"Nice place
The rental is close to the beach, very clean, with well stocked kitchen. The Port A staff was very helpful and easy to communicate with. "

"Nice little condo
The condo was clean, very well-equipped, and in a good location. However, be aware of the millions of mosquitos and jellyfish!

"Great Condo
Enjoyed the condo, it had everything we needed. It was a perfect location, and we liked the convenience of walking to the beach from balcony of the condo!"

"My Stay in Port A!
The proximity to the beach was amazing which was highlighted by the fact we could see the beach from our porch!"

"Quick Getaway
The rental was very nice and clean on the inside. Well furnished and comfortable. The boardwalk to the beach was very handy and not a long walk at all. Large upper deck with view of the beach. Nice pool. Location was convenient to town. My only negative, which wouldn’t prevent me from staying there again was the actual aesthetic of the buildings themselves. Very plain and motel like. "

"Great place!
This is a great location with everything you need and close to many restaurants and shops. Rental agency was very informative. The condo was clean with a nice patio to sit outside in the evenings. Hope to come back in the future."

"Cozy condo for a family of four!
Condo was nicely upgraded and clean. Location is super close to shops and restaurants. I ask the rental agent for a condo with a decent beach view and this condo #30 barely gives you one. Also, there was a slight smell of mold that bothers me a bit."

"Great Unit!
Comfortable furniture, very clean, and lots of thoughtful touches such as clips for chips. The balcony has a lovely view with partial shade so you can get what you need as various times of the day.
If I could make any changes it would be to be allowed use of the laundry in the unit and to add a screen/divider as the neighbor’s balconies is are several in a row with no privacy screens at all. I’m an introvert, so this is a big thing for me. "

"A great find
This unit is outstanding. Convenient access to the beach right out your back door (only unit we saw with a private stairway), and the community pool is right outside your front door. Immaculately clean and the management company was super easy to work with. A+!"

"Great Condo with Spacious Oceanview Deck
We had a wonderful weekend stay at Sea Isle Village Unit 30. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it highly to family, friends, and YOU!
Check in went smoothly. Sea Isle Village is an older property but it was recently remodeled after Hurricane Harvey and the grounds and facilities (especially the community pool) look really great and are well maintained. The interior remodel of Unit 30 is aesthetically pleasing and very well done! This unit has a spacious oceanview deck with a full size table and chairs and extra seating which in my opinion makes it the best unit in the complex. This deck is double the size of the decks on the other units, it has a cover over half of the deck providing protection from sun/rain, and it is unique in that it has its own private stairs down to the ground level on the beach side of the complex. The beds and furniture were in great shape and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped.
Most of what is advertised in the description is accurate, with the exception of the reference to 3 TVs (only 2 TVs in the condo) and there is no DVD or VHS player. These discrepancies are not a deal breaker by any means, but it should be corrected. There was a dead roach on the floor when we arrived which indicates pest control is working, but cleaning crew either missed it or it showed up after they cleaned. The condo was sooo close to perfect that I feel the need to point out a few areas for improvement which with easy "fixes" would make it absolutely perfect.
1. Only 1 kitchen towel and hot pad in the kitchen is not enough.
2. We had 4 people staying in the condo for 3 nights. There were only 2 wash cloths per person which is really not adequate especially since there is not W/D in the unit.
3. The caulk around both tubs needs to be cleaned out and recaulked. Ugly caulk can make an otherwise nice bathroom look not so nice.
4. The return air vent which was on the bottom half of a doo"

"Nice property, awesome pool.
We loved staying at this property. The only issue would be the sand dune you have to cross to get to the beach. We ended up using the beach access from the property next door because there is a bridge to cross the sand dune."

"On the beach
It was obvious the entire facility was very clean and sanitized before we arrived. We had enough towels for all five of us. There were more pots pans and serving things in the kitchen than I expected. Everything was well stocked, I would certainly come"

"Perfect!
Second time staying here and I love it! We’ll definitely be looking forward to more bookings. Perfect beach view, clean, relaxing, not much of a walk to the beach very easy access. "

"Beach condo
The condo was decorated beautifully and in a great location. Upon arrival the WiFi and cable tv did not work. We called to rental office and were told someone would be sent over right away to take care of the issues but no one showed up or called. The next morning I completed a maintenance request and someone finally came out to get the WiFi working. There was no dish soap or dishwasher detergent and you’re expected to run the dishwasher upon departure so we had to buy some. The little things make a huge difference and response time was terrible. I would not stay there again nor would I recommend it to anyone."

