Awesome Port Aransas Beachfront! Unobstructed Ocean Views Top Floor, 4 Bedroom

Port Aransas registration number 248283.

Our JVRAwesome, Port Aransas Beach, Beachfront, Top Floor, Penthouse Condo, "JVRAwesome Beachfront!" has a totally unobstructed gulf of Mexico view from a gulf facing wall of glass doors and windows that span the living room , dining area and master bedroom. Let the view and sounds of the gulf soothe the stress away. Located on Port Aransas Beach (Not Holiday Beach)

Our top floor, beachfront penthouse includes a large living area with sofas and a large screen TV, spacious dining and bar area, plus 4 separate bedrooms and 2 full baths provide plenty of room for playing games and relaxing. There are 5 Televisions. A door between the living area and three of the bedrooms ensures that night owls and early risers do not disturb each other. We have a washer and dryer in our condo.

The living area looks directly out on the beautiful waters of the gulf of Mexico and has a sliding door to the oceanfront balcony. The living room has a sofa, loveseat, two comfortable chairs and a large screen TV.

The dining area looks directly out on the gulf of Mexico and has a sliding door to the oceanfront balcony. There is a beautiful dining room table with additional seating for four people at the counter top bar.

The main bedroom has beautiful ocean front views, a king bed, flat screen TV and an ensuite bath with a walk in shower.

The 2nd bedroom has a king bed, flat screen TV and views of the gulf waters.

The 3rd bedroom has a king bed, a set of twin bunk beds and a flat screen TV.

The 4th front bedroom has a full over full bunk bed, a twin trundle and a flat screen TV.

At the end of the hallway, next to the 3rd bedroom, the bathroom has a shower/tub combo.

We do have a passenger elevator that is shared with the other penthouse condo. Adults only operating new elevator installed in 2016.

We have implemented enhanced cleaning and disinfecting of the property between stays based on information from the CDC. We cannot accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs during this period as the full time is needed by the cleaners.

Island Retreat is a great place to spend time with family and friends. This smoke-free condominium is beachfront . . . you simply walk over the dunes on the boardwalk to the flat part of the beach. Two pools! Pickleball, volleyball, shuffleboard, tennis, basketball all on the 25 acres of Island Retreat to enjoy! Fish House and Boat parking on-site.

The beach is awesome for playing with the kids, acting like a kid yourself, enjoying the scenery, taking a long stroll, a morning jog, reading a book, or delighting in the last rays of a gorgeous sunset. If you don't feel like getting sandy at the beach relax by one of the two pools or play some tennis, volleyball, shuffleboard or basketball.

Or simply treasure pushing your child in a swing on the playground as they giggle with enjoyment.

Port Aransas has some great restaurants for when you feel like eating out (or you didn't have any luck fishing).

If you feel like exploring there are plenty of options - scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, deep sea fishing, Aransas Wildlife Refuge and Whooping Crane Habitat or the beach!

Please note that while the listing frequently states "one night minimum" there are times throughout the year when we have more than a "one night minimum" even though it may say "one night minimum".

There is a 3% additional fee that will be due for payments made by credit or debit cards.

Cozy condo with fabulous view
Beautiful property, wonderful views. A cozy get away stocked with everything you can possibly need. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, hanging out on the patio and relaxing while watching movies at night. The open concept allows you to see the amazing ocean view no matter where you are. Host was welcoming and friendly. Can’t wait to visit again.

Great Condo!
The condo was very nice and clean and in a great location close to the beach. My only complaint and it was a big one for us was the master bed was SO uncomfortable. It had 2 huge, deep body impressions right where you would lay so that you would almost get stuck in them. Time to replace that matress!

Fun for all ages
We had kids, teenagers, and adults in our group. There was something for all ages. The proximity to the beach was perfect. Being able to walk to/from made it each to go back and forth throughout the day. The views of the beach and balcony were perfect for a the morning cup of coffee. The courts (basketball, pickleball, etc) were fun in the evenings (we brought balls with us). The place was spacious with a fully stocked kitchen, laundry in the apartment, and enough room for our party of 8 to each have their own space. Fantastic place and owner.

Nice get away
Roomy for our group of 8. Kitchen was stocked with the necessities. Highchair and portable crib for the 18 month old as well as infant silverware. Enjoyed the gulf view from the balcony. About a 5 minute walk to the actual beach from the condo itself, but you can always drive to it and park on it with a beach pass. (It's gonna take you about 5 minutes to get there by car, but it's always an option for dragging beach chairs, toys, and beverages.) Owner was kind and friendly with questions or concerns. Would stay again.

Enjoyed our family outing (all family members over 60) with plenty of space & privacy when needed. The elevator was a big plus for some who didn’t want to use the stairs and the beds were comfortable. Very well stocked kitchen if you want to do your own cooking. Great communication with the owner.

One of the best if not the best VRBO property we’ve stayed at! Clean, roomy, perfect location. I couldn’t find the door code on my phone so had to text Jane. I was embarrassed, but she graciously responded immediately. When the reviews say kitchen is well stocked they aren’t kidding. Anything you could want. You won’t be disappointed.

Gorgeous, roomy property right on the beach
This property is so beautiful with plenty of room. The kitchen is amazing and had everything needed and then some. Everything about it was nice…..good towels, sheets, pillows and we loved the dining area with a table large enough for all 8 of us. The decor is just so pretty! I felt like I could move in. The location was great too. The boardwalk is nice, and we enjoyed both pools as well. The property looked well kept with flowers blooming and common areas very clean. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful Views, Inside and Out
We have been staying at Island Retreat for 30 years. This is, by far, the nicest unit we’ve stayed in, with four bedrooms with comfortable beds, great ocean views, and a spacious living area area. The elevator wasn’t working when we arrived (someone had overloaded it), but Jane worked diligently to get it back up and running. She was exactly what you’d hope a host should be. Five stars all the way!

This unit is excellent. We loved the location - quiet but close enough in town for a quick trip to the grocery store or to grab a bite to eat. Very comfortable beds/linens with cute decor.
