The condo was well appointed and charming, and the beach access was great. When the battery died in the kids' smoke alarm (always happens at midnight) Dale came right after our text in the morning to replace it. Everything we could want was included, it was cute, updated and roomy, and we could walk to the beach and take a short drive to restaurants . Recommended! ##### dawn d.

Met us despite our late arrival. The unit was exactly as advertised and very clean and neat. Not that easy of a task with all of the sand. Location is fantastic, right near beach marker 11. Drive your car and park right on the beach to transport all of the beach equipment, then walk back and forth between the unit with out lugging everything. Only $12 for season pass to park on beach. Our kids loved the free wifi! ##### Michael O.

We had a wonderful stay. It was so nice to be able to walk to the beach and go back for the little’s naps when needed! We utilized the pool several times as well as the playground! We also cooked hamburgers outside using the charcoal grill near the pool. Our unit was comfortable, and very nicely decorated! The beds and linens were all clean and comfortable and we had plenty of towels! The only disappointment we experienced was the property laundry facilities. One might think that for a few days we could go without, but with a toddler and a baby, we found it necessary to wash some bed linens the second day we were there. $2.50 to wash and $2.50 to dry (in quarters). The machines were old, sandy, and the space small, hot and unkempt. An update to your existing facilities would be much anppreciated! After all, the grounds, the pool, the units all seemed to be well taken care of! Overall, we were so happy with the unit itself, and its location! We love Port Aransas! ##### Teri G.

We enjoyed the whole experience, being able to walk to the beach as well as driving the golf cart there. The pools were great, one of them was 8 feet deep! Room was nice, kitchen well equipped and updated. ##### Janet B.

The walkway to the beach is amazing and is only about 130 yards to the beach. The only thing that was wrong with the rooms were that the remotes for the fans in the rooms did not all have good batteries in them. Other than that it was a great stay and can’t wait to come back!! ##### Charley D.

This is our first time staying here, and we liked it... it's definitely on the "approved" list for future stays! ##### scott p.

We had one issue when a breaker tripped late one night. Could not find breaker box. Called management company and they sent someone over. They also did not know where breaker box was. Took about 30 minutes to find. ##### Scott B.

I loved this place the first time I stayed and I go back every time. The convenience from town t the beach access is second to none and the amenities in the condos have never left me without essential needs for my stay. This stay was no different! We had everything we needed and the stay was exceptional! I will book this condo again for all of my future trips ! ##### Adam J.
