Highly recommend 'Neptune Motel'. The 'brand new' rooms are great. Large, two king beds, big table, full size fridge, stove, sink, micro-wave, coffee maker, TV, etc.
All for about 50 bucks.
Very nice owners. It was not booked after we were supposed to checkout, so they gave us a late check out time which allowed us to fish in the morning, come back and shower and then head back to Houston.

The older rooms are cool too if all you want is a clean, quiet place to sleep. 2 double beds, small kitchen and bathroom for under $40. With gas prices the where they are now, its getting cheaper to just stay in AP than drive back and forth from the relatives in Corpus.

Check out Last Resort next to Palm Harbor.

Cedar Lodge in Aransas is okay also. The rooms are a little small but you get a TV, stove, refrig, clean sheets, etc. for less than forty/night. Ask for Earl.
