Our JVRAwesome, Port Aransas Beach, Beachfront, Top Floor, Penthouse Condo, "JVRAwesome Beachfront!" has a totally unobstructed gulf of Mexico view from a gulf facing wall of glass doors and windows that span the living room , dining area and main bedroom. Let the view and sounds of the gulf soothe the stress away. Located on Port Aransas Beach! (Not Holiday Beach)

Our top floor, beachfront penthouse includes a large living area with sofas and a large screen TV, spacious dining and bar area, plus 4 separate bedrooms and 2 full baths provide plenty of room for playing games and relaxing. There are 5 Televisions. A door between the living area and three of the bedrooms ensures that night owls and early risers do not disturb each other. We have a washer and dryer in our condo.

The living area looks directly out on the beautiful waters of the gulf of Mexico and has a sliding door to the oceanfront balcony. The living room has a sofa, loveseat, two comfortable chairs and a large screen TV.

The dining area looks directly out on the gulf of Mexico and has a sliding door to the oceanfront balcony. There is a beautiful dining room table with additional seating for four people at the counter top bar.

At the end of the hallway, next to the 3rd bedroom, the bathroom has a shower/tub combo.

We do have a passenger elevator that is shared with the other penthouse condo. Adults only operating new elevator installed in 2016.

Island Retreat is a great place to spend time with family and friends. This smoke-free condominium is beachfront . . . you simply walk over the dunes on the boardwalk to the flat part of the beach. Two pools! Pickleball, volleyball, shuffleboard, tennis, basketball all on the 25 acres of Island Retreat to enjoy! Fish House and Boat parking on-site.

The beach is awesome for playing with the kids, acting like a kid yourself, enjoying the scenery, taking a long stroll, a morning jog, reading a book, or delighting in the last rays of a gorgeous sunset. If you don't feel like getting sandy at the beach relax by one of the two pools or play some tennis, volleyball, shuffleboard or basketball.

Or simply treasure pushing your child in a swing on the playground as they giggle with enjoyment.

Port Aransas has some great restaurants for when you feel like eating out (or you didn't have any luck fishing).

If you feel like exploring there are plenty of options - scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, deep sea fishing, Aransas Wildlife Refuge and Whooping Crane Habitat or the beach!

Please note that while the listing frequently states "one night minimum" there are times throughout the year when we have more than a "one night minimum" even though it may say "one night minimum".

After all requested guest and tenant information and all payments are received the check-in information and code will be sent. Thank you.

We’ve stayed in Port A multiple times and this is by far the best value! It was beautiful and had a view of the beach. Everything we needed was there for us, and the host was so attentive. I highly recommend this place!

Great place to stay with family. The elevator was extremely helpful for my elderly parents.

Beautiful view in a comfortable condo. So much room that the four kids each had their own beds. So close to the beach we spent every morning there and at most afternoons at the pool.
6 / 10Average·May 2025
The condo unit itself was comfortable and clean. The area where the condo and adjacent apartments are located looks old, rundown and in need of repairs. The pool and grill area were nice enough, but you overlook the parking lot lined with dumpsters. There is an elevator listed, but it should be noted it is a service elevator only and not comfortable for transporting people. My 80 year old mother in law struggled with the 3 flights of steps which felt safer than the elevator. The unit is also listed as 4 bedrooms. It is not. It is 3 bedrooms. The fourth is a laundry room that has a set of bunk beds in there. It is the size of a large walk in closet. Fine for little kids maybe but should not be listed as a bedroom. There is boardwalk access to the beach, but the pictures make it look closer than it is, again worth noting depending on who is in your travel group. I would highly recommend renting a golf cart. It makes getting to and from the beach much easier. The owner was responsive when needed. They do have a lot of "rules" that with fines attached. Even being an all adult group, we were constantly nervous we were going to do something wrong and get a bill. I love Port A and while I think there are good things about this listing, there are many other nicer places to choose from and with that, I will likely not rent here again.
