Fabulous Island Getaway! Family Friendly, Pet Friendly Too!
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Other Port Aransas Properties
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 at 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!
Come out here in the morning to see the sun rise and set. Come and see the Dolphins and Turtles.

I have stayed in LOTS of these sort of vacation rentals. This one is one of the best. Tons of room. Really cute. Clean. Cleverly decorated. That outside yard with the trees and plants really makes you feel like you're in your own little hideaway. Every amenity listed is right on target. Really great rental. Great experience. Will visit again.

The house was spacious, with plenty of walking room. No anorexic hallways or rickety staircases. Very refreshing. The location was perfect. The beach was not far and town was less then a hop, skip and a jump. Though it is close to shops, the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Every appliance and non-food necessity was easy to find and clear directions were located all over to make my stay convenient stress free.

This place is PERFECT! 5 girlfriends and I went down for a little weekend R&R and got just that. You walk in to this bright cheery home and instantly feel like you are on vacation. The house has a great floor plan and is up to date with appliances, and modern amenities. Bedrooms are in the back and living spaces are in the front of the house which is nice if one group wants to chit chat and others want to relax. The kitchen is set up nicely and is very well equipped....definitely conducive for multiple "chefs". The patio is where we spent most of our time at the picnic table or on the swing reading magazines and setting out our next plan. In addition the location is perfect. It is within walking distance from a grocery store, electric car rental (which we did so we wouldn't get our car dirty at the beach) and souvenirs. The beach, retail stores, and restaurants are located less than a mile so also within walking distance. I highly recommend Beach and Station Street Grill for a good lunch and Venetian Hot Plate for a dinner. Both were EXCELLENT!!! This is a great property and my friends and I were planning our next trip back as we were packing up the car on Sunday!

Magical cottage at the beach

Review Submitted: 12/05/10
We loved our weekend in this magical little cottage. I say magical because there were dozens of hummingbirds in the backyard! The yard has a privacy fence and is beautifully landscaped with a patio and running fountain. Inside there's lots of natural light from skylights. The place is a short walk to anywhere you want to go and has a garage for your car. The owner is friendly and responsive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the place to friends and family. Wonderful! The listing was accurate,

This is just a perfectly situated rental in Port Aransas. It's close to the beach as well as restaurants and shops. The house itself is just perfect...3 bedrooms and 2 baths, large kitchen, screened-in porch, and large backyard with hammock and barbeque. It's tastefully decorated, and the owner has the house stocked with things you might need for your trip (boogie boards, hats, as well as first aid kit materials). My family thoroughly enjoyed the stay...very relaxing! For the high tech folks, this place is for you. It has a flat screen TV, DVD, IPOD speakers, and wifi modem. Very highly recommended!

This very charming beach cottage was exactly the retreat my family hoped for. We have two small children and found the house to be very accommodating and extremely clean. We also brought the dogs - they loved the big yard and short hop to the beach! The decor is beachy chic and all the fixtures, finishes and appliances are upscale. The location is great for walking to both the beach and to the various shops/restaurants around town. The yard is fantastic and after looking around we discovered what a rare thing a yard like this is to find in the area. You just have everything you need to be right at home here and I cannot say enough good things about this property.

We had a wonderful time in Port Aransas and enjoyed staying in your charming home. It was great to be so near the beach and yet have a secluded and quiet place at the end of the day. Your yard is so inviting and the dogs especially loved it. Kathy Bellamy

This was our 1st visit to "Port A," and we "landed" here because Hurricane Ike demolished the rental we reserved in Galveston. And it couldn't have been a better change. "Port A" is a quaint port town, full of personality. It's very unpretentious & laid-back. (It's definitely NOT the place to go if you're looking for hustle/bustle & expensive condos.) Paula's house was well-stocked. The yard was wonderful for my two dogs. The house is strategically located equidistant from beach and center of town. There's a grocery & liquor store less than .25 mi. away. The yard was enjoyable except for mosquitoes as large as sparrows (definitely not Paula's fault!)--and she provided ample repellant & sun screen. Only complaints: coffee pot only makes 4 cups (a little too small for us!) & oven & microwave are pretty old (didn't heat quickly or to proper temperatures, but the kitchen has a thermometer for the oven). The candles were a nice touch, and the large screen TV in the front room was great. We saw hermit crabs on the beach, dolphins and tons of birds. We had a great burger for lunch at Trout St. & wonderful fish at Fins for dinner.
Owner response:since this entry the old stove has been replaced with a new frigidaire stainless steel convection oven! there is a larger coffee pot hiding in the pantry- i guess i should let y'all know. complete remodel as of 4/09.
