Thank you for being our guest. We hope to see you again soon!
Staying Again!
by Dalia J.
It’s was amazing! Perfect view, the rooms were clean, and it was equipped with the necessities you need for cooking.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay! Please come again soon.
Arriving Before the Crowds
We stayed the first week in May. The interior was lovely, but slightly musty as it was the beginning of the season. Exterior is a little worn, but is very old school Port A for those of us who like that. Ocean view is a generous description - dune view is more accurate. In the kitchen they were short on glasses - 6 glasses and 4 cups for 5 people was a little stingy. Overall we had a great time and would go back.
Thank you for pointing out the deficiencies. We will rectify this right away and hope to see you again soon!

Perfect
Hope to see you again at Anchors Away soon!
An upgrade!
This was our 3rd year taking the family to Port A. This year we decided to get something closer to the beach and we’re pleased to have stumbled onto this property. Management is great, condos are private, beach access is perfect. I’ll be looking for this property next year exclusively.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Anchors Away!
Anchors Away was great location
by Toni O.
We had 3 of us for 5 nights (2 of those we had an additional person) in a very comfy 2 bedroom. Loved location, on back side facing dunes and walkway to beach. Nice to have our own balcony! Unit was clean and had enough essentials although we also purchased additional trash bags and cleaning materials we thought we may need. My only concern was AC. Maybe it was fixed but during day and even into the evening, although I set the thermostat down to 68 to try to cool it off, it would only cool to about 80. One bedroom cooled down but general area and one bedroom remained warm and I had to constantly live the one Dan around to stay comfortable. We called maintenance but he just said it seemed to be working://. As a result, I had some difficulty sleeping. The location is very close to everything: coffee shop, grocery, beach, restaurants. Other than the AC, it was a perfect trip!
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us!

Summer vacation
by Alecia B.
We had a great experience. Condo was close to the beach- a little dated, but good location and space. Checkin and checkout was very easy.
Thank You so much for staying with Port A Escapes!
It was what we needed
by Tanner C.

Thank You so much for choosing Port A Escapes! We loved having you stay with us and hope to have you back again!!

Worth the Money
by Brenda R.
The beds & pillows were very comfortable. The kitchen was well supplied. The view was amazing, able to see the moon rise and the sun rise. Stairs were a bit steep up to the unit. Great access to the beach, so convenient to everything in Port A.
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your condo. Hope to see you again soon.

Potty Aransas weekend
We loved the location and the condo was very nice.
All rooms were clean and beds are comfy.
The living room furniture is rather dated and a rocking chair needs cleaning.
It’s not a deal breaker as the condo is very cute.
Thank for you feedback and taking the time to leave this review. So please to hear you enjoyed your stay. Please let us know when you are ready to plan your next vacation!

A Very Nice Stay
by JAMES H.
The experience was very good overall. Issues with the door lock, wi-fi, and TV were addressed in a timely manner. The TV was particularly problematic because it would go in and out all through our stay. Technicians who responded were very polite and engaging.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are so sorry to hear of your troubles during your stay. We hope you choose to stay with us again in the future!
Another week of paradise
by Keith A.
Had great time. We stay here almost every year. Clean, great beach access, and view.

Close to town & beach
by Catherine G.
The location was great - easy access (boardwalk) to the beach, & offered a limited view of beach. The condo was pleasantly furnished- slightly dated. Clean & comfortable beds. Deck is narrow & long, facing East. The clubhouse & pool were very well maintained. My only real complaint is the lack of pots & pans - totally inadequate (saucepan with no handle, frying pan with scratched Teflon.
Thank you for letting us know about the cookware. We will be sure to remedy this. Please let us know if you have any issues during your next stay.

Great Place. Awesome pool area.
by Heather H.
We really enjoyed the condos. The pool area was really neat. Loved that there were 2 bathrooms, one in each room. Great view. Perfect location. Would stay here again.
Beachhead, Port A
by Ted T.
Mostly great
Port A Weekend Girls Trip
Perfectly located condo with a good amount of common living space, and more than enough room to sleep 3. Very clean and nice that there isn't carpet. Large balcony was perfect place to hand out in the afternoon.

