Welcome to Leave of Absence, your perfect getaway in sunny Port Aransas, where coastal charm meets modern luxury. This beautifully designed retreat invites you to leave the hustle and bustle behind and embrace a slower pace just steps from the beach.
Start your day in the luxe backyard oasis, lounging poolside on sun chairs as the sparkling water beckons for a morning dip. Fire up the grill in the outdoor prep area, complete with a bar and stools for casual conversation, then gather around the outdoor dining table for a feast of fresh seafood. With a cozy lounge area and an upper deck boasting additional seating and a delightful ocean glimpse, you'll have plenty of spaces to soak in the coastal breeze or savor a sunset cocktail.
The location is unbeatable, with the beach just a short walk away—less than a minute by car or golf cart—making it ideal for those seeking a quick and easy connection to the sand and surf.
Step inside to discover a welcoming, cohesive interior where every detail feels like home. The living room is made for relaxing movie nights on the TV, while the open dining area and barstool seating at the kitchen island ensure everyone has a place at the table. The fully equipped kitchen offers abundant prep and storage space, making meal prep a breeze.
When it's time to unwind, retreat to one of the three thoughtfully curated bedrooms—or head up to the spacious loft, which features a cozy queen bed, additional seating, and a relaxed vibe perfect for reading or napping. The primary suite is a haven of tranquility with its spa-like ensuite bathroom and luxurious shower. The convenience of in-home laundry and an outdoor shower ensures sandy toes never linger long.

Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home, the easy walk to the beach, and the hosting experience. We’d love to have you stay with us again anytime!
Property is nice and is in a great location on the access road to the beach. House worked great for 4 adults and 6 kids.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Rustin! We’re happy to hear the property worked well for your group and that the location was ideal for easy beach access. We hope to welcome you back in the future!
The house was good but lacking in some things. The wash machine was not working and was not fixed while we were there. One toilet kept clogging and took forever to fill. No oven mitts or trivets. Otherwise good.

Liked: Check-in, location
Check in was supposed to be 4 pm, we got there close to 5pm and cleaning team was still there. House was extremely warm when we arrived and took about a day to cool.. place is cute and private pool was extremely nice to have. If you have elderly or anyone with a hard time climbing stairs, this may not be the place for you. It is three levels, entertaining and eating is located on second level.. did love how close it located to the beach, though this time we did not visit. Kitchen does have everything you need! We brought most of our things since this was our first time visiting. Also not sure if all places are similar to this but this location requires you to start washer for swim towels, start dishwasher, and throw out all trash bags. Though we would have done most of this, I was so paranoid to miss something from the list of check out instructions, it made it more stressful. The fear of being charged extra for missing something..
