The rooms accommodated everyone. We had a great time. We usually do this for a couple of summers we rent condos for all of the family. We had a family who wasn't able to attend. We stay at alot of different places. This was so perfect. Thank you

Overall the condo was good. The main problem was only one towel person for a3 night stay & not enough towels for kitchen. Also deck chair were very dirty.

We enjoyed our stay at the Beachhead property. The condo association continues to work on upgrading the grounds. The heated pool is much appreciated in February. The rental agency is most responsive to any requests. The weather was spectacular this year. We will be back.

I’ve stayed in this same condo since I came with my mom when I was younger. (Now my mom visits us on our stays.) You can see the ocean from the balcony, living area, and master bedroom. It’s clean, there’s games, and there are plenty of dishes and cooking necessities. My kids call it our home away from home.

We always stay at the same place when we visit. I prefer this particular condo BH 505 because you can see the ocean from your deck and the pool. They also extended the boardwalk and it takes you all the way to the ocean. I only wish it was more accommodating for larger families. The condo would be able to sleep more than 6, yet the maximum occupancy is 6. (We have six children.) The workers work hard to make sure the property is well maintained and clean.

I will most definitely be staying here again in the future! The condo was cute, clean, and there were plenty of beds, towels, and linens. The walk to the beach is a quick 3-5 minutes and it's on a boardwalk so you're not trudging through hot sand with all your stuff. They have an outdoor shower to hose off the sand before you go into your condo. The pool has an amazing pool house area with ping pong table and a kitchenette and lounge area, etc. Overall great stay and we will come back!

Lovely time in Port Aransas. Condo was clean and welcoming. We were glad to see that the internet was running better by the end of the month. We had nearly four days with no heat and a water boil advisory that went for a week. We appreciated information keeping us up to speed. When one is a visitor to an area you really don't know where to go for help. It was difficult finding out initially in what was a scary time. The community of Port A was great with helping to feed those of us in need. Extra blankets are always appreciated in circumstances like this. The condo association has been making efforts to maintain the property. Loved the heated pool for those of us that are there in winter months.

Close to the beach and clean. This is all that really matters and it’s both of those things. Lots of linens and plenty of dishes / Kitchen tools. The cellular service/ date and WiFi is bad but I think the whole island struggles with that. I didn’t realize there was no washer or dryer or garbage disposal Not a deal breaker but I’ll always confirm that future rentals have those Amenities.

The condo was completely furnished with all neccessesties for the kitchen bath which was great. Was very clean ... outside area was neat considering the other properties around us were still not clean up from Harvey but this location was fairly clean up outside..... Check in time would be so much better at 2:00 PM the 4PM is so late for the money you pay........

The condo was clean and neat. However, the refrigerator wasn't very cold during our stay. Other than that, I wouldn't hesitate to stay in Vista Del Mar again.
We'll be back next summer for sure!

We loved this condo! Our only complaint was we wish the living area had more seating so we
Could sit comfortably! Loved the kitchen table - we played cards one evening! There were 32 stairs to climb which doesn't seem like a bunch until you've done it 50x.

Rent a cart to ride around town in - so much fun!!! Overall loved this place!

The location was perfect. The unit was clean. The decor was cute. The property could use some updating, the playscpae was very old and the sand full of fire ants. The deck had rotten boards and the secondary tv didn't work. For the money it was worth it and we had a great time.

We enjoyed our time at Vista del Mar. The property was clean, well organised. Parking for guests could be crowded during busy times. TVs did not have consistent channels and the channel guide was incorrect. WiFi was not good the signal would not maintain on ipads. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Booked again for next year.

This was our third time to stay at the Beachhead resort, and every time just gets better. There is a full kitchen, if you want to save money by cooking "at home" some meals (we have, but didn't this trip). There is a playground on sand, great for little kids when you're not up to a full beach set-up. There is a pool, and it was warm enough in November that we could have swum. The property is a half mile to two miles from pretty much everything, and we spent the whole week darting to and fro in a beach buggy. Great views and really quiet when you're ready for down time, too.

We had a fantastic time. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and the beach access couldn't be better. Check in and check out were both easy, convenient, and low-key. The first thing we did when we got home was to reserve the same apartment for next year. No wifi but that was our only complaint.

Port Aransas Escapes provided very reliable and professional service. The link to the website they provided helped us to plan all aspects of our stay, including access to area activities. This was our first trip to the Port A area and we really enjoyed it. Location of the property and proximity to the beach and all conveniences was great, and the unit was in pristine condition.

I had to take my California born wife and daughter to Port Aransas to experience classic Texas coastal beauty. It had been 35 years since my last visit and was thrilled to see it was the same old Port A but with modern improvements. The condo 505BH at Beachhead condos was just what the Dr ordered. Right on the beach and laid out perfectly with classic beach theme, you could tell the owners take great pride in this unit! The folks at Port A Escapes were very friendly and gave us great advice on local rest scene. We rented carts for 2 days and never used our car after that, what a fun time cruising up and down the beach. Don't miss out on renting one of these fun vehicles. Can't wait to go back and get another much needed recharge to the old batteries.

