Great place to stay

Date of Stay: 05/04/12 Review Submitted: 05/07/12

Really a nice space with lots of room and privacy. Great views of the pool and ocean. We rented a golf cart and were plenty close to town for travel to restaurants, etc. and you are right on an access road to the beach so it was easy to pack a car or cart for your outing. We were only dealing with breakfast there in the condo and the appliances were a bit outdated, but we managed. It was clean and fit us and a couple younger ones perfectly. I would definitely come back

Owner response:Those are the very things that sold us on the condo- proximity to restaurants and shopping, plus the beach views are awesome! Thanks for being our guest.

Overall we had a great stay! PROS: The condo was very clean and had a comfortable feel. We slept great on the comfortable beds. We had to arrive very late and the check-in process was simple. Both of the pools were well taken care of and the hot tub was actually hot! It is an easy walk to the beach on the boardwalk and it has shower stations to clean off before going back to the room. The price was also better than most other options we looked at that weren't even on the beach. It is only a couple minutes from several good resturants. CONS: The only con was the dated tube television, but we really didn't watch it much anyway. Thanks for the great stay, we would definately do it again!

Owner response:We're very happy to have had you as our guest and appreciate your taking time to post a great review. We hope to add you to our return guest list as well. And we have just updated 2 older TV's!!

Our first trip to Texas and it was wonderful. We did not know what to expect, but it was everything we had hoped for and more. We had 3 - 17 year old boys with us and they had a great time. The location was wonderful and there was so much to do. The condo was perfect, we could see the ocean from the balcony and the golf course out the front. We weren't sure it would be worth the 14 hour drive, but we will be back. Thanks Lesha for being so informative and putting up with all my questions!!!!

We really enjoyed the condo with our two children ages 2 and 6. They especially enjoyed the two pools and proximity to the ocean. The view was amazing and the condo was very clean and suited all Of our needs. We would, and hope to stay there again.

Owner response:Thank you and please do visit us again!

Great place to decompress.

We generally go to Port Aransas every year.This time were fortunate to come across Bill & Lesha's condo at the Aransas Princess. The owners are great and patient with my last minute call for directions and made us feel welcome. The property is beautifully maintained with two pools, one great to swim laps. We ate on the balcony overlooking the gulf. The unit is large and designed better than most others where we've stayed - we love listening to the waves from the bedroom. Furnishings were tasteful and comfortable. We highly recommend this rental.

Our new found home away from home.

Guest: Ed & Barb
Date of Stay: 12/31/10 Review Submitted: 04/05/11

This was our first year staying for 3 months at the Aransas Princess. We found our condo in great shape, decorated with a warm welcoming atmosphere. We enjoyed the views from the balcony and the walkway - sunrises in the morning, sunsets in the evening, watching the golfers on the new Newport Dunes golf course and walking the great beaches everyday. Life doesn't get any better than this. The staff at the Princess was welcoming and always there to help and answer questions. We look forward to returning next year to our new found home away from home.

Annual Family Trip to Port A

Guest: Family Fun (United States)
Date of Stay: 06/24/10 Review Submitted: 07/16/10

We loved our experience in this condo. The view was wonderful as were the two pools and the easy access to the beach. The pull-out-bed worked like we had a third bedroom which my kids enjoyed. My parents and my husband and I enjoyed the comfortable King sized beds in the two bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals, just like home. I also enjoyed having the washer and dryer for us to use.. Lesha was so accommodating and professional when we called to make reservations. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us. We will come again!

Early Summer Getaway

Guest: Tera (Fort Worth)
Date of Stay: 06/06/10 Review Submitted: 07/18/10

We were very pleased with every aspect of the accommodations on our recent visit. There were no surprises as everything was just as represented by the owner and online pictures. The condo was the perfect size for my husband, teenage son and his friend; we enjoyed the convenience of the beach and the beautiful view from our balcony. The condo tower property, the Aransas Princess, is well maintained which definitely enhanced our experience. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking all our meals, but we enjoyed eating dinner out most nights; the seafood at local restaurants was outstanding. I would highly recommend this property to small families of all ages.

We had a wonderful time! You have a lovely condo and the resort was great. We loved our ocean view. The kids loved the pool - we laughed at our 7-yr-old who would just slip into the hot tub with the spring breakers during their cocktail hour! We've stayed at probably 5 or 6 different resorts over the years and this was definitely our favorite. As soon as I find out when spring break is next year I'll probably be contacting you to see if we can stay again. Thank you!

This property is exactly as presented on the website, which is what you would like to see as a prospective internet renter. The owners are a breeze to deal with as well. The grounds on the property are very well maintained, and we liked it so much, we visited again.

Owner response:Knowing that my guests are comfortable and pleased with the transaction is the biggest compliment I can get. Every repeat visit or referrals from guests is my reward. Thank you!

My parents used to bring me to Port Aransas 30-some years ago. Now I brought them. They just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. We had a great time and really enjoyed the accomodations. We hope to come back again soon.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful well appointed condo on the beach!! This has truly been a wonderful family vacation with my 2 grown children, daughter-in-law and 3 grandchildren. We have built sand castles, enjoyed the sunsets and even had "themed" dinners in the condo. Your kitchen and entire household are very well stocked. The only drawback was that the 19 month old was not allowed in the pool. Thanks for everything.

Here to celebrate 2 April birthdays in our family! Great condo and beautiful beach! My husband's favorite was fishing on the beach. My son's favorite- playing in the waves. Love the private beach access. Thanks for a relaxing stay!
