Ready to relax with beautiful, unobstructed views of the rock jetties and sounds of the Gulf breezes? If so, this two-bedroom home is the place for you! Part of a split-level duplex in Port Aransas that combines two separate properties, this vacation rental boasts a wraparound deck and access to a pool that is shared between the two units.

Unwind on the shores of IB Magee Beach Park or cast a line and fish off Horace Caldwell - both just steps from your door. With an in-town location, you’re in the perfect spot to explore downtown boutiques, local restaurants, pristine golf courses, and sprawling nature preserves.

The unit has its own spacious living/dining/kitchen areas and offers combined sleeping space for up to 8.

LIVING AREAS

In the large living room, you’ll find cool tiled floors and ample space to relax. Stretch out on a comfy sectional or a full-size futon and watch a movie on the flat-screen TV.

KITCHEN & DINING

Channel your inner chef in the open, contemporary kitchen, outfitted with a full range of appliances. Sip morning coffee at the casual breakfast bar.

When it’s time to eat, gather at the beachy dining table that seats eight.

BEDROOMS & BATHS

Sleep soundly on a king bed in the light-filled master bedroom. Catch a movie before bed on the flat-screen TV. An en-suite bathroom is configured with a tub/shower combination.

The guest bedroom comes with a queen bed, twin-over-full bunk bed, and a flat-screen TV. Enjoy access to a balcony that overlooks the town in each of the bedrooms.

A guest bathroom is outfitted with a large vanity area and a walk-in shower.

OUTDOOR AREAS

Take a dip in the private pool shared between the duplex’s two units. Surrounded by palm trees, the fenced yard provides guests with a private outdoor retreat. Beneath the home, you’ll find a shady spot to unwind around covered picnic tables. Whip up dinner on the shared propane grill.

Kick back on the large wraparound deck, furnished with outdoor seating, and take in views of the glittering Gulf of Mexico.

EXTRA AMENITIES & MORE DETAILS

Guest amenities include complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and a private washer/dryer. Both home share a laundry room on the ground floor.

THE LOCATION

Walk to the beach or Horace Caldwell fishing pier, both just a block from your door. Start the morning by fishing or relaxing beside the rolling waves of the Gulf of Mexico. Your rental is also just minutes away from the rock jetties and the University of Texas, Marine Science Institute.

Feeling active? Hit the fairways at Palmilla Beach Golf Club, or enjoy hiking and birdwatching in Port Aransas Nature Preserve -- both within a 10-minute drive.

The boutiques of downtown are just a 10-minute walk, and you’re also a 2-minute drive from a host of great local eateries.

Great property, horrible property management

First, I would buy this property bc I love the location so much. Just be aware that Vacasa is property management company and you will not be dealing with a local or even same cust serv rep. so property questions or concerns can’t really be addressed or are answered same day.

Mini Vacay

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's Beach House A, which is the 3rd floor, only 2 flights of stairs and not too bad. Aside from The Dunes condo/hotel in front of the beach house, you have great views just to the side of it. We rented a buggie/golf cart to go to and from the beach, it is a walkable distance though. We'd definitely stay here again.

Peaceful and an awesome view

The home was very nice, clean and the bed was comfortable. Walking to the beach took 2 minutes and the view from the porch was a beautiful picture of God’s creation. It was cold and rainy, but beautiful all the same. We didn't need it, but appreciated all the extras in the pantry (spices and such left over, kitchen gadgets and so on). Would definitely recommend. Even with a large family, the place is spacious enough to spread out so you're not on top of each other.

GREAT!!!

Our overall experience was phenomenal! The location was clean! Even considering being a beach location...IT WAS SUPER CLEAN!! ...no sand...no smell...AWESOME!! The communication with the property manager (Turnkey) was superb! We communicated via text 99% of the time. Each of my texts was responded to within minutes and their responses not only addressed my concerns but they were friendly and kind. Staying at this location and interacting with Turnkey will exceed anyone's expectations!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this location and property manager!!!

Wonderful remote working spot!

We wanted a quiet place by the beach to work remotely for a few days and this exceeded our expectations. The walk to the beach is short but we still had the privacy of a fenced in yard with a pool and wrap around porch. We would love to come back with family and rent the entire house.