My boyfriend, sisters, brother and his girlfriend rented the condo for a short weekend at the beach. The condo was clean and the grounds well kept. With both bathrooms only accessible through the bedrooms, I would recommend this particular condo for no more than 4 adults. It was also a bit awkward with one room housing two twin beds, but the setup would have been ideal for a family.

This condo is one of the best that I've stayed in at Port A. The décor is great and the kitchen was complete with everything that you need.

The reason I marked down for amenities is because the TV in the master bedroom did not work at all. When we called to have the maintenance guy check on it they took all day to come. Then told us yep it's broken we will have to get the owners to get a new one. So we didn't have one for the whole stay. Also, in the guest bedroom they did not have cable. The only options was to watch movies on a DVD. Which would have been okay had we known but did not bring any movies b/c we thought we would have cable.

We rented 3 different condos for our family reunion. We decided on these three based upon photos and speaking to the representative. However, we would have liked to have known that the room we wanted the best waterfront view actually had the worst. And we especially needed to know that all rooms were on the third floor. One of our guests was elderly, and several were very young children, so the extra flight of stairs made trips to and from the room quite difficult. Desk staff upon arrival did their job, but did seem a bit frazzled and not very happy or friendly.

We enjoyed our first time at beach with 3 very active little boys ages 4,5,and 6. they loved the playground and the pool. we enjoyed the beach it was a long walk on the pier and next time will take the car to beach front with all our beach apparatus we wanted to set up. the walk too and from beach was to much for us and all our chairs, toys and tent. we loved having a kitchen ,made eating in less expensive. HaHa
main thing read all the papers your given at check in great info on unit. yes its two flights of stairs, but we found different ways to cut down on stairs. I know its a big deal when stairs are not your thing. consider it a
mini vacation workout. we did. enjoy the moments. and the laughter of little boys enjoying the adventure.

My husband and I were extremely satisfied with the property overall, including location etc. The only complaint we and all other tenants we spoke with was the lack of internet service. In my opinion this can only harm your business as in this day of needing instant information access, word does get around about the poor service. THIS IS A MOST NECESSARY REQUIREMENT THAT NEEDS UPDATING ASAP

We love this condo! The location within the complex, the location on the island, and especially the very thoughtful and fun decor... Obviously a lot of love has gone into preparing this home-away-from-home for visitors. We were very comfortable, we made breakfast and one meal a day in the fully-equipped kitchen, and there was plenty of room to spread out when we needed some down time from each other, and then when we wanted to hang out together, there were cards and televisions with DVD players. It was a great stay! We'll be back, but only when this specific condo is available. :)

My best friend flew in from Cali after not seeing her for 5 years. Myself, Sister and friend drove from Austin and found the Condos very easily. To our delight the room was perfect. 1 queen and 2 double beds, a great view of the gulf from the balcony, and since we brought lots of food, we were very happy the kitchen was well stocked. We had a fantastic time. We will book again soon.

The location was perfect, and the condo was in very good condition - not immaculate, but clean. Enjoyed our trip immensely. The view from our deck was slightly obstructed, but we could see the Gulf from our location while sitting on the right side of the deck. I loved the covered parking; really cut down on the additional salt spray on the windows overnight when the winds would pick up. It would really be helpful to put an icemaker or at least ice trays in the freezer. Additional towels would be helpful as well - two towels per person for the whole week is really chintzy. Other than a few minor issues like those mentioned, the experience was very positive. We will most likely be back!

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was spotless when we arrived. A short walk to the beach that we walked to every day. No one complained about uncomfortable beds (4 teenage boys)!! There is a journal for all guests to write in and it turns out the owners are from our part of North Texas, and, a big Football rival of ours. We definately plan on doing this at least every year, and requesting this same room. GO CELINA BOBCATS!!!

The unit BH505 was very clean and comfortable during our stay. It was nice to have everything we needed with regard to the kitchen. It was well equipped for preparing meals.. The beds were ok, the furnishings made the place feel warm and inviting. Nice view of the beach and dunes from the right side of the balcony on this 3rd floor unit. I've stayed in 508 and though the view is better, it was not as updated as 505. Would like to try a 2nd floor unit next time, the above balcony would provide protection form direct sun. We love Beachhead and would reccomend to friends. Port A Escapes and the staff at Beachhead are very accomodating and friendly.

Also, I the 11am check out is just tooo early especially for Easter Sunday. I would think that during the off-season, that people should be able to stay until really late on Sunday (about 4pm). If you required a two-night stay and allowed for a late Sunday check out, your properties would be booked
