We loved staying at this condo. it was very clean and I would for sure stay there again. The TV in the bedroom did not work but was reported to owner and I am sure it will be fixed for the next guest.
This was the perfect place for our quick getaway. Close to the beach, golf carts readily available and the beach gear option was SO cool! We loved the location and how clean it was. Checking in was easy and so was checking out!! No complex cleaning instructions involved and they were pre-stocked with everything we needed.
Accommodation is even better than the photos and the cleanliness and amenities were fantastic!
Just a short walk to the beach! Wish we could have stayed longer!
Very beautifully decorated. Relaxing atmosphere. SO LOVEDDD the icemaker: ice for our beach cooler!*THANK YOU* for the stay!AMichael Anakin-Jedi (11) Razzen
Great apt nicely decorated and clean! The outside patio area was pretty dirty but didn't bother us much and didn't spend much time there.. Great location and easy access to the beach, especially if you can find a golf cart.
Our family of four enjoyed our weekend stay. The condo was as described and had everything that we needed. It is right next door to Cinnamon Shores which was convenient for our needs. The boardwalk to the beach accommodated golf carts which was essential. The condo have a very comfortable bed and the kitchen was well stocked. The complimentary beach umbrella and chairs were a nice perk.
Came down for a family wedding. Most stayed on Cinnamon Shore property but we found this little gem! Less expensive but still wonderful charming property and we were able to walk to all festivities on the beach of Cinnamon Shore. Management company was very kind and responsive. Wonderful stay in every way!
Clean and renovated. Small, but worked perfect for the two of us. Location was away from things and this made it quiet which we liked. Management company responsive and communicated well. Only issue we had was on the last night… noisy family in condo above (could hear kids running around all evening).
Super clean with great amenities. Washer and dryer, Nice shower, with plates pots and pans to cook meals if you want.
So close to the ocean! paved path to the ocean where you can walk or take a golf cart through.
5/5
It was a great place to stay at. The beach was just a 2 minute walk. It was me my wife and our 3 year old. Our 3 year old loved it. The place was piece and quite. It was everything they said it was. Check in and check out was really easy. We a new place to stay at everytime. We will be back. Love the place
This place has everything. Washer dryer in RR was very convenient. Bathroom was nice and everything was very clean. Appliances were very modern and fun to use for cooking. Beautiful kitchen. We spent a lot of time at the beach and had a great time! Management was very responsive!
Great condo for a couple. Port Aransas beaches are so beautiful! We spent lots of time on the beach and the water was beautiful & green and the sand was thick & white.
At the condo we cooked breakfast there every day. The kitchen was well stocked and had good appliances. My suggestion would be to get rid of the Kuerig coffee maker that does not work and only keep the working Kuerig in the condo. I would also suggest clearing out some of the dishes and kitchen stuff; the cabinets were packed with too many dishes (in my opinion).
Overall; a great stay at a wonderful condo. We will definitely book this condo again!
