Luxury Canal Home w/ Private Pool & 3rd Story Deck - 10 Mins to Port Aransas!
What We Love About This Home
The "Better Than Port Aransas" Experience We love that this home offers a peaceful, upscale alternative to the heavy crowds of Port Aransas. While Port A is just a short 10-minute drive away for shopping and dining, you get to skip the ferry lines and traffic. Here, you enjoy more privacy, a private pool all to yourself, and a quiet island atmosphere for a better value.
The Ultimate 3rd-Story Sky Deck The panoramic views from our massive 3rd-story deck are breathtaking. We love spending evenings here at the wet bar, watching the sunset over the water or catching the game on the outdoor HDTV. It’s the perfect "eagle’s nest" for morning coffee with views towards the Gulf and the canal.
Fisherman’s & Boater’s Paradise Having two private boat slips right in the backyard is a game-changer. Bring your boat and enjoy the convenience of hopping on the boat for a day exploring Laguna Madre or simply fishing off the private dock for Snapper and Redfish. It’s a true waterfront lifestyle you won’t find at a standard beach house.
Private Pool & Walkable Location Most island rentals require a walk to a crowded community pool, but we love having a private pool right on the first floor. When you are ready for the salt and sand, Whitecap Beach is just minutes away. You get the best of both worlds: a secluded canal-front retreat and easy access to the pristine Padre Island National Seashore.

Thank you for sharing the key points of your experience! Based on your feedback, here is a concise and positive review that a traveler would find helpful:We had a great stay at the Corpus Christi homestay. The space was incredibly clean and well-maintained, which is always a top priority for me. The Wi-Fi connection was excellent and reliable throughout my visit, which was a huge plus. I also found the price to be very fair for what was offered. I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be looking to book this place again on my next trip.

Private pool!
This place was the perfect size for our family. It's a beautiful home with plenty of everything you need. Especially nice is having little extras that we can use like spices, fishing poles, kids boogie boards, towels and pool toys. Communication with the owners was excellent--they were very responsive to a question I had--and check in was super easy.

Best vacation we’ve had. Daughters swam while my son fished most of the time from the dock. Caught a lot of fish and crabs on property and surrounding locations. Excellent location in N. Padre. Very comfortable beds and home in all aspects. Great A/C to keep cool. Very responsive host. Will hopefully be back someday.

Super location and the unit is just as pictured. I liked that it was much quieter than other parts of the island during spring break and you can watch the birds in the morning over the water. There’s plenty of space to spread out for a family of 4. Great host with open communication to help with any questions.
