Thank for your feedback! We are so pleased you enjoyed the location of Beachhead Condos! We hope to see you again soon!

We have stayed in this condo before and decided to rent it again. This time, a few things were a little shady--the lock on the front door was very difficult to work with and required both hands going in two different directions. The AC was okay but we were quite hot in the bedrooms two of the three nights, even after adjusting it down. I do think they could spring for something better than the absolute worst paper towels and toilet paper. The paper towels just shredded when you tried to use them--they were paper thin--a little thing that really makes a difference. We and others had trouble with the gate going to the board walk. The pool was absolutely filled with a large family when we tried to use it--and half of them were not wearing wrist bands so I guess they came and met the group that was staying. With all their kids it was impossible to use the pool--there was just no room to get in! We've stayed at Beachhead at least five times but this might be our last time there, as there seem to be better options nearby.

We enjoy coming to Beachhead for its cleanliness and closeness to the beach. I believe this was our 4th trip to Beachhead in the last 2 years and plan on coming back in July. Out only disappointments this time was that we were not aware that the patio to our unit BH303 was closed and we could not access. We were not made aware of this prior to our arrival. We also, did not have a TV that worked or internet service, I understand about the internet not working as stated on the information sheets, but there was no TV, said it had to be re-activated on the screen. So, with no patio or TV there was not much to do at the condo at night.

So sorry to hear about the issues that you had during your stay. Hopefully during your stay at Beachhead next time the patios will be open for everyone to enjoy the beautiful views of Port A beaches! Thank you for staying with us, and please give us a call the next time you're planning your next trip!

The room was fantastic! Clean and updated very nicely. We were really impressed with the condo. The property is very nice and kids loved the pool and game room.

We loved that the unit was the closest in the complex to the beach and also a short walk to the pool along the wooden walkways. Also a big fan of the new rec room and laundry room onsite!

Loved the old school Port A vibe- reminds me of my childhood. Awesome oceanfront location and boardwalk to the beach. The swimming pool and game room are fantastic-on a hill overlooking the gulf with a constant breeze. Nice poolside sitting area with some shade and comfy furniture. The condo comfortably accommodated my family of 6.

We recently stayed at Sunrise 303. While we generally enjoyed the experience, there are some things that would have made it a much more pleasant stay. First I'd like to say that the customer service has been nothing short of excellent. Every interaction we had was very pleasant, and our issues were handled quickly. The grounds, architecture, and convenience of location were all excellent. The pool and gameroom are first rate, and the grounds are well taken care of with quality bbq grills and a nice fish cleaning house. Unfortunately the room itself left some things to be desired. The doors on the master bedroom would not stay shut on their own, and a latch system had to be used effectively locking the door while inside. This created a degree of frustration with the door either swinging wide open or being locked shut. The towel rack in the master bedroom was broken too. In the living room, the wooden floors were significantly warped, and the outdated furniture was worn out and had a musty smell. With internal improvements, this is undoubtedly a first rate condominium. Unfortunately however, we felt like it was rushed to be open without a full renovation that was obviously necessary. Hopefully improvements will be made for future guests.

We would not likely stay at Sunrise 303 again. The negatives simply outweigh the positives, and our usual condo has made significant renovations post-hurricane. This place has a lot of potential, but it needs work.

The rental was nice and was located by the beach. The swimming pool was great and enjoyed the my stay. Only problem was the cockroach s in the kitchen. There is a large cockroach that comes from behind the stove and didn’t kill it

Good experience, close to beach access, Made reservation by phone. Not informed about 2 sets of bunk-beds in one of the bedrooms inconvenient for 6' adults,
Too much furniture, Furniture Too big for condo size

Overall it was a great time. I love staying in a condo that has a boardwalk to the beach.

Great week in Port A! The exterior of the condo looked a little weathered, but inside was fully renovated, completely restored, nicely furnished and painted with calming sea green with white trim. Definitely a tropical escape!��
Went to the beach each day from 4:00 till sundown. We were lucky: no jellyfish, flies or seaweed. Perfect. Plenty of restaurants open and IGA had all grocery needs. Will recommend Beach Head 303 to friends!
Still much to repair on the island. Bring tourist dollars and help Port A be even better than before!

The condo was clean, comfortable and spacious. The bathrooms have recently been redone and are very nice. The patio has a great beach view and it is very relaxing to sit out there after a day at the beach. Would definitely recommend this condo and will be booking it again in the near future!

We had a great stay at the Beachhead Condos. Everything was clean and nice. Check in and check out was very simple and easy. I wish we could've stayed longer!

I will start off by saying that we came to the beach with the intention of just sleeping in the condo not spending all of our time there.
Overall the condo served us well, it was clean, convenient and the AC worked good.
As soon as we stepped in the mold smell kicked us in the face, we instantly wiped all the wood furniture down to reduce the smell. Theres not a trash can or bags in the kitchen, the chairs on the porch saw their last summer last year, and the king size bed seemed a little short. WE will come again, just think a few things should be taken care of.

After years of wintering in our motorhome, we suddenly found ourselves in need of a condo for our Port A stay. Port A Escapes directed us to Beachhead where we have stayed for the past 2 winters. There are a variety of styles and upgrades within the resort as each owner is responsible for their unit. Unit 303 was clean & comfy with a beautiful view of the Gulf. We met a number of really nice folks who regularly winter there. The staff, led by Cynthia is friendly and extremely helpful. We will be returning to Beachhead again in 2016.

