Family Getaway!

Our family LOVED our stay at Colin’s condo!! It was super clean, comfortable, fully stocked, and the views were amazing. The complex was clean, friendly, and we loved the pool! Walking to the beach was a quick 5 minute stroll (with two small kids), and parking was ample. Our kids were SO sad to leave!!

Port Aransas Beach front Condo

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Collin's beachfront property in Port Aransas, and it was an unforgettable family vacation. The top-floor condo offered unobstructed ocean views that were beautiful. The spacious living area, complete with comfortable sofas and a large-screen TV, provided the perfect setting for relaxation. The dining and kitchen area was ideal for family meals and gatherings. With two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms, there was ample space for everyone. The property's proximity to the beach allowed us to enjoy the beach with ease. Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable beach vacation. Collin was very tentative with communication and making sure we were taken care of!

Awesome place

Recently redone so everything is nice and new inside. Ice cold AC feels great on a hot day. Great view through a giant window facing the ocean on the second floor. Short walk to the beach or short drive if you've got a lot of beach gear. Short drive to downtown as well. Really can't complain at all. Would book again.

A Fabulous Stay!

It's been a week since we left this super-comfortable condo, in such a perfect location...already wishing we were back there! Collin was an excellent host, answering us efficiently and clearly, with our one question ;-) The condo was clean and well-stocked, and had the most wonderful view of the Gulf waves!! We loved the covered patio, and the ease of getting over the dunes to the beach. Would go back there in a heartbeat!! Thank you!!!

great location, great condo

We stayed with our son & his wife and had a wonderful time. The condo was spacious and equipped to the nines. They brought Thanksgiving dinner, my son cooked the turkey there, baked and warmed a ton of sides, and the oven accommodated everything. Loved the decor, no pink or blue walls, no seashell photos, no "beach condo". Collin was so great, we all had a fabulous time. Would definitely stay here againl

Favorite Rental at Port-A, Simply Amazing

We have been vacationing to Port-A every summer for 10 years now, and sometimes in the off season fall/winter months. This was by far our favorite rental! The condo was super clean, well stocked, decor was fantastic, washer/dryer & fridge in great work good condition. Believe me that is important, we have stayed in some rentals where this was not the case. The view was amazing! The super short walk to the beach via the boardwalk was a huge plus. The amount of parking was great, we were concerned with the description saying, first come first serve, but there were plenty of spaces, the hose next to the condo and the outdoor shower right by the boardwalk also were another huge plus, the condo is located right on the beach and right in the middle of town so everything is very close. Another great thing was the trash pickup, the can was located right downstairs and we did not have to remember to put it out on the curb or carry the trash to a dumpster far from the condo, someone would come and pick it up every few days. Collin was excellent with communication and helped make our stay perfect! We have already reserved our fall/winter anniversary trip with him and Coral Kay #238! We also really liked the keypad code entry instead of having to worry about keys. The smart TVs in all the rooms worked great, and the wifi was excellent. My husband and I predominantly work from home and so when we travel we bring our laptops and monitors to work a bit, wi-fi is a must! A++++++ Rental!

Beautiful on the Beach

We stayed at Coral Cay during Sandfest for the first time this year. We enjoyed the first unit and location so did not hesitate to try again. We liked this one even better. This unit has a front row seat to the beach and is just steps from the walk-over. It is updated, clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay again. We arrived the evening before Thanksgiving. Collin checked to be sure we were settled in and able to use the electronics to watch the big games the next day (when we weren't on the beach). Thanks for everything.

Family trip

My granddaughter and her kids live about 4 hours from Port A. My daughter and I flew in from Wisconsin. We ha had a great time! Quick walk to the beach, everything you need is close, good restaurants ( for take out) we had a 2 year old with us. Absolutely no complaints. Our host was extremely accommodating!

Perfect location for easy beach access!!

I was looking for a place with a great view of the ocean, clean & updated, and easy walk to the beach. This fit the bill perfectly! I stayed with my 81 year old mom, who gets around well, but can tire easily. It was important to me for her to be able to walk to the beach independently while I got my remote work done during some of the days there. The wifi was awesome, 2nd floor gave us a great beach view when we just felt like lounging, and we also really loved how nicely the place was decorated. Mom also enjoyed the TV’s in the bedrooms when she wanted to lay in bed and watch her shows. Thanks for the hospitality!
