I'm going with a solid 4 stars on this rating for Beachhead Condos solely based upon location and…read moreoverall amenities for the pricepoint. If you care about easy beach access, a nice freshwater pool, reserved covered parking, and peace & quiet during your stay, Beachhead may be just right for you. If quirky old properties make you squeamish, keep looking for a newer hotel or other new construction short-term rental. Note that we stayed in Unit 106 and rented via VRBO; your experience may vary. Our 3rd floor unit had 2 bedrooms with queen-sized beds, 2 full baths en suite, a large balcony with dune and Gulf views, full electric kitchen, cold A/C, and fine WIFI. There were 2 futon sofas in the living room to max the sleeping capacity to 6, but we found the space to be perfect for our family of 2 adults and 1 teen. We never heard any of our neighbors and got the impression that many of the units are owner-occupied or long-term rentals rather than vacationers. Other shared amentities of note: - charcoal grills & picnic tables - playscape - large gameroom - volley ball court - heated pool - key-coded gates to pool and beach access - shower station at beach access point The property was built in 1969 in a primo location right at beach marker 4, somehow ideally situated close enough to the action of "downtown" Port A, but far enough away from both beach access roads to limit the biggest (and rowdiest) crowds. Being 50+ years old, the property has some quirks and does show need for updates. During our Summer 2021 stay, we noted that the pool restroom showers were out of order and there were numerous drainage issues throughout the property following a week of heavy rains. The heated pool and adjacent clubhouse with lounge and games tables were in excellent shape, perhaps recently overhauled. Our unit 106 clearly needed refreshed wall coverings, remodeled bathrooms, and appliance updates, as well as more frequent exterminator treatment (although roaches are almost impossible to avoid on the Gulf coast, it's still a bit upsetting to see even 1; we made sure all dishes were cleaned right away and dry goods effectively sealed). (more to come...)

I've never had as bad a service as when I met these people. Spent an afternoon waiting on them to…read moreshow up for an estimate. They were referred to me by one of the biggest builders in So Texas. Showed up and said they will get back with an estimate and they could do the job in the next two weeks. They never called or emailed a quote as promised. Tried to call and they never answered. Left messages, never returned them. If a business won't do what they said they would do or won't answer calls or return messages, they would most likely screw you. Take it for what it's worth.

We tried calling several locksmiths, but no one called us back--except Islander Lock Out. The gentleman was the only one who cared enough to respond, and not only did he call back, he gave us his business address so he could take a look and see if he could help. Who does that anymore? And not only did he help--he hand-crafted a key from scratch. No spare, no code--just pure skill and experience. He was incredibly patient and persistent, working through every little challenge until the key was perfect. You can tell he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about people. Thanks to him, we didn't lose a whole day of our trip--and we were back on the road with our bike running like nothing happened. If you ever find yourself in a bind, Islander Lock Out is the one to call. Honest, reliable, highly skilled, and just a good human being.
