A great place to relax!

We grew up in the area and wanted to return for some beach time and relaxation. We were not disappointed. There were three adults in our group and our dogs, but the home is well-suited for more guests.The property is a short walk to the beach. In fact, just walking our dogs, we would easily get down to the beach and back in a few minutes. When we wanted to hang out at the beach, we took the whole crew and lots of equipment, so we got a 12 beach pass so that we could use our vehicle rather than walking with all of our stuff. If one didnt need much, they could just use the available cart at the property and walk.The kitchen and dining areas were fantastic for making all of pur meals. The appliances are modern, and there are plenty of cooking implements and dry ingredients available. I would have brought fewer supplies had I known the extent of what was available! The same applies for some of the beach and pool equipment available for use in the shed. We DID use the BBQ (a Weber kettle) once and it was very easy to operate and clean. The extra entertainment spaces such as the back yard, screened patio, and pool areas really increase the entertainment options, amd the outdoor showers allowed our people and equipment to be easily cleaned before going inside. My only caution is to those who have never stayed at a beach house. This is FAR from roughing it with all of the amenities, cool AC, and decorative updates. Expect sand, weather wear, and fellow tourists!

We love this property!!

We've been renting houses in Port Aransas for many years and this one is by far our favorite. We will definitely be back! It was the cutest house had every amenity and super close to the beach. We loved the private fenced in pool and the awesome porch. Our kids slept in the loft and loved it! Even though they had a bed downstairs they could have used :-) perfect stay! Wish I could live in that house forever :-) thank you!

Great place for spring break vacation

My wife, three kids, in-laws, and dog had a great experience. The house was very clean and well stocked with linens and had thoughtful touches like beach towels, chairs and toys for the kids. Having the washer/dryer onsite was very convenient. The kitchen was well stocked with everything to prepare meals including pans, utensils, coffee maker, etc. We enjoyed the patio for playing cards and hanging out. Our kids enjoyed the small private pool. The location is a short walk to the beach and a short drive to any place in town. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing vacation.

Cute little blue home

This house was so cute and cozy. I truly felt like it was a home away from home. The pool was perfect size and maintained. The Wifi went down, and I text the homeowners immediately just to make sure it was their home itself, and they informed me it was a block thing, and they kept me updated through the evening. I didn't mind it going down, there were plenty of other things to do, other than being online or watching tv. The walk to the beach was so close and fantastic. I will be booking this house again. Thank you for sharing your little bit of heaven in Port A. Sincerely, Sky Ann 11/12/2024

Older folks and their fur babies.

Your place was just like the pictures and was very close to the beach. The only thing we noticed was the floors were not very clean….everything else was. As we were a little older, the beds were very high. Ha!! All in all it was fun and we may come again next year. Thanks for all your help. Oh, the dogs loved it!!👍

We loved the ample sleeping spaces, cute beachy decor, and cozy front porch. The pool, convenient location to restaurants and the beach, and pet-friendly policy made it perfect place for our family to stay. The super thick towels and luxurious pillows were icing on the cake. I want to plan another trip soon with a longer stay.

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

This is our second time staying, the host always have all that we need to feel at home and enjoy our stay. The location is great as we can just load up the wagon and walk to the beach for a few hours. They have outdoor shower to clean off from the beach and spray your beach toys/ chairs down. Well supplied kitchen, plenty of beds for everyone and the screened in porch made it nice to still enjoy being outside even in the rainy mornings.

This house exceeded our every expectation

There are several gathering areas that allow you to come together or spread out as needed. The decor is charming and eclectic and demonstrates how much the hosts have invested into making sure you enjoy your stay. I texted them several times in the weeks leading up to our trip, and they went above and beyond in giving me tips on what to pack and what to do once we arrived. I didn't think we would use the pool very often, given how close we were to the beach, but my younger kids and I loved that it was only 4 ft deep, meaning they didn't have to stay confined to a "shallow end" and I wasn't nearly as anxious as I usually am when supervising them while swimming. We hope to return someday!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin and Kate McCarthy

Host profile image
We grew up in Austin Tx and have been visiting Port Aransas all our lives. Kevin is a Realtor in Austin and is an an avid investor/renovator. Kate works in the mortgage business and has a great eye for design and amateur photographer. We have 2 wonderful daughters, Ava and Morgan.

Why they chose this property

Its been on both of our bucket lists to own a property in port Aransas. We rented a house around the corner with some friends for our 10th Anniversary. After going by the property several times on the way to the beach we decided to investigate it and the opportunity presented itself for us to purchase the property from the estate. It needed a lot of work but with our vision and a unique skillset for renovating property we were able to make this home amazing.

What makes this property unique

You can literally walk out the front door and take the sidewalk a block down to the beach. If you have rolling wagons ect... its so easy to get down there. No need to deal with a beach walk over. The property sits low so its easy to get in and out of or carry your gear, coolers, and stuff in to the house without having to go up a flight of stairs. The porch in the front is such an awesome hang out spot. I love to sit there and watch folks walk by and drive by on the golf carts ect.... The pool out front is perfect for hanging out with seating on one end for the adults and the other end for the kids to play. We went the extra mile with the beds. They are super comfortable. Its awesome to wake up in any of the rooms with the high peak ceilings with rafters. Such a unique place.
