If you like this home but it is already booked for the dates you need or if you need more room please check out our other property, the Costa Ventures Beach House, VRBO # 223942.

Map & Owner's Profile
Somewhere in the Sun - Oceanview 3 Story Home in Sandpoint !!!
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Port Aransas
We chose Port Aransas because it is easily accesible by car or plane from Austin, Houston, San Antonio, or Dallas. We feel that Port Aransas is the ideal getaway as it has a casual "beach town" feel with great dining, a nice beach, great fishing, and high end shopping while maintaining a small town feel. Port Aransas has many unique local restaraunts and bars and there is not an abundance of high rise hotels and condos lining the beach.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our home is about 300 yards from the beach. There are ocean views from the covered second level deck across the front of the home and panoramic ocean and channel views from the third level deck outside the master bedroom and the spacious rooftop deck. The rooftop deck faces the Gulf of Mexico and is a great place to gather in the afternoon and evening to enjoy the ocean breeze and views. The home is decorated in a "Coastal Living" style with (faux) wood floors throughout, beadboard doors and trim, open cabinets in the bathrooms and kitchen, unique restored dressers and nightstands in the bedrooms, and decorations and artwork from local artist.
Owner's Map of Port Aransas
My wife is from the Corpus Christi area and I am originally from the Austin area. We both grew up spending our summer vacations on Mustang Island enjoying the beach. After we married in Dallas we lived in Seattle and Scottsdale before returning to Texas to raise our children. One of the reasons we moved to Austin from Dallas was to be closer to the coast. We spent several summer vacations when our children were young traveling to different beaches including California, Florida, Alabama, the Carribean, and Costa Rica while always going to Port Aransas several times a year. While deciding where to vacation 4 years ago both of our children asked why we were going anywhere except Port Aransas since it was our favorite beach vacation destination and had everything we enjoy as a family. From that moment our goal was to have a beach house in Port Aransas. We built our home 2 years ago and have been enjoying our frequent stays there while renting our home to others who love Port Aransas, fishing, and the beach.
