My family and I had our first experience of all vacationing in the same spot at the same time earlier this month. We had the great fortune to stat in rooms at Island Retreat in Port Aransas. The staff there was so helpful and ready and willing to help us with all our needs and went out of their way... more

My wife and I visited our son who is living near Dallas at the start of April. We are from the UK & had never visited Texas before. We found No. 149 0n the web and read the reviews. We booked for 4 days which was to be a seaside break but we had no idea what to expect. We... 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

The instructions... 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 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