"Grandkids vacation!!
This was out first time to Port Aransas. The condo was nice. There is no wifi and television's never worked. But beds were comfy we actually enjoyed just hanging out beach riding around town in golf cart we were surprised that the town was sooo crowded food was just ok. Port Aransas is a tourist destination so therefore very pricey. At least we can knock Port Aransas off the bucket list. ��"

Everything was beautiful. The walk to the beach was perfect. The pool was very clean. The rooms, sheets, bathroom and couches were so clean and perfect. I had a great time with my family. Wifi was the only thing missing. "

"Cozy Costal Condo
We had a great stay in SIV #30! Quick and easy walk to the beach. Plenty of towels, bedding, dishes, etc. Everything was clean and updated. No WiFi was disappointing. "

"vacation review
My overall stay was good except I was told the wrong lockbox number and given the wrong combination. But it worked out in the end as I was able to reach someone after hours."

"great place
The condo was clean was not happy that beds did not match internet photos. And the boardwalk ended too soon had to climb a sand hill to reach beach!"

"Great option if you're looking for a camping experience!
We picked this condo based on the fact that it had 4 beds. We show up and there are 3, one of which is crammed into a tiny bedroom w/ very little room for anything else which is great b/c it also doesn't have a closet so you can just leave your suitcase on the ground & step over it all week. Conveniently, I was already calling management b/c our fridge froze up when we turned it on (apparently this is a common occurrence) & they said they would check the pictures to see why I was standing in front of a queen bed instead of 2 twin beds pictured. When I called to follow up the next day, she confirmed that the pictures were incorrect on the website. Just for funsies I checked the website again just now & they are still incorrect. Unfortunately the fridge did not cool for the first 2 days nor could they send maintenance over to fix it, so they generously offered to reimburse us for ice & told us to use our coolers instead. Who needs a fridge when you brought all of your food to cook? If you enjoy sweating, this is the perfect place! You can't turn the a/c below 74 or it freezes like the fridge. There’s a note warning of this which I re-read throughout the trip trying to visualize what a freeze might feel like as I mopped the sweat from my brow. The 1.5 inch gap under the front door not only allows for a nice warm draft to blow through, it also allows for plenty of roaches/creepy crawlers to join you. I stopped documenting their adorable roach faces after I spotted 6 roaches in our kitchen the first night. According to management, this is a fairly common occurrence. Call me naive, but I think some sort of seal at the bottom of the door might slow the problem down. The back door dead bolt is broken so don't bring anything valuable. I'm assuming that's how the twin beds went missing after the pictures were taken. If you are smoker, note that you can’t smoke anywhere on the deck of the condo, but you can enjoy the smell of the next door neighbor chain smoking on theirs."

"2015 Sea Isle Village Stay
Our overall experience was very good. Loved the view from the deck facing gulf coast. Heating/cooling/water all worked fine. Unit could use a bit of updating, especially beds. (Property Management) was very helpful with questions."

"Sea isle Village #30
Front door would not latch until they fixed it. Came back from errand and found door open. Discovered later the bathroom window would not latch and had to use a kitchen implement to block it closed. Front door chain latch had no where to latch it. Very unsecure."

"Fun Family trip
My parents, my father in law, my husband, our three year old son and I all stayed together in a 2/2 condo. We had an awesome time. Checkin was easy for us because I read the email that asks you to check in in a completely different area of the Island, so I knew where to go. Check in was a breeze, the lady was very nice and quick. The condo was so pretty, and very clean. There were spare towels everywhere! It had everything we needed. The pool on the property was nice, and it was a short walk to the beach. Parking is a little tight, but not a big deal at all. Overall, we loved it!"

