For the past three years I've taken my inlaws to Island Retreat. We get the same unit every year #46. This one in right in the middle of the complex second floor with a pool view and ocean view. Great for the 90 year old inlaws to sit out on the balcony and watch us all at the pool or... more

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. The staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities were well maintained. The boardwalks to the beach were close and easy and kept up and the pools were... more

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. They... more

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. Be sure to ask for a condo in Island Retreat II because those all have a balcony that face directly to the beach. All condos have cable TV and if you want wireless... more

We have stayed at the Island Retreat for the past three years. The first two stays were satisfactory. This year was very disappointing. We asked for a particular two bedroom/two bath condo and the reservationist pointed out on the Island Retreat map which one it was. I gave them my MC# and received a guarantee. When we arrived we had... more

My husband and I stayed here in June 2006. My husband liked it so much he wanted to buy a condo here. They are older units but are in good repair. We had a first floor condo, could see a little of the beach thru the sand dunes, and could definitely hear the waves. This unit was pet friendly with... more

We stayed at Sandcastles Condos this weekend and had a great time. It's a very clean, classy place to stay in Port A. Beautiful pool, but claim your chair by 9 am, or you'll go without! Very nice boardwalk to the beach, which had some seaweed, but not bad at all. Our one bedroom had a great view of the... 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
