Cant remember the room number but it was on the ground floor facing the gulf. The pool was right across the parking lot...no complaints... had a great time...only thing is the cost of the room I guess...I just wish it was a little less so I could stay longer and come back more often!

Stayed in #2 right above the office. The room smelled musty, was incredibly dated, had dead bugs on the bathroom floor and the worst part is the bedding was incredibly soiled. The comforters had clearly not been washed in a very long time. The bed was also very very uncomfortable. We were scared to touch anything. Needless to say, we... More

Great location to enjoy Port Aransas. Stayed in unit 4 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Everything we needed ... clean and comfortable. Big flat screen tv and fast reliable internet. Planning to return

Right on the beach, got a low season rate, the whole family was happy. Played tennis, the pool looked inviting (it was a little cold). The place is 20, 25 years old, but everything worked, it was clean, and the staff was fantastic! Stayed in #126, small, but it was fine. WiFi and good TV. We celebrated Thanksgiving and the... More

Highly Recommended! We're trying to visit Port Aransas twice a year and this place is defiantly one step above them all. The facilities great, the staff is great and the price is awesome. Salina the property manager and Megan @ guest service went above and beyond to ensure we're having everything we need. If you plan to visit to Port... More

We stayed in #139 during what they consider "peak season" and it is definitely NOT worth the price. The week we were here was the week school started in Texas and there was nobody here so I do not consider that to be peak season for prices. The room was very nasty and unclean. They didn't even mop the tile... More

This was the most affordable efficiency/studio condo we could find with direct access to the beach and, at the end of the day, we were pleased with our experience. We stayed in #133, on the second floor with a view of the gulf. Place shows its age but all was in working condition and clean. Had one very uncomfortable, squeaky... More

Our group stayed for Thursday thru Sunday, so 3 nights, and the bill for the room was $406ish. Our unit was 2 double beds & a kitchenette. The ac was noisy, but kept it cool. The furniture and carpet were very dirty to the touch, I wore shoes the whole time in the room, but the bath & kitchen were... More

I have stayed at the Island Retreat a few times and I will never stay anywhere else! It is very moderately priced, the rooms are nice and comfy, the staff is friendly and accomodating, and the location is nice.
