We had an amazing time. The boardwalk to the beach was great and the condo was clean and perfect. We will definatley be coming back. The property was amazing with a pool and a play area for the kids. The kitchen had everything you would need for simple cooking and a corkscrew!

WOW!

We just came home from a 9 day stay at Mar Azul and I feel 10 years younger! So relaxed!! We walked the beach, grilled by the pool, played basketball, shuffleboard and four square for hours. The condo was adorable, CLEAN and had EVERYTHING we needed.

We have stayed in other condos on this property but this one is perfectly located to the pool, grilling areas and the beach! We could watch the kids play from the balcony.

In the past we have gone out to eat much more - this was just too convenient! We stayed in and enjoyed the beach and the Island Retreat property.

Try Mar Azul soon! Thanks so much!!!

This was our first visit to Mustang Island and we found it very enjoyable. The condo was exactly what we were expecting from pictures and description. It was roomy, well decorated and everything we needed for setting up housekeeping for a month. The grounds at Island Retreat are immaculate and all the personal are friendly and helpful. We could see the ocean from our deck and it was just a short stroll to the beach. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Our favorite restaurants were The Beach Cafe and the Wildhorse has excellant hamburgers. Lots of great seafood at Cody's, Moby Dicks and Snoopys. Did not care for Castaways. Wished there was more to do in the way of entertainment. We did attend a play and danced at Bernies, but mostly just relaxed and walked the beach.

This beach retreat is the perfect getaway in Port Aransas! Positioned close to both the pool and beach, it is also close to nearby restaurants and shopping. Not to mention, a guard is on premise. The bedrooms are both spacious, having two large beds in each room and bathrooms are clean. Sit outside on this patio and enjoy beachcombers coming and going, kids splashing in the oversized pool, or just read a book and enjoy the tranquility of the sea breeze...the beach itself is easily accessible, and you have the option of taking your car on the beach as well. Book this place, you won't be disappointed!

Highly recommended for families with kids

5 of 5
Submitted: August 14, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We've stayed at various places in Port A in the past, but the unit beats all in terms of location and convenience. We would definitely recommend it to our friends and wouldn't mind staying there on our next visit.

PROS:
1. You can see the beach from the back balcony which also faces out to the pool.
2. Nice boardwalk and a short walk to the beach.
3. The AC with the fans in strategic places made for a cool (sometimes too cool) stay.
4. Wi-Fi and TVs in every room.
5. Overall, the unit was clean and serviceable.
6. Short drive to the ferry and town.

CONS:
1. The front office wasn't customer-friendly. They told us they do not handle the maintenance of the unit.
2. The dish washer had standing water, so we avoided using it, since the office couldn't do anything about it.
3. Both dryers were broken in the laundry room across from the unit. We took our laundry to the local laundromat.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your review. Our condo is one of the few in this complex that does not participate in their rental pool. We are a part of VRBO so we can treat our guests with respect and provide the best customer service possible. We are currently addressing the CONS you have provided for us with the complex to ensure that future guests will get the same customer service from them that we try to provide ourselves. The dishwasher, unfortunately, was beyond repair by the regular maintenance at the complex, and they had to contract out to determine that their was a defective part. Thankfully, it was still under warranty and will be replaced within the week.
