Great condo and amenities
4.8
We spent several days here in mid-May with our grown children and 2 young grandchildren. 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!

This condo was the perfect place for our family to stay! Most cozy beds, amazing kitchen, great shower pressure, great living room space!! And the perfect location right next to the walkway to the beach, right next to the tennis and pickleball courts and pool! We can’t wait to find an excuse to come down to Port Aransas just to come stay there again!

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.
4.8
This property is very spacious and has a very nice interior. 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!!

We have stayed in Port A for a long weekend with the kids and grandkids every summer for a while now (minus Covid interruptions). This is our first time staying here, and we liked it... it's definitely on the "approved" list for future stays!

Great property. 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.

We enjoy the proximity to everything port a has to offer. Especially walking to and from the beach.

I have been travelling to Port Aransas for the past 20 years every summer and My go-to for a condo rental has always been Island Retreat II. 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 !

I came with my family of 5 plus my mother in law. The location was just perfect. We grilled one night. The grill was right across the parking lot. There is also a playground, tennis court, and pool all in the same area. My oldest is a tennis player so she loved that. The pictures showing the walk to the beach made it look far away but when I was there is was much less then I was prepared for. The beds were very comfortable. It was clean and had everything we could need. Really I can’t say enough good things about this place. I highly recommend it and would like to come back soon. The only issue we had is that we couldn’t get the TV in the living room to connect to anything. No big deal we just all piled into the master and watched a movie. Great memories were made!
