About this property
Gulf Views + 2 Pools + Tennis + Pickleball | Port Aransas | Rise N Beach
There's a particular kind of quiet that comes with waking up to the Gulf. At Rise N Beach, a renovated second-floor condo set right on the sand, that quiet is the first thing you'll notice — followed quickly by the view that runs the full length of the oversized balcony and refuses to let you look away.
Inside, the updates are easy to appreciate. The living area is bright and roomy, anchored by a comfortable pull-out sleeper sofa for extra guests, and the kitchen has been finished with modern touches and stocked for real cooking, not just reheating — the day's catch and big group dinners are both fair game.
The king primary suite earns its "retreat" label. A flat-screen TV, an ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, and a wall of windows mean you can watch the waves roll in without ever leaving the bed. Down the hall, a queen bedroom and a flexible bunk room — outfitted with a twin-over-twin bunk and a king bed — each come with their own TV and share a sleek second bathroom, an easy setup for kids, friends, or a mix of both.
Then there's the balcony. Wide open to the beach, the dunes, and the shifting blues of the Gulf, it's the kind of spot that quietly reorganizes your day around it: coffee at sunrise, a long stretch of nothing come afternoon, the sea breeze doing most of the work.
Rise N Beach sits within Island Retreat, a palm-dotted, 25-acre beachfront complex built for exactly this kind of trip. A private boardwalk carries you over the dunes straight to the sand, and guests have access to two pools, tennis and pickleball courts, sprawling lawns, charcoal grills, picnic areas, and a fish-cleaning station. On-site security keeps watch through the busy summer season and holiday events. You're just off 11th Street in Port Aransas's golf-cart zone, minutes from the island's easygoing lineup of restaurants, shops, and nightlife — pizza and live music at The Gaff, burgers at Lelo's Island Bar, ferry-side views and dolphin-watching at Roberts Point Park, and the wide, drive-on beaches that make this stretch of the Texas coast so easy to love. AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!
Port Aransas, a gem on the Texas Gulf Coast, offers the perfect blend of sun, sand, and relaxation. With its pristine beaches, charming small-town vibe, and a wide range of outdoor activities, it's an ideal vacation spot for groups. Enjoy fishing, water sports, or simply lounging on the sandy shores. Don't miss the Port Aransas Nature Preserve for birdwatching. This coastal haven promises unforgettable memories for your group getaway.

The location was fabulous. We loved our stay. The only thing I would say is that we don’t have any beach toys. We ended up purchasing 2 boogie boards and sand toys and leaving them there for the next family to enjoy because we couldn’t fly back with them.
Really enjoyed our stay. Loved the beach view out of the living area and the main bedroom. the patio was a great place to enjoy morning coffee watching the ocean waves. The location was within .5 miles of the entrance to Sandfest. We did not hear any noise or disturbance from the Bachelorette Party in the unit below us. Our only complaint was the sliding door from the living area to the patio could not be opened. I would stay here again and recommend it to others.
Our fave family vacay spot is Port A, so we brought our friends along this time to experience the island. Island Retreat is always a great choice for lodging because of it's ease of access to the beach, loads of on site amenities and updated in town condos.
We loved spending Christmas here! The weather was perfect! The condo had everything we needed. We loved walking on the boardwalk to the beach with plenty of beach chairs and towels to use.
Great location, gorgeous balcony view, and so much room for our family of 5!! The walk to the beach was easy and the boardwalk was well-maintained. We’ll definitely be back! :-)
The property was well taken care of and very clean. My wife was checking in corners and underneath beds and she was very impressed with the cleanliness. Beautiful location and great views from the second floor balcony.
Our family had the best time staying at this condo! The location is great as it’s close to shops, restaurants, and beach access. The views were gorgeous! The condo was clean, the kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary equipment for food/drinks, and had a washer/dryer. The facility has two pools, one directly across from this condo. Our family had the best time and can’t wait to go back. We will definitely stay here again!
We had such a good time last year, we had to come back! Even though the weather was not as cooperative, we enjoyed sitting on the porch with our coffee watching the sun rise and set and the easy access to the beach when the sun made its brief appearance. Here's hoping we can come back again next year!
