The Sandpiper Condominiums is a great place to be during the summer. The sun is hot and the sand is too!

We have some great things to offer here at the Sandpiper during the summer as far as amenities go for the whole family. For the kids we have an awesome shuffle-board set up as well as a ping pong table too. The tennis courts are perfect for getting some exercise in as well as the basketball courts. It gets hot during the day but the mornings and evenings are perfect for this. We have also recently added a table shuffle board in the lobby for “cool” entertainment as well!

From Memorial Day to Labor Day weekend we have our beach crew on duty! This means that canopies will be set up and sold in the mornings for $10.00. This canopy is good for all day but must be rented and paid for each day of your stay. We have stocked up on these so don’t worry about not having one! Along with the canopies, we set up chairs for you also and with those chairs come some cool drinks too!

We enjoy the Spring season in Port Aransas just as much as any season at the Sandpiper. There are plenty of things to do during this time of year as well as great weather! It’s important to know a few things about booking a Spring Vacation here on Mustang Island, either as a heads up or just good information to know about the Spring time at the beach.

The weather has been so gorgeous lately! Lots of blue skies and sunshine in the recent weeks and we hope this trend continues into Spring. Spring usually has a few more cold and rainy days so it’s always important to check the weather before your trip! The days are typically warm and sunny with cooler evenings and mornings so be sure to pack a light jacket as well as a pair of comfortable shoes. We always feel that it’s better to be comfortable rather than not so this suggestion will give you a safe heads up to be sure you’re prepared for our weather! A pair of pants is always a great idea as well.

With all the sunshine going on remember to bring sunscreen! Even though it is cooler outside and not necessarily in the summer temps, the sun can still burn you on a cool day and that’s never fun. Along with sunscreen you will want to pack some hats to help block the sun and of course get your shades on! We look forward to the warming temps of the Spring and hope that you are prepared for them also.

A common misconception about Spring Break vacations in Port A would be all of the Spring Break crowd! During the month of March tons of Spring Breakers are headed to the beach to enjoy sunshine but thankfully most of them stay in town; which clears the way to a more family oriented vacation at the Sandpiper. We don’t rent our beach condos to anyone under the age of 25 and anyone under this age must be accompanied by an adult.  So the chances of any obnoxious spring breakers is close to none with us here at the Sandpiper. With that being said we want you to feel comfortable bringing your kids to a safe beach resort with out any of the crowds that the town will attract. It’s always important to be safe and while driving on HWY 361 we highly encourage you to be very aware of the traffic and to never drink & drive.

An upcoming event for the Spring in Port A is Texas Sandfest! This is a HUGE event Port Aransas hosts and the largest one at that! The festival is located in town, on the beach and the advantage to staying at the Sandpiper is you avoid the crowds. You will have to call and see what the availability is for the Sandfest Dates as they are booking up very, very quickly.

Look online for your available dates for a memorable Sandpiper Spring vacation and enjoy some sunshine with us this season!

January is full of different decisions Continued. Everyone wants to make a productive resolution that will full fill them for the rest of the year. The unique thing to which these resolutions come about is that they are all individually pleasing.

What some people fail to realize is that you have to actually make time to do these things.Things such as keeping a clean house, making time for YOU, exercising, whatever it is that makes you, you! Recognize that these actions full fill you and you personally, and that is what helps improve your well being.

It seems as simple as waking up earlier, making time for an energetic 10 minute work out, etc. But in reality, it takes effort to not press snooze!  When you’re planning things and lacking an outcome, realize it’s your motivation that will actually make the time to give yourself deserved YOU time. It’s kind of like a physical therapy exercise that you know will make you feel so much better in the long run, but meanwhile as you’re doing this exercise you are thinking of the millions of things that need to be done, ultimately feeling as if you don’t have time for this! Just remember that you do. You always have time for anything, but it needs to be a strong desire that helps with the follow through. When you really want to be relaxed, you are more likely to go on a short vacation or go get a massage, anything to please that annoying sensor going off. Sometimes our motivation to do things requiring a little hard work and taking time for you out of a busy schedule is often deterred so it’s important to remember it’s good for us in the long run.

Whatever your 2017 Resolution be, we hope that you stay motivated this year in following through with your grand ideas and plans. We also know that you deserve time for yourself too. Here at the Sandpiper we will go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable, satisfied and relaxed. Some people think vacations are a waste of money but money can’t buy the happiness you get when you enjoy a serene beach experience.
