About this property
Beach front condo, great baloncy to view sunrise & sunset!
Studio with 2 Queen beds / 2nd floor / no pets / Parking passes for 2 vehicles/ minimum age 25 to reserve
We have wonderful views of the ocean and our unit is recently remodeled, without the rate increase! Our efficiency is equipped with 2 queen beds, full kitchen and again, fantastic views of the ocean on a private balcony. Island Retreat has 2 onsite pools and BBQ pits. Wake up to the sounds of the waves or take a relaxing walk down our board walks that lead to the beach, marking your own personal foot prints on the sand. Enjoy the outdoor grilling by our cabanas located around the pool areas and surrounding grounds. April also has Sandfest weekend where beautiful sculptures that are created by professionals are shown and the guests come to celebrate the weekend. We welcome your stay, and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
*Some condo owners are doing some remodeling. You may hear and see some construction workers during the day.*
If you would like to book this unit and find it does not accommodate your schedule, please view our other island condos. Need 3 condos near each other, for different parties...we got you covered!

About the host
Hosted by Natalie and Patrick Maxwell
We live in Austin, Texas and found ourselves escaping to Port Aransas every chance we got. Since we enjoy it so much, it made sense to purchase our own piece of Paradise! Once we saw this unit, the view sold us and the pictures don't really do it justice. We are so pleased to be able to share our paradise with you and know you will enjoy it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We looked all over the island to find a condo that fit our needs. The view, private balcony and immaculate grounds primarily attracted us to this unit/complex. While looking at other complex surroundings, it was clear the cleanliness and proximity to the beach is by far superior at Island Retreat, in comparison to other complexes on the Island. We purchased unit 132, a few years ago. Our guests have enjoyed it so much and we find it hard to make time for our time, so we decided to purchase another unit. You will not be disappointed. This unit is spectacular and we know you will love it as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
Golfing, deep sea fishing, nearby museums, an aquarium, on site amenities, shopping, a bunch of restaurants featuring everything from hamburgers, and pizza to fine dining are available. In our Condo, you be close to all that and much more.
