Friends booked one of the 3 bedroom condos for 8 of us. The price was great at $210 a night (off season). The condo was # 107, which was second closest to the Beach and walkway to the beach. The view was awesome! Again price was the key and fun was had by all. The size the place was HUGE!... more

The perfect place for that family get together or getaway. Worked perfect for us with more than enough room for sleeping, eating, relaxing and enjoying the sights and sounds of Port Aransas.

We made our reservation with AE and when we arrived, they no longer accepted American Express. New management company and the worst front desk I have ever experienced. Huge ants crawling on the lamp shade in my daughters condo and terribly uncomfortable beds and furniture. These would be great for fishermen, but definitely not 4 star like they advertise.

We have been staying at Island Retreat for years on our Port Aransas vacation and have found it outstanding in every way. The condos are always clean.

When we arrived we had... more

I stayedat the Island Retreat recently with a few of my friends, and it was awesome. I loved the fact that we had a large balcony we could all sit on facing the water, and the boardwalk leading us straight to the beach. The Pool was great, and all the amenities in the condo(Full Kitchen, Towels, Cable TV) were more... more
