The Port Aransas Sand Fest is the last weekend in April, and has some of the most spectacular professional sand sculptures you'll ever see on display. We enjoyed driving our car right on the beach and bringing our own beverages and chairs to cool off on the beach afterward.

The cabin was great. I loved the safety and cleanliness of the cabin. Everything seemed to work ok.I had to put something over the foot of the bed frame. I kept hitting my shins on the metal.
