Beautiful Condo in a Lovely Neighborhood

Spent the month of March in the Port A on the Horizon condominiums and could not have been happier with our choice. Condo was immaculately clean and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The location is convenient to everything – beach, birding center, grocery store, restaurants, etc. The longest car ride we had was 6 minutes to the beach, but if you enjoy walking you can get to those places via foot. Mark and Karen (the owners) are the nicest people you will ever meet, and we enjoyed trading stories of our Port A adventures with them and getting tips for our vacation stay. Looking forward to a return visit in the future.

Port Aransas Condo

The condo was beautiful. Everything was as it should be. We had to cut our vacation short by 2 weeks when my wife became ill. Maybe the weather would have gotten warmer had we stayed longer. We enjoyed the time we had.

Wonderful Condo

My husband and I stayed at this property for a week with our 3 teenagers and we all had a great time. The home has a perfect location in town and just a quick drive on a golf cart to the beach. The home was clean and had everything that we needed to cook meals in the kitchen. We will definitely look forward to our next vacation stay.

Perfect Texas Weekend Getaway

My family and I decided to take a weekend getaway at the end of spring break. We love the beach and Port A is a sweet spot in our hearts. However, I suffer from mold toxicity, so as you can imagine, finding a rental that's on the water and mold-free can be quite a daunting task. I asked prior to booking about the mold situation. Karen assured me there was "no mold". Imagine my feelings when I arrived to learn that the rental was not only as presented, but it was in fact mold-free. I honestly believe that is hard to find on the water. It was such a care-free feeling to be able to focus on fun, and there's lots of that in Port A! We rented a golf cart and rode around town. The rental is just a short distance from the beach. I love the location because it's not too close that you end up with sand all in the house, but close enough to be convenient. Karen and Mark truly do take care of this property and it shows! I am already making plans to come back in August to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Thank you Karen and Mark, again, for a wonderful weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Kay Bentley

Host profile image
We are Mark and Karen Bentley. Mark has been coming down here all his life with his grandparents. We've been coming down as a family since 1987. We love this island and all it has to offer and hope you will love it too!

Why they chose this property

We bought the land lot in 2000 and decided to build in Jan 2017. Timing was right and we always wanted to build a triplex. We always wanted to live in one part and rent out the rest as vacation rental or winter Texan rentals.

What makes this property unique

This property is in town. We are close to the ferry and the marina area. We are less than a mile from the beach by car, bike, or just walking. We are close to restaurants and nightlife. We are close to the Community Pool and not far from the birding center. Our neighborhood is quiet and we can see the big ships coming down the channel from a distance on our front deck. The front deck gives excellent sunset pictures and the back deck some great sunrise pictures.