Wonderful Experience!
by Christina L.
We had a great experience at Anchors Away! The condo was clean, nicely appointed, and was located ideally close to the beach with a beautiful view from the balcony. We can't wait to go back!
Great time at Port A
by Mary H.
If you wonder (as i did) whether you should come to Port A, the answer is YES. They are still recovering, but the condo was great and the beach was beautiful. This condo has an incredible view of the Gulf and is well maintained.
The greatest vacation ever!
by Christine W.
we were facing the beach from the patio and it was a beautiful view.
503 BH
Location of condo unit was great - closest to the beach and had a great view from deck. . Condo nicely furnished, beds were comfortable, everything was clean. People at Port A Escapes were very helpful . Coffeemaker was broken.
3 days at Anchors Away felt like a month away
by Hannah T.
Thought the couch was a sofa bed; it is not. MBR could use some back out drapes, there are dusk to dawn lights right outside. (or bring a sleep mask) Traffic was heavy delaying our arrival to 5:03 pm. So had to drive across the hiway to get the keys. Thought they were going to wait a few minutes for us but nope. Other than that it was absolutely Heaven and we can't wait to come back. It was quiet, relaxing, everything we needed. bring an aux cable it you want to stream video or listen to music. There is a blender tho it's not mentioned. bring your own "church key" if you need to open cans for pouring. Would highly recommend. Will be back!

Great Place to Stay in Port A
by JAMES H.
Our family found the facility well maintained and in an ideal location. Anchors Away 503BH was clean and in good condition. Rooms were spacious, and the very wide veranda provided a stunning view of each day's sunrise. The Port A app made checking in and out a breeze.
We are glad to hear you enjoyed your condo along with its view. Give us a call when you are ready to come back to Port A.

Beachhead Port A stay
by Russell W.
Stayed three nights at unit 503 at Beachhead. enjoyed the proximity to the beach and to town. Property was as expected. The unit we stayed in could use a little maintenance with some rust(expect some of course). Door to the balcony needs some repair and maintenance. Overall the unit was clean and met our needs.
Fun Place to Stay!
We've stayed at Beachhead many times when visiting PortA, but the first time in this particular unit (love the convenience of Beachhead with their direct boardwalk access to the beach, hoses and outside shower for getting the sand off everything and boardwalks to everything like the pool and back to your units. This unit was very clean, no carpet. Faces the water in one of the front units and is on the same level as the pool (so you can take the bridge across the unit closest to the pool and straight through to this building -- very convenient). It is however NOT on the top floor, so you can hear footsteps of the people above you. This unit had everything we needed to cook all our meals there, although no storage containers for leftovers (we always bring our own). There's no disposal in the sink, but does have the dishwasher, microwave, electric stove. The layout of the unit worked great for our family of 4 -- 2 twins in the front bedroom with their own bathroom and the master in the back with our own bathroom. Cable and wifi worked great too.
Good times
by Keith A.
We've stayed at beachhead condos a number of times and had a great experience every time. Only dislike is no pets policy.
ALWAYS A GREAT ESCAPE!
by Dephanie C.
Stayed in unit 503 for over 24+ years! Loved the updates! Gorgeous and so appreciated.
Especially enjoyed the tall stools/table combo on the deck for eating lunch and drinking wine. The Beachhead is never a disappointment! Port A has so much to enjoy: UT Science Ctr;bird-watching trails/parks.Ship-watching;dolphin watching boat rides and so much more!
SANDFEST 2016
OUR CONDO WAS GREAT. NEWLY REMODELED, COMFORTABLE AND VERY CLEAN. THE GROUND WAS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND ROOMY. THE LARGE POOL WAS NICE AND VERY CLEAN. I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO STAY THERE ON ANY FUTURE VISITS TO THE AREA. I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE.
I LOVE THE CONVENIENCE OF BRAUN'S CARTS BUT A LITTLE COSTLY. SKUTTLEBUTT'S BAR & GRILL WAS DELICIOUS.
Great Quaint property with a relaxing view!
by Veronica G.
We recently stayed at this property for Spring Break. As adult vacationers, it was important to us to have easy beach access, great relaxing views and full kitchen/bbq amenities. The rental is well maintained. There was four of us and we were comfortable. I would recommend this unit. The property managers, Port A Escapes for amazing to work with. Harry is now my personal "Escape Artist"!
Thanks all!

