The voice of the sea speaks to my soul! Almost 11 years ago, my husband, youngest daughter and I, set out traveling the Texas coastline in search of the perfect retreat. We found Port Aransas and fell in love! With caution to the wind, we left the fast paced city life of Houston and settled here in 'Old Town' Port Aransas. We busy our free time with fabulous fishing, shell hunting, bird watching and lazy beach lounging. Over the years, our family vacations have always involved water and sand...we are so happy to be living our holiday on a daily basis.
Along with our vacation rental, we are also self-employed...the creative side of me loves color, decor and gardening. I get my fix via my ladies boutiques that I own here on the island...Saltwater Gypsies and Tippy Toes. My husband is a technology guru and thrives on it...he owns and manages an electronic security company in The Woodlands, TX and also here on the island. We've been married 33 years and have 3 kids...Our oldest daughter is a recent graduate of SCAD and is pursuing her freelance illustration career in Houston, TX (see some of her work in the cottage)...We have a son who has recently served in the USAF, stationed in CO (with his girlfriend and our two totally scrumptious grandsons)...and we have our youngest daughter that is entering her junior year at St Edwards University in Austin, TX.
