The view from the balcony to the channel was it! So nice to sit in the morning and watch the dolphins play and big ships pass. Clean, quiet, check in easy, and had everything we needed. Maintenance works very hard on that pool to keep it looking nice, I noticed. Thank you!
Nice apartment, great communication, great location

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the frustration regarding the pool closure during your stay. We do want to mention that the Bay Tree pool closure was noted in the listing information prior to booking, but we completely understand how disappointing it can still be when an amenity is unavailable during your trip.
We truly appreciate you staying with us and hope you were still able to enjoy your time in Port Aransas and everything the area has to offer.
Have rented multiple condos over the years for an annual fishing tournament. This one was perfect for the 2 of us. The facility was nice, clean and management was very good with communication.

The condo is definitely a studio condo (perfect for 2). We enjoyed the view and the quiet. One drawback was the lack of supplies. They provide a coffee maker, but no coffee filters, as well as no ice in the freezer and no way to make/get ice.

We thank you for you review! We will look into these issues! Thank you for letting us know. The onsite office sells ice for guest convivence.
Pros: Clean condo in a great location. Short drive to the beach and restaraunts. Really liked the covered parking and closeness to the pool. The condo complex itself if clean and well kept. Stairs looked fairly new and solid. Plenty of linens and the shower was awesome. Communication with property management was smooth via text.
Cons: When we arrived the washer/drier had an out of order sign. Kind of a bummer. The room was really humid. Couch and linens always felt damp. This unit could really benefit from a dehumidifier. Tried switching the fan mode on the ac from on to auto and things improved a little.
Overall a cool place and good value in my opinion.

I have been using Port A Escapes for over 7 years . They are awesome . Some things that could be improved at that property . Dirty dishes and we had to wash before use . No hairdryer - not a big deal but all other properties provide one . They had one but it was broken . Dirty sheets on floor by entrance and broken washer and dryer was very disappointing. However , the pool and view were wonderful and getting a 10lb bag of ice in property was very convenient. I may stay in the second floor next time.

Love the location! Perfect for watching dolphins and ships sail by! Great access to pool. A couple of dings for the property itself, #1 the deck is horrible. So bad, it slops and in not a good way. Nails and splinters are bad, doesn't feel sound. You have to wear shoes on the deck and don't lean on the rail. First day fridge smelled like fish, not too strong but smelled. Wished they had hangers in the closets. I say this to say, we didn't spend majority of our time in the condo. When we did, it was nice, air conditioner is great, shower great, used the kitchen everyday for cooking at least one meal which was nice. Management was fantastic! Overall we had a wonderful trip! We are looking at coming back in October but looking at other condos at the same location due to the deck.