The best
by Elizabeth F.
we love it. and will come back had the best time ever.
Anchors Away Rental
This rental was in a great location in town, had a wonderful balcony and plenty of indoor space being a two bedroom, two bath. It would have been helpful to have better signage from the road and also to have hand soap in the unit, even if it was a very small bar rather than two make-up remover toilettes.
Perfect place with a fabulous view
by lea s.
We are a family of 5. 3 kids. We LOVED this condo. The location was perfect for nightlife and also the beach. This complex was very clean with all the amenities.
The condo was clean, with great appliances and furniture. I loved sitting on the back porch and seeing the ocean over the dunes. Will try and make it back for sure!
Great vacation with family
by Sara G.
We had a wonderful stay. We stayed in another unit in Beachhead a few years ago and liked this unit much better. It has lots of nice updates (master shower, kitchen). The only thing we didn't like was the slow wireless/internet speed.
Overall this is a great place to stay--private boardwalk with short walk to the beach and a great view. I already miss the sound of the waves!!

Fun time
by Becky D.
We had a wonderful time with some friends! It was a perfect location, beach access was a 3 min walk by a boardwalk. The condo was comfy and clean. We will definitely be going back!

Fantastic Accomodations!
We enjoyed our stay at the Beachhead Condos... the condo was roomy, very clean and especially convenient.

A Short Two Days
by Barbara A.
The property was accurately described by the management team. It was very clean and the décor was new. Our girls' trip + Marshall was fun. The only problem was, we needed to stay another day because we didn't have enough beach time, but then, it's never enough.
August 16, 2014 - Escapia
Great Get-Away.
We enjoyed a great location and a lovely rental unit.
Great-
by Patricia B.
We have stayed at Beachhead most every summer since 1986 or 87. Always a good expierence. The only problem is that the rates have gone up so much that we may need to find another alternative. Master bath shower had no hot water. No garbage disposal.

by Kathleen B.
This was a really great condo !! Thank you.
Anchor's Away!!
by Raymond and Jill F.
Great location and beautiful view! Palmilla Golf and Resort very close. A really challenging and fun course to play.
Anchor's Away Condo
Stayed at Anchor's Away during the 2014 Sand Festival. The property was clean and comfortable. The only problem we had was the lack of seating for 4 adults. The condo advertises that it sleeps 5 and there are 6 chairs for the dining table, but only a loveseat and one armchair in the living room. We had to bring a patio chair from outside to accommodate seating for all 4 adults. Other than the seating problem, we had a lovely time and would stay in this complex again.
Winter getaway
by Jerry Z.
Spent 6 weeks in Port A to escape the winter weather back home. Second year @ Beachhead Condos. Love the location. Unit was very comfortable, staff was responsive to our needs. We will be back.

Great stay, wonderful location!
by Sandy S W.
We had a wonderful time, despite the rainy cold weather. The condo we stayed in was very comfortable and highly enjoyable. The beds were all very comfortable and we slept great. We will definitely recommend this location and will be returning in the spring. I can't say enough about it! Great! Great! Great!

Great Place with the view~
by Monica L.
I really loved this unit. The view was perfect. I liked the updated space with nice furnishings. The only complaint with the unit were the beds. I am not a fan of soft beds, so it hurt my back to sleep on it. I am sure other people like the soft beds, so this is purely personal preference. The other issue I had was the late check-in. There was not an address given for the unit (on any of the paperwork). I had to figure it all out in the dark at 8:30pm. Also, not a fan of the lock boxes. Took us forever to figure out how to open them.

Good Stay but Not at First
by Edmund C.
Originally had us staying in 502 but the room smelled of stale cigarette smoke. We were not happy. We got moved to room 503. The room was great and made our stay a happy one. The management was more than helpful in making our stay a comfortable. I can recommend Anchors Away - Clean - close to beach and shopping.

We will be back when it gets warm
by Wayne E.
My youngest son, three grandsons, and myself spent 3 nights here in November. Everything was great except for the weather and fishing. The condo made it a great weekend for us or it would have been awful. Proximity to the beach and the rest of PA made it great. We will be back.

Long overdue escape
by Don C.
Our little excursion was a pleasant and relaxing getaway for our family, just long enough for us to forget the real world for one day. We love the Texas coast, the one thing that could have made it better would be and extra T.V. for the kids in the bedroom to watch while the adults watch and converse in the living area watching adult programs. Next time I'll ask in prior to reservation, other than that great place! We'll be back.

