About this property

The Blue Marlini- Ocean view! Private Heated Pool! Mini Golf! Cart! Garage A/C!

We built this home with the intent to sleep 3 families, so we put a master bedroom on each of the 3 floors. We wanted a view of the ocean and so we built a crows nest which has the BEST 360 degree view of Port Aransas and the ocean! We put in all of our favorite amenities like the huge heated pool, a ping pong table, a garage that will fit a boat, wet bars with fridges on every floor, a gourmet kitchen, memory foam mattress on every bed, rain shower heads, ice maker, and the most amazing sunset deck. It was important for us to still be in town so you can get to the grocery store, restaurants, bars, shopping, and the beach by golf cart within a 5 minute cruise. The house is situated in a quiet cul-de sac. There is enough parking for up to 7 vehicles. From the top deck you can see the ships coming in and out of the ship channel, the ocean, the bay. and all the way to Corpus Christi. A climate controlled garage finishout was completed in 2025 to enhance guest comfort while enjoying ping pong, corn hole, arcade games and even indoor basketball!

We loved staying at Blue Marlini in Port A! Mike was a great host and very welcoming and responsive. We had no issues during our stay. Everything in the home was so thoughtful child locks on the doors, pack n play, high chair, golf carts, games & extras in the garage. We absolutely love the heated pool for December stay. Our family is already planning to stay here again.

Our trip to Port A was enhanced by our stay at The Blue Marlini. Location is great and the Crows Nest has an amazing view of the shoreline. The home can accommodate a large number of people. We only had 6 so everyone had their own bedroom and only one bathroom was shared. We had use of 2 6-seater golf carts which was perfect. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies and spices.

Nice size bedrooms, plenty of space for everyone. The elevator was wonderful, as we have 1 individual with Parkinson's which makes stairs difficult. It helped with getting luggage to the upper floors as well. The pool was fabulous! It was nice to have the golf cart to get around to the shops and area attractions. Overall we all had fun and enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for staying with us! Your private note mentioned that the number of towels was inadequate however you never mentioned this during your stay? We carry extra towels on the property at all times for this reason but we cant fix what we dont hear about. God bless

Amazing House!

Such a great house, worked for our family from 2 years old to 78 years old! The property management team was so responsive and helpful when we got delayed on our way down there. Golf cart was a plus, game room was great and elevator to help our elderly family member. We’ll definitely be back next year!

Beautiful Beach House with Room to Relax and Entertain

We had a great stay at this beach house! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the large kitchen made it easy to cook and hang out together. The pool was definitely a highlight—everyone loved it. One of our favorite moments was watching the spectacular sunset from the crow's nest deck—absolutely breathtaking. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway with a group!

Property was as advertised. The house was in good condition and everything you needed was there. Fantastic view from the upper deck. The elevator was a big plus for us. We had a couple of issues at first, but the owner was very quick to remedy the problems. We had up to 14 people there and there was plenty of room for everyone. The number of beds was another big plus. The pool was a little larger than some others around there and that was a bonus. The large garage with ping pong table and air conditioning was also very helpful. The location allowed us to go into town and go to the beach easily by golf cart. It's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Dayon

Host profile image
As a Texas family with five kids, we know how important it is to have a space that’s both fun and relaxing for all ages. That’s why we’ve designed our homes with families in mind—from cozy corners to splash-worthy fun. Whether we’re soaking up the sun in Port Aransas or strolling the charming downtown square in Georgetown, travel is our passion! Your family will love our year-round heated pool! It’s all about new memories and relaxing in comfort!

Why they chose this property

Ocean Views, Family Comfort & the True Port A Vibe
We designed this home with two things in mind: breathtaking views and bringing people together. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or winding down after a day at the beach, you'll always have a view of the ocean — anytime of day.

This spacious home is perfect for multiple families or groups traveling together. There's plenty of room to relax, a private pool for the kids to splash around in, and cozy spots to kick back and take in the coastal breeze.

Conveniently located less than 5 minutes from the beach, grocery store, restaurants, bars, and shopping — and with a golf cart, getting around is a breeze. No long drives from the outskirts of town here; you’ll be right in the heart of Port A, soaking in the laid-back, local vibe.

Bonus: We offer ample parking, which is a rare find in our little beach town!

What makes this property unique

Bird’s Eye Bliss from the Crow’s Nest
Our favorite spot? The crow’s nest — hands down. From up there, you’ll catch stunning sunrises over the Gulf and unforgettable sunsets over the bay. It’s the perfect place to sip your morning coffee, enjoy an evening drink, or just take in the laid-back magic of Port A.

This home truly has it all: a prime location, coastal views, space for everyone to spread out, and little extras that make a beach trip feel like a real getaway.
