Enjoy your next vacation in this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo on the beach in Port Aransas, Texas which can sleep 6. The soft blue and yellow walls play perfectly with the wainscoting to bring the beach feel inside. Find comfort in the couch with large throw pillows and two overstuffed arms chairs in the living room with a flat-screen TV and ceiling fan to stay fresh. The stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen with light granite counters leave you worry-free. The fully equipped kitchen has an island with 4 bar stools that opens into the living room. A smaller matching table seats two nearby. A swimming dolphin art piece points the way to the master bedroom (BR1) with a queen-sized bed with a red, white, and blue sailor theme that complements the soft blue-grey walls for ultimate relaxation. Wicker-and-metal furniture mimics waves and palm trees to keep you in the vacation mindset. The attached bathroom hosts a gorgeous walk-in shower to easily relax after a day at the beach. There is also a wall-mounted flat-screen TV. Across the hall, the second bedroom (BR2) has a queen bed and a set of twin bunk beds with a fun flip-flop theme. The TV above the dresser will keep everyone entertained.  The second full bathroom has double sinks to help keep your vacation peaceful and cute seashell décor in ocean blues and greens. The private patio overlooks the yard with a pool, playground, and partial views of the Gulf. You can enjoy the cool ocean breezes and swaying palm trees in the patio chairs. Amenities include: TV, wireless internet, access to charcoal BBQ pits and picnic areas, laundry facilities, 2 boardwalks to the beach, 2 shared pools.

This is such a nice unit and it was really clean, such a nice surprise. The unit is well stocked and please note to the owners that I threw away their can opener and bought a new one for them. The beds are comfortable and the furniture is so livable. Nice unit.

We loved the house. It is very cute, has everything we need and it's very convenient to the beach and amenities. The kids enjoyed the pool, beach volleyball, basket and tenis/pickle ball courts! The beach is a couple of minutes away and there is a shower to remove the sand before coming back to the condos.

We enjoyed our stay at the Island Resort Dolphin #53. Living in Paradise staff were wonderful. Our maintenance crew guys were outstanding and Alex and Maria in the main office were very helpful. We're still exploring areas in the southern part of the USA so we don't plan on coming back to Port A next winter. If we would return, we would contact LIP for our rental needs. Thank you again!

We absolutely love this place! This is our 3rd year in a row to stay in 53. I love the setup and decor, it feels like our little home away from home. Will likely be back next year as well. Can't beat the location!

Me my husband and 5 year old son had a wonderful time. We loved that the beach was just a walk away instead of having to pack up and drive there. The condo was very cozy and welcoming. Brings back memories from visiting when I was young and went with family. We will be coming back next year hopefully and will always stay in IR53.

Loved our stay at the Dolphin Retreat! It was clean enough and comfortable for the 5 of us. Being able to walk right out to the pool, basketball/volleyball courts, bbq, and beach was great. Would stay again.

This is our second time staying in this unit. I'll probably choose it again. I love the location, setup and specifically the room with the full size bed and bunk beds. The kitchen had everything that we needed. Beautiful place, the only thing I would change is my length of the stay. It's never long enough.
