fun or be all set for a rainy day.
You’ll have a choice of a Keurig or a regular coffee maker to fix your morning fuel, and the well-equipped kitchen is the perfect spot to cook your catch of the day. The balcony provides additional space to stretch out and enjoy the view and sea breeze.

Wonderful family vacation

We had a great time. The property and condo were great. We enjoyed the pool and game room in the evenings. Beach board walk was perfect. The primary bedroom was hot at night even with AC set at 72, but living room and other room stayed cool. Bring extra trash bags.

Perfectly clean, comfortable stay. Liked being wable to walk to the beach via the boardwalk. Condo interior was updated and had everything we needed. We liked the bag to use for finding shells. Hosts had everything we needed and good instructions. You'll need $1.50 in quarters to wash a load of laundry and then another $1.50 for drying a load. I wish they had a coin machine available. Pool was great and relaxing. Beds were a little harder than I prefer but still everything was clean. Outside of the condos needs a little sprucing up with paint and such. There is no office to check-in. You’ll get a text letting you know your condo is ready (guarantee check-in between 4 and 5.) Felt very safe and would stay here again.

Wonderful Getaway!

We went with our family of four for a few days and had a great time! The boardwalk takes you right to the beach, and the pool is nice and clean when you need a break from the sand. This unit was very clean upon arrival and decorated really cute. They have books, games and plenty of kitchen items to make for a great stay!

Pelicans with a view

Overall the Tortuga View At Beachhead was great. Spacious condo, clean, fully stocked with the items you need. A great heated pool and a short walk to the beach. Every balcony has a view of the water, some restricted views. Comfortable furniture, nice decorations, added bonus of patio furniture. Opportunities for improvement, bed wasn’t comfortable (too firm), muddy parking spots with standing water, area’s for repairs around the property (maintenance was working on several things, which was great and not disruptive), beach path would be nice if entire path had a rail at least on onside- though probably not required, just that added for those that need it. Nice clean location in a great spot close to beach and area restaurants. We will be back - liked this place and ease of checking in and out, without contact of staff.

Great Last Minute Stay

It was very easy to book and the communication was excellent. Personal note on the specific room, balcony door does not lock and a piece of metal is on the wall that cut my husbands arm. Also there was a wifi router but no instructions to connect to the internet. Overall though the place was very clean and stocked nicely. Everyone had great nights sleep and plenty of room. Would stay again.

Beautiful remote location

Overall, we were very pleased. We will stay again for sure. Great pool and park. Beautiful beach. Gorgeous view on the boardwalk. We loved the location!!!!! There were a few things that disturbed us. Minor in comparison. 1. A ton of bird droppings on patio. Not appropriate for children 1,4, and 6. 2. Bathroom ceiling paint fell from the ceiling during my husbands shower. We know no one could prevent it from happening but still unsettling. 3 Aracde room charges money to play. So bring coins. Which we were not prepared for so that was sad to explain to the kid's.

Glad it was a short stay

The pictures were deceiving. We overpaid for this place for sure. It was clean, but had a strong musty, mothball smell. It was two flights of stairs up which wasn’t fun to lug things up after a long day. The back door didn’t lock. There were pigeons on this nasty board on the patio. Overall, it was fine, but we would have requested a refund had it been more than two nights.

Excellent spot to relax

This is our third stay at Beachhead and we have enjoyed every stay, we even had our wedding reception there 18 years ago. This visit we stayed in close proximity to the pool and it was just perfect. We love the view of the gulf you get while relaxing by the pool, the boardwalk to the beach is nice, the games in the game room are fun when wanting to stay out of the heat, covered parking keeps the car cool, kitchens in rooms provide able space for cooking, and so many of our favorite shops and restaurants are in walking distance. Highly recommend staying here when you visit Port Aransas

Great Unit- terrible HOA management

This rental was absolutely perfect for my family. We fit just right, my only suggestion would be curtains on the master to help with cooling in this Texas heat. However; the HOA management on the property is another story. Adrian kicked myself and my 4 young daughters out of the pool area because I wanted to ask him a pool rule question. Then at midnight the same night Adrian proceeded to try to come in my room to see how many people I had with me. I closed the door behind me-again just myself (a mom) and her 4 young daughters. I dealt with his question outside. . I have never been treated this way at any VRBO location or in life. I watched him treat another family the same way at the pool the next night. At 10:30pm a 3 & 5 year old we’re playing air hockey too loud. That family was kicked out. With this sort of management I would suggest no one stay there. I give great stars to this unit but this facility needs to regain people skills.

Good location and spacious

The driveway and internet was our largest issues with this rental. The driveway was muddy and not rocked or paved. As such we tracked mud everywhere. The other a little less annoying was the internet. There was a sign up saying do not touch electronics. Well some previous renters must have reset the router and the network name and password no longer existed. The internet was accessible but had to use the default information found on the renter to get on. Aside from those two items we had a great time, the condo was spacious and clean. Would consider again if not for the mud.

Great beach condo!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo! Very clean, comfortable and cute condo and just a quick walk to the beach. The master bedroom was spacious and the bed super comfy and huge! The pool and rec center was a nice touch too although we didn't use it. Our only issue was, after a long day of swimming and hanging on the beach, we wanted to relax and watch a movie however the tv in the living room area didn't work. We called for maintenance but the property management office was closed. We called again the next morning and they did send someone out abruptly who tinkered with the tv and remote for quite awhile and eventually fixed the issue. Unfortunately, this was a temporary fix and when we tried to watch tv at night again, the tv/remote connection was non-responsive with the same issue as the previous night. The tv in the master bedroom worked fine though. Other than the tv issue which was annoying we really did enjoy the condo and our stay!
