Couple’s Getaway w/ dogs
This was a perfect spot for my husband and I to take our dogs to the beach. Loved how dog friendly this property is and it’s such an easy drive to the beach, restaurants, etc. We didn’t take the opportunity to use the awesome outdoor grill area but definitely will next time. Can’t wait to go back!

Good cottage for short stay at beach
We stayed here for just two nights as a family of 3 and it's a good, solid condo to stay in. The location is great - you just go down the street to get to the beach. This condo is right beside the pool area and you park at the front of the complex. We liked the overall decoration in the home as bright and beachy but it lacks a few things for just overall comfort that would make it a 5 star. A few suggestions: add some throw rugs for comfort. Some hooks added by the front door would be great so you don't need to put everything on the floor or counter. The bathroom defintiely needs a bigger mat as that floor gets pretty slick with the humidity of the shower, even with the window open. There needs to be extra sheets and pillow cases for the couch. The kitchen needs a good inventory - no matching containers/lids to store food. No scissors, paper, pen, some worn out items. We had issues with the TV - the streaming service cut out frequently while trying to watch movies which may just be a bandwidth issue. Overall it was fine for us to stay a short weekend but a few items just need to get addressed in the kitchen and with the TV and linens. A few quick adjustments would make it a much more comfortable stay.

Peaceful, well-appointed, dog-friendly spit
Convenient spot on Eleventh St. We selected this place to be able to bring our two well-behaved dogs and have easy access to the lovely Port A beach. The complex was well-maintained, unit stocked with essentials.

Great location and community
2 min to the beach via car was super convenient for us to watch sunsets and sunrises. The layout is roomy for my wife and me and out little pup. This community of stand alone villas has a neighborhood feel with several friendly returning "snow birds" that stay for the winter season. Our 2nd stay here!

Very nice condo close to downtown Port Aransas
The hosts Jacenda and Chris were gracious and easy to work with. They made a point to greet us upon arrival and checked in later to see how we were doing. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay - clean, well stocked with kitchen supplies, comfortable bed, and the TV and wifi worked. The beach was a short walk or drive. The pool area looks great for later-in-the-year visits when it warms up.

This was one of the cleanest and well furnished places I have stayed in Port A that was not a hotel. The entire process from listing to checking in and checking out was clearly posted on site and in Villa. When I encountered a question, the response time and solution was immediate. We plan to use this place again on our next trip to Port Aransas!

Great Rainy Labor Day Weekend
Shadow Palm is a great place to stay in Port A. This is our 2nd time to stay with them and will definitely return again. The one bedroom villa is perfect for my husband and me and our 2 small dogs. It is super clean and well stocked with everything you need. It has 2 large TVs and the AC works great. Even though it rained the entire time we were there, we still enjoyed a relaxing getaway. The owner, Jacenda, is very nice and answers your questions quickly. If you are looking for a smaller property that is clean and quiet, look no further!

Incredible villa
My girlfriend and I came down to celebrate her 60th birthday. The villa is beautiful, clean, gorgeous stone bar / counter top. Beautiful pool was outside our door. Small, quant, quiet villa. Had everything we needed. Builder / designer didn't waste any space. Exquisite! Parking was perfect. Only negative was the bed wasn't very comfortable and made noise if you or other moved. We give this rental a 10!! We look forward to renting again! Thank you!

Very cute 1 bedroom. Only things I have negative to say are the chairs around the counter which really is the only place to sit and eat are not at all comfortable. And the pool was dirty. They had the vacuum going to clean it overnight but there was still a few places the next day that it missed. I know for most Texans it’s still to chilly to be in the pool but not me.

A pleasant, dog-friendly stay!
We really appreciated finding a dog-friendly property at the last minute after our reservation for a different place was cancelled unexpectedly. Booking was straightforward and communication was easy. The owner, Jacenda, promptly sent the information for check-in and check-out, and it was all very clear. These condos are individual units and provide wonderful privacy. Most of the other guests we encountered also had dogs with them, which was really nice! Loved not having to carry a key because access was provided by a keypad on the front door. All of the basics for a weekend stay were provided. Parking was easy, and it was only about a 5-minute drive into town for dinner. The bed was memory foam and very comfortable. The sheets were high quality (high thread count, smooth). The interior of the fridge was spotless. The amount and type of furniture was just right. The floors are all tile with a wood look - great for a condo near the beach. The wifi was weak, and cell reception in the general area isn’t consistent, so just be aware of that (this wasn’t a huge concern for us). The TVs were great, and included all of the streaming services we use at home. The pool itself was pretty, although we didn’t use it during the short time we were there. It’s about a 15-minute walk to the beach. You’ll want to bring your own beach towels and anything else you need for the beach. It seems that the property is still in the process of recovering from the February 2021 deep freeze. Much of the landscaping looks like it needed to be replaced. There were exposed cords and a lack of mulch in the landscaping beds, and some broken tiles and outdoor furniture. Overall, it didn’t look as well-kept as in the photos. We found that our unit had a bit of wear and tear, and needs some touch ups and a deep cleaning. The sofa, loveseat, and throw pillows either need deep cleaning or replacement. There was a lot of built-up dust on the door frames, door panels, and front of the kitchen cabinets. We found dust and fur on top of the bedspread and under it (on top of the top sheet), but the area between the top sheet and fitted sheet was clean. The shower caddy needs to have all of the previous soap and shampoo residue cleaned off of it. The shower curtain could have also used a cleaning. We also felt that the unit smelled a little of mold, maybe from the dampness of the nearby ocean? Overall a pleasant stay near the beach! Thank you, Jacenda!

We loved our stay at Shadow Palm. Our Villa was clean and stocked with all that we needed. The AC works great, which is a huge must for me at the beach. The pool is in the middle of all the Villas. It is quiet and clean and has an ample amount of lounge chairs and chairs. While we were at the pool, we met Pam, the property manager. She was so nice and informative. We are so happy to have found these great Villas. We will definitely stay at Shadow Palm again.

One of the best rentals we’ve ever had (and we’ve had many!)
Shadow Palm Villas was the perfect rental for our family of 4 and dog. Located centrally for everything you need in town and for the beach, the complex had under a dozen nicely positioned villa units set around the lovely swimming pool as the main focal point. Each unit is detached so none of the usual noise and banging around from the attached wall of a hotel room or condo. Parking was stress free as you have your own clearly designated two parking spots plus communal visitor spots. The unit itself was super clean with a new tile flooring, contemporary kitchen and bathroom. None of the usual big bug issues we’ve encountered at other older wood siding rentals on the island over the years of coming down here. Lastly it really helps when you find good owners and staff on site to make the experience top notch. Jacenda was so helpful ahead of our visit with whatever questions we had including a very weird request I had to check in an hour earlier if possible to be able to watch my England team in the Euro Finals! So grateful they were able to accommodate this special request for even though our boys couldn’t bring it home. Pam on site was so friendly and helpful and was there at 2 to make sure we could get in to the unit ok. We saw her several times during the week we were there and she worked really hard to keep the whole property a great place to be. Would definitely recommend this place for any families with or without dogs and we’re definitely going to be coming back next year for our annual trip to Port A! Cheers!
