La Concha

Location was great, easy beach access. We arrived a few hours early and were challenged to figure out early access (the condo was ready for occupancy, but access code would not work until 4:00 pm.) We did get help and got in by 3:00pm. Condo seemed clean. Over the two weeks we were there, we found five roach type insects on the floors and rugs, one was over an inch long. The kitchen lacked a colander, knives and cutting boards in poor condition. The corkscrew was a flimsy joke that bent and broke without being able to open a wine bottle. Master bath had large glass shower doors but no squeegee to clean them after use, also one of them leaked at the bottom where the gasket was inadequate. Second bath had a non-functional body wash container. The TV in the master bedroom indicated it was hooked to the internet but no content was available. We had a good stay, but the roaches really freaked us out!

First time to Port Aransas

We loved Port Aransas ! Our stay was marred by the frigid cold January of 2025 but that couldn't be helped . Our stay at Island Retreat was very comfortable and clean. We never needed anything it was perfect . We will be back . Thank you!

Beautiful and Comfortable Condo

My two friends and I were so impressed by our beautiful and cozy retreat. We loved the tasteful and relaxing decor - blue-gray walls with neutral and navy accents. The finishes were very nice, and the place was very well maintained. It appeared to us to have been recently renovated. It was just gorgeous! We had everything we needed, and the unit was clean. Every thing was in working order, except the stopper for the master bathroom sink was missing, but that wasn’t a big deal. The property was quiet, and our neighbors were friendly. Parking was available right by our front door, and the beach was just a short walk away across the dunes on the wooden walkway. Great location for getting to places in Port Aransas. We couldn’t have asked for a better place. Loved it!
