G3010-Beach Haven

The location of the condo was perfect..... right on a private beach. Easy to get to although not clearly identified from the road. Condo was clean and accommodations were comfortable. We really enjoyed the stay and Port Aransas! We were a little disappointed that the pool was closed but they are renovating it so it is what it is!

Unbelievable place to stay. Amazing inside and out.

The rental unit was very nice. Great floor plan with lots of space, nice porch overlooking the beach, very well equipped with everything needed for our beach trip. The condominium complex was OK but the pool area was not very inviting; with no shade, minimal seating and pool was dirty. Construction noise was distracting but not terrible. We highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful time in Port A! No news. No social media. Just family fun! Beach Haven 3010 was perfect for our group!

My one and only wish was that I could see the beach from the balcony. Seeing the water was great though. Just wish you could clear out the dunes & growth that block the view.

Really high quality remodel. Everything was top of the line, from appliances to furniture. Super cute decor, very comfortable and clean. Great view from the balcony, short walk to the beach. The building’s exterior was a bit rough, so we were worried driving up, but this place exceeded our expectations. Fantastic place to stay, we will come again!

The condo was exactly as pictured. Very clean and comfortable for 2 families. However, I would not stay here again until work on the surrounding units is complete. We were woken up by 8:15 each morning to jackhammers and commotion on the unit right above us that made it impossible to stay in the room at all from 8am-8pm.

Our family needed a little fun and relaxation. We stayed in the beautiful Beach Haven and loved it so much that we already planned another stay in September! They really thought of everything here. Decor was perfect and they had pretty much everything that we needed. I cannot wait for our next trip!

Everything it promised! The view was worth it alone but unit was clean, updated, and very comfortable. A home away from home! The property itself was maintained well and elevator was nice for 3rd floor view/balcony. Boardwalk and shower made beach trips easy and convenient! The only small improvement I could think of was entrance little difficult to spot @ night without lighting by road.

Beach Haven is a beautifully decorated, comfortable condo. Such a fun, happy, beachy place. We enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets, walking on the beach and just enjoying time together in this wonderful unit. Great memories!

The beach was clean and beautiful, and the condo we found was perfect! The beachfront views and sounds of the ocean bring constant peace and tranquility, making this condo a true Beach Haven. This unit has been completely renovated to offer a classy, comfortable and relaxing environment, and is provisioned to meet your needs. Port Aransas offers water sports, bird watching, nature trails and island history, plus great restaurants and shopping, all with a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere and style. The folks with Starkey Properties are professional and made the check-in, check-out process a breeze. We live in Austin, and will be going back soon!

The unit is updated and very nice. Easy access to the beach. Pool was nice and clean. This was our first stay at a condo without maid service but there was a nice laundry room to wash towels and sheets. The management company was responsive as we had an issue with the remote to the television. Do wish the unit had a full length mirror somewhere but that is just a personal preference. Good location near restaurants.

The weather was perfect, beach was pretty clean, and the condo is BACK!

Excellent accommodations, the remodel/repair work made the condo very comfortable and inviting. Our entire family had a great time.

Terrific location. Wonderful boardwalk, pool, view. Very easy check-in/out.

Our family fell in-love with G3010-Beach Haven. We will be requesting the same condo on our next family trip. It was the perfect size and layout. More accommodating that expected. It was beautiful and very clean and the view of the ocean was amazing. We were on the third floor and there were 6 adults and 3 children which means lots of bags glad there was an elevator.

This condo is gorgeous and the location is great. The beds were comfortable and the decor was island chic. The ocean view, pool and beach access were just what we wanted. We will definitely be back!

It was just what we were hoping for. Clean, beautiful condo, easy access to the beach, and well stocked with all the essentials, plus some. Really appreciated the extra attention to providing things like beach chairs and basic cooking spices (with a request to replace what you use). Thank you!

We loved this condo for our family and my in-laws! It was a lot more spacious than the pictures. It has been updated so beautifully and was done very well. The property seem to be kept up well too, pool and grounds were clean. We loved how convenient and close to the beach we were! Will DEFINITELY be back :)

Manager's Response

The condo was absolutely gorgeous! It had everything we needed and more. A close walk to the beach, pool, and the beds were comfy! We would definitely stay there again!

My two sisters and I plan an annual trip every year and always plan to be together on National Sibling Day. Our experience with this condo was flawless; from securing the location through Starkey through the checkout process.

Manager's Response

Totally remodeled after the hurricane, everything inside is just like new. Nicely decorated. Kitchen and pantry are very well-stocked.
I wish a hair-dryer was provided. I used to bring my own but it's available everywhere we travel nowadays, even in a different country, so I was caught off guard.

Other than that, we love the place.

My family stayed here for 3 nights and from the moment we walked in, it was breathtaking! The condo way exceeded our expectations! Each room was beautifully decorated and the color palettes was amazing! The view of the beach was absolutely beautiful! The kitchen had everything we needed. The washer/dryer was a huge plus! We highly recommend this condo for everyone! We definitely have found our "home away from home". Thank you to the owners for allowing us to have beautiful memories in your amazing condo! We are definitely coming back!

