Really nice condo close to everything and easy access to the ocean. Everything ran seamless through booking to checkout. Kids enjoyed the pool and games at the amenity center. We had a golf cart delivered and ran great. Made it supper easy to get around. Would stay stay here again in a second on our next visit to Port A.

Decent place to stay. Right on the beach. Wish you didn’t have to pick up the keys at a separate place. Maybe change to keypad entry? A few bugs but that’s expected near the water. Beds weren’t the most comfy but overall the stay was satisfactory. We would stay again.

We have been coming to Beachhead since 1995, I wouldn’t even consider going to any other property , even if was cheaper. The location is the best, probably around 200 yards and you’re standing in the Gulf of Mexico. The other big plus is the giant swimming pool. The Condos are clean and sleep 6

Overall our stay was great! Condo is on the 3rd floor and no elevator (should probably be listed in the description so people with mobility issues are aware) Location was absolutely PERFECT! Not too far from the restaurants but far enough away from the crowds.Condo itself could use some refreshing. Bathtubs were not clean, master could use a shower head extender (I'm 5'4" and it hit me in the shoulders), had to wash the dishes we used BEFORE we used them as they were not clean, dishes themselves could use a refresh - many bowls and plates had chips and cracks. Give the guests more than 1 towel per person! We were a family of 4 and only received 4 towels. Parking was TIGHT. Should probably elaborate more on the parking situation in the description of the condo. We brought my mid size SUV and we had to move the car each time we wanted to get in and out.

Very disappointed with our stay and the management. We called multiple times to get access to wifi and no one got back to us. Dishwasher didn't work so we had to hand wash everything. Garbage disposal didn't work. Light in kitchen worked on and off. The outside patio light never worked. Master bedroom lights needed replacing. I left a complain to management and I never heard anything back. The extra sheets were NOT clean. The location is ideal and the beach access is great.

This was our fourth stay at Beachhead Condos though Port A Escapes, but the first stay at Serene Seashell 508BH. The service through Port A Escapes was terrific as expected; we received timely updates and instructions, and the app made everything simple. The location of Beachhead Condos in general is tough to beat. Serene Seashell has what has to be one of the very best gulf views in all of Port Aransas. We could see the sunrise, the condos' boardwalk, and nothing but water on about 150 degrees of the horizon. The kitchen is well-appointed, including a giant stock pot with strainer insert for a big seafood boil. The carpeted areas feel like they have memory foam pads. Super comfy. There is a playground for the kids (wear shoes, because there are also stickers!); the pool is heated and has a full swim day of 7 AM until midnight; there is a pool house with foosball, table tennis, air hockey, and a television; and there are plenty of picnic tables strewn across the property, as well as groups of tables in the pool area. My extended family enjoyed the common areas while retreating to our individual condos for quiet time (and, at present, to avoid potential COVID transmission).

Reviewer Comments:
Well, it was not fun entering our condo and noticing water coming from the ceiling on one of the restroom floors and having maintenance in our room and having to wait/slowdown our plans because of this. So we didn’t use the restroom with the twin beds because of the water coming out for the ceiling making everything wet, maintenance was not able to fix the problem during our stay and placed a huge bucket in the small restroom to collect the water. In addition, we weren’t able to open the door fully because it would get stuck on the floor. The other restroom with the queen bed would get stuck on the floor as well but was able to get it open all the way with some force. The tub in that restroom didn’t drain well, so each of us had to wait to use the shower so we didn’t have to stand in dirty water and the parking was a little tight for a truck. On a positive note, it was clean, good size condo for 4 people and it has a great view with a nice boardwalk to the beach. And every issue we had looks fixable but just didn’t expect these issues.
