I took my two 16-year-old daughters and 2 of their friends for a little girls' beach getaway. The condo location was great, right on the beach and the condo itself was super cute, comfy, clean and nicely decorated. The master bedroom was huge and the king bed was super comfortable. Our only issue was the TV in the living room did not work. I called to have it repaired but the property management company office was closed for the day. I called again the next morning and they sent someone promptly to repair it. It took him awhile to figure out what was going on and he eventually fixed it but unfortunately, the fix was short-lived and the tv stopped responding to the remote control again. We were very disappointed as we were looking forward to unwinding with a movie in the evenings after a long beach day and weren't able to watch it on the big screen tv. Other than that, everything at the condo was great!

We came in on a Thursday evening and the first night was hectic. The condo we were staying in had something wrong with the breaker box and we kept loosing electricity. Frank (the onsite maintenance) went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure we were comfortable! He gave us his personal cell so he could come flip the breaker throughout the night. Port A escapes offered to move us Thursday night but we just toughed it out because we have 2 chidden under 5 and they were already in bed. Friday morning we got a call that Port A Escapes was going to be moving us and made sure we were 100% taken care of. All of this was out of everyones control but the customer service with the staff at Beachhead and Port A Escapes made the trip great!

I was very impressed with the well stocked kitchen. I kept hitting my knee on the corner of the bed in the master bedroom, coming out of the bathroom, I stuffed a pillow between the bed and mattress, TV was to small. The condo was very clean and the staff we're very friendly and helpful. I was so happy that our rental was ready by 2:30. Thank you so much.

Except for the weather not being as good as would have liked, we enjoyed our stay in Beachhead Condos. The condo was well supplied and the rental company was extremely good at immediately taking care of any concerns we had. The updates made to the pool and pool area were fantastic! Looking forward to using the updated laundry area next year. The residents of Port Aransas were very welcoming!

Great condo with a short walk to the beach (bring a wagon) and a really great pool. Condo very clean and well maintained with a great floor plan. Would definitely stay there again.

The location of the condo was great. There’s a boardwalk that takes you to the beach. Overall, the condo was nice. The king bed was a bit wonky as it slopes to the right. The door to the balcony didn’t shut but we were on the second floor.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The space was adequate and the table was large enough for all 6 of us to sit around. We loved that we were able to walk to the beach just down the boardwalk.
The place was clean, but the sofas' finish was disintegrating. The 'fully stocked' kitchen was a little light on cooking utensils and cookware. Though the freezer kept the ice we bought frozen, it took the freezer took 3 days to freeze our drinks we put in when we arrived.
The fridge kept everything cold and was nice and large.
The beds weren't really that comfortable, and though the bed in the master bedroom was lovely, it had an attack foot board that we all have bruises on our shins from accidentally hitting it on the way to the bathroom.
Also walking up two flights of stairs was difficult esp. when loading and loading the cars. But we were happy with our stay.

It was a very nice clean condo. Close to the beach and a short walk to the pool.

The only problem we had was the master sink would not drain unless we unscrewed and removed the plate at the bottom of the sink. We told the maintenance crew on the property but they told us they would have to order a new part. The condo was very clan and well updated. The beach access was very close, although this particular unit did not have a great ocean view. None of the TV remotes worked, and it would have been nice to have a TV in the master bedroom. We booked a 5 night stay and were only provided 1 trash bag which was an inconvenience, although the maintenance man gave me a couple extra for the kitchen when I approached him about the sink.

Anonymous from Lubbock - Posted: 7/31/2016

Very nice. One suggestion that would have made it better: This unit needs some room darkening shades in both bedrooms because one bedroom overlooks the pool area which is highly lit up at night for safety; the other bedroom has blinds that do not close adequately.

Very nice condo. The distance is not too far from the beach and the pool is just around the corner. Just enough room for my family of 4. A short drive to shopping and restaurants. Check in/check out could not have been easier. All in all a very lovely stay.

