El Cerrito Place
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Perched on a small hill in Old Town Port Aransas, El Cerrito Place offers a legendary coastal experience steps away from the beach. This historical treasure is ideal for large families or groups seeking a serene getaway. The property is not just a piece of Texas history but also a modern-day showcase of local artists, featuring original pieces that depict various eras of Port Aransas and the nostalgic Texas Gulf Coast. The massive covered porch with ceiling fans is an excellent spot for enjoying the sea breeze and socializing with loved ones, and a rooftop deck is perfectly set up for sunbathers. The expansive backyard is another option for relaxing and soaking up the rays. Head to nearby Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center and marvel at the diverse bird species that call this coastal oasis home. Visit Roberts Point Park for a relaxing day by the water, or enlist Dolphin Dock Inc. for an unforgettable dolphin-watching tour.
When you return home from a day of the sand, rinse off in the convenient outdoor shower. Then, step inside and be greeted by original hardwood flooring that adds to the character of this legendary vacation home. This seaside homestead boasts two full kitchens, including the upgraded ground-floor chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a high-end range hood, and a breakfast bar. Additionally, there are two full-size washer/dryers for your convenience. Additional amenities include a Pack-N-Play, central air-conditioning, and WiFi.