The Beach Haven Condo is as perfect as it looks in the photos. The owner has truly done a beautiful renovation and has thought of every detail. The unit is also very well stocked especially in the kitchen. Being a 3 bedroom 3 bath unit (with bathrooms attaching to each bedroom) is also a great advantage not having to share bathrooms. The laundry room is huge with a full size washer and dryer....I could have packed half the amount of luggage! While in Port Aransas we discovered a hidden treasure of a restaurant (in Port A for the last 5 years)..The Black Marlin....I would HIGHLY recommend it! My only negative comments would be on the Grand Caribbean property itself....the sidewalks leading from the parking lot to the property are at a very steep tilt...ironically they are right in front of the handicapped parking spots. It is a little challenging to push a loaded luggage cart both up AND back down that steep sidewalk. We had an elderly man in our group who had a difficult time going up and down the steep walkway. I commented to a contractor that was working on the property that they should look at redesigning the long as they are there working on renovating the units. He agreed that it did need to be done....and even told me that the current sidewalks are "not even adhering to code"...but he is not the one who can make that decision. The other maintenance issue of the entire property was that there are a fair amount of balcony and upper sidewalk areas with balcony railings that are not secure. We even had a wobbly railing on our unit's balcony railing facing the beach. I mentioned the issue to both the contractor on site and Starkey Properties. The contractor told me that "yes...he was aware of it and had a work order on it"...which makes me wonder why didn't he at least secure our unit's balcony railing BEFORE we arrived??? I would definitely come back to Beach Haven and am hopeful that The Grand Caribbean will address these issues.

Great house! Clean and comfy! Excellent location, not far from town. Quiet beach. Boardwalk is a great bonus for access to beach.

Our stay was planned as a family vacation but my husband had surgery & a delayed recovery prevented us from going. Our children & their families still went & had a great vacation. My daughter gave us a face time video tour of the condo saving that awesome view for last! The condo was exactly like the pictures & description online right down to the beach supplies in the laundry room. So great to have 3 bedrooms each with their own bathrooms, big kitchen, big balcony, roll away beds so the little kids could all sleep separately, very clean & even ready earlier than expected. Location a boardwalk from the beach, great pool & again that view from this corner 3rd floor condo could not have been any better! My daughter tells me we have to rent this one again for sure. I can't wait to join my family there next time!

I absolutely loved the condo! We make it a point to always go down once a year to Port A. The view, the access to the beach is awesome! This year perfect stay, the weather worked for us too!

Manager's Response

I went on this costal trip with four other friends, classmates since Elementary. We try and go to Port A at least once a year. We loved this condo! It totally made our trip relaxing and one we will remember for a long time!!! Thank you!!! Cant wait till next year!!!

Manager's Response

So relaxing! This is the second time we lease these condos and both times it's been a very pleasant stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The condos are clean and colorful. The beach view is perfect! And when you're done with the beach, the pool is very welcoming! You won't go wrong staying here??

Manager's Response

Grand kids loved the water, sand and pool, love the location and the view. We had some issues with broken toilet handle, the dishwasher, and working the TV. The management was quick to assist us and take care of it. We will be back next summer!!

Manager's Response

We really enjoyed the property and the wonderful condo that we were in. it was a great family vacation. We will request this suite again

We had originally booked a different property and when we arrived the AC was broken. Starkey Property Management acted as quick as possible to find us a different condo, which ended up being this one and we loved it! We had direct beach access, the pool was perfect for small kids and we had a beach view! This was the perfect condo for our family vacation with little kids and will be coming back!

This home was prefect for me and my son. It had the best view and comfort. It had everything you needed without having to worry about a thing.

We have stayed at several places on Port Aransas and we all agreed that this has been our favorite so far! We liked it so much that we will probably check here first and see if it is available for our next trip. The place is well stocked with anything you might need. It has great views and you almost have the beach to yourself since it is so far down from the main hubs. The pool is nice and shaded in the afternoon which was a huge plus for us since I have a daughter that can burn even with 70 sunscreen. My husband loved the collection of reading material as well. The sofa was so comfortable as was the master bed. Your lamps are so perfect as each one is a nightlight as well as a lamp and found in every room, plus coordinates with the beach theme. The notebook that you had listing all the island amenities was very well put together and we used several times even though we are not new to Port A. We had brought our own beach stuff but what you guys had stocked was perfect and we didn't need to take ours out of the vehicle, which was nice when you have so much to carry anyway. Plus, my son had forgotten his sunglasses and there was a selection for him to borrow! I also liked that it was an end unit. We like our getaways to be quiet and peaceful and this was. Probably the only thing that was a negative for us was the shower heads. They are just really plain and when you are trying to get nooks, cranny's and kiddos clean, I love the nicer shower heads that you can use as a handle and has several kinds of outputs. But, maybe that is an issue in rentals or with the type of water, etc. That was our only thing we missed though. Again, we thought it was perfect! Thanks so much for letting us enjoy your beach paradise!

The Property Management Team were helpful and made our vacation get away condo extremely delightful. The Beach Haven @ Grand Carribean was one of the best stays on Mustang Island. These homeowners have made this a home not just a condo you lease. We were so excited to have had the opportunity to visit. Charming & Warmth with allot of love we felt. The kitchen was excellent! We have already schedule our 2016 Vacation for Nov & Dec stays. Cant hardly wait to be back. Thank you for sharing.
