Great townhouse near beach
My family had a great time staying at this condo. It was really close to the beach. The condo was clean and decorated nicely. It's a tri level condo. I thought the layout of the condo was perfect; master bedroom on first floor; common areas on the second floor; and additional bedrooms on the third floor. We have a teenager so I liked the distance between our bedrooms. The rule book and local suggestions were really helpful.

Great stay!
We had a great time at this place. The host was always available for any inquiry. We found out we were a bit out of shape as it is a three story house. Other than that the house was great.

Great time!
We had a great time! The property was nice, communication was great, not far from the beach. We used the golf cart rental company that was recommended from the property. They were amazing. The kids loved the golf carts rides to and from the beach and just cruising in the evenings.

Interesting experience
We had a problem when we arrived with the house, but the host was very apologetic and did make thing right. The remainder of our stay was uneventful. The use of the BBQ is workable but not comfortably. The parking is tight. We would have used the garage but it was cluttered. Overall the house is nice and would be great for kids. The reason I gave a 3 on the rating is I don't like surprises when I'm on vacation and I don't like having to clean up after someone else to use something.

Very enjoyable, stress free
Family of 6 had a very enjoyable time with 1st time stay in Port Aransas. Great experience with easy rental process and access to condo, communication with property manager who was very prompt, home was FULLY equipped with anything you may need, location had easy access to town for store, restaurants, and quick beach access. We rented a golf cart, which we used for transportation, it was fun!
MAKE SURE you follow parking/vehicle recommendations because parking is tight.

1/2 mile drive/walk from the beach
Everything in this place was better than described. Having the little things such as toilet paper, paper towels, spices, plenty of towels for your guests, and all the extra beach amenities (body boards, extra beach chairs, kites, and sand toys) made the stay away from home that much easier. The proximity to the beach made this rental even better than expected. We were able to load our truck and be at the beach in less than five minutes. My kid and I were able to walk down to Jackfish to get a snow cone every night with ease so that was a bonus. The only real “issue” with this stay was the parking but only because my husband drives a diesel truck. If you drive a small vehicle then you probably will not run into the same issues we did trying to back up a large diesel truck into a small space with other cars and golf carts in the other apartments. We would absolutely recommend this place to our friends and we look forward to staying here again the next time we come down to Port A.
