About this property

The Blue Marlini- Best 360 view, Private Heated Pool, and golf cart! Garage A/C!

We built this home with the intent to sleep 3 families, so we put a master bedroom on each of the 3 floors. We wanted a view of the ocean and so we built a crows nest which has the BEST 360 degree view of Port Aransas and the ocean! We put in all of our favorite amenities like the huge heated pool, a ping pong table, a garage that will fit a boat, wet bars with fridges on every floor, a gourmet kitchen, memory foam mattress on every bed, rain shower heads, ice maker, and the most amazing sunset deck. It was important for us to still be in town so you can get to the grocery store, restaurants, bars, shopping, and the beach by golf cart within a 5 minute cruise. The house is situated in a quiet cul-de sac. There is enough parking for up to 7 vehicles. From the top deck you can see the ships coming in and out of the ship channel, the ocean, the bay. and all the way to Corpus Christi. A climate controlled garage finishout was completed in 2025 to enhance guest comfort while enjoying ping pong and corn hole!

Beautiful Beach House with Room to Relax and Entertain

We had a great stay at this beach house! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the large kitchen made it easy to cook and hang out together. The pool was definitely a highlight—everyone loved it. One of our favorite moments was watching the spectacular sunset from the crow's nest deck—absolutely breathtaking. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway with a group!

Beautiful home close to the beach

This was a beautiful home with lots of space for a larger group. Having a master bedroom on each floor was a major perk. The kids loved the pool and the golf carts were a plus. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing Place to Stay!

This place is exactly as the pictures show and as described. It was clean and cozy. The heated pool was absolutely amazing. The included golf cart made it so easy to get to the beach and little shops and restaurants. I have knee problems so the elevator came in so handy. There is plenty of space for all of us to gather and the observation deck was the icing on the cake. We will definitely be booking again on our next family/friend trip the Port A.

Beautiful Spacious Home

Three floors, three decks, good sized bedrooms + a large pool area- so it was wonderful not being on top of each other (7 adults & 2 teens). Golf cart was super convenient and kitchen/house was well stocked. There was even a beach cooler. Mike was great and very proactive in communication (sent a detailed PDF about the house amenities & things in the area ahead of time). Price was a bit more than we typically spend on our family vacation rental, but absolutely worth it!

Super house for group of friends. Each person had their own space and the accommodations were very comfortable. Lots of stairs, but the elevator came in super handy. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pans, etc to feed a large hungry group. Highly recommend these hosts and the Blue Marlini.

My family came in from out of state for graduation and this was the perfect mini vacation for our large group. The owner communicated immediately for any questions/inquires I had. The house has everything you need, plus some!! Especially loved pool, separate patios, outside shower head to rinse off and a golf cart available to take to the beach!

Great location

We loved the location but there were several places in the house that weren't clean. beds and towels with hair found on them. Garage was dirty. Patio was dirty and had a random propane tank sitting there. I planned to grill some meals but the grill was in the garage and I didn't know if it was working or not. Overall, the house was good. Lots of room and perfect location.

The property was very very nice. Overall the owner was amazing. No complaints there.

Hospitality from owner was top notch. The house was beautiful. Not a whole lot to do in “Port A” in the winter, but we can’t complain. The golf cart was an added plus! Very nice as well. There is one camera on the top deck area if that sorta thing bothers you. Overall this house was amazing. Thank you for our stay.

Great place to stay!

First off, I must mention the outstanding customer service / communication with host we had. There were two small hiccups that were handled immediately. I was quite amazed how quickly someone was out to fix the elevator and the heater on the pool. Literally within hours. Second (and lastly), the house is great…roomy and spread out. The common living /kitchen area was large enough for everyone to eat and socialize. The heated pool and area was nice to have because there were a few cooler days. The garage is LARGE with a ping pong table and cornhole. Love this house…and the attentive host for any needs or concerns we had while there.

Summer stay

When we showed up, it had appeared the housekeeping had not done that great of a job cleaning up as there was a musty smell in the bathroom, the kitchen had ants and bugs crawling, the golf cart was not cleaned, and the pool had sand. For $5,000 for 3 nights I definitely expected more.

Great house for spring break family vacation

We booked the Blue Marlini house for spring break a couple of weeks ago and the house was wonderful! There are 13 in our family and we had plenty of room. The heated pool was a huge success for our grandsons as they were in it every day and we appreciated having access to the golf cart. The house was clean when we arrived and well stocked with things we needed to get our week started. Michael and Marsha were great to work with, too. When I called them, they responded quickly, they were courteous and answered my questions. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Michael and Marsha!

Long Weekend Fishing Tournament

The house was great. Comfortable beds. Pool was perfect. We were down for a fishing tournament and had several trucks with boat trailers. Plenty of space. Only issue we encountered was the neighbor across the street. As we were shifting vehicles and golf carts around he, in a drunken stupor, called the police on us and claimed that we touched his yard with a trailer. Otherwise, awesome house, cool owners and looks just the photos.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Dayon

Host profile image
As a Texas family with five kids, we know how important it is to have a space that’s both fun and relaxing for all ages. That’s why we’ve designed our homes with families in mind—from cozy corners to splash-worthy fun. Whether we’re soaking up the sun in Port Aransas or strolling the charming downtown square in Georgetown, travel is our passion! Your family will love our year-round heated pool! It’s all about new memories and relaxing in comfort!

Why they chose this property

Ocean Views, Family Comfort & the True Port A Vibe
We designed this home with two things in mind: breathtaking views and bringing people together. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or winding down after a day at the beach, you'll always have a view of the ocean — anytime of day.

This spacious home is perfect for multiple families or groups traveling together. There's plenty of room to relax, a private pool for the kids to splash around in, and cozy spots to kick back and take in the coastal breeze.

Conveniently located less than 5 minutes from the beach, grocery store, restaurants, bars, and shopping — and with a golf cart, getting around is a breeze. No long drives from the outskirts of town here; you’ll be right in the heart of Port A, soaking in the laid-back, local vibe.

Bonus: We offer ample parking, which is a rare find in our little beach town!

What makes this property unique

Bird’s Eye Bliss from the Crow’s Nest
Our favorite spot? The crow’s nest — hands down. From up there, you’ll catch stunning sunrises over the Gulf and unforgettable sunsets over the bay. It’s the perfect place to sip your morning coffee, enjoy an evening drink, or just take in the laid-back magic of Port A.

This home truly has it all: a prime location, coastal views, space for everyone to spread out, and little extras that make a beach trip feel like a real getaway.
