Cute villas close to the beach
The villa was well appointed with a nice size bedroom with a king size bed ( very comfy), good kitchen and nice size living room. It was about 1/2 mile to gain access to the beach. The pool area was nice, but the water was not heated so didn’t really use it. Laundry was shared and was easy to access.

Good, solid contender
We’ve stayed at many places over the years in Port Aransas, nearly all of them excellent or close to it. A few dogs. This was a good location, nice facility, great host, and reasonable price. I love all the big, mature palms and the great pool. Laundry facilities on-site (free, not coin-op) is a nice plus. Good to see an ice maker in the fridge vs sad ice cube trays.
This is the best place in Port A to stay with your family and fur babies. If like having privacy and ability to have dinner, beach,swim and shop and not feel guilty about leaving your fur baby back at your Villa, this is the place to stay.
If you are a party animal and want to throw a big party stay at a multistory condo.
Shadow Palm's saltwater pool is a refreshing way to start or end your day.
I plan to return soon.
Bonus: the owners are awesome!
Hint: if you make smoothies pack your blender. I make them every morning for my daughter so she can take meds and I was sure to pack mine. So if you are wanting to make frozen margaritas pack your blender to be on the safe side.

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!
