About Natalie and Patrick Maxwell
We live in Austin, Texas and found ourselves escaping to Port Aransas every chance we got. Since we enjoy it so much, it made sense to purchase our own piece of Paradise! Once we saw this unit, the view sold us and the pictures don't really do it justice. We are so pleased to be able to share our paradise with you and know you will enjoy it as much as we do!
Natalie and Patrick Maxwell purchased this studio in 2013
Why Natalie and Patrick Maxwell chose Gulf Coast
We looked all over the island to find a condo that fit our needs. The view, private balcony and immaculate grounds primarily attracted us to this unit/complex. While looking at other complex surroundings, it was clear the cleanliness and proximity to the beach is by far superior at Island Retreat, in comparison to other complexes on the Island. I as well like the close proximity to town, but the feel of complete privacy and quiet in the unit. Once we saw this, it was an easy and immediate decision to purchase!
What makes this studio unique
Again, the view, private balcony and complex grounds make this property unique. Having a full kitchen at your disposal appealed to me as well. I love to cook and it also saves money on dining out!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Daughter and her family loved the rental and had a super time while in Port Aransas!! it was their first time to Port A and they just raved over the island community and particularly the beachfront accommodations. They said they were definitely pleased with the accommodations, the cleanliness and loved the fact they could walk to the beach!! Thank you for providing such a nice place for them as I am sure they will be returning to Port A in the future. Thank you again and have a great week!!

Reviews
VRBO Bear stayed here
Jul 21, 2017From the moment they arrived, the Bear and his family knew that Island Retreat #132 was the hidden jewel of Port Aransas. The property features truly magnificent 180 degree views of the ocean, a spectacular sunrise, and a shaded balcony in the evening. Inside the property, you will find two comfortable queen beds that are positioned “just right” to either watch TV or to carelessly gaze at the ocean. The beautiful kitchen has granite countertops and new stainless-steel appliances. It is fully stocked with everything you could imagine that even a novice sous chef can produce a five-star meal. Tile floors extend throughout the property and the bathroom shower features elegant tile accents. Outside, we were able to use our free parking permit and consistently landed a spot right in front of the property. With the beach only a five-minute walk away, it made it easy to go back to the property for forgotten items or to make a quick lunch. We ventured out for dinner each night and Natalie, the property owner, provided us with excellent recommendations. Trout Street delivered an amazing meal with local seafood and an unforgettable ambiance. The proximity of the property also allowed us to see some of the local attractions; one afternoon we crossed the free ferry and ventured as far as the Big Tree on Goose Island (about 35 miles away). Always the perfect host, Natalie called us both when we checked in and checked out to ensure that we were enjoying our stay. Thank you for allowing us to create memories for a lifetime!
Wonderful!

My happy place!
Love this condo! The view is fabulous morning and night! Coffee in the morning on the balcony then wine at night. Walking directly to the beach with the out door shower is a big plus! The beds were comfortable too! Kitchen has all the necessary equipment to cook anything from shrimp pot to the best knives, a big plus too! This is my second visit to this happy place and I will be back! I did use the awesome pool too this time, sweet clean and not crowded!
Loved this condo and view.
Lovely clean condo overlooking the ocean. Close to great restaurants, right on beach. We loved siting out on the balcony in the evening overlooking the ocean. Great vacation would go there again.
It was quaint and cute little beach front condo
Definitely a family friendly condominium, so be prepared to hear little feet running around in the condo above. The condo was welcoming, had a great view of the ocean and a very close walk to the beach which was fantastic. My only complaint was that there was a wad of hair stuck in the shower drain when we arrived, but overall a very fun trip and great location.

perfect efficency condo
The views were perfect. The efficiency-condo was well appointed and comfortable. Beach access couldn't have been better. Not accessible for people with mobility issues (almost didn't work for dad).
Lovely beach front
Well-appointed efficiency condo in a complex with pool, tennis court, grills, and laundry facilities. Great views. 2nd floor. Attentive owners. Would rent again!
