About this property

Easy walk to the beach, double deck w/ocean view! Sleeps 10 in 8 separate beds!!

Welcome to the Blue Roost! Newly renovated and ready for your beach vacation!

Grab this perfect walk-to-the-beach location before it gets booked!

Our beach house has everything you need for a vacation here - comfortable beds with cool and crisp linens, fluffy bathroom towels, open shelves in the kitchen stocked to feed friends and family, beach toys and chairs for days in the sun. Bring your food and you are good to go!

Year-round Port Aransas has something for everyone! There is abundant sun, surf and-sand if you just want to "get away from it all." If you are lucky, watch a turtle hatchling release at the Padre Island National Seashore during the summer. Port A is THE place for fishing - in the bay, offshore or from the jetties - you are sure to go home with some fish tales! For the nature lover, the birds here are incredible - seeing a squadron of Pelicans dive for their meals, or the pink of Roseate Spoonbills never gets old for us! If you want to go shelling on a secluded island, check out San Jose Island - accessible by ferry from Port A For the art lover - the Port Aransas Art Center holds classes and has gorgeous local art available for purchase. Relaxing on the beach or adventuring in town, you won't be bored in Port Aransas!

This charming beach house gives you the best of both worlds - close to the beach and to town. The sand is less than 5 minutes away via the private La Playa neighborhood boardwalk and our place is your best location for the yearly SandFest event located right across the boardwalk on the beach.

The Blue Roost is a three bedroom, two bathroom beach house that sleeps up to 10 adults in 8 separate beds. It is comfortable enough for a quiet stay for two and large enough for a vacation with the extended family. Great for girls getaways, fishing excursions and family trips. As our guest at the Blue Roost (an owner managed property) you will have easy access to the house via your personal lock code - which means no coordinating schedules to pick up/drop off keys and no danger of losing keys at the beach!

Kitchen/Dining

This beach house has a large, fully equipped kitchen that holds everything you need to feed friends and family. The beautiful large island in the kitchen is the heart of the house. The island seats 6 and the beautiful live-edge dining table seats up to 10. For morning coffee or al fresco dining, just outside the kitchen, the covered sitting area is perfect for 5, or head up to the top deck Adirondack chairs for 6 more.

Living Room

The cozy living room has a large sofa with chaise and two comfy barrel chairs. If you need to stay in touch with the outside world for remote work or schooling, you will have access reliable high-speed 400Mbps WiFi throughout the house and on the decks. Use the new 50" flat screen TV to watch DishTV (HD) and stream Netflix when you want to take a break from the sun.

Bedrooms

The large master bedroom downstairs has a new comfy king-sized memory-foam bed and the equally large guest room across the hall has two of the same Queen-sized beds. The downstairs bedrooms share a bathroom with spa shower and double vanity. The upstairs, called the Seven Dwarfs room by my kids, is a fabulous 37-foot-long bedroom with one queen bed, 4 twin beds and a bathroom with shower. All bedrooms are equipped with an HD DishTV and Netflix. Sleeps 10 adults in 8 separate beds. All bedding and bath towels are provided. No wimpy towels here!

The upstairs bedroom has a short stairwell entrance which opens up to a very tall room with slanted ceiling. The room has a sliding barn-style door for privacy. There’s a workstation in this room complete with a comfy chair, HD 31” computer monitor, wired keyboard and wired mouse for your tele-work/tele-school needs (bring your own laptop/device).

Two Levels of Decks

The upper deck is a great area to work on a tan while enjoying a lovely birds eye and partial view of the Gulf. When you've had enough sun, lounge on the covered lower deck and enjoy the balmy breezes and sounds of the sea. Both decks have gates at the steps, providing a secure area for small children or pets.

Other Amenities:

* Wallbox Level 2 EV electric vehicle charge station - Output up to 40amps for a fast charge!

* Outdoor shower (not heated) and hose to rinse off the sand

* Playhouse and sand toys for the kids

*Beach wagon, sand chairs and shade tents to make the most enjoyable trip to the beach

* Washer/dryer with laundry soap provided

Perfect getaway with beach access - PLUS TOYS!
This was such a well furnished, well stocked house with berry easy access to the beach. We’ve stayed at a number of places on Port A and this house sets itself apart in so many ways: location to the beach, access to beach toys, tons of beds, and close in to town. We brought boards, wagon, buckets and chairs, only to find that these were already waiting for us. Owner was also very responsive when the coffee machine didn’t work; they had another coffee machine delivered by hand the next day! The upper deck was also a very nice place to gather and see the ocean. We will definitely keep the Blue Roost on our list for rebooking

Fall Getaway
We enjoyed a wonderful week in Port Aransas. The house is in a great location with a short walk to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and had an unexpectedly good view of the beach. Lauren was both pleasant & professional. We would happily stay here again.

Relaxing mid-week stay
Great location! Very close to the beach, and the boardwalk makes it an easy walk. You can see the water from the top deck, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. If you bring a pup, watch out for stickers! The owner provides all sorts of essentials for the beach and in the kitchen. I can see how this house would be very appealing for groups. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Applegate

Host profile image
Texas A&M Aggie grads Doug & Lauren with two little girls who love the beach! We live in The Woodlands, TX, and make sure to sneak away as often as possible to enjoy The Blue Roost with our family and friends.

Why they chose this property

After purchasing our first vacation rental in Galveston, TX in 2016 we decided that the Texas Coast is the place for us! We love the uniquely fun vibe that is Port Aransas and can't wait to share that experience with our guests. Enjoy awesome food, fun and fishing in Port Aransas then escape back to the comfy house for direct beach access, comfy beds and all the extras that make your vacation memorable. We love our guests and hope to have the opportunity to make you feel at home in our 2nd home!

What makes this property unique

The direct beach access really sold us on this property. Just walk out the front door past a few houses to the private neighborhood boardwalk. You'll have your toes in the ocean in less than 5 minutes and never worry about getting sand all in the car! The covered lower deck is perfect for enjoying the sea-breeze in shaded comfort and the double-decker upper level is awesome for ocean views and getting a little sun!
