There were many places my fiance and I have stayed in Port Aransas but I must say the Shark Reef Resort is now our new Happy Place. We visited this last weekend during spring break and the owners Jennifer and Mike were extremely wonderful though the place was very busy. They made sure our stay was comfortable and nice and...

We stayed at Shark Reef Resort during our family's annual deep sea fishing trip. We have stayed many places in Port A and this is one of the most economical options we have found yet. The friendly owners let us choose between several rooms (some are renovated and some are dated). We chose a renovated king room and paid $69... More

Stayed there because I had no place else to stay. The rates were great and the room was big, clean, and comfortable. I have traveled; stayed in 5 star hotels and slept under trucks in the Sahara desert. I have always found beach communities to be expensive for what you get, hundreds a night for maybe a view of the... More
