About this property
Large private pool! Old Town Cottage 1 block from the Marina STR 181918
We are pleased to announce that we now have a very large private pool in our backyard!! The pool is only available for those guests currently staying at our home.
Our 1940's beach home is a Harvey survivor and has been completely restored with new stainless steel appliances, fresh paint and flooring and all the modern amenities. The high ceilings, beefy pine moldings and oversized windows with original screened in porch & rustic outdoor shower make for an unforgettable vintage beach retreat experience that is sure to please everyone in the family.
The fully equipped kitchen, indoor & outdoor dining areas, 2 bedrooms and 1 bath are located on the main level of the house. There is a separate outside entrance to the Crow's Nest loft where an additional bedroom, sitting area and toilet/sink/changing area are located. The large screened in porch is the perfect place to escape, after a long day at the beach, with your favorite beverage, take a nap, read a book or play a board game with the kids. The enclosed outdoor shower with hot & cold water located off the back entrance makes cleaning off sand quick and easy. Walking distance to most of downtown, the marina, Charlies Pasture and ferry landing. Mermaids and big kahunas of all ages welcome!!

About the host
Hosted by Deon
We have always loved the beach and in particular Port Aransas. We even spent our honeymoon in Port A, after our initial trip to Little Palm, FL was derailed by a tropical depression. It turned out to be one of the most memorable trips of our lives and made us determined to own our own piece of the island one day. In the fall of 2013 we decided to start looking for a place and spent a month looking at homes in both Rockport and Port A. However, once we stepped foot in the house on 612 Avenue A we knew we had found our special place. It has all of the unique character and nostalgia of an older home and its close proximity to everything in Port A and just blocks from the sand and sea make it the Best Escape Anyone Could Have (B.E.A.C.H.). We are 'shore' you will love it as much as we do!!
