Great place to stay. Can’t beat the location! Very clean and Pet friendly options available which is excellent. Have the doggy bags available for use and a great deal of green space — however when we stayed, the green spaces were full of razor sharp stickers making most of the green space not usable, due to the sharp stickers getting painfully stuck in my dogs paws, fur and even my feet.

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?

BEWARE BEFORE BOOKING THIS PLACE, THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR VERY OWN BOOKING POLICY. APPARENTLY IT CAN CHANGE AT ANYTIME AND YOUR BOOKING WILL NOT BE HONORED!! THIS SHOULD REALLY BE A NO STAR!! We booked a place on April 28th for our stay over the July 4th weekend. At the time of booking we had pet friendly in our search engine. This place allowed pets at the time. Apparently, they change their policy for the summer months (Memorial day through Labor day) but this information is not anywhere in the booking policy. Again at the time of booking they allowed pets and we booked the condo knowing

We found Executive Keys back in 2009. We have been having our family reunions since 2010( other than visit from hurricane HARVEY)
We enjoy LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. The staff is genuinely friendly. Accommodations for all family sizes. Walking distance to beach, roaring sounds of the ocean at night. Highly recommend. Repeat guest ♥️

Great place to stay literally right next to the beach !!! Affordable , nice rooms with great staff willing to meet your every need . There is also nice pool and big pool house too . Anne is the gm and very easy to talk to . The weather is fair year round and the sounds of the waves are relaxing . You can camp on this beach over night indefinitely for free if you have a tent or trailer . People usually rent golf carts for the day time and surf boards to go surfing !!! Lots of pretty seashells and a great local brewery named Lorelei

I have been going here for years. Aaron the manager for the last 7 years is great and very accommodating. Most of the two bedrooms an up units have a great view and are nice. Stay away from the efficiencies. It is worth the extra $100 to have a better unit, views, and a lot more space. A little over 1100sq ft for a two bedroom condo vs 400sq ft for the efficiency.

Executive keys FOR SURE!! Its chill, and has an old school salty vibe, LOTS of lush grass and a Rainbow playground and great pool and laundry/gameroom area. Staff is really friendly and the managers are really into gardening, so there are little patches around every corner with succulents, coastal and tropical plants, etc. A private boardwalk dumps you right over a large, clean sand dune (the kids love it) with a steep slope that will roll you right into the beach.

This is a great, comfortable place with awesome staff. They go out of their way to fix any issues and are extremely accommodating. There is an easy walk to the beach with a connecting bridge from the property to the sand. The pool is large, clean and there's a game room and a volley ball net right next to the pool. Zero complaints, would stay here again for sure.

I've stayed at Executive Keys many times although it had been years since my last visit. The location is great, there is beach access and the condos are 5 minutes from Port A. In the past my wife, sons, and I stayed in the 2 bedroom condos, on this trip, as empty nesters, we stayed in an efficiency with our dog. The room was about the same size or larger than many hotel rooms but had a full kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator. The air conditioner worked great, the hot water was from a tankless heater, and the room was clean. Downside was that the full-size bed was a little small for my

We visited this hotel at the beginning of August. We were looking last minute for a hotel, and they just had a cancellation. Even though it had decent ratings, we expected the worst due to the last minute situation. Boy were we wrong! They made the booking with two different families super easy. With two families staying here, it was the perfect size! Close to the beach, clean, and the staff was super friendly! Front desk clerk was from our area, and was good at the small talk! They had almost everything you could need to cook in the kitchen, and the outside showers were nice to use to get the

I'm not giving Executive Keys 4 Stars because it's a luxury beach front resort; it's not. The rooms are simple and decked out in pastel 80's decor, but the kitchens are stocked, the bathrooms are clean, and the water in the showers is hot! What else do you really need when you're spending your time at the beach and pool (which is pristine) anyway? What earns Executive Keys 4 Stars is that it has the nicest staff I have ever encountered at any motel, hotel, or resort anywhere. Seriously, they are the friendliest and most accommodating people who will go out of their way

Second timers staying at this place. Staff was friendly and allowed early check-in (room was ready by 1p). The hotel itself is nothing fancy what so ever. Decor could use some updating as well as the furniture. The room was set up like a studio apartment equipped with a kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave and a futon (perfect if you have more than 2 guests). The beach is only within a short walking distance. Overall, I feel the room rate was a bit much but, for being it is Memorial weekend and accessible to the beach, it's expected.

Great place for family trips to Port A. Clean, roomy, extremely well-maintained buildings and grounds despite being built in the 70s. Friendly, responsive staff. Large open grassy areas with no burrs perfect for kids. Small playground. Pristine pool. WiFi. Each room has a patio. Quick boardwalk through dunes to beach. Rec room. Laundry. Daily trash/towels. 5 minutes to town. Comparable rates to other properties but probably better facilities. Definitely coming back and have already recommended to friends.

Me and my boyfriend have stayed here twice so far, both times in one of their efficiency units. We were overall happy with this place! As others have said, it's a no-frills kind of place, but hey, we're there for the beach, not the hotel. It's super close to the beach with direct access, cheaper than any other place that we've found, and we LOVED the fact that it had a full kitchen (a BIG money saver!) As mentioned by someone else, bring your own groceries, the prices at the only (tiny) grocery store in town are ridiculous and have a very limited selection.

I give it 5 stars for the price and what you get for that price. We stayed in unit 114 for two nights. The place was an efficiency for $89 a night. It was the only efficiency that had a tiny view of the water. (The other units that face the water are 2 bedroom/2 bathroom condos for $159 a night.)
It was clean and nicely decorated in a nautical theme. The bed was comfortable and had a good mattress on it and soft comfy sheets and a cotton quilt. There was also a large futon that would sleep two.
There are windows all along the side facing the gulf and also a window in the back of the unit, so that

This would be the fourth time my wife and I have stayed here at Executive Keys with our two dogs. I have only good things to say about this establishment.
It is right on the beach, with its own private beach access. The condo we stay in is always the efficiency. It really is big enough for everything we need. Then again, with the ocean in your backyard, how much do you really need?
With a small kitchen, basic supplies included (cutlery, pots, pans, plates, cups) microwave and an oven and a fridge, you really only need clothes, cooler, and some other things and your good to go!

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

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