We stayed in Under The Sea for 4 nights. We loved the location the most! Easy access to the beach was a huge plus! The only thing that was disappointin was that the remotes for the TV did not work (they weren't even the right brand) and there was a cable missing for the DVD player. We have a 2 year old, so in the afternoons, it would've been nice to havE been able to turn on a movie to relax. Other than that, our stay was everything we hoped it would be and more!

Our stay was very enjoyable. The condo was updated and very clean and the overall condo complex was kept in excellent condition - The trash cans were emptied every day, the BBQ grills cleaned out, and the pool was crystal clear. Our kids enjoyed the playscape and the walk across the boardwalk to the beach was both beautiful and an easy two minutes.

The unit was clean and nice. And being near town with a direct boardwalk to the beach is the big selling point. Also, the pool is very well kept and better than most of the condo pools in that area. However, don't plan on cooking if you rent this unit. There are very few usable cooking tools in the kitchen.

We recently spent 3 days with our 2 granddaughters at Beachead. Under the Sea #405 was a treat. Everything was updated, clean, well maintained, well managed and well stocked with everything needed to make our stay stress free. Perfect location with lots of amenities and quick access to beach and town, yet still very private. We have moved this unit to the top of our list for future visits.

Our family rented two condos from PAE for 2 days in Nov. The condos and the stay and the weather was really great. We know that the property company owns several condo properties down there so it may be hard for them to know what each specific room has as far as furnishings. When we called to see if specific rooms have specific items the staff did not know so it was basically a **** shoot if a room had a iron, hair dryer or a slow cooker ect or not. As customers we need to know what to bring. In my opinion a very simple solution would be to audit each room create an MS Excel worksheet mark off the items that each room has so it can be easily searched by room number with ease. Nice condos!

The property was great but management was a little rude and snoody. My daughters and I were swming in the pool five minutes after the pool closed we were asked to leave and the manager followed us down to the park area and watched us for At least 10 minutes. I felt like a child that was being disobedient. Not a way I want to feel while enjoying my vacation and amenities I paid for. Other than that experience the room and views were amazing.

This is a lovely unit. We arrived late Friday ans noticed the floors were very sandy. We called the management company the next morning and they sent cleaning staff right away. Very nice updates, nice private balcony view, pool is very clean and never crowded. Would rent this unit again. Now, for the negative: the couch in this unit is awful- you can't sit in it without it sinking all the way down above your knees. Also, there are no kitchen utensils to speak off- a few wooden spoons and a potato masher- that's it! So, cooking was a challenge. It would be nice to have a TV in the master bedroom.

Anonymous from SA - Posted: 7/19/2013

The condo was surprisingly comfortable, and had plenty of additional beds that we weren't expecting. The kitchen was clean and had plenty of clean utensils and plates. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the access to the pool. The internet didn't work very well at all, which was a shame. And we found the keys they provided to not work very well with the front door lock ... and it was annoying to struggle to lock the door each time we left the condo. Other than that, this was a pleasant stay!

We liked the condo, the king bed was very comfortable, and the trundle beds came in handy. The decor was updated and cheerful. Would have liked more of a view. The beach and water had a lot of seaweed, that was our only downside.

This was our first experience with Port Aransas Escapes and I have to say, it was a great one. The Condo was very nice and clean and was very close to shops, dinning, and grocery store. The grounds are well kept with a playground and direct beach access making it much very easy for our family to plan our day. The property was quiet and intimate and just what we were looking for.

This is second year I have taken my daughter and my two grandsons (ages 9 & 6) to Port A. They actually requested to return this year. We played in the surf w/skim boards, tubes, etc. Flew kites, built sand castles and looked for shells. Restaurants are close and good food. We especially liked the Brewing Company pizza place. Saw beautiful sunset from Virginia's by the Bay. The Coldwell Banker people we dealt with were wonderful and so very helpful. Condo was large enough for us all and couldn't have asked for a better location. My 6 year old grandson says that the excitement of seeing your condo for the first time and getting a feel for the place is one of his favorite things. You passed his test. See you all at Port A next year!
