About this property

Gulf Views, Boardwalk to Beach, Heated Pool

Under new ownership effective April 1st, 2024.
Tortuga View BH405 is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom getaway with a Gulf view. The unit is on the 3rd or top floor, with no elevator access, which provides a water view and ensures that no one will be above you. Its new owners recently redecorated and made many updates (including a new AC) in 2024. This inviting condo sleeps six and is situated in the popular Beachhead Community. Conveniently located in town, it is in the golf cart zone and is just minutes away from Port Aransas' dining, shopping, and entertainment. You will access the condo with a keycode, so there is no need to pick up a key.
The open living room and dining room provide space for you and your family to relax after a fun day in the sun. The large flat-screen TV in the living room offers both cable and streaming capability. There is a supply of board games and puzzles so you can enjoy some family fun or be all set for a rainy day.
You’ll have a choice of a Keurig or a regular coffee maker to fix your morning fuel, and the well-equipped kitchen is the perfect spot to cook your catch of the day. The balcony provides additional space to stretch out and enjoy the view and sea breeze.
You can retreat to the primary bedroom, which has a king-sized bed, a large TV, and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has twin-over-twin bunk beds and a twin bed with a twin trundle. This room also has an en-suite bathroom and TV.

Take a break from the pool in the onsite game room, which offers foosball, ping-pong, air hockey, and a TV lounge area.

Advertised good but

Bathtubs in both bathrooms had wads of long black hair in them. Dishes in cabinet were dirty. Otherwise everything was very nice. Not super kid friendly but not bad.

Wonderful Getaway!

We went with our family of four for a few days and had a great time! The boardwalk takes you right to the beach, and the pool is nice and clean when you need a break from the sand. This unit was very clean upon arrival and decorated really cute. They have books, games and plenty of kitchen items to make for a great stay!

Beachfront and In Town

Absolutely wonderful ocean view from the balcony and nicely updated interior. The owners thought of the little extras, games, toys, tv to watch. We had a hard time leaving!

Excellent spot to relax

This is our third stay at Beachhead and we have enjoyed every stay, we even had our wedding reception there 18 years ago. This visit we stayed in close proximity to the pool and it was just perfect. We love the view of the gulf you get while relaxing by the pool, the boardwalk to the beach is nice, the games in the game room are fun when wanting to stay out of the heat, covered parking keeps the car cool, kitchens in rooms provide able space for cooking, and so many of our favorite shops and restaurants are in walking distance. Highly recommend staying here when you visit Port Aransas

Great Last Minute Stay

It was very easy to book and the communication was excellent. Personal note on the specific room, balcony door does not lock and a piece of metal is on the wall that cut my husbands arm. Also there was a wifi router but no instructions to connect to the internet. Overall though the place was very clean and stocked nicely. Everyone had great nights sleep and plenty of room. Would stay again.

Pelicans with a view

Overall the Tortuga View At Beachhead was great. Spacious condo, clean, fully stocked with the items you need. A great heated pool and a short walk to the beach. Every balcony has a view of the water, some restricted views. Comfortable furniture, nice decorations, added bonus of patio furniture. Opportunities for improvement, bed wasn’t comfortable (too firm), muddy parking spots with standing water, area’s for repairs around the property (maintenance was working on several things, which was great and not disruptive), beach path would be nice if entire path had a rail at least on onside- though probably not required, just that added for those that need it. Nice clean location in a great spot close to beach and area restaurants. We will be back - liked this place and ease of checking in and out, without contact of staff.

Glad it was a short stay

The pictures were deceiving. We overpaid for this place for sure. It was clean, but had a strong musty, mothball smell. It was two flights of stairs up which wasn’t fun to lug things up after a long day. The back door didn’t lock. There were pigeons on this nasty board on the patio. Overall, it was fine, but we would have requested a refund had it been more than two nights.

Beautiful remote location

Overall, we were very pleased. We will stay again for sure. Great pool and park. Beautiful beach. Gorgeous view on the boardwalk. We loved the location!!!!! There were a few things that disturbed us. Minor in comparison. 1. A ton of bird droppings on patio. Not appropriate for children 1,4, and 6. 2. Bathroom ceiling paint fell from the ceiling during my husbands shower. We know no one could prevent it from happening but still unsettling. 3 Aracde room charges money to play. So bring coins. Which we were not prepared for so that was sad to explain to the kid's.

Nice location and clean condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we enjoyed our stay. The space was adequate and the table was large enough for all 6 of us to sit around. We loved that we were able to walk to the beach just down the boardwalk. The place was clean, but the sofas' finish was disintegrating. The 'fully stocked' kitchen was a little light on cooking utensils and cookware. Though the freezer kept the ice we bought frozen, it took the freezer took 3 days to freeze our drinks we put in when we arrived. The fridge kept everything cold and was nice and large. The beds weren't really that comfortable, and though the bed in the master bedroom was lovely, it had an attack foot board that we all have bruises on our shins from accidentally hitting it on the way to the bathroom. Also walking up two flights of stairs was difficult esp. when loading and loading the cars. But we were happy with our stay.

Great Unit- terrible HOA management

This rental was absolutely perfect for my family. We fit just right, my only suggestion would be curtains on the master to help with cooling in this Texas heat. However; the HOA management on the property is another story. Adrian kicked myself and my 4 young daughters out of the pool area because I wanted to ask him a pool rule question. Then at midnight the same night Adrian proceeded to try to come in my room to see how many people I had with me. I closed the door behind me-again just myself (a mom) and her 4 young daughters. I dealt with his question outside. . I have never been treated this way at any VRBO location or in life. I watched him treat another family the same way at the pool the next night. At 10:30pm a 3 & 5 year old we’re playing air hockey too loud. That family was kicked out. With this sort of management I would suggest no one stay there. I give great stars to this unit but this facility needs to regain people skills.

Reviewer Comments: When when I first walked into the room I noticed the balcony you was out of order which nobody let me know before renting the room! The security there was a little uppity and telling people not to drive fast I've been annoying since he seemed bored. also I did see several pets with renters there I will never rent another condo from there ever again!

Good location and spacious

The driveway and internet was our largest issues with this rental. The driveway was muddy and not rocked or paved. As such we tracked mud everywhere. The other a little less annoying was the internet. There was a sign up saying do not touch electronics. Well some previous renters must have reset the router and the network name and password no longer existed. The internet was accessible but had to use the default information found on the renter to get on. Aside from those two items we had a great time, the condo was spacious and clean. Would consider again if not for the mud.