"Disappointed with the property
We had rented a place at Beachhead but the owner took it out of the rental pool so we were moved to Sea Isle.
The condo (Beach Bunker) is in need of some repairs and updating. Just looks like a condo that the owner has not done anything with in years. "

"comments on #30 Sea Isle Village
Place was clean except for the tile. Since we got in on a Saturday and were staying for a month and a half I scrubbed them. Was disappointed it was rented out for next year before we even got there as we wanted it for Feb. & Mar. of 2015. Had to find a place at LaMirage. Port Escapes was fine. Need to give some information on talking with management at SIV. Heat and air conditioning was great as we needed both."

"Great Place!
Everything with the condo was great. It had a great location and the amenities were just what we needed. We would have preferred to have double beds in both rooms but we made it work. The only thing that was disappointing was the EXTREMELY rude woman that answered the phone about a week before the reservation. I work in property management for a very large company and if any of our employees spoke and gave service the way she did, they would be jobless. We almost cancelled the reservation because of it but I was talked out of it by the other guests staying with us. Aside from the awful customer service on the phone by this one lady, the trip and the place were great! "

"#30 is the place!
Stayed in #30 which is upstairs. Loved the Beach view. The big blue house directly in front of the balcony didn't actually detract from the view at all. This unit has an overhang above the roof, so our balcony was shaded. Big plus when it was time to each lunch on the balcony! Master had a queen size bed up with one side up against a wall and double with access on both sides of the bed so my wife and I slept separately, but it definitely worked. Queen mattress was too soft for me anyway. I'm pretty picky, but this made my list as a potential repeat property. "

"Beach Bunker - Sea Isle Condos
I have stayed at Sea Isle before and had a really good unit. This time we were not so lucky. There were dead crickets all over the floor, the mattresses were very poor quality and I had stickers under my sheets. The condos used to provide coffee filters and hand soap in the kitchen and now they do not. "

We were having a wedding, and needed an additional accomodation at the very last minute. It was better than we could have expected. Not only did was it very reasonable, but a clean, comfortable condo with a great view!"

"Excellent stay
We gave stayed here 2 years in a row and will continue to rent here. This was the first year we went off sure to check in and did not have a great experience checking in. The lady taking payments was rude and unfriendly. I was also wondering about towel service. Nobody came to our condo with fresh towels"

"Beach Bunker Vacation Review
We enjoyed staying at this location. We had a great view of the beach from our balcony. The bedroom situation was a little misleading. We were told there was a queen size bed in one bedroom and a full and 2 twin beds in the other bedroom. The twin beds were in a room by themselves and the full and queen were together. We made it work."

"Bummed Out
My family and relatives have been coming here for years. Was disappointed, the pool was closed for the 2nd time. One of the highlights of staying is the pool. Also, was not told ahead of time that there was no longer any housekeeping. Had to go out and buy extra trash bags, etc."
Aug 07, 2012 - , Seguin, Texas
"Sea Isle Village
The condo had a beautiful view of the Gulf and it was clean. Dislikes about the place are you do not get towel service and have to carry out the trash. I do not like having to go to another location to pickup and drop off the key. "

"Unit 31, Sea Isle Village, Port Aransas
Despite some confusion in the reservation accounting (ie, deposit $), which occurred due to the transfer of management of Sea Isle to Port A Escape, Patrick was excellent to deal with. I appreciated his promptness to return my calls and his handling of my questions. Patrick was so nice to work with, very professional; he deserves a raise! Unit 31 had a dead roach, no hair dryer, and vent under AC loosely screwed and ajar, probably gave access for roach. "

"Unhelpful property management
We have stayed at Sea Isle for more than 30 years, but I doubt we will return until the property management company changes. It is the wrong sort of property to be run the way it currently. The on site staff were unhelpful and could care less. They charge a cleaning fee now, and an additional $50 if you don't take the last trash sack out and empty the frig. We thought we were being nice to the housekeepers leaving unopened food in the frig for them, but were charged for it. That was the icing on the cake after already being very unhappy."

"Sea Isle
The best part about the property is the location. I love looking out at the ocean from my balcony. The price is right too. "
