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!

I really liked staying here a lot. We had a family of five with 3 adult children and had plenty of room and were very comfortable. It's a great spacious home to spend a week in Port A. The only reason I gave a rating of good instead of excellent is because of a miscommunication with the host. Other than that it's a wonderful, comfortable home.

It is hard to clean that size house with back to back renters. So I understand why some things were missed and check in was a little delayed. But the Host took care of things for us. We really appreciated how quickly things were addressed.

Thoughtfully designed and well appointed for large groups. The kitchen was equipped with all the essentials for hosting large meals for 16, the elevator was so handy, the garage offered hours of climate controlled entertainment and a nice break from the sun and rain. Lastly, the golf cart, beach chairs, and location made it so easy to get to and from the beach!!Mike was great to communicate with - proactive, responsive when needed for very minor questions and very kind.

First of all, Communication with Mike was outstanding! We had a last minute dog addition and was not an issue. The a/c garage is unique. We had a lot of fishing gear to put up each day and was very convenient. The grandsons enjoyed the games in the garage. A very unique thing in the house is a commercial grade ice maker in the garage and a great one in the kitchen. The coupla was relaxing. Elevator was nice, just wish it went to garage level. The driveway holds a lot of vehicles but is steep if you have a trailer hitch attachment. Our group of 6 adults and 4 boys (11-5yo) were able to spread out well. We have stayed in about 4 different other houses over the years and this is the one the family wants to come back to next year.

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 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.

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.