Serendipitously found the best condo in town!
by Aaron Y.
We only went off of internet reviews and images of condos for rent, and were shocked to find out how great this place is once we checked in. Lovely exterior, great location, and amazingly new and clean interior. Further, we were the closest condo to the beach out of the whole complex and had an ocean view! Great place and will stay again.
Perfect for a beach vacation.
This is a great location for a beach vacation. Everything in the condo was great. Slight problem in the master shower was reported and will hopefully get fixed for the next users.
IWHS Faculty Retreat
The members of my staff that stayed in the condo were happy with its size, amenities etc.
Back Home Again
by Tamara S.
I have chosen this same unit for two years in a row for its proximity to downtown while still being able to see the water after looking over the dunes. There's nothing fancy about this property, but it has everything you need. The dedicated parking spots are nice, too.
Beautiful & Best Beachhead 503
by Rita P.
Beachhead 503 was the best! The remodeled kitchen and baths were beautiful! The high directors chairs on the porch provided the best view of the beach! The recliner was in a perfect spot by the window was so comfy! We are definitely requesting this room next time we visit!

Mini Vacation
Checked in on Sunday, left Friday. I liked the condo being on the end closest to the beach. It was furnished nice and the four of us had a great time just relaxing. December is a slow time of year so never had to wait at a restaurant for dinner. There were some restaurants closed and only open on weekends but we found plenty open during the week. Will come back again this time of year.

Great Stay in Port A!
by Raellen M.
We had a wonderful time in Port Aransas. The condo was awesome and we would definitely recommend it to anyone.
July Family Vacation 2012
by Christina R.
The only thing that would have made this rental better is supplying towels we only had 4 towels in our room and were told that no daily clean towels would be provided, so the continued use of the washing machine was needed. It would be nice to have the towels supplied again like they were in the past.
Thanks,
The Roberts' Family
Great View
Location of this unit was great. Beautiful view of the ocean and easy walk to the beach. Unit was great and good size.
Nice Family Spot Close to the Beach
by Denise N.
The property was perfect size for our family of four. Close proximity to the beach and nice pool a short walk away. Beds were comfortable, kitchen okay (bring your own specialty utensils or cookware). Items to note: this is a second floor property; there is a door leading to outside in the kid's (2nd) bedroom - we just blocked with the dresser.

Lovely. lovely, lovely
by Rosy H.
This condo was by far the nicest place we have ever rented in Port A. It has been nicely updated and has every upgrade you would want. The view was fantastic and the location was perfect for us. Our bed was very comfortable and even our bedspread smelled lovely. The gentleman at the office who booked our stay made the process a breeze. All in all, we never want to stay anywhere else.

We stayed here with our kids and would definitely stay here again
by Kevin C.
The property was clean and well kept and the few interactions we had with the property management company were professional and met our needs. The only issue we had with the room was the outside door in the 2nd bedroom since that is where our 3 year old
slept, but we move the dresser against the door and it was not a problem.
A Fantastic Stay
by Guy W.
We are a family of 4 (children aged 4 & 9). Stayed for 4 x nights in Jul. Booking & check in could not be easier - no hassle, no delay, easy to find. Condo clean and exactly as pictured on the Website. Walk to the beach literally 5 mins - very safe beach, no rip tides and sandy all the way. Local area has plenty of good places to eat. We choose not to do any activities (trips etc) as the kids were so content on the beach. Ease to and from beach meant we could come and go during the day (leaving the chairs etc on the beach), which allowed us to get the kids out of the sun for a while and grab a beer before heading down for sunset and a night walk. In summary our very active kids loved the beach and the sea, and we relaxed more than ever because in terms of parenting this is easy money - loved it!
Beachhead is a starting to be a tradition on the 4th of July....
by Roxanne R.
The only thing that needs improvement is a maid service to provide toilet paper, clean towels daily and trash pick up daily with new bags provided.
Our fave getaway.
by Suzanne K.
This was our second visit to Beachhead. This room was by far our favorite. It was very comfortable and welcoming. Can't wait to get back there!
Beachhead
We all had a great time staying at Beachhead. Clean condos, very nice staff, and was easy to walk down to the beach or swim at the pool. Very relaxing and can't wait to come back.
What a wonderful stay
Our first family vacation since we had our kids, who are now 2 and 4. We were nervous traveling away from familiar places with the girls, but the condo was wonderful. The property was great and we will hopefully be returning next summer.
Great condo for the most part
by John M.
The property was beautiful, clean and the managing staff was very helpful. We were disappointed on arrival to find that the spare bedroom had an outside entrance, as we have young children. Also would have liked high chain locks on the doors so it wasn't as easy for the kids to exit the condo.
