When we arrived an hour after check in time room was still not clean. We had to leave for an hour and a half and come back to room. After 5 to 10 minutes of back and forth the employee finally allowed us to stay two hours past the 11 am (which seems early compared to most hotels/condos) check out... more

We stayed in Island Retreat #126 for a week and had a wonderful time. It is near great fishing, beach, golf (Newport Beach Golf Club), and the USS Lexington (great historical aircraft carrier museum in Corpus Christi). Coastline Adventures was easy to work with. We had a few burned out lightbulbs on arrival, which they fixed immediately even though it... more

I see I'm not the only one to have a problem with Coastline Adventures (see bilboinsa review 8/21/08). We booked Unit 126 through Coastline for Labor Day weekend for two adults and two dogs. Coastline was advised of our plans to bring our dogs and they only mentioned a $350 damage deposit to be charged to our credit card. Totally... more

Management response from
Iloveportaransas, Owner

As the owner of Island Retreat #126, I am obviously concerned with the experience you had with the unit and the management company. It is my personal goal as an owner and frequent user of our wonderful little condo to make sure it is in tip top condition and the management company is working with our guests to enhance their...

We have been to Port A many times, but never during peak season. Scheduled a trip during peak season to go with another family. After seeing the peak summer price for some of our usual stays, we found this one which seemed a bargain at $175 a night. Decent room, location, beach, etc... No complaints until checkout time. The instructions... more

I stayed at this condo community the last week of July and it was great. I had a condo (1 bedroom, a livining room, kitchen and bathroom) I LOVED IT! My husband and I went on a vacation with family in which they rented 2 other rooms as well. We all were please with the rooms and the community. The... more

We just returned from our first trip ever to Port A, TX. We booked our efficiency through the Island Retreat website and stayed in Unit #146. It was a great week at the beach. Our room was close to the boardwalk and just steps from one of the pools. Island Retreat was easy to find, office people were VERY friendly... more

I called to cancel my online reservation after finding out that the Sandcastle had an opening (their pool is much bigger) and was notified of a $25 cancelation fee. I made the coment about not being aware of such policy and the operator strongly pointed out that it was mentioned in my confirmation e-mail. When I told her that it... more
