About this property

1/1 Cottage in the Dunes! PRIVATE POOL! Dog Friendly! Walk to Beach!

Once upon a time on a natural sand dune in Port Aransas sprung up the most unusual property in this Beach Community, The Dome and Cottage in the Dunes. This quaint, quiet and supremely comfortable beachy cottage shares the pristine pool with the property owner at the Dome house. The owner doesn't use the pool when there are guests at the Cottage so it's yours alone. The Cottage in the Dunes has its own deck overlooking the pool and is elevated from the street by about 20 steps. The landscaping which is both tropical and inviting and will welcome you to this getaway for your weekend, honeymoon, or small family vacation. Be sure and inquire if your group needs to add additional sleeping at our nearby properties.

VRBO does not currently collect city hotel tax for us. We will ask for that and any pet fees prior to check in. We will then make sure you have directions and easy check in procedure.

We had a lovely time here! Wish we could have stayed longer! The only thing I would advise is that the beach is .1 miles away ...as the seagull flies...by foot or car is closer to .25 miles. Not a big deal. Anyway, Ann and Rebecca stayed in close contact with me, by text and phone, throughout our trip. The instructions on check in and out were clearly communicated...all kinds of conveniences on hand to make sure we were comfortable...LOVE the outdoor shower! The neighborhood is quiet and we love that the place is so close to town. Rebecca even texted about a local celebration for Earth Day in which we could participate. This is a nice place for a couple with one or two smaller kiddos. Lots of areas for storage for longer stays.Pool is clean, lots of seating and the fabric awnings keep the area cool in the afternoon.Thanks for a lovely time!

About the host

Hosted by Anne Hickman, Property Manager Bee Gee's Coastal Quarters

Host profile image
I was raised in Port Aransas and recently returned to the shore from the hill country. I have also taken over my mother's (BeeGee) Vacation Rental Property Management. I love what I do and I love living in Port Aransas. I enjoy meeting travelers and hope that they continue to return to stay with us year after year. My life's motto is "Carpe Diem !"

Why they chose this property

BeeGee had lived in Port Aransas for 35 years, and was acquainted with the Dome and Cottage property and even visited the construction site when it was being built. In 2007, she purchased the property next door and started her quest to acquire the Dome and Cottage. With luck and hard work, she made that dream a reality this past year after having managed it for the former owner for 4 years. I could not be happier to take over the ownership and management of this lovely property. Anne

What makes this property unique

The Cottage in the Dunes offers one of the few properties in Port Aransas with a private pool and also a short walk to the beach. Our unique cottage feels welcoming and you will know that you have reached a destination you will want to return to time and again!
