Great gulf view

This was exactly what we were hoping for in our trip. The condo had everything we needed and the gulf was right there out the back door. The views of the beach and hearing the waves from the condo was very relaxing. Would definitely love to go back.

Peace & Beauty

This condo was exactly as presented: beautiful and peaceful. The beach is easily accessible when we wanted to go down, but the view from the 7th floor condo made it tempting to sit peacefully inside or on the balcony. Everything was super clean and our hosts were friendly and easy to communicate with. If we ever go back to Mustang Island, we will definitely stay here!

Fabulous!

Had an amazing visit -the property was fabulous- from the nice decor, cleanliness, location, amenities. The balcony overlooking the ocean was beautiful - watching the sunrise to the moonrise was a favorite. We had great communication with Mark and Quinlan - the welcome bag with goodies was a nice touch! Thank you for making our first visit to the Texas coast an awesome experience!

OMG - wonderful!

There’s nothing I can say bad about this place. Everything in the condo was perfect. The condo property has so many great amenities - but the beach access is the best. Gorgeous sunrises w/ coffee on the balcony was the perfect start. We’ll definitely try to rent this property again, if we’re in the area for any reason.

Port A Condo review August

We really enjoyed the condo. Very comfortable , air conditioning worked really well, beds were comfortable. View wonderful and easy access to beach!! Enjoyed having the canopy set up already for us and the condo had plenty of beach stuff as well. Only complaint ( and it is a small one) is that we ran out of trash bags and paper towels. There was no extra paper towels and only a half or less was there on arrival. There was one trash bag but that is all we could find. Other than that , great place to stay!!!

Great trip with kids!

I took my teenage daughter and friend to the beach for her birthday along with my school age son. The condo was very clean and well organized. The view was amazing! The sleeping arrangements were exactly as advertised and easy to set up in every way. Check in and check out was easy. The pool and proximity to the beach were wonderful. It gave us plenty of independence. The property hosts were really communicative and helpful. They responded to my every request. My only complaints were about the building itself. We came during the week when it was quite slow and empty at the beach and the building’s single operating elevator was a delay and pain every time we went up or down, especially with luggage. Some of the common areas had an exceptional number of mosquitoes which caused problems.

Beautiful and comfortable

This condo was beautiful and tastefully decorated. Had everything we needed, including oven mitts, beach towels and cooler, coffeemaker. Everything in working order and well maintained, good AC and hot water, comfy furniture, large TV and easy-to-use streaming. Large balcony with chairs was our morning spot for the sunrise over the water. Beach was clean and a short walk on a boardwalk. Property supplied free daily sunshades and lounge chairs. Large clean pool, friendly staff, fast elevators. Good, friendly communication with owners and property folks. Located south of town, a 5 minute ride away, but much less crowded than in-town properties. Couldn't have asked for a better place! Do bring extra toilet paper, one roll was supplied per bathroom. Otherwise, we had plenty of soap, towels, etc.
