*Tropical storm time. Yes, it is a part of life here, but we understand and know that some guest get a little nervous. The good thing is we are on the 2nd floor, so we just watch the cars and golf carts wash around. "IF" a storm does come to the coast our standard cancellation policy will be in effect unless there is a mandatory evacuation by the city of Port Aransas. If there is, you will be prorated on time stayed, minus cleaning fees.

This was our first time to this property and we WILL be back. We had family with us and our new grandbaby, the entire condo was so accommodating and the host communication was on point! Many family members stopped by and wanted to know all about our accommodations because they loved it!

Good for a beach vacation

Just spent some time in Port Aransas, enjoyed the condo. It had all the basic things needed for our week stay. Only complaint was the downstairs neighbors dog. He really enjoyed barking at anyone that walked by.

This place is a gem!

We have stayed here twice now, and loved it both times. It is close to everything - including the beach! Beds are very comfy, air conditioner works great, (clean) pool and bbq pit are close, balcony is relatively private, parking is plentiful, and the condo is very spacious and cute! The hosts are very nice and responsive, and it has all the appliances, kitchenware, and towels you could need. Love it!

Excellent!

Wonderful stay for our family of 6! Great community as well as other vacationers that we met along our stay. Precisely as described and appreciate the little extras; crockpot, great cooking pans, fans, beach towel hooks at the entrance, comfy beds, plenty of linens and the shower heads…my boys sure did love them. The balcony is serene and a wonderful spot to take in the sea air. The coast is a short walking distance, enough so that we were able to enjoy it morning, afternoon and evening. Will definitely be back!

Pleasant Surprise

While the outside is plain compared to other places the inside was awesome! Clean, roomy, had everything needed. Soft sheets & towels & comfy beds. Pool was great & while there may not be a board walk we were right by the sandcastle beach access road & also close to everything. Price was wonderful & our friends rented a big house that was beautiful & had a board walk but was much further out & extremely pricey & when they came to visit us at our place they were envious! Owner was very responsive & wonderful!

You really didn’t need to. Ring much. These spot had everything you’d want from Home . Very cute dec

Great place, great location. You can’t really walk to the beach from here, better off driving with all your stuff. But this place definitely felt like a Perfect Beach Home. Your next to the pool. My onlu suggestion is bring ear plugs if your in front bedroom. Those golf cart riders pass by till at least 3am. Other than that it was perfect.

Great Stay

Great condo to stay in. We stayed in “off season” in September. It was quiet. Cozy. Really good communication with owner. I absolutely loved the many pillows and blankets provided. It was clean, close to beach access roads. Lots of restaurants near by. I think the only downside was there was no washer/dryer but our stay was short so we were okay. And also the ferry wait was an hour long. But that’s not the condos fault. More location related. I would 100% recommend to stay here.

Beautiful Place for Family

Had a wonderful summer vacation with the grandkids. Beautiful decorated place just like it was described. The condo was very "Clean". Plenty of room for are party of 7, (4 adults and 3 children), the bedrooms were large, master bedroom had a king size bed and still had plenty of room to walk around, the living room had 2 soft sleepers and when pulled out still had plenty of room to walk around. Having 2 restrooms was a plus and had more then enough towels for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and more. The balcony was beautiful and large. Had parking right outside the door and enough for our rented golf carts. Would love to come back and rent again. Thank You for a beautiful place for my family to make beautiful memories.

Pictures don’t do this place justice

We absolutely LOVED this little place. Totally perfect for my family. I think it took us 1.5 min to get to the beach access road and 3 min to our favorite island pizza place. Off the main road which was nice because there was no bother with traffic noise , but close to everything. This place also had everything!!! The beds were THE BEST. We usually don’t sleep well on other beds, ALL THE PILLOWS (my personal fav), the balcony is super cute and spacious, everything you need in the bathrooms and kitchen, literally. Steps from the pool. I love that the complex is small, but has a ton of parking. We are already making plans to come back again soon! Thanks for keeping up such a cozy/cute place! :)

About the host

Host profile image
We purchased Sandy Feet Retreat in April of 2017 to enjoy what the Port Aransas area has to offer. We have vacationed here for the last 20 years and decided to look for own little piece of paradise. When we came across this end unit, with its own private staircase, tucked into a little secluded area of the Sea Sands Condos, we fell in love. With the Gulf breezes, the shaded balcony and everything in town close by, we could not pass this up. We can't enjoy the full benefits of Port Aransas yet... But that is why we are sharing with others, so they can find the same coastal love that we did 20 years ago.

Why they chose this property

At Sandy Feet Retreat you will find a homey feeling. This is not your sterile type rental property. When we have down time or a couple of days, you will fund us, the owners, enjoying time at Sandy Feet Retreat.
