Executive Keys

We had an amazing stay at The Executive Keys. It was quiet and clean. The pool water sparkled and the beach was real close. I would definitely stay again.

We had a great time at the Executive Keys! The executive suite condo was perfect for my family of three. The room was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. We loved the location, just a short walk over the bridge and we were on the beach by mile marker 18. After a long day at the beach we went back to the condo and relaxed by the pool. We also had fun playing ping pong at the Recreational center. Overall a great time with exceptional staff. Will recommend to family and friends.

The room was new, clean and well stocked. The staff was very friendly and the location is right by the beach. Thanks!

I chose this place because I sort of thought this was where my family stayed when I was 8-9. Not quite as sure now. These garish colored condos are looking dilapidated. But who cares? You are here for the beach right?The desk clerk wasn't overly friendly, enthusiastic or helpful upon check-in. That really set the stage for the rest of our time in Port Aransas. The fridge did smell mildewy. In fact the whole room did, but I guess that's typical of the beach. The futon/couch left much to be desired. The mattress was thin, dirty (we covered with a provided sheet) and the metal support springs ass poking when sitting down. The toilet was a micro 12" high stool that held and flushed a crazy amount of water for being on an island where you would think water would be at a premium. Executive Keys could also use a few more BBQ grills.The various handymen around looked straight out of the Peckinpah film Straw Dogs. As they passed by, they looked at me like they could just as soon kill me. Towels were delivered promptly. There's "free" wi-fi. A kitchen was in room and I cooked seafood every night. Honestly it was better than most of our lunches out. And it's close to the beach. For the $130 price, though, I felt cheated. At least I didn't have to drive my car to the beach and get sand in it.The most annoying part of the stay came when one of the Straw Dogs-esque maintenance workers arrived to install an air filter and do silly little checks on door locks, smoke alarms, and TV remotes. He then sat down at the table and filled out paperwork. The thought crossed my mind the guy was even casing our room. I mean really . . . can't you get that done between guests?I wish I'd paid a little more and stayed in a high rise.

I simply cannot say enough good things about this resort.My husband and I have stayed there three times now, and each time, it seems to get better. The staff is friendly, always available and lots of fun. The facilities are always so clean and uncrowded. We will never stay anywhere else.We've stayed in the efficiencies as well as the two bedroom condos, but they have apartments that can accommodate up to a dozen people! The prices are the lowest you'll find on a nice beach, and every condo we've had has had more than enough kitchen space and equipment to cook meals nightly.Word of advice: Bring your own groceries. The store in that area gouges the tourists, and there isn't much of a selection. And don't drive to the beach if you don't have to. A parking pass costs $12, and you can just walk across the boardwalk from the resort.I do have a small request, though... update your web page, guys! It does NOT do you justice! The rooms are so gorgeous and clean, the layouts perfect for families, the views spectacular... tell the world! (http://www.execkeys.com)Thank you, Executive Keys, for always making us feel like family. We'll see you next year... if not sooner. ;)

