We love this place

This is our go to property for a relaxing get away in Port Aransas. This place is perfect for two or three people that like to split their time between the beach and private time next to the pool. It's clean and has everything you need to cook and watch movies after a full day hanging at the beach and swimming away the afternoon.

Spotless with great pool

A great option for couples looking for a spot close to the beach. The house was spotless and had everything that we needed to be comfortable. I was dog-sitting for my daughter, so we were happy that it was pet-friendly. There is a great little fenced in area two doors down from the cottage for your fur babies to stretch their legs. I missed the 2nd payment and was grateful that they tried so hard to remind me and did not cancel my reservation. Great spot!

Quaint cottage by the beach

Very nice vacation spot for a couple. Short walk to the beach. Port A beaches aren’t the best but this rental also had a small pool which is nice for after dinner relaxation. The downside is that the pool area is completely visible to the rental property next door and above us. We visited off season so it wasn’t an issue.

Cottage in the Dunes

Great little place; just right for two people and a small dog. Anne is a wonderful hostess! The cottage has soooo many amenities I didn't expect. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, and everything you need to prepare meals. The pool was clean, the lounge chairs are comfortable, and there were even pool toys! My only quibble is that there is no place on the property for your pet to relieve themself. They do have another property up the street with a fenced lawn that is very nice, but I wish I had known this in advance. And yes, you can walk to the beach but it is quite a hike. However, it only takes two minutes by car and a parking permit is just $12 for the entire year so that was fine. If you are looking for something cozy and cute you will love this place.
