  Did something different for Thanksgiving this year and it was very well worth it! I was able to cook a great feast with the fully stocked kitchen. The kiddos loved the heated pool and rec center. The condo was very clean but the best part was the amazing oceanside views that are breathtaking.

  We loved the location! It was an easy walk to the beach and our room had a great view. (Would love an option for darker curtain if possible for those bright sunrises) Kitchen was fully stocked with what you need for food. Be sure to bring ice though! (No ice maker, only trays)

  • Manager Responded on 10/20/2025

    Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you loved the location and the beautiful view, and that the kitchen had everything you needed. We appreciate your helpful feedback about the curtains and ice maker — we’ll be sure to share those suggestions with the owner for future consideration. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay soon!

  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

  Laura G from Jonestown, TX recommends this vacation rental

  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).

  The unit we stayed in was really nice, clean, and a great view. My only complaint is the Wifi. I made sure to find a place that had a view and wifi. I did not plan to work when I was there but it happens. It was really frustrating and I had to go outside, away from the unit in order to work.
  The twin beds are kinda short or my kids are just long! Would I stay again, yes! I'll just make sure work doesn't interfere!!

  • Manager Responded on 8/9/2020

    Hello Yvonne! Sorry about the issue with WiFi! WiFi is something that we constantly struggle on the island! I hope you did not have to work too much and enjoyed your vacation! We hope to see you again!

  Absolutely perfect for our family of four. Loved the fact that we were in the unit closest to the ocean, and on the top floor, so sitting on the balcony in the mornings and evenings were wonderful. Easy access to the beach, and it seemed to be not as crowded as other stretches of the beach. The room itself had clearly been updated, and was very clean. Only bad part was leaving!

Unit could use some renovation - not that anything was damaged, it’s just showing it’s age. Still, we’d rent the unit again the next time we visit Port A.

  a guest from New Braunfels, Texas recommends this vacation rental

  The property was older but well maintained for the most part. The view could have been slightly better and regulations regarding unsupervised children in the courtyard, playground, and pool areas need to be implemented. Also, large partys would gather on the boardwalk blocking the walkway to and from the Complex to the Beach. Very annoying since they made no attempt to move and we had to step off the boardwalk into the dunes and grasses to get past. Overall, the condo itself was really nice. I especially liked the layout of the living room area. I LOVED the APP that allowed easy communication and information transfer. The APP made our stay so much more convenient. As a frequent visitor to Port Aransas, I will definitely look into other Port A Escapes rental Units.

  Overlooking the gulf, this condo had a nice breeze, while the other side of the condo was hot. All amenities worked just fine. Had to walk up 3 flights of stairs, but that was OK - a sacrifice for a great view and cool breeze. A tad outdated on furniture, but who cares? We were there to have a good time, and that we did! Nice pool, too. Very comfortable there. Would rent it again. Good price on this condo for the location. We could even scoot on our push-peds into town. Go for it!

  This location was the absolute best we've stayed in at Beachhead because of it's top floor, closest location to the beach. It is easy access to the beach everyday and the boardwalk areas to get from there to the pool and back again were super convenient. The beds were very comfortable and we liked the open layout with the master bedroom being on the ocean view side. This location doesn't hear any noise at night from the neighboring complex or from either sides. Beachhead also has what we thought to be the least crowded section of the beach.
  
  The only negatives we had were in the dated kitchen (which we were prepared for from the reviews), but to note are the following: the microwave plate doesn't spin so cooking is uneven, bring your own can opener, and the dishwasher racks have lost a lot of their coating in many places and rusted/broken off (but it works just fine). Even still, we adapted in our 9-day stay and will definitely select this unit again when we come back.

  Waking up with a beautiful sunrise over the ocean was worth the trip itself. Lovely little town with very nice and helpful people. Definitely planning on going back!

  Bev and I have vacationed in Port A Beachhead for the last 12 years and enjoyed it every year. We like Port A Escapes method of paying our monthly rent by Mastercard. As for Beachhead condo #508 the bathroom in the bedroom by the kitchen could use some upgrading.The sink is rusty and the faucets drip Brenda and Peter were very accomodating. The manager Cynthia was also friendly as was JP

  Julie C from Del Valle, TX recommends this vacation rental

  This unit was in need of serious updating. The pots and pans in the kitchen were very used. The bathroom door and celing in the guest bathroom was in need of repair and/or replacement. The unit was however, very clean, the management company extremely
  accomodating and professional. The views from the balcony, amazing and made it all worth while. We found the beds to be very comfortable. I thought it was a bit pricey for an outdated unit, however it was Labor day weekend so we expected to pay more. Overall,
  enjoyed our stay very much. Would come back again.

  Once again we enjoyed our stay. The only comments I have are that the turntable didnt work in the microwave and the pots and pans, etc. need to be updated. The ceiling in the one bathroom looks like its about to fall down....the place need an overhaul but we always love staying at beachhead. Love the view!! I hope to be able to come up next summer and stay in the same unit as well. Thank you for a wonderful time~~!!

  All minimum expectations were met with this property, and the unit was very clean. It definitely served it's purpose, but the kitchen was older and not well stocked with pots, pans, etc. and the bathrooms were tiny and the water pressure low, but there was always hot water. AC worked great and great view. Too expensive for the quality - much newer, nicer, more modern condos for less money in the area.

  My family and I loved staying at Beachhead. The location is great and the condos were spacious, clean and fully equipped with all the comforts of home. The big sparkling clean pool was a bonus for the grandkids. The only thing that wasn't great was the skillets in Serene Seashell 508BH but we made do. Management was great, they definitely took care of us. We actually had booked two 2/bdrm units and stayed the first 4 nights in those units that were great as well. We enjoyed it so much we just didn't want to leave and fortunately management was able to put us in to two other units for the next two nights. Port A is a great place to bring the family for R&R, fishing, dolphin watching, etc. We plan to come back next year and will definitely stay at Beachhead.

  That was our 11th year at Beachhead and the first with Port A Escapes. The bed linen exchange was a big help and was excellent, the bath and towels were of superior quality and the staff, Brenda was very pleasnt to deal with. WE have signed up for 2012 at the same location and the same arrangements, so plan to see "y'all" in early Jan 2012

  The only issue was I am disabled and I didn't realize it was on the third floor. If I would have known I would have requested a ground floor unit. As a result once I got to the condo I stayed in. This wasn't to much of an issue since it was for my daughter and her friends not me. They had a great time.

  The new office staff was exceptionally helpful in all encounters. My only complaint that they were already concerned about was the noisy external air compressor unit. It made the balcony uncomfortable.
  
  I will be back again. This was my 5th or 5th stay over the last dozen years.

  this is the third time to stay at beachhead, the last time being in 2000. was the same unit, so was getting a little old inside, hole in wall by kitchen, ceiling in one bathroom coming down, carpet not up to par, refrigerator old and noisy when running, knobs missing. overall though, we had a great stay and will probably be back next year.
