Fun getaway!

We had a great time, nice condo and community. Excellent communication with host. Teens enjoyed pickleball court. Short walk to the beach, just a couple of blocks, and plenty of parking at the seawall lot. Definitely recommend this property if you're looking for a quiet beach stay.

My husband and I enjoyed our weekend getaway. Laina is a great host and made herself available if we needed anything. Condo is cute and just minutes away from the beach. Love the book selection made available to guests to read while there. I wish I had taken one of my already read books to donate. No complaints on our end. Would definitely want to book again.

Padre island

The condo is clean and well equipped. The host was great. She was very responsive and helpful. The main pool could use some work as the tile is coming off and moss seems to be growing on the columns.

You all were wonderful guests, thank you for treating the condo as if it were your own.😊 Cassidy is an excellent communicator. I will be sure to let the Aruba Bay resort Owners Association know that the pool needs a deep clean. Thank you for letting me know it needs to be addresssed. Cassity and her sweet family are welcome back anytime!

About the host

Hosted by Laina Mayo

Host profile image
Hi there! We're a family from New Braunfels, TX, and we've made so many sweet memories staying on North Padre Island over the years—it’s one of our happy places! When we had the chance to invest in a little slice of paradise, Aruba Bay Resort felt like the perfect fit. It was built new in 2020, full of fun amenities, and just a short stroll to the beach. We get to enjoy it ourselves (which we totally do!), and we’re so excited to share it with others now too!

Why they chose this property

We love Aruba Bay Resort - it is the perfect spot for couples or families or a small group of friends! Nestled in a quiet, friendly neighborhood on North Padre Island, just minutes from Whitecap Beach for surfing, seashell hunting, and sunrise walks. Evenings are made for sunsets over Lake Padre and relaxing BBQs under the stars.

Enjoy two heated pools, golf cart and bike exploring, plus nearby fishing at Packery Channel and Bob Hall Pier. Great local eats and essentials like gas stations and grocery stores are just minutes away.

Whether it’s family fun or a romantic getaway, Aruba Bay offers the perfect blend of beach vibes and cozy coastal living.

What makes this property unique

Aruba Bay Resort is unique because you have access to all the amenities, including the option to rent a boat slip from the Kokomo Yacht Club across the street from the condo.
