Blue Crab BH107

My family and I have been going to Beachhead for several years. This time our condo had a faulty sink. Maintenance were there to help right away but they couldn’t do much until we vacated. Needless to say we didn’t get to make any of our meals and I hand washed everything we used. Not a big deal but for the expensive cost, not ideal. We stayed 4 nights which can get costly but we will return. We will just book a different unit.
Also, the previous guest left tuna remnants in the garbage disposal. Cleaning crew need to do better there. Took me awhile to get that smell out. I always bring Lysol and extra cleaning supplies just in case.

Property not in quite as good condition as pics make it appear. Overly decorated but comfortable.

Perfect place to stay on a family vacation. Walk to beach , private clean pool for guests and game room. Place is close to all restaurants and shops .

We love Beachhead. This rental was cute, however the main bedroom door was a shutter door. It was hard to open and close. No privacy. The two chairs at the end of the bed are a waste of space. Other than that, the stay was great.

We had a great time. The condo was very nice and had fantastic views of the gulf. Sunrise was beautiful. Very close walk to the beach. At this time of year, September, not at all crowded in town or on the beach. For a great getaway with very good accommodations, I would recommend this condo.

Being A short walk away from the beach was wonderful. Rental was clean and very nice. My only negative comment is the sheets were very rough. Also would be nice if they included chairs you could take to the beach. Overall wonderful place would go back

Overall we had a good time at this condo. The proximity to the beach is great, the pool is less than exciting, I wouldnt have booked 3rd floor with my three small kids had I realized it was 3 flights of stairs, the doors to the master bedroom have shades on them the kids could flip up (not ideal), the balcony said it was under construction so we couldn't have our coffee out there and watch the sunrise as intended with the amazing view and we weren't made aware of that in advance. The bunk beds were great for our littles. None of the tv apps were working, and you could only turn down the ac to 72.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The condo was very clean and had plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, etc, although hand soap would have been nice to have in the bathrooms. The view of the gulf was awesome, but we were disappointed the balcony was off limits. We were never told why, but it would have been nice to be able to use it. The bunk room was awesome for our kids! The only things I would suggest to make this a better stay would be a more comfortable bed in the main bedroom with sheets that actually fit and new living room furniture. The wicker furniture was not very comfortable. We loved the pool and how it had a view of the gulf as well. Great location and beach access was a huge plus. No need to rent a golf cart!

Thank you for your feedback, so sorry you didn't have access to the balcony, they are being inspected for the safety of our guests. We hope you will stay with us in the future.

The reservation email made me cautious since it didn’t show to have many amenities which I was supposed to bring to the place on top of offering an “optional insurance” for broken stuff (this should just be added to the rental price). But when we got there everything was pretty good, they just need to add some coffee filters

Beachhead is a great place to stay as everyone is so friendly and the staff is very helpful. Our unit #107 was very clean and we have booked for next year.

We had a lovely time, the condo is well situated and you can view the ocean from the deck. Very well appointed, and the pool was beautiful. The only thing I would ask for is a more comfortable bed. The property manager Frank, was extraordinary, our car wouldn't start and he went out of his way to help us. I would rent it again.

This is our second time staying in 107. We enjoy watching the ships coming and going from afar. There is a nice boardwalk over the dunes for easy access to the beach. There is a nice heated pool. The unit is well stocked and Is nicely decorated. The only minor negatives to us would be the old uncomfortable but clean couch cushions and the poor WiFi. So many positives and we will return.

Check in was easy. Place was clean and well kept. Nice view off deck and out of windows. We were there in of season and was very quite. Could see how could be noisy in peak season with people running up and down wooden stairs.

The condo is absolutely beautiful with a wonderful view of the water. The only thing I didn't like about staying here is the fact that new towels were not brought daily to our condo and with 6 people staying together in one condo, it was rough trying to figure out whose towels were whose.

We enjoyed our month long stay at Beachhead. Our condo was spotless and well stocked. Great views from the many windows. Easy boardwalk access to the beach. Nice swimming pool area which is heated in the winter. It has a good locatiin on the beach and is close to town. We had a great month’s stay in this recovering area and have already booked for next January. Port A Escapes provided prompt service with any needs.

