Awesome Matagorda getaway!
We really enjoyed the Island Time condo! The community property with the lagoon and pool was very pleasant and had easy access to the beach. The decks had wonderful views of the ocean and were a great place to sit and watch the sunrise and moonrise over the water. The condo was clean and comfortable with separate areas for extended family. Thank you for a perfect stay!

Quality & Clean Rental
Very clean. No issues with any appliances, etc. Owner communicated quickly and effectively. Only minor complaint is the mattress toppers are too short length wise for the beds so your feet feel like they are "off the bed/on a different level. 4.75 stars.

Nice place, but...
The condo we stayed at was nice sized and seemed well taken care of on the indoors. The outside of the property seemed a little bit worn (deck mainly). That didnt really effect our stay because we couldnt really use the deck to due to a very bad mosquito population in the area. The area was saturated due to a recent hurricane so perhaps that was why. All in all nice place, just a little aged.

Second stay and will stay again!
This was our second stay at Island Time. We found this little gem summer of 2023 and knew we would be back for 2024! Located in a great little gated community right off the road to the beach. You can walk across the dunes as well, but we prefer to drive on with our 4x4. House was just as expected, clean, comfortable beds, plenty of towels and amenities. Club house has a pool and laundry facilities. Washers are free, dryers take $1 in quarters. Plenty of room with two bedrooms down stairs (one with a queen and a second with 2 twin bed) upstairs has a loft bedroom with it own balcony and bathroom (one queen and 2 twin beds). Tv has built in apps such as Netflix, we did take our own Firestick and had no issues. Internet works great! Thank you again Sommer and Keith, we’ll see you next summer!

Great ocean view
We enjoyed the pool and the ocean at our stay. We watched the sunset on the beach after a short walk through the dune path and at the Matagorda Bay Nature park. It was a beautiful view from the porch & balcony at night with the full moon.

Great place for family vacation
The home was clean, updated, with very well equipped kitchen for cooking & eating in, and beds were nice & comfy! The location was great as it was a short walk or drive to the beach. If you walk there may be mosquitos so use bug spray (we brought some but host thoughtfully provided spray also). Large patio was beautiful for viewing beach and sunrise/sunsets!
Sommer was extremely quick to respond to any question I had before and during the trip. Very helpful!!! We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect!
I had an excellent stay at the beach house. The rental was perfect with no issues during my time there. The air conditioning worked great downstairs, keeping downstairs cool and comfortable even during the hottest days. The upstairs did get a bit warmer, but the owner provided portable fans to help keep the temperature down. The pool was a major highlight, providing a refreshing oasis to relax in after a day at the beach. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The location near the beach was ideal, though the hike down to the water was a bit difficult for someone out of shape like me. But it was still manageable and worth it to have such a great spot so close to the ocean. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a peaceful beach getaway. The owner was responsive and made the whole rental process seamless. I couldn't have asked for a better vacation rental - it exceeded my expectations and I hope to stay here again!

Peaceful Beach Stay
We enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. We stayed after TX school start and so were one of only a handful of groups in this group of beach apartments. Down the road a few miles there's a stores and restaurants. We enjoyed the pool to ourselves for quite a while on one afternoon. We used the kitchen for meals and found all the utensils we needed. The mattresses were excellent. Would come here again for sure.
