Condo was clean and furnished nicely. King bed was very comfortable. Large master bath with plenty of storage. It was nice to have the coffee bar with the Keurig. Wonderful view from the great chairs on balcony. Definitely would stay there again.

We're delighted to hear that you found our condo clean and comfortably furnished. Knowing that you enjoyed the king bed and the spacious master bath with plenty of storage truly warms our hearts.
We're thrilled that the coffee bar with the Keurig added an extra touch to your stay—there's nothing like a good cup of coffee to start the day! And yes, the view from the balcony is indeed wonderful, especially when seated in those great chairs.
Your kind words inspire us to continue providing the best possible experience for our guests. We can't wait to welcome you back for another memorable stay!
Warm regards,
Life in Paradise Team

Island Retreat #105 Stay

July 2023

Overall

Everything was great about our stay. We were able to check in a bit early and received easy communication regarding key code. The unit was nicely stocked with towels and essentials. The condo was very clean and did not have that “beach” smell you sometimes get. The personnel that was staffed also addressed any questions or needs we had. The condo provided a quiet stay as well.

Very Clean

We had 2 small families stay in this condo and it was very roomy. Everything was very clean. I loved how they provided many towels and not just 2 per bathroom. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Extra fans was also a great perk. Amenities were awesome and clean. We plan to book again on our next visit.

Wonderful, relaxing stay

Review of Unit 105, Island Retreat

October 2022

Overall

Life in Paracise is a terrific property manager! We arrived on Port Aransas before our 4 o'clock checkin time and called Life in Paradise. They checked on the our propertty, said it would be ready early and that they would call me. They did call and send me the door code at 2:30pm! The property was verry clean. We enjoyed our stay very much. The reason we stayed at that location is the view of the gulf from our balcony. Perfect setting.

Manager's Response

Thank you for the 5-star review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the view! We hope you come back and see us soon! Thank you for staying at Life in Paradise!

You can go wrong with this place, have been staying here since I could barely walk, now at 37 it has the same great family feel with updated modern rooms. Price is always great and we always have a great time here. Highly recommend!

We stayed in IR105 and it was perfection! Great views, clean rooms and friendly staff. The unit had everything we needed and the large pool and pickle ball court were a hit with my kids. We enjoyed everything about our stay and the security of being in a semi private area where people could not just drive in and out without being guests. Everything was well maintained and we will definitely be looking into another vacation in one of these units. In my initial reservation I had made mistakes on my dates, but the friendly staff at Life in Paradise were understanding and able to help me to change the dates and find this available unit. My kids and I had a wonderful time and we will be back in the future.

Manager's Response

We appreciate your review, we are happy to hear that the property you reserved had everything you needed to make your stay enjoyable. We hope you come back and see us anytime you are in Port A!
