Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Perfect short vacation stay location and venue. Pictures online match what is in the condo. This condo was met all of our needs for our family of 6 (Grandparents, parents, and two grown sons). The short walk to the beach from the property was great as well as the common area pool. Plenty of dishes, flatware, cookware and cups to handle cooking in. Beds were very comfortable, all 3 bedrooms had TVs with streaming services. We asked ahead of time and were aware before arrival but in the interest of saving future vacationers time, bring your own beach towels, chair, overhead cover, and toys for beach activities. Overall great stay, highly recommend and will stay again. ##### Christopher M. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melinda P.

Oct 15, 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute Condo Getaway Very nice overall; and the property managers were great. Had a few problems with the housekeeping upon arriving, which was promptly taken care of. However, the kitchen was a bit lacking; I consider a hot pad/pot holder to be a necessity - and there was none; at least we couldn't find one. The rug in the kitchen had not been cleaned and both my sister and I pricked our bare feet on sticker burr remnants in it! Other than that, it was a very nice place to enjoy Port Aransas, and the management folks were personable and quick to respond. ##### Brenda M.

Apr 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet Place Of note, there were only 3 washcloths for 4 people. We had to buy additional Toilet Paper. Initially the Dishwasher did not work but We tried various things and got it going. No Corkscrew for Wine. There was a missing dowel for putting the Toilet Paper on in the Master Bath. And in the Master Bedroom We put the Door back on its track as it had come off. The configuration for TV Viewing in the Living Area was a bit off for Prime Seating (maybe the Couch could be across from the TV?). Would have liked more chairs on the Patio. We Enjoyed Our Stay. It was very easy and convenient for 4 Old Ladies. ##### Karen W. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amy O. Sep 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Unfortunate Check in was smooth and orderly. Unfortunately, our kitchen sink didn’t work at all. We didn’t report until near end of our stay since we figured we would just eat out. It was an inconvenience though. They came promptly to try and fix but we weren’t there when they came. It was Labor Day weekend and we wanted to enjoy the beach. They thought this inconvenience didn’t warrant any refund at all. In fact after a couple of communications I didn’t hear from them again. They offered 5% for a future stay but I’m not coming back anytime soon. Other than that - a shower handle was loose and a ceiling fan didn’t work. It also smelled of old moldy place. Not coming back here. ##### Amy O. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carole U.

Reviewer Comments: #63@ island retreat nice and clean and comfortable from top to bottom. However there were a few discrepancies. Thermostat was difficult to set. At night unit temp would register at 82 degrees, and even during the day we couldn't get comfortable. Sofa cushions and pillows had sickening odor, like body sweat or wet dog. We had to cover it with a blanket. Master bdrm king bed was exceptionally comfortable,the very best to sleep.also, we stayed a week and had no way to wash towels as there is no washer or dryer in this will cost you $4.00 to wash a very small load of towels in the laundry room. Poor linen service for what we paid to e management were concerned about complaints,and would look into making changes.probably would not rent this unit again. ##### Carole U. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna H.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location Location Location! Easy Beach and Pool Access from a ground floor unit. We did a Tue-Fri stay and the vacation couldn't have gone smoother. The check-in and check-out was completely contactless, didn't have to go by the office for anything. The unit is pretty basic but everything was in working order. We prepared all our meals at the unit, if your planning the same, recommend you bring extra trash bags and cleaning supplies as what they have is pretty limited, scrub brush was worn out, no dish washing liquid, we did find one brillo pad. Based on recent reviews, we were a little leery of bugs but very happy to report that we didn't see a one. During our stay, social distancing at the beach and the pool was very easy to do, not crowded at all at both locations. All in All, a great vacation and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property. ##### David N. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Elaine M.

The only issue we had was having to deal with bugs in every room, roaches, and other creatures. Island Retreat needs to hire reliable exterminators. If it weren't for the bug problem I would have rated 5 stars. ##### Irma L.

Reviewer Comments: It was maintained well, there were a few insects spotted, dead and alive. There could be a few more kitchen items included for that price, extra garbage bags, few more towels. It was quiet except for some kids stomping around upstairs, which is out of your control of course. Check in Time was delayed a little bit, but got in within an hour of the time they promised. Overall a great weekend. ##### Tim H. ### 8/10 Good #### Trudy S.

It has been a family tradition for more than 40 years and this year was great as always. The condo was clean and convenient to the beach and pool. If I had to make a suggestion it would be that we would have had more room for our own personal food and supplies. The rooms were well equipped but we needed to move things around a bit to fit in our own groceries and such. Overall it was a wonderful week. ##### Trudy S.

Jul 6, 2019 #### Disappointed in Management Company(not rental) Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrived the kitchen floor was wet and there was a towel laying next to the refrigerator that was soaked with water. We called Life In Paradise and were told that someone would come look at the fridge the next day(Saturday). When we came back from the beach Saturday afternoon, no one had come to check on the problem. At this point we were having to change out 4 towels every 2 hours to keep the floor from flooding. We called Life in Paradise again Saturday afternoon and told them no one had come by and we were having to use the owners beach towels, some of our own beach towels and the white guest towels to keep the floor from flooding. We were told soemone would be over in 15 minutes with more towels and also that no one would probably be able to come fix the problem until early in the next week. No one brought the towels and we literally spent the rest of our vacation rotating the towels every 2 hours. Also, the bathroom lights for the guest rooms went out and my husband would flip the braker, but they kept going out. The ceiling fan in the back guest room was not working, the back light on the porch was not working and the disposal was not working. There were also dead roaches ad bugs on the dishes in the cabinet. The actual unit was quite cute and ecclectic and was a good size for us. The mattresses were comfortable and we enjoyed the amenities. We liked the sand volleyball court and the pool. We liked that we could go out the back patio to the boardwalk. That was very handy. I was so worried the owner's kitchen floor was going to be damaaged and there was already water damage to their kitchen cabinets. I spoke to the owner of the unit above this one and she was going to report this to a "Terry". I believe she said that Terry is the president(?) for the resort. Again, the unit itself was fine. We loved the painting in the living room and even contacted the painter as he also lives in Austin where we live. ##### Amy D.
