We had a great time and really enjoyed this condo. It was very cute and had everything we needed. Usually staying in beach condos I’m disappointed with the showers but I was impressed with this condos master shower. The water pressure was very good! Master bed was fine. The bunk room our son slept in was fine for him but if you’re over 40 pounds you would hate it. You can feel every spring in that mattress. Kitchen was well stocked and the rest of the condo had everything we may have needed or forgotten to bring. Overall the condo was very clean but there was a lot of noticeable mold/mildew on the wall/light switch by the back door. One note for anyone wanting to stay here. It is on the first floor which made life easy loading and unloading. But it is worth mentioning the beach access is several buildings away. I didn’t really mind but my husband, (the one pulling our wagon haha) , wishes he would have known and maybe would have chosen a condo closer to the walkway. Overall loved our stay and was pretty impressed with this condo!

Very clean and comfortable. Great location with easy boardwalk access to the beach. We didn’t use the amenities but the pool and sport courts looked well-kept also.

The space was great. We had 7 people total and we had plenty of room for everyone to sleep and live comfortably. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach. It was a 5 minute drive to anywhere in town that you needed to get to. The price was cheap compared to many places I looked. The interaction with the company upon arrival, the length of the stay and then checkout was great. I will definitely look to this one again in the future for a stay.

The condo was beautiful. It was a nice walk to the beach. It was a nice treat having coffee offered at the condo. The toilet was having some problems and a bed was broken. We called the owners and they came out within the hour to fix it. That was so nice. The floors were vacumed but not mopped. Our feet were black after walking around the condo the first evening and we did not go outside. There was hair on the shower walls. A lot of the dishes that had been put away were dirty. I tried to wash most of the dishes before we left so that thw next person would not have to. I would advise to jave plastic plates and less glass for familes that have children. Also, the bedding had stains on them. Overall it was a nice stay and i will be recommending this place to friends. I would just talk to the cleaning crew to do a more thorough job.

We loved this property! This was our first visit to Port Aransas but will not be our last. I brought 4 teenage girls with me and they gave Cravin' Waves two enthusiastic thumbs up! The proximity to the ocean is great, but if you have littles or a lot of stuff you are bringing with you to the sand, I'd recommend a wagon. We were fine without one though. The beach here is beautiful, clean, clear water...a great spot! We loved playing pickle ball at the sport court, swimming in the pool, and listening to the waves on our back porch. We cooked a lot and had everything we needed in the kitchen. We appreciated the supplied toilet paper, paper towels, dishwashing tablets, and laundry soap...we were well taken care of. We were minutes away from Walgreens and other stores for any forgotten items. I appreciated how peaceful and quiet this area was. My girls are already asking if we can return to this exact spot next year. Jim was in contact with us almost daily to make sure we were doing well and if we had any needs. Check-in was a breeze as was check-out. This was probably my easiest experience with a VRBO property. Thank you for an incredible spring break!
