This multi-level home can accommodate up to 12 guests and is located in the 11th St area of town. Appointed with polished hardwood floors and fresh furnishings, the 4BR/4.5BA layout ensures there's plenty of space for everyone. Two breezy balconies look out over the complex. Take a swim in the large pool, which is heated in the winter months, shoot down the winding water slide, and cook up appetizers and meals in the BBQ area. This resort truly has it all, and you're only 1 block from Port A's beautiful beach. The in-town location is close to restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. The open-concept second-floor main space is airy and inviting, with the southern sun streaming in through the windows. Island beach décor is carried throughout. Step out onto the balcony, just off of the living room, where you can take in the salty breeze with your morning coffee in hand. In the evenings, sink into the cozy L-shape couch, which converts to a sofa sleeper, with a good read or your favorite shows, which can be viewed on a 55” flat-screen TV. Whether preparing beach snacks or special dinners, you'll have fun in the immaculate kitchen equipped with new stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, both a Keurig and a drip coffee maker, dishes, basic pots, pans, and utensils. For family-style meals, the dining area seats six, and room for four at the breakfast bar. Shared amenities include a heated pool, a water slide, a BBQ area with a charcoal grill, and a picnic area. Step outside, splash around, and meet some of the other guests enjoying the newest complex in Port Aransas. Two of the bedrooms are located on the ground floor—one is a master suite (BR1) with a king bed, TV, and ensuite bathroom; the other is a bunk room (BR2) perfect for kids with a Twin over Full bunk bed, and TV and a Dozer chair that converts to a twin bed. Both have access to the back patio. The laundry room is also on the ground-level floor as is access to the garage. The second floor comprises the kitchen, living room, and dining area, half bath, plus another master suite (BR3) with a king bed, TV, ensuite bath with vanity and shower, and access to the front deck. (The living room offers access to the back deck.) A third-floor master suite (BR4) includes a king bed an ensuite bath with a stand-alone shower, and a private balcony. You're 1 block from the sand and surf and central to all things Port Aransas, including delicious seafood, pristine golf courses, fishing piers, and music venues. Learn about the area's boating history at the museum, 4 blocks away. Then, order cold drinks and listen to live music at different venues around town. All properties have on-site devices for your security – these may include security alarms, decibel monitoring (which do not record voices), and exterior motion sensors or cameras. The garage can hold one vehicle and there is room in the driveway for two more, a total of parking for three vehicles.

Beautiful townhome with 3 bedrooms having king beds and their own baths! Ideal for an adult trip! Great location and the pool was awesome! Super clean too! We were all impressed!
The property was nice, the pool was a huge hit with the kids. The property management was quick to respond regarding the a/c being out. Negatives: wifi did not work even after resetting, breakers kept tripping, couldn’t watch tv, no batteries in the remotes, towels were dingy, linens were scratchy
This condo was absolutely perfect for us! My husband and I, two sons and their families had such a wonderful time on the beach and swimming in the pool. The beach is within walking distance. The pool was warm and everyone loved the little slide. The separate master suites provided enough separation for each couple, it was well appointed and the decor was homey and beachy. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer get-away for the family! The only thing that could’ve been better – the dryer does not work and needs to be fixed.
Positives:
I want to start by saying the house was okay. The decor was very beach and put you in the beach mood. But, my list of negatives outweighs the positives.
Negatives: 1) There were roaches in the house (3). 2) The fridge water dispenser did not work so we had to drink tap water or buy bottled water. 3) The post claimed their was a crib (which is one of the reasons we picked the house) and there was no crib. 4) The house itself was barebones with the minimum items to provide comfort. If you want a blanket (that isn’t in the bed then you have to buy one). 5) 1.5 towels a person. If you’re doing a long trip then you better hang those towels up because you only get 1-2 per person for the entire trip. 6) The beach house managing company is horrible at responding in the app or in general. I wasn’t sent information on how to get into the house until I called them when I got to the house (3:45pm ). They were supposed to send it as early as 9 am. 7) They have 4 remotes 3 either don’t have batteries or don’t work.
Loved having all of our kids and grands with us. Everyone enjoyed their king beds and en suite in each room. We expected to have a crib (as advertised) for one of our two year olds but had to purchase a pack n play for her to sleep in. That was the only we had the entire weekend.
Plenty of room for our group (5 adults, 2 kids). Clean, comfy and well equipped. Pool was clean and big w/ fun water slide. Parking was good too. They also have a spot for guest parking. 10 out of 10.
Our stay here was amazing. The property is in great location, very clean and just a block from the beach and just a minutes ride from lots of restaurants. We will definitely be back!
The reservation, check in, access to the house and check out where all very nice. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms. I would recommend a few items: better internet we would reset it and still had issues even with our IT experts being there, laundry room light needed a light bulb, kitchen needed more than two hand towels. Patios needed some furniture to enjoy your morning coffee. The mini yard looked like a forest so the kids could not enjoy. The pool on the other hand was lots and lots of fun. — minus the adult children jumping off of the rocks into the 4 foot pool where little kids were playing.
It was a great location to the beach and we would stay in the same area again!
