VRBO Bear stayed here - 10/20/2008 If you’re looking for a beach vacation for the entire family including the dog, look no further. Port Aransas is an economical Gulf Coast beach town ideal for a weekend escape from the daily grind. The small town has a big atmosphere with plenty to do. Enjoy the large beaches and calm waters which are ideal for families. Go fishing on a private charter. Shop or dine in one of the eclectic shops and restaurants.
Pack light when you load the car for your trip to this home. This vacation rental home has all the beach gear you need. It is well equipped with a cooler, wagon, beach chairs and beach toys. Man’s best friend is welcome at the rental, so use the extra space in your car to bring your dog. He can accompany you at the beach, relax in the shaded, fenced back yard or admire the wall art of stuffed animals that fell prey to a prior guest.
The hosts are charming and accommodating. They quickly respond to emails and phone calls. They will even arrange for reservations at their favorite restaurant where everyone knows their names and the food is excellent. The owners ensure you have everything you will need during your stay. To help your children remember their stay, they allow them to pick a departing gift from the toy chest.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
We have been Big fans of the island ever since we brought our first baby here 20 years ago (oh my, how time flies!).
We have remodeled and updated everything since purchasing our house is 2007. We enjoy sharing our "Island Getaway" with our renters and especially enjoy the families that return to make our home their family's vacation spot. We welcome You and Yours to enjoy the best of the Texas Riviera from our Island Getaway!
Why the Owner Chose Port Aransas
After spending a span of time in Port Aransas during an internship, we decided that this was the town to begin looking for our "getaway" place. As luck would have it, the right place and the right timing coincided and we found the ideal spot for a relaxing quick-getaway or a longer stay. Our place was first and foremost built for a family to live in, not just stay for a few days, and you can feel that from the moment you enter the gate (just like we did). This house gives off a warm inviting feel that just seems to melt the cares away. We have definitely found the most relaxing spot in one of the friendliest towns on the Texas Riviera!
The Unique Benefits of this House
We enjoy the sunrises from the jetty, biking all over the town, walking to dinner at some of the finest restaurants, and spending alot of time outdoors enjoying the coastal breezes. We also watch the birds throughout the various migratory patterns, and "turtle watch" from the rocks along the jetty. We regularly visit the library, and attend many of the community functions (art fairs, community theater, beach walks, sand castle demos...) And we've yet to check off all of the things on the "fun-to-do" list!
