    friendly management
    moldy bathroom
    stained carpet

    Friendly management team at the front desk.

    Our experience was absolutely dreadful. The carpet in our room was stained, and it reeked of mildew. Furthermore, the bathroom was a complete disaster. the sink wouldn't drain properly, and there was mold around the shower. I had to deal with these issues right after check-in, which ruined my mood. I feel cheated out of my money for such a miserable stay.

    cold ac
    fun pool

    Family with children will enjoy it

    We stayed in a two-bedroom suite and it had a cold AC, which was crucial for the unbearable heat. The kids loved the pool and the ice cream stand nearby was a hit!

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but it was still acceptable.

    I recently stayed in a cozy bungalow for 3 nights. The pool area was clean and fun, perfect for relaxation. Friendly staff assisted us with early check-in. The cottage was comfortable and pet-friendly. A great experience! ☀️

    Our stay was overshadowed by loud disturbances at night. Management was unhelpful, creating a tense environment, especially for our child. We left early, seeking comfort elsewhere. For a stress-free family trip, consider paying a bit more for a peaceful stay.

    central location
    friendly service

    fantastic access to parks and local attractions for weekend explorers

    During our stay, we loved how close we were to Mustang Island State Park, which was just a few steps away, making it perfect for our city strolls, and we were pleasantly surprised to find the Port Aransas Nature Preserve less than 2 km away, offering stunning views and tranquil walking paths. the staff was friendly, making our family with children feel right at home while exploring the charming area, but the rooms could use a few updates for an even better experience.

    spacious cottage
    efficient cooling
    limited scenic views

    pleasant stay but some improvements needed

    The two-bedroom cottage offered ample space and was well-equipped with a complete kitchen, including all necessary utensils. The air conditioning system functioned excellently, keeping each room cool during the humid days.

    However, I found the location a bit lacking in scenic views.

    accessibility features
    additional amenities

    I loved the cozy atmosphere and the thoughtful decor in our bungalow. The pool area was well-kept, and the staff was incredibly helpful, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. It truly felt like a home away from home.

    A few more accessibility features would be helpful.

    fresh seafood
    picnic area
    outdoor dining
    faulty ac
    insufficient kitchen supplies

    Dined nearby at Ziggy's Hideout and loved the fresh seafood at Castaways—definitely finger-lickin' goodness! Plus, the resort's picnic area was the perfect spot to unwind with a snack after a day in the sun!

    The AC unit control was acting up, making the main bedroom hotter than a Texas summer. The kitchen lacked basic supplies like a blender and didn’t even have decent pots to whip up a little meal.

    well-maintained grounds
    comfortable bungalow
    enjoyable pool
    unclean room
    poor service

    Everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. The surroundings were well-maintained and the pool and hot tub were enjoyable. The bungalow accommodated my needs well, providing ample space for relaxation after a long day of work.

    The room cleanliness was definitely below standard.