My husband and I stayed here 4 nights. The space is clean, well stocked, comfortable, and the balcony is great. The pool area is very nice also. the walk to the beach is short and easy. There is a playground in the center of the complex and you could possibly grill with charcoal there. Plan on bringing your own beach chairs, towels, etc. Also, get a map to the location when you check in. At night it’s very hard to find. Port A is still recovering from the hurricane so be prepared to see remnants of buildings. We love it there!

The property was fantastic. Only negative is that the cushions on the sofa and chairs in living area are worn and need recovering. Port Aransas Escapes is the best Property Management Company hands down. They are very professional, great service, communication, and very attentive to your needs. I will never stay at properties not managed by them.

I have been coming to Beachead for the past 7 summers and have never been disappointed. I stayed in the Blue Crab this year for a girls' getaway with longtime friends. The Blue Crab provided everything we needed. It was clean, convenient to the beach and has a beautiful view of the ocean. I'll be back next year!

We loved this condo. My favorite part was the view of the gulf. My kids absolutely loved the double bunk beds and the pool. My family of 5 had plenty of space. We'd go back!

This property, the amenities and our overall experience was better than we could have expected. The Condo was really nice and comfortable with more than adequate amenities. It really felt as comfortable as you would expect being in your own home. The beach/ocean view was spectacular!!! We're talking about returning next year... The property as a whole, we were pleased! It's a nice, quiet community with beach access at about 100 yards depending where you're located. They are still making repairs as you would expect after the hurricane but it didn't affect our stay at all. VRBO listed the property with a pool two months ago and up until two days before our stay it was empty but ready by the time we got there. Port A escapes was very helpful and accommodating regarding this concern. It felt like we were so close to everything... I would highly recommend this property!

We showed up on the week after spring break. The place was empty. No wait at any of the stores. The apartments we were at only had 1 person staying there and the owner. We didn't see anyone else except for workers. The beach was picked up and not crowded at all. Plenty of golf carts to rent. Perfect time to go if you are a family not looking for the party scene. If you are single and looking to make friends to party with, this would not be the time to go.

Nice place close to the beach, really nice decorated, comfortable beds, the kitchen was completely equipped. A lot of light witch we loved, is really close to the pool as well, only a few steps and you are there. The only issue that we had is the dishwasher didn't work and start leaking water all over the floor. The wood floor was uneven close by the kitchen, so I'm thinking is not the first time. I Called the main office and they sent maintenance, then the maintenance guy said that he need to called the dishwasher guy. So that was on a Friday and we stay until Sunday. We never saw the dishwasher guy coming in, so we just wash everything or use paper plates. Also the apartment had only two rolls of toilet paper. really guys! ...... Any way other than that we had a wonderful time. I'll stay again there is really nice, I'll just make sure the dishwasher is working first!

The condo seem mostly updated which made it very nice to stay in. Only thing I would do is update the second bathroom. They shower had lower water pressure. Like with most places I would recommend getting good mattress. The main bedroom has great ones but the other full bunk beds cold be better for adults. But overall we had a wonderful time staying there. It was exactly what you described. Love that it was quiet and easy access to the beach! Close to all the food areas. We would be happy to stay there again! Price was affordable for the time of the year!! Thanks again look forward to another trip to Port A!!!

Good location and close to the beach. Had the great time stay here. However, mattress and bedding were old and smell like mildew, especially in the master bedroom.

This was a hassle-free stay! We took our son and husbands mother down for 4 days and had a great time. Very comfortable condo with plenty of room. Beds were comfy and the one issue we had with the water was out was fixed in less than an hour. Easy keys pickup and drop off. Would definitely stay again!

It was a good experience. The only suggestion is solid doors on the master bedroom and more parking. We had four vehicles and a boat that couldn't got. Other than that everything worked out great!!

The condo was great! The kids loved the bunk beds.. The view was spectacular... Clean and well maintained
The only thing I though that could use an update was the silver wear and a few lots and pots.. Otherwise a great condo!! Would definately go again... Close to the beach with a perfect walkway...

First I want to say we really enjoyed our stay.
I just wanted to point out a couple of minor maintainence issues.
1. The towel bar in the 2nd bath needs to be re-installed. It seems like the parts are all there.
2. the rug in the kitchen may need a anti-skid mat.
3. the lock box was a little tricky to figure out.
Thank you, we'll be back.
