Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gulf Views, Boardwalk to Beach, Heated Pool

Tortuga View BH405 is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom getaway with a Gulf view. The unit is on the 3rd or top floor, with no elevator access, which provides a water view and ensures that no one will be above you. Its new owners recently redecorated and made many updates (including a new AC) in 2024. This inviting condo sleeps six and is situated in the popular Beachhead Community. Conveniently located in town, it is in the golf cart zone and is just minutes away from Port Aransas' dining, shopping, and entertainment. You will access the condo with a keycode, so there is no need to pick up a key.
The open living room and dining room provide space for you and your family to relax after a fun day in the sun. The large flat-screen TV in the living room offers both cable and streaming capability. There is a supply of board games and puzzles so you can enjoy some family fun or be all set for a rainy day.
You’ll have a choice of a Keurig or a regular coffee maker to fix your morning fuel, and the well-equipped kitchen is the perfect spot to cook your catch of the day. The balcony provides additional space to stretch out and enjoy the view and sea breeze.

Wonderful family vacation

We had a great time. The property and condo were great. We enjoyed the pool and game room in the evenings. Beach board walk was perfect. The primary bedroom was hot at night even with AC set at 72, but living room and other room stayed cool. Bring extra trash bags.

Wonderful Getaway!

We went with our family of four for a few days and had a great time! The boardwalk takes you right to the beach, and the pool is nice and clean when you need a break from the sand. This unit was very clean upon arrival and decorated really cute. They have books, games and plenty of kitchen items to make for a great stay!

Perfectly clean, comfortable stay. Liked being wable to walk to the beach via the boardwalk. Condo interior was updated and had everything we needed. We liked the bag to use for finding shells. Hosts had everything we needed and good instructions. You'll need $1.50 in quarters to wash a load of laundry and then another $1.50 for drying a load. I wish they had a coin machine available. Pool was great and relaxing. Beds were a little harder than I prefer but still everything was clean. Outside of the condos needs a little sprucing up with paint and such. There is no office to check-in. You’ll get a text letting you know your condo is ready (guarantee check-in between 4 and 5.) Felt very safe and would stay here again.

Excellent spot to relax

This is our third stay at Beachhead and we have enjoyed every stay, we even had our wedding reception there 18 years ago. This visit we stayed in close proximity to the pool and it was just perfect. We love the view of the gulf you get while relaxing by the pool, the boardwalk to the beach is nice, the games in the game room are fun when wanting to stay out of the heat, covered parking keeps the car cool, kitchens in rooms provide able space for cooking, and so many of our favorite shops and restaurants are in walking distance. Highly recommend staying here when you visit Port Aransas

Great location and very comfortable

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property is very clean, plenty of linens, towels, cooking utensils, etc., as advertised and would stay again. Very comfortable. A couple of suggestions . It would be nice to include in the listing what floor the unit is on. I suppose being on the beach you should expect it to be multilevel. The check-in process should be better explained. When we arrived at 4 PM ,the unit has still not been inspected, we had not received instructions and did not know how to get in until calling the rental company. Having known an expectation or check in process would have prevented our call or confusion. The other suggestion would be to include a small safe in closet. Overall great unit and would book it again.

Great Last Minute Stay

It was very easy to book and the communication was excellent. Personal note on the specific room, balcony door does not lock and a piece of metal is on the wall that cut my husbands arm. Also there was a wifi router but no instructions to connect to the internet. Overall though the place was very clean and stocked nicely. Everyone had great nights sleep and plenty of room. Would stay again.

Pelicans with a view

Overall the Tortuga View At Beachhead was great. Spacious condo, clean, fully stocked with the items you need. A great heated pool and a short walk to the beach. Every balcony has a view of the water, some restricted views. Comfortable furniture, nice decorations, added bonus of patio furniture. Opportunities for improvement, bed wasn’t comfortable (too firm), muddy parking spots with standing water, area’s for repairs around the property (maintenance was working on several things, which was great and not disruptive), beach path would be nice if entire path had a rail at least on onside- though probably not required, just that added for those that need it. Nice clean location in a great spot close to beach and area restaurants. We will be back - liked this place and ease of checking in and out, without contact of staff.

Glad it was a short stay

The pictures were deceiving. We overpaid for this place for sure. It was clean, but had a strong musty, mothball smell. It was two flights of stairs up which wasn’t fun to lug things up after a long day. The back door didn’t lock. There were pigeons on this nasty board on the patio. Overall, it was fine, but we would have requested a refund had it been more than two nights.
