Port A Beach Vacay

We had the most amazing time during our stay! The condo was absolutely perfect for us. We loved the location and the short walk to the beach. The condo is decorated so nice and the cleanliness of this property was above and beyond. The communication I had with the property owner prior to our stay was great. I felt like I knew her! We hope to stay in this exact condo when we visit again.

Great Location, Wonderful Host, Large Comfortable Rooms

We rented this unit in July 2025 for a family reunion. We enjoyed all aspects of the spacious condo from the private balcony to large living room and open well-equipped kitchen lay out to the spacious bedrooms. The location on the Coral Cay grounds is perfect -- right across from the office and the pool and easy walking distance to the boardwalk to the beach. The hoist is very responsive and friendly. We would rent this unit again!

Best condo in Port A!

We had a wonderful family vacation in this condo. It was so spacious and comfortable for our entire crew. We are a family of five so I was worried it might be a little too cramped, but there was plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. It is so close to the beach and to everything you want to go to in town we will definitely be back!

Thank you for the review. But after your comments regarding the number of bathrooms, I immediately checked the information noted on the VRBO site and it notes that in the second bathroom there is only a toilet. I am sorry for the confusion. Hopefully, I can try and create a better understanding for future guests.

Great stay!

Path to the beach, clean and convenient to all the fun in Port A. Modern beach condo with balcony. 2 shared pools. Really enjoyed our time here and was close enough for day trips to Corpus Christie. Loved being able to hear and see the beach. Only thing that I didn’t realize was laundry was not in unit but coin facility for all of Coral Cay. Loved the place though and definitely will stay again.

Very clean and comfortable!

I highly recommend this property. It was extremely clean, updated, and the check in process was fast and friendly. The property grounds are also well maintained. The boardwalk to the beach is located on the property, making beach access very easy. I think one of the best parts of our stay was that the interior of the condo was so quiet at night, even on a busy holiday weekend. It was peaceful and relaxing. Thank you!

Birthday celebration

We booked last minute gate away to celebrate my husband’s birthday. I came across this property during my search! Beautiful property! Very clean and not far for beach! We all enjoy our time. Very spacious property! One sad part is the property only has 1 shower. Other than that great place! We will be staying again!!!

Great stay at Coral Cay

The Coral Cay condos are a great place to stay and the owner of this unit is very kind and easy to work with. The complex itself is not new but it's well maintained. This condo unit is well appointed, has comfortable beds, and is close to the beach. Our family (kids ages 8-10) had no problem walking with our things to the beach from the condo. We had a wonderful week!

Beach View

This was a truly wonderful condo. Nice layout, clean, stocked kitchen and a beach view! We mid-western3ra had a blended 3 generation family. Older folks wanted big rooms and easy access, teens wanted a beach view and parents wanted to keep the peace. This was perfect. Easy to check in, quiet area, super easy access to the beach, nice parking and easily the nicest VRBO or hotel I have ever stayed in. This was a great location for some quality family time. Thank you!

We are happily retired parents and grandparents transplanted to Texas from the east coast 25+ years ago.
Love the people and activities that San Antonio and the Port Aransas areas offer to us.

Why they chose this property

It has always been a dream of mine to be by the water. The sounds and view of it calms me. It took a year of looking to find the unit that offered the view and amenities that I was hoping to find.
Harvey destroyed our unit. And after three long years of missing our home away from home. Our unit is back. Brand new and lovely.
We have purchased furniture that makes the unit comfortable for us, family and guests.
Welcome and enjoy the fun, adventure and relaxation that "A Walk on the Beach" can provide.

What makes this property unique

Close to the beach, with a wonderful water view. Quick and easy trip to restaurants, shops and fishing at the pier. Rent a golf cart in the many close by facilities for in town fun.
Lots of parking, park right in front of the building. Coral Cay has two pools, coin operated laundry facilities. Wonderful staff.
Make sure you make restaurant reservations for the sit down dining (especially during the summer/holiday times.