This was JUST what was needed!!! Hosts were so nice!! Place was VERY clean! Plenty of supplies! Amazing views!!! SUPER relaxing!!! Loved sitting on the balcony with my coffee in the morning and relaxing there at night just listening to the ocean and feeling the breeze. We will for sure be back!! My only regret is not being able to stay longer. It was the perfect time!!
We were surprised how close we were to the water. You see the water from tye livingroom and master bedroom. Clean, all cooking utensils, pans - etc. Was provided. Excellent communication! Beds are comfortable, beach towels and chairs provided. Heads up - light/fan contols are not hung on the wall in every room. It's separate and looks king of like a star trek com.
The listing was spot on for proximity to the beach and ease of access. The beach gear provided by the property was a nice surprise. Laundry facilities in the unit were helpful. Kitchen appliances were all working and helped our stay. I'm always skeptical of what the beds will be like in VRBO properties, but these were generally comfortable. The pool was close, clean, and provided a nice way to close out the day.
The property seemed clean but in general need of maintenance. One door appeared to be missing a lock, some attempts at patching holes in the drywall that were incomplete, and some of the window coverings were in a state of disrepair.
Wow! This place was awesome in every way. Here are some key points for us that really made this place perfect:
Very close to the beach. You can hear the water from the back patio. They have sand toys and beach chairs! Washer and dryer IN the unit. The beds are super comfy. TVs in every room! Board games! A very well stocked kitchen and they have everything. They were super generous with toilet paper and bags etc. I can’t say enough great things. Truly. The grounds are pristine and loads to do. Gracious neighbors and just an overall perfect everything. Thank you so much for the wonderful Texan hospitality that we love so much.
I loved the placed but feel like it wasnt cleaned properly. There was shattered glass all over the patio. All the windows in the patio were filthy which tell me the cleaning person never went out there. Found wrappers under the master bed as well. If i would to stay at this property again i would bring all my own pots and pan. The ones at the property are all scratches up or rusted. Not somthing you want to be cooking for your family with.We ended up buying a set so we could cook. The place is a perfect spot from the beach, just a quick walk.
This is a great unit! It is on the second floor (of three floors), so you can see the Gulf of Mexico over the dunes from the balcony. The path to the beach is very close to the building and one of the pools is right across the parking lot from the building. The furnishings were nice and it had everything we needed (except Kleenex). It was nice that they provided beach chairs and umbrellas. The onsite management (there Monday-Friday) and the folks at AvantStay were very responsive. I would definitely stay at this property and in this unit again. I didn't receive check-out instructions and full information about the property by email until the morning of check-out, which seems like it was a glitsch. Check-out was easy. We only had to take out the trash and start the dishes.
We loved our time at Rise N Beach.
Working with Sway, the rental company, was very easy. Emails I sent before our arrival were responded to within minutes. Once we arrived, we had to make one maintenance call ( a minor issue). Sway’s maintenance was there within 30 minutes and quickly fixed our issue. The grounds were clean and well maintained.
The condo itself was very clean when we arrived. It’s a comfortable space. The kitchen has most utensils we needed for meal preparation, including a dishwasher. There were even a couple of crock pots. Since we were there for a month, it was really nice to have a washer and dryer in the condo. For us, the highlight was the view from the balcony. It overlooks dunes and beyond that, the ocean. We saw amazing sunrises from that balcony. It is such a peaceful space to listen to the ocean, watch the waves, and see all sorts of wind life… we saw seagulls, pelicans, hawks, and even a couple coyotes. Finally, it only takes a few minutes to walk to the beach. We had no complaints and highly recommend this condo.
Loved the layout and location. Views were stunning and balcony was larger than expected. Felt safe and private. Nicely stocked amenities for cooking meals. Beds were comfortable. Only hiccup was check in instructions stated a building letter and there weren’t any and we had to call the office to get the unit number. Other than that we had a great time!! Will come again!
The kids enjoyed the bunk beds and the adults appreciated the comfy beds and well stocked kitchen.
A short and easy walk from the beach with a nice pool to enjoy.
The view from the balcony was gorgeous!
Place was clean, large beds, lots of cooking pans and utensils. WiFi was great since cell coverage wasn’t. There was nothing I think that could improve the overall experience! Highly recommend!
Home was cozy & clean with terrific amenities, & easy access to beach! Host was very responsive & provided wonderful family friendly recommendations! 10/10 Recommend!!
