Sun Rise Beach Escape

Very nice, clean, decorated 3 br 3 bath third floor unit. Great white water view past the dunes. Boardwalk is in great shape. Refreshing pool with plenty of tables and chairs.
One dining chair broken, ants around sink area. Neither a deal breaker.

This space was perfect. There was so much space with great views of both the beach and the pool. We had a fantastic vacation and would rent this space again.

My wife and I love our Grand Caribbean winter home. This was our second year at this location, and we're looking forward to next year -- deposit is already made.

Having 3 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom was fantastic for our family of adults. The view was beautiful from our balcony. My daughter loves to bake and she was able to bake cookies with all the needed utensils and bakeware provided. We enjoyed every second! The beach access was great! will be returning! We could have used more seating space in the living room.

Full little place to stay. The condo is pretty quiet as I think there are 40 condos.

Very nice place to stay. Boardwalk to the beach and the pool is in the shade in the late afternoon.

Cleanliness is always top of our list and this property met our high standards. 3 bedrooms and 3 baths with a large kitchen and large outdoor deck made for a comfortable family getaway.

Overall stay was wonderful. The property had everything we needed for the weekend. The view of the beach was awesome and relaxing. I have 2 complaints. The description of the property or instructions provided indicated I needed to bring paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, trashbags) which I loaded and brought. I didn't need any because it was already provided by the unit. Don't list items to pack if it is not needed. Second, I was told via email I would be provided with access code via email after 2:00 so I could enter the unit at 4:00 check in. I did not receive an email at all. At 3:50 I called Starkey to ask about accessing the property because I had not received the email with code. I was told "ummm, it will be ready closer to 4:00". REALLY! It was 10 minutes until 4:00. Then I was put on hold and a 2nd person came on the line and provided the code at 3:55 pm. I still never received an email. Starkey properties needs to be more organized, efficient and follow through with promised emails upon arrival. I certainly received multiple emails prior to arrival but the 1 key email was never delivered requiring me to follow up with an inefficient staff.

Our rental experience was outstanding overall. Starkey Properties had everything ready for us, our unit was perfect, and all the billings were spot-on accurate. Wonderful place!

We had a wonderful stay, the property is really nice, the onsite person is extremely kind and helpful. Pool was great to cool off in after a hot day at the beach. The rental unit was a perfect size for our group and came with everything we needed. I’d definitely recommend.

Great view from Condo. Well stocked kitchen. Would go back to same condo although a little hard with kids and carpet in the dining area. Also Contractors were there and banging on side of condo during afternoon nap time.

Property was very nice, clean and well maintained. The pool area was great with shade in the mid to late afternoon. Boardwalk to the beach was great.

This is a beautiful condo.

Manager's Response

This condo was large and roomy, we never felt cramped. Bedrooms were spacious and well-appointed. The kitchen was large and very well equipped. The condo is close to town and we rented bikes in town and rode the beach back to the condo. I was also working part of the time so I loved the desk in the Master with the beautiful ocean view. The large balcony was great for relaxing, catching the sunrise, and socializing in the evenings. The boardwalk to the beach was great and the beach in front of the condo was never crowded. We used the pool and it was great too clean and comfortable furniture. I will definitely rent this unit again. I loved the cleanliness and amazing views!

The condo is very large but the living dining room area are a bit over furnished and feel crowded. The unit is well stocked, appliances are a bit dated but functional. It was nice to have the space in the laundry to store our chairs and coolers. They were painting the outside so, we had the bedroom windows covered with paper and tape which blocked natural light. The view is great and the large patio had some good furnishings along with some older ones. The unit seemed overly furnished with very fragile items on the tables and on shelving in the bedroom and bathrooms which could be an issue with little kids. The bath towels were in good condition. Having more towels would have been nice as there was just one per person in the bathrooms. We loved the boardwalk to the beach, Sadly, the pool was closed but it looks nice. A game room or playground would be a nice addition to the property. We enjoyed our stay and we will consider this property in the future.

This beautiful spacious beach condo was much more than I expected! The location was fantastic for relaxing get-away and the views were out of this world. I rent a lot of condos for vacation, having an elevator was great. I sat on the balcony each morning enjoying the sunrise over the ocean. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes, pots, and pans I needed to cook all week. I had to work during the week so I was excited to see a desk in the Master Bedroom with an amazing view of the ocean. The beach in front of the condo was not crowded at all and the boardwalk was a big plus. The pool was open and the kids enjoyed going back and forth from the pool to the ocean during the day. The condo was very clean and well kept. I was not expecting it to be so big and roomy, definitely enough space for the 6 of us! I will rent this condo again and recommend it to all my friends looking for a great beach get-away!

We loved the condo we stayed in. It was at Grand Caribbean Condos in Port Aransas. We stayed in #300l. It was a three bedroom, 3 bath condo and perfect for 2 couples and our mom. We had an amazing view of the beach. The boardwalk to the beach was wonderful and lit at night so if you want to stroll the beach in the evening. The condo was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking pots and pans and utensils. There is a washer and dryer. We were quite comfortable and enjoyed the condo. It is at one end of the complex so there is no foot traffic in front of the condo.There is an elevator which was important for us since our mom uses a walker.
Some reviews have commented that the condo needs updating. This depends on what ones expectations are. We were fine with formica counter tops instead of granite, the blue carpet didn't really bother us. We will rent this condo again.
Starkey Properties was wonderful to work with. We had an issue through VRBO with an incorrect email address so we weren't receiving necessary information for our trip. I contacted Penny at Starkey Proerties and she was so professional and gracious in helping me get the information I needed.

We had a great time; it was very spacious and clean.

Labor Day weekend with the family

Great location, view, facility. We’ve stayed at Grand Caribbean many times, but this was the first time in this unit. It was very clean, but needs a facelift. Blue carpet, older furniture in LR and too much furniture in master BR. Other 2 Br were updated! Kitchen is well stocked, but so much so that we had no closet or shelves to put our food for the week. Usually the kitchen pantry is available in other condos we’ve stayed in. Balcony furniture was very old. Grad Caribbean still does not allow beach carts on boardwalk. This would be a huge asset to the property with minimal change. The boardwalk could bypass the pool & end near the parking lot.

Great accommodations, had a wonderful time with family, we actually stayed in two condos on the same floor and our entire family had a great time.

Our family goes to the TX beach every year for vacation. This year's trip was no exception to our fun and relaxing trip. Starkey's was super easy to work with and accommodated my requests with friendly and speedy customer service. I will definitely call them again for my rental needs. Our condo was excellent; clean with great ocean views and a short walk to the beach.

This was my families first stay at The Grand Caribbean and we absolutely LOVED IT! Beautiful location, beautiful view! We will be back!

The condo had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. The view of the ocean was wonderful! Our kids loved the pool and the lighted walkway to the beach. We will definitely return!

Beautiful, clean beachfront condo. We enjoyed our time here—wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a wonderful time and the unit assigned to us was great, spacious, clean. All bedrooms were a good size with TV, especially master bdrm. Equipped with plenty of dishes in kitchen. laundry room was also very big with many things available. Pull-out beds worked well. Had pool and ocean view. Some of us had problems connecting to internet, took a ethernet cable but did not work well. Note of caution: water comes out very hot in showers. Would definitely consider staying there again. Thank you!

Place was great! Lots of space and had everything we needed to cook. Property managers extremely nice and easy to work with. View is great and an easy walk to beach! Would definitely stay again. Is about 5 min from town and nice being out away from the crowd. Great for family with kids.
