Our beautiful oceanfront Mustang Island vacation condo features a spectacular unobstructed view of the Texas Riviera. The uncrowded, silky sandy beach is only footsteps from your door. You are just a leisurely stroll over the boardwalk to sand between your toes!
A magnificent sunrise greets you every morning as you start your day with a cup of steaming hot coffee on your private tiled patio. Marvel at the pelicans and the seagulls as they soar past your vantage point with wall-to-wall windows on the NINTH floor. Miles of undeveloped beach and dunes beckon you, and there is no crowd to spoil the experience. And when night falls, the sound of the ocean surf will lull you to complete relaxation.
The Sea Gull enjoys a quiet and relaxed environment. Because many of the units are owner-occupied, you encounter fewer people on the beach and at the pool and other common areas. The walls and floors are thick and well insulated, so your neighbors won’t disturb you. It’s a leisure and family resort, far from the madding crowds of South Padre. Yet, if you seek a livelier environment, you are only a short distance away from the friendly fishing town of Port Aransas or the thriving city of Corpus Christi.
The inviting swimming pool is just steps from your door, yet you are not subjected to "pool noise." You can enjoy the hot tub (with waterfall feature), the tennis and basketball court, the fitness equipment, and the game room with pool table and arcade games. During the summer months, the kids can enjoy the FREE Children’s Summer Art Program. And if you fish, you have just discovered a treasure! We are "fisher-friendly", with a fish-cleaning station, grilling area, free boat parking, and easy access to the water--"Wilson's Cut" is just across the road, granting you access to the Bay and the Gulf.
Our top-rated, two-bedroom condo is a great getaway for couples, families, or old friends. When it’s time to cocoon after a long day of fun in the sun, turn on the surround sound and relax in the serenely decorated living area. Or make dinner in the fully-equipped kitchen before sitting down to a friendly get-together with one of the board games you’ll find waiting in the hallway closet. We also have plenty of FREE movies (VHS format) in our collection, or you can rent movies in the lobby.
Our condo features ceramic tile throughout, except for the carpeted bedrooms. The two bedrooms, each decorated with an Asian flair, offer TVs and comfortable new pillow-top mattresses. Get a good night’s sleep, and wake up tomorrow to enjoy another day in Paradise!
If you fish, it doesn't get any better than this. If you golf, you're only five minutes away from an Arnold Palmer Signature golf course--truly a "links" course. If you like fine dining, you'll find it in both Port Aransas and Corpus Christi. All kind of water and wind sports await your discovery--or just enjoy the uncrowded beach right outside your door.
Come for a weekend or come for the winter, and you’ll find that Sea Gull 906 will welcome you. Kick back, set your internal clock to Island Time, and understand what we mean when we say, "If you’re lucky enough to be on The Island, you’re lucky enough."
We’d love for you to enjoy our home away from home. If it’s time for a great beach getaway, call the Toll Free number and tell the friendly folks at the desk that you want to "get your kicks in Sea Gull 906"!
YOU MUST MENTION THIS IS A VRBO RENTAL AND ASK FOR UNIT 906 TO BE GUARANTEED OUR CONDO. For lots more information and photos about our individual condo, the Sea Gull complex, and Mustang Island, please visit our homegrown web site, listed below.

Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Port Aransas
Although we live in the mountains of Colorado, we wanted the best of both worlds--mountains and ocean. We first discovered and fell in love with Port Aransas in late 2004, and by mid-2006, we had invested in our own little piece of this undiscovered gem called Mustang Island. We are working towards that dream of both worlds--Colorado in the summer and Mustang Island for the winter. Meanwhile, please enjoy our home away from home! Bob & Carolyn, Weston, CO

From guest email to owner: Reservations are made and we are so excited. Yes, we are picky and your condo and the gorgeous view were more than we could have imagined. We've spent the last 48 hours trying to find you and so glad we did. We will take really good care of your new carpet and look forward to the new photos. One of my friends is a realtor but she is also an interior designer/stager and she absolutely loves your decorating.
