Fishing get away

Everything was as described, and the unit was arranged perfectly for us. Master suite allowed for privacy for us while the “kids” 18-25 had plenty
Of room throughout the rest of the unit. Love having the corner unit. Three full baths was a game changer!!! Solid cast net pulls and multi species fished out! The complex is a perfect mix of activities from swimming and fishing to pickleball. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. The only thing that would make this a perfect unit would be if it was pet friendly
Ruben A. from San Antonio - Posted: 12/15/2025

you so much for sharing this! We love hearing how well the layout worked for your group, especially having the master suite as a private retreat while the “kids” had room to spread out. A corner unit with three full baths really is a game changer. It sounds like you made the most of Aruba Bay Resort — from great fishing and swimming to pickleball and the laid-back, friendly atmosphere. We appreciate the note about pet friendliness and will be sure to pass that along. We’d love to have you back for another fun, memory-filled stay on the water!

Great Stay

We have stayed at Aruba Bay 3 times and we cannot wait to go back. Great location near the beach, great pool and we love that we can fish from our back porch.
Karla R. - Posted: 8/4/2025

Thank you for being a loyal guest and choosing Aruba Bay three times! We’re thrilled you love the location, pool, and especially fishing from the back porch. We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next visit!

Super cute, clean and great by water

We have stayed everywhere near White Cap Beach in this general area and this condo was the best one yet with the exception of pesky mosquitos that can't be helped and the sight of some roaches that I am sure can be cured with better pest control to the unit. This is the only reason I could not give full stars but otherwise LOVED IT. Everything in this condo was spotless and well cared for. It wasn't like some places that seem over stayed and worn down or miss used. You can tell the owners of this unit take very good care of the place and make sure guests feel at home. All decor and furniture are very modern and even new. Kitchen is upgraded very nice and everything was in working order. They even have one of those nice ice makers with the soft ice nuggets, a Ninja brand air fryer and blender, and nice Keurig coffee maker for you. The housekeeping is superb. Towels and linen felt all sanitary and clean like a hotel. The extra linen in the closet was wrapped in plastic to keep clean as well. We could not get over the amount of beds in this condo and amount of space we had for a 3 bedroom. 3 bathrooms with showers made it so much easier for our family of 5 to get ready in no time. Outside we enjoyed the decks both upstairs and downstairs and loved that we had nice views from the water, even from bed. Fishing was such an easy thing to do anytime of day or night and even though we did not use, we noticed a nice paddle kayak outside. Evenings outside with some cold beverages was so pleasant here. Again our only downside was the fact that there were many mosquitoes during our stay in June and we did see roaches hanging from small babies to medium sized in the kitchen only within the first few hours of our arrival with no opened food on the counters. We believe both mosquitoes and roaches could be due to the large concrete drainage pipe that is located just under and very close to this unit outside that drains to the bay.Will stay again though if managed.Thanks for the stay
Nichole C. from San Antonio - Posted: 7/3/2025

Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re glad you loved the condo’s cleanliness, modern amenities, and spacious layout. Please know that this property receives quarterly pest control and hasn’t had any prior issues, but we truly appreciate your comments and will look into this again to ensure everything stays in top shape. We look forward to welcoming you back!

We enjoyed the back porch and location. Very clean but a bit musty.

Good place to stay in North Padre

The location and property are great. The only drawbacks were the mosquitos that made it impossible to enjoy the balconies (bring repellent) and the tiny frying pan that had no anti-stick material, so we could not cook a large meal and or clean the food off the pan. Other than that, we had fun fishing and hanging out at the great pool. We will likely return.

Great Place!

I almost feel like I should give this place a bad review so no one else discovers our new favorite place to stay on Padre Island! However, I will say this place was great! Very accommodating for my family, close to the beach and comfortable!

Stolen Fishing Rods & Dirty

Our fishing rods were stolen off our private porch in the back by the bay, called office staff about the issue and they said they would get with there team members & definitely get back to us that day. And up to this day nobody has got back to us! One of those fishing rods had very sentimental value to us it belonged to a love one that has passed. House was dirty. And ice machine made horrible nose all night that didn't allow our guests in the livingroom to sleep.
CATHERINE S. from SAN ANTONIO - Posted: 7/28/2024

Please feel free to give our office a call for your next vacation needs, and we’re happy to update you on the progress of your mentioned concerns. We look forward to welcoming you back to offer you a more curated experience!

Plenty of room and great view

We had plenty of room for our whole family! We loved having the water view with the fishing spot! I spent every quiet morning out on the deck and loved watching the sunset go down. The guys caught tons of fish. Would definitely book again!

Great spot

The Star Fish’ Inn was a great spot for our group of 7. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable, and there was always plenty of hot water for showering. The house was clean although my allergies did flare while there. Maybe last users had a pet there.?
My only complaints are with the pool cleanliness at the resort. It doesn’t take long for the water to get cloudy, so googles are definitely needed or your eyes will get irritated.
The house itself was great...does need some new water hoses.
Meghan B. from Boerne - Posted: 6/21/2024

Thank you for the response! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the unit. While Padre Escapes manages the interior of this unit, the on-site staff/HOA manages the complex as a whole, not Padre Escapes. Not to worry, we will be happy to forward your concerns about the pool to the on-site property management team. We look forward to having you back!

Family trip to Aruba Bay

Location is wonderful and there was lots of space for our group, my only feedback was the lack of kitchen supplies provided, last year we stayed a couple of doors down and the kitchen was fully stocked with adequate utensils and cookware though this wasn't the case this time, BUT we did enjoy the air fryer.
Francesca D. from San Antonio - Posted: 6/18/2024
