Beautiful two bedroom home on the boardwalk. Nicely furnished with everything you need, including cleaning supplies and spices for the kitchen. Close to the community pool
Very convenient. Close to beach, close to pool and very clean.
We had a wonderful stay with everything we needed. We loved having the washer dryer too. Made it convenient to wash and dry needed clothing. The beds were nice and roomy and the pull out bed was convenient. Would stay here again. Small quiet neighborhood.

My 15 year old daughter and her friend and I stayed for 3 nights and it was perfect! The property is adorable, clean, and very accessible. We rented a golf cart from Port Aransas and the beach is easily accessible via the boardwalk from the condo. Property management was very responsive to any questions I had. We will be staying here again on our next trip down! Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay. Nice and comfortable with all accommodations a family would need for their getaway. Quiet and well kept. Loved the short walk to the beach. Only hiccup was the few bugs we noticed but overall it wasn’t too bad. We would return as we enjoyed our time here.

Very clean property. We enjoyed cooking great kitchen set up. Teens and friends with 2 adults. Back room (king room) a little warm. And I got golf cart and came up beach and it took me a while to figure out which beach entrance (It’s marker 42). We enjoyed pool and easy access to beach. Loved early morning coffee on beach.

The check in process was very easy! All completed via email and text. The place was very clean and just as advertised. The pool was out the front door, very enjoyable! Access to the beach was via boardwalk maybe about 2-3 city blocks give or take. Very quick drive to the beach (5 minutes to waters edge) worked best for this gang. Parking at the rental was good with no problems. Beds were comfortable with nice atmosphere rooms. We didn't need anything special and did not have to contact management for any reason. GOOD, CLEAN RENTAL WITH NO PROBLEMS DURING OUR STAY. THANK YOU for a great stay!
