I picked this house because I love the view of the beach from the inside and outside. The huge kitchen island seats 12 and was a big hit with the family.
Another wonderful stay at this property! Lucy, the property manager is awesome. Checking in throughout the week to see if we need anything. Location is great. Easy access into town. Will always consider this property for future beach vacations.
Our family had a lovely stay at this property! The pictures posted do not do this house justice. The home is beautifully decorated, stocked with everything one would need, and the elevator was a huge plus for my parents who are in their 70s. The short walk to the beach allowed our family members to come and go as they pleased. Another plus for my parents who did not wish to stay on the beach quite as long as the young people in our family. The house was very clean upon arrival. I highly recommend this property, and we are looking forward to our next stay!
Our family had a wonderful time in Port Aransas thanks to this beautiful rental. The view from the second and third floor is stunning and made the time inside the house and on the large porches so peaceful. There was plenty of room for all 19 of us and beds wer cozy! The kitchen was fully stocked with every item we could need. The elevator was a blessing for our mobility impaired family members. The beach was a short walk down the boardwalk, and the pool is only steps away as well. Our host was so helpful and attentive. We hope to return again next year!
This house is so beautiful and so close to the beach!! The owner was very communicative throughout the whole process and super friendly! I highly recommend this house rental for any family or multiple families traveling together!
We rented this house to celebrate our mom’s 80th birthday with her remaining siblings. We wanted an intimate setting to enjoy family time. This house was perfect! The elevator was such a plus to help move our elderly family members through the house. The beach view was perfect for morning coffee and sunset dinners. The house had everything we needed for all of our meals. The boardwalk guided us to the beach. We had the most amazing stay. Communication was thorough and timely.
Great property for a large group. We had 14 total ranging in age from 16-76. There were 4 couples so the 4 king bed suites were perfect and the rest of the young adult cousins took the bunk beds. Everyone was happy. The huge island was great for meals and playing games. The views of the gulf were awesome and the walkway to the beach was so close and convenient. My family loved it. Would definitely recommend this property.
Our family had a lovely vacation at this Banyan Beach vacation rental! This beautiful home is clean, comfortable, well stocked...and very close to the beach! One of our goals was to stay in a home with a view of the ocean...the 2nd and 3rd floors offer beautiful ocean views! This Gem is located in a small, quiet community in Port A., where beach combing quickly became one of our favorite activities! The check-in process was smooth; both Property Owner and Property Manager were great communicators; and the home is as advertised!
Excellent property for multigenerational families!
We recently spent a long weekend at this property with our multigenerational family and it was perfect! Beautiful ocean views from the patio, and very easy walk to the beach, even for our parents who have more limited mobility. The kids had a blast and loved the bunk beds and foosball table. My father-in-law commented multiple times how much he appreciated the elevator too. It was a fantastic stay with lots of great memories. We will stay here again in the future!
Because 2 of us are 83 and 88, we have incredible appreciation for the elevator moving between the 3 floors. The location is perfect. We were a quarter of a mile from a beach access road for vehicles and one house away from the walkway to the beach. We visited numerous houses over several years, but never stay anywhere else now that we've found this Banyon Beach location.
We stay each Easter with our family and it is always our favorite weekend of the year! The house is very spacious and stocked with all needed items. It has an amazing view of the beach! As a bonus, the weather was perfect this year.
Our stay was wonderful! Comfortable, great location, and everything you need to have a relaxing stay. Owner was prompt answering any questions we had and truly cared about our stay. If you are questioning whether to book it, just do it! You won't regret it.
What a great place to stay while in Port Aransas. Location was wonderful. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for 3 generations, and the elevator was quite the plus. I hope we can all visit again.

Wonderful stay at Banyan Beach home!
This is the third year we have stayed at this house, and it is absolutely perfect for our multi-generational family. Beautiful view from the home and just a short walk over the boardwalk to the beach!

About the host
Hosted by Lisa Koxlien
Hi, I'm Lisa! I grew up in Texas, where hospitality and making people feel at home is second nature. For me, opening my doors to others is a way to share that feeling—to create a space where people can slow down, feel cared for, and connect to something meaningful. Whether you're here to rest, explore, or simply enjoy a change of scenery, I hope my home offers you the inspiration and comfort you're looking for. We cherish our time here with our friends and family, and believe that great places are meant to be shared. Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here.
Why they chose this property
This property offers incredible views and plenty of space to unwind. Two living areas mean the kids can have their own hangout spot in the game room while the adults relax. Port A has a laid-back vibe, but there's no shortage of great restaurants and things to do—from fishing adventures to hitting the Arnold Palmer-designed course at Palmilla Beach.
What makes this property unique
Beachfront with direct beach access, this home is a rare find. Designed with multiple families in mind, it offers private bedrooms for each group plus plenty of extra space for kids or additional guests. The clean, contemporary design is both stylish and inviting—you’ll feel like you’ve truly gotten away.
