Location: Port Aransas, Gulf Coast, Texas, USA (180 mi. from San Antonio, 200 mi. from Austin, 30 mi.Corpus)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 2-4)
This is a great house for a couple's get-away or girls' weekend. It is quiet and peaceful and has lots of character. It's not a typical rental as owner lives here part-time so it feels like a real cozy place.
No plastic paintings screwed to the wall here! No neighbors unless it's a busy holiday weekend. Port Aransas is small enough to get around on a bike, has an awesome eatery/coffee bar/ wireless spot and great restaurants, mid$$ to high$$. The beach is natural, accessible by car and by foot and there is great fishing, by charter or by private captain. World-wide attraction spot for birding.
Get comfortable! Sit on the back porch and listen to nature or stroll to the end of the cul-de-sac to the dunes, over the boardwalk to the beach.
House is on stilts. Living area is upstairs. Breezy sitting area and parking underneath. Front door opens to the deck. Leave it open in the cool of the morning to welcome your day at the beach.
Great deck looks out over a field toward the dunes to the east, toward the Corpus Christi Ship Channel and back bay to the west.
Enjoy the 3rd level deck, accessed by a ladder from the 2nd level deck; good for early morning sunrise yoga or night-time star-gazing.
King bed, (firm futon wth tempuredic foam topper), in master bedroom. Firm, queen-size bed in 2nd bedroom. Bed and bath linens provided. Bring towels for the beach and pets.
Discount: Pay by Cash or Check, receive $10 off each night!! (Saves me the credit card fee!)
This island home may not be suitable for certain age children, (there are stairs and therapy pool used by owner on Watsu clients), but owner is negotiable. Pets are OK, only if they are considered part of the family, (not allowed on the furniture or wet in the house; yard is not fully fenced, child gate at stairs keeps them on the deck).
Owner will consider monthly rentals in Winter months...
Massages and Watsus available from Owner/Therapist, by appointment, 2 days notice. See website address below. The address is 603 Parkplace, at the corner of 11th St., one block from Beach Access Rd IA.
If you are interested to rent this and time is short, please call on the phone...Internet doesn't get checked when I'm busy with work. Also, I can recommend other properties if this one is taken.

So glad you enjoy it as much as I do! It's a great get-away...even as windy as it can be or under cloudy skies, being close to the beach in a comfy place deeply soothes the soul.
