The Port Aransas Sand Fest is the last weekend in April, and has some of the most spectacular professional sand sculptures you'll ever see on display. We enjoyed driving our car right on the beach and bringing our own beverages and chairs to cool off on the beach afterward.

Great property and staff! The pool was amazing and the walk to the beach wasn’t tha bad. Rooms were clean and comfy. We stayed off the pool on Spring Break and it wasn’t too rowdie, which we appreciated. Very family friendly.
