Port Aransas Condo Recommendation Request

L.:

Our family has an annual beach trip in Port Aransas every summer. I can only speak from experience. We normally stay at Port Royal. The pool area is beautiful and very large. (what I would call several adjoining pools and water slides. Your eight yr old would love it! Covered tables and lounge chairs and music on certain nights. Also it is very convenient to the beach. They have shuffleboard, tennis courts, hot tubs and close to Port Aransas should you wish to shop and dine. We have been very pleased and enjoy this annually. My children have been since they were babies. Now 11, 7 and 3. Pack lots of sunscreen, beach buckets and tools and dvd's and books for the children to enjoy. They will provide you with a playpen for your 2 year old. I have packed crib sheets and blankets before. The rooms provide washer/dryer and kitchen area. Make your meals ahead of time so you don't spend it cooking. Each of our families take turns making a breakfast and a dinner for a day. Pack favorite snacks & drinks. Take a portable cooler for the beach and some type of umbrella for coverage on the beach if you plan on staying several hours. Also mosquito spray to be on the safe side for the evenings (expecially if you play shuffleboard-located near grass.) Hope this helps. Hope you have a blast!!

I lived in Port Aransas last year after my divorce. Nice fun place. You should look into The Mayan Princess, Port Royal or the Aransas princess. Those are right on the beach and very family friendly. Port Royal is my favorite...The swimming pool is to die for. The prices are steep but it's well worth it. Port A is expensive during the season...Good Luck!!!

I highly recommend La Mirage for a family environment. We go down there all the time becasue my husbands family has a condo there. There are 2 pools, hot tubs, and direct access to the beach. This area of the beach is less crowded with your normal beach goers so there's not a lot of partying and stuff in this area. It's a great environment for families (especially for little kids, I have 2)! It's not the top of the price chain but it's definately a relaxing environment and well worth the trip!

Good luck and have fun!

I would recommend the Aransas Princess condominium. Until recently when they sold it, my grandparents had a condo unit there for family use, and we have been there several times with the kids. It's well run and clean, and it's right on the beach. You can go to the beach and pool over and over again each day. The only negative is that you cannot take a child who isn't potty-trained into the pool. I wish I had an owner's name for you to contact. Try Googling it to see what you find. Have fun!
