Sandcastle Condominiums Unit 430

Loved the view. No direct sunlight which was beautiful and made for great shade throughout the day. Very short walk to the beach. Staff always friendly and accommodating. The only issue is that my husband's allergies went nuts, and that only happens when there have been cats in the home. If you have pets in the property you should probably list that as a side note or disclaimer. Otherwise it was great for us.

What a phenomenal getaway for Fathers Day weekend! Took my two younger sons to Sandcastle Condominiums for the weekend and we LOVED our stay. It was my first time in Port Aransas and the staff was more than willing to help point me in the right direction for good places to eat and souvenir shopping. The room was clean, comfortable and had a great view of the ocean. What I enjoyed most about it was how family friendly everything was. With both of my sons under 10, I was a little bit nervous about them “seeing” to much but that wasn’t a problem at Sandcastle. We will be back!

The condo was extremely clean and the view was exceptional! I loved the patio and huge glass doors where you can see the ocean view. Pictures online is exactly what you get! There is not a long walk to the beach which I loved since we have little ones. Thanks for letting us use your wonderful condo!

Once you get past the cleaning issues of the unit (used menstrual pad and food on floor) and the grounds (used band-aids, beer cans and random garbage), the rest is pretty nice. The size of the unit was good for our family of 2 adults and 2 young kids. However, it would not be big enough if the kids were teens or adults (especially with the excess of furniture). The room had a decent semi-private balcony with a decent view. The pool is usable if you go when it first opens (10am), but if you go in the evening, it's just people soup with a lot of alcohol, so not good for a family. The best thing was that it's a non-smoking property and I only saw two people breaking that, so that was pleasant. The beach is mediocre as far as Texas goes - not one of the better nor worse ones we've been to. The price was a little high for the value, but that may be partially due to being on a weekend in the summer. So overall, it was adequate - nothing fantastic or awful, just a lot in between. As a side note not pertaining to the property, take your food/drink with you as the island is too busy to get a decent meal with a group of 4 without at least an hour wait and the ferry is unreliable (might take 10 minutes, might take 70).