Just stayed here from Sun-Thurs in unit #112 *CONDENSED REVIEW*All in all, I was pretty happy here. I'd give this place less stars if they were more expensive or priced as high as other condos, but for the price it was pretty good. If you're looking for a cheap, no-frills (this is not a resort) yet CLEAN place that is good enough to house you for however long your vacation is, try this place! *DETAILED REVIEW*The price was VERY reasonable ($79/night) for what we got. It was the cheapest price I found for a condo and was competitive with local hotel prices! AND we were right next to the beach. There was even a private boardwalk straight to the beach. PROS: - The people who work here are VERY friendly and knowledgeable about local happenings - Our room was nicely decorated and very clean. All our stuff seemed really new and nice - We had a large patio with two nice patio chairs - Queen bed, twin bed with LOTS of pillows to use as a couch, TV, dresser in a closet and full kitchen (oven, microwave, stove top, sink, fridge with freezer, toaster, coffeemaker and even a small table with two stools). No dishwasher, so we had to wash all the dishes we used ourselves. No biggie, they give you dish washing liquid, a drying tray and paper towels. You get a TON of nice dishes with silverware, lots of pots and pans and tons of other dishes (platters, etc.) and utensils you might need for cooking- We had a tankless water heater so we always had ample amounts of hot water to shower with - You get free daily towel service which includes bath towels, hand towels and washcloths - They gave us two keys and we had no issues checking in (with our reservation) or checking out- There is a rec room which is kinda neat. A pretty clean room with lots of tables and chairs if you wanted to have a gathering for a reunion or whatever. There's a ping pong table and foosball table to use as well. But you have to get equipment from the office with a deposit. But the ping pong balls can be purchased from a vending machine for a quarter each. haha - Washing machines and dryers available at the rec room- There's also shuffleboard and a volleyball net, but again you need to get equipment from the office- Small playground for kiddos- You can have pets in certain units at certain times of the year. And for those of you who are allergic to certain animals or don't want to deal with a room that has possibly been peed in or smells like dog/urine (ie: ME), you can specifically request a unit that doesn't allow pets - Only have to be 21 to reserve so those of us who are less than 25 AND also responsible can feel welcome here. (FYI, MOST places in Port A require you to be 25+ to reserve)CONS: - Office hours are 9 to 5 (even though check-in isn't until 4), which is kinda crappy if you wanted any game equipment after 5. But if you need to check in after then, I hear you just call them and someone will happily come out to check you in - We spent about 15 min. trying to look for the thermostat before finding it *behind* the fridge. We had to literally shove the fridge out of the way (which then sort of blocks the entrance into the room) so we could adjust the temperature in our room. Yeah. - The water pressure was pretty sucky and the showerhead was waay too low. I'm not even that tall (5'4") and I had to stoop down to wash off my hair. And the tub/shower was pretty small in itself- Like I said, you get free daily towel service but the bath towels are not that great. Not fluffy and pretty small. Bring your own bath towels, especially if you're a bigger person. Also, the assortment they give you changes every day. The first day we got a nice assortment of bath and hand towels and washcloths but the second day we just got four bath towels and a couple washcloths. The third day we got a different assortment as well - There is a heated pool here which would be nice to swim in during the day but avoid it like the plague near dusk and at night. We tried to swim after the sun had gone down and were literally swarmed with mosquitoes and had to run back inside. The pool definitely seems like a mosquito breeding ground and I'm sure the fact that it's heated doesn't help. Also, there's no hot tub :o( - None of the efficiencies have a beachfront view. Only the 2/3 bedroom condos and townhomes have a beachfront view. There were quite a few stray cats (we saw 3 or 4 different ones) that seemed to live around the property. I didn't mind it because I love cats and they don't bother you and will leave if you get near them, but if you're really allergic to cats or concerned about your children's safety (uh, rabies) or thinking about letting your animals wander around the property, just know this. My boyfriend broke up a pretty severe cat fight out in the parking lot one day where both cats wound up with gashes in their legs and were bleeding. :o/

This place was so great! I had such a hard time choosing a place to book when searching online. I chose this one because it looked clean and it was close to the beach. We were greeted by Aaron when checking in and felt like we made a new friend! He gave us helpful hints about the beach and golf carts. The guys working there work so hard out in the heat every day. They're keeping the grounds so clean and have flowers everywhere! And the pool! Wow! I do not swim in public pools, it just grosses me out. But I was in this pool every single day! The guys keep it so dang clean! And it's huge! We went to the beach a couple of times, but the whole family preferred spending time at the pool. The room was great, clean and cute! Only had to make a call for someone to come take our trash out or when we needed more towels. They make it as easy as possible for you! There are so many cute places to stay in Port Aransas, but this will be the one I recommend to everyone!

Wonderful stay at Executive Keys! Roomy 3 bedroom housed 3 adults and two kids. Every thing has been redone after Hurricane Harvey and is clean as a whistle. Kitchen had all the essentials and porch view was great.

Executive Keys is THE family place to stay in Port A, and everyone knows that. What you might not know is the wide open spaces on the property which are perfect for kids playing soccer, tag, flying a kite, etc. If you haven't visited since the hurricane, you will be amazed by the upgrades in your condo. The rec room is great for family reunion dinner, rainy day ping pong games, and of course laundry day!Pool is cool, management is beyond friendly. What more could you need?

This place was very nice well kept we enjoyed staying we will make it our vacation get away .