The condo is very spacious and well appointed. It has everything for a perfect stay. The complex is quiet and the view from the balcony is unbeatable. The only negative is the smell of creosote from the , which is common in many older properties in Port A that used creosote treated wood as their foundations.

We always have a really nice time at Beachhead. The wifi didn't work and we have had that problem in the past. the cabinet doors were backwards. Opening toward the walls instead of against it which is kinda weird and awkward. Should be an easy fix. Hopefully someone will. the microwave was pretty lame but overall the condo was clean and offered the amenities that I was looking for. when I called the reservationist, she was kinda rude both times. almost refusing to help me and referring me to the website when all I needed was a quick question to ask both times.

The property was very clean, our condo #303 at beachhead was very comfortable very close to the beach, the only draw back couldnt take our shitshu with us had to leave him behind, when we would see others walking with dogs on the premises..oh well..would recommend this property to family and friends

Great stay over all. It was very relaxing to take a short vacation,in Port Aransas, just after Christmas. The condo was spacious a bit outdated but more than adequate. The only downside is, we would have liked to stay longer.

The condo we stayed at was a bit older. The AC had a hard time keeping up one of the really humid nights. The wifi was out all weekend. That being said, The location was marvelous. We spent the majority of our time on the beach and grilling outside. The Condo's location and beach access allowed our family to have a blast. The pool was great too.

At first we were very pleased with the property, noticing its cleanliness. But when neighbors moved in upstairs, we noticed how easily we could hear there every movement, walking, jumping, doors closing. Therefore the 3 star rating on general condition. Also, I felt that the check in process was confusing : we showed up at the property and were told rather rudely that we had to go to the main office to check in. Bottom line, I will recommend it to others with lots of warnings.

I've been staying at Beachhead for 20 years and it hasn't changed a bit. I mean that in the best way. The condos are spacious and delightfully kitschy, the grounds feature grills, picnic tables, horseshoe, etc., and the large pool and proximity to the beach is great. Unit 303 doesn't have the most modern amenities (no wifi) but it's in a good location with views of the dunes and sea. The one complaint I have about Beachhead is that there is minimal-to-no front desk service now that Port A Escapes manages rentals. Otherwise, I highly recommend this condo.

The weekend we were in Port A was a cold, windy one but the views from the rental property were unimpeded by the weather. The unit was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing stay, our condo was right upfront and we had a nice ocean view. I brought my mother, husband, son and grandson...3 generations and we had a wonderful time. The beach is just a short 3 minutes walk, and there is outdoor showers to clean off sand and the pool was well kept, large and clean. The only small downside was that we brought our stuff to play tennis but the tennis courts were not not playable, no enclosure or nets. But we still had a great time.

My family and I had a great time at the Beachhead Condominiums. Location was great, pool was clean and it was located in a section of the island that was legal for you to drive a golf cart. We will be going back!

Our group had a wonderful time. The only suggestion I have is to replace the locks in the doors-they are very old and some do not work. We have been coming to Beachhead for over 25 years and were very glad to see the improvements that have been made within the last 5 years. We wouldn't think of staying anywhere else.

You cannot beat the location! Everything in the condo was fine,but the bathrooms are pretty tiny. Only issue we had was not getting a late checkout when requested because they had a lot of condos to clean. I felt it would have been easy to do mine later in the day and give us the 2 extra hrs. When we turned our key in, they wanted us to stay another night for a discounted rate. Why couldn't we get late checkout, then?

We had a fabulous view of the dunes and water. The condo was immaculate. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the bathrooms had extra towels. My family couldn't have been happier at a 5-star hotel. I fact the condo was by far better.

Yes, I would stay here again, but there were a few things I'd hope to be different.
First, the cable was not hooked up and in fact had a broken connection. The building management acted very fast and repaired it so we were able to get a few channels - it rained a full day while we were there :|
The wifi signal was very weak and required a login/password that was very different from what was posted on the reference sheet in the kitchen. I normally don't bring work to the beach, but had to get some deliverables sent out before I could enjoy myself.
On our last night night there, we were visited by the biggest, fastest cockroach I'd ever seen. We did not manage to catch it as it moved too quickly under the furniture. Needless to say, we slept with the lights on that night !
The location was perfect, we had a very short walk on the boardwalk to the beach, where I have never felt sand so powdery. The waves were fun and allowed for lots of body surfing. We can't wait to return to our beach getaway!

I am a real estate agent in the Austin, TX area & really enjoyed our girls trip to Port A. Brenda was very personable over the phone, it was great putting a face with the friendly voice & professional manner. The condo we rented was clean, safe, in a great location, easy access to the beach & the unit was in wonderful condition. I plan to go back with family & stay at this same location. Many properties around Port A are not as nicely kept & are in poor condition - this one was excellent!

We spent 3 night at Beachhead in July. It was a wonderful place. Great location, nice pool, playground for the kids, short walk to the beach. We plan on returning. We actually stayed a couple more days because Beachhead didn;t have any availability. We stayed at a place that was twice as much per night but not nearly as nice.

You need plugs in both bathroom. There is no way to dry or style hair. Blankets need washing after each guest. They had an odor. All in all everthing was great.
