Historic Gibbs Cottage #5 – Little White Egret 🤍🐦
A sweet Old Town hideaway where coastal charm meets island ease 🌴

Welcome to Little White Egret, a lovingly restored historic cottage nestled along Allister Street in the heart of Old Town Port Aransas 🏝️. Just a short stroll to local restaurants, quaint shops, and Fisherman’s Wharf ⚓🛍️, this cozy retreat places you right where island life unfolds. And when the waves start calling, sun-soaked beaches are only a quick drive away 🌊☀️

Step inside and feel instantly at home in the bright, open-concept living space where the living, dining, and kitchen areas flow together effortlessly 🐚✨ Designed for comfort and convenience, it’s the perfect setting for slow mornings and relaxed evenings. The sofa easily converts into a sleeper, offering extra space for guests to join the coastal fun.

Outside, the deck invites you to soak up Port A sunshine and gentle sea breezes 🌬️☕—ideal for morning coffee, afternoon lounging, or unwinding as the sky softens into sunset 🌅

After a day of sandy toes and salty air, retreat to the cozy bedroom for a peaceful night’s sleep 😴—rested and ready for another island adventure.

Little White Egret is part of the beloved Gibbs Cottage collection, making it perfect for families or friends traveling together while still enjoying their own private hideaways 🏡💙
Nearby sister cottages include Gibbs Cottage #3 – Lost Flamingo 🦩 and Gibbs Cottage #8 – Little Blue Heron 🐦

Discover the laid-back rhythm of Old Town, where history, sunshine, and sea breezes meet 🌞🌊
