IR47: Shorely Blessed Island Retreat

This is a perfect vacation rental for families with kids. Comfy beds, a bunk bed with trundle, simple and stylish furnishings. The kitchen is huge and well equipped. We decided to drive to the beach, so it was just a quick 3 minutes to get there. The pool is a nice spot to splash when not at the beach. Our only complaint is the shower didn't drain properly, but that could be fixed easily. We would definitely stay here again!

This was the best place we have stayed. My grandkids absolutely loved their bedroom and own bathroom. Being on the lower level was a plus. The pool was fantastic and kiddos loved swimming everyday. Close to the beach and all the restaurants and other sites. The personal touches in this condo are so special. Even snacks were provided. Will definitely be back next year. Thank you for all your help with questions we had and quick response. Thanks again for the excellent hospitality.

The condo was beautiful and very clean! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and then some. The bathrooms were very nice and clean. We had More towels than needed even with two children. The beds were comfortable and the TVs in both rooms was very nice. We all had a blast at the beach! We will definitely come back.

This was our 1st time at the Island Retreat Resort and it did not disappoint. We loved our unit and had a great time. We plan on booking again sooner rather than later.

Had a birthday girls trip and we loved everything about the condo. Loved the beachy decor, location and all the amenities. Definitely would recommend and cant wait until our next visit

Excellent condo. A few minor set backs but other than that we loved the room. We got a chance to meet the owner as well. She was very nice and accommodating. I will inquire on staying at that room again.

We stayed at Shorely Blessed in October for Sand Fest. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect spot to stay because we could walk across the condo’s beautiful community lawn and be right at the gate for Sand Fest! The condo’s kitchen is very well equipped & stocked. The owners did a great job having every utensil, pot, pan & spice we needed! The condo is beautifully furnished and decorated with wonderful beach life decor. The kitchen is super spacious and the living room has plenty of seating as well. The beds were really comfy so I enjoyed a good weekend of sleep while we were there. The volleyball court & Pool looked great but we didn’t get to take advantage of those amenities. When we go back to Port Aransas I sure hope there is availability at Shorely Blessed because I’d definitely stay there again.

Last October, we were staying at Shorely blessed for girls trip. Everything was perfect, decor beautiful, so clean, scenery awesome, and those beds!! Terry is an amazing lady. Enjoyed meeting her. We have recommended her condos . Hope to be back soon.

We stayed at Shorely Blessed with our 3 Senior grandkids. The property was wonderful, clean and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. We rented a golf cart and the kids loved riding along the beach. Highly recommend!

We've stayed at Shorely Blessed as a family multiple times and absolutely loved it!! So much room…and we love the easy access to the pool and beach!!Terry thinks of everything you need all the way down to the sweet snacks she leaves for guest!

After my family sold their house at Port A we had too find a place to stay while visiting the island. A friend suggested Shorely Blessed and we are so glad they did. The place was so inviting with its beach motif, well stocked kitchen to its baths and the beds were great for sleeping. We loved sitting the back patio in the morning drinking coffee and watching the sun come up over the gulf. However, my grandkids loved its proximity to the pool and the close walk to the beach. These days, when we think of Port A, we think Shorely Blessed.

Our family loves Shorely Blessed! Terry and her husband go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and then some. You cannot beat the short walk to the beach or the quick drive to the main streets of Port A. We love spending our mornings and evenings sitting on the porch listening to the waves and watching the beautiful Port A sunsets with a cup of coffee. We would (and have!) recommend Shorely Blessed to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway!

A family favorite!!We have stayed at Shorely blessed, beach bungalow, and beach bliss the most peaceful and perfect places to relax and recharge and enjoy! This trip was “Senior Celebration” for our daughter's high school graduation. The location couldn't be better. The pool is just steps off the patio, and beach only a bit further. Jimmy and Terry are sweet Christians who make sure your stay is the best! It felt like home away from home with all the perfect beach amenities! We always look forward to our return!!

My husband Mike, his brother and I stayed in Shorely Blessed while in Port A for a fishing trip. It was amazing - had every amenity one would want, immaculate, beautifully appointed and the guest services were impeccable.So close and convenient to wonderful sightseeing and great restaurants. A most precious memorable experience
