The ultimate location for beach lovers! A Shore Thing has been completely remodeled, is set right on the beach, and boasts direct gulf views. Steps from your door, you can take a splash in the water and dig your toes into powder-soft sand. A large living, dining and kitchen area offers a fabulous entertaining space. While outdoors, a wraparound deck overlooking the surf is perfect for sundowners before dinner. Find the best of Port Aransas on your doorstep - the house is just a short drive from shops, restaurants, golf courses, fishing, nature trails, and in-town activities.

The spacious living area offers direct gulf views, with stylish wooden floors and coastal-inspired decor throughout. Gaze across the waves from the comfy sectional or two matching armchairs. In the evenings, host a movie night on the 55-inch TV. The large and open kitchen makes it easy for the chef to cook and chat with your group. Dish up meals at a wooden dining table. Extra perks include complimentary WiFi, cable TV, and a washer/dryer.

Prepared to be wowed by the gulf-front views from your wraparound deck. There’s seating for seven to relax in the sun and watch the rolling surf. After hitting the beach, rinse off at the convenient outdoor shower. Then sizzle seafood and veggies on the barbecue grill.

This unbeatable beachfront setting is just 65 steps from a golden strip of sand and the Gulf of Mexico. Spend the lazy days sprawled beside the waves and enjoying lazy coastal strolls. The house is just a few minutes’ drive to local shops, restaurants, golf courses, and in-town activities. While just 2.5 miles away, nature lovers can spot abundant wildlife, including alligators, fish, and an incredible array of birdlife at Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center.

This was our first time staying at this beach house; and we were very pleased! The view is amazing. The interior was very nice and clean, & more spacious than we expected. The side door could use a tad bit of work, but other than that, we had zero complaints! The prices were very good. We will definitely be back. This is our new favorite place.

My business partner and I stayed for 2 nights for a fishing trip. Excellent location. Open and spacious with a great deck for relaxing and watching the beach. Clean with comfortable beds. The grill is useless due to corrosion. We would definitely bring our wives back and book this place again.

Be ready to use a 4 wheel drive vehicle

The sand covers the driveway - it is about 10 inches deep so yes, it has a great view and yes it is on the beach and yes it is a great house, but you better be aware of the sand - sometimes you can drive in without using four wheel drive, but out of a 6 day vacation we had deep deep sand for all but the first day.

If you want a place right on the beach, this is it. You literally have to drive down the beach to get to the house.

Cool place to stay with a direct line to the beach

We had a great time at this house. The beach was steps away, there was a lot of great light and amenities. Perfect for a change of pace and a real beach experience. Would definitely book again.

Needs work

This home is in an absolutely ideal location. However, when we checked in, it was full of bugs and the refrigerator had not been cleaned and there was a strong unpleasant odor. The local vacasa team came that day and swept the hugs up at our request. The pictures are not current and the house needs a lot of maintenance. The kitchen appliances are old, the microwave doesn’t work, although they have put one on the cabinet for use, a cabinet door is not attached, the dining tables are very worn, the bathroom shower does not have the enclosure shown, just a curtain, there is no outdoor shower. Overall the pictures are very deceptive.

Mildew smell in bunk room when

The cleaning people did a splendid job preparing the place for us! The view from the rental and the beach assess were both excellent. However, the rental itself needs attention. Many appliances, beds, kitchen wear, furnishings, etc. need to be better maintained or even replace. Also, the kid's bunk is room smelt like mildew when it rained. It was strong enough that our kids ended up sleeping on the floor in another room and didn't use the bunk room for the remainder our stay. We still had a fantastic family vacation because things like this aren't a huge deal to us. But we thought we should recommend maintaining the rental better for a more comfortable stay.

You better have a four wheel drive vehicle

There were major problems with electrical and 10 inches of sand in the driveway. The managers felt it was typical of being at the beach and would not reply to texts. We ended up having to call the safety hotline about 5 times. They were going to cut off our power for four hours to fix the issue and expected us to find a place to go since no ac. The sand they told us it was worse the weekend before us. They told us to enjoy the view. We luckily had a four wheel drive and we learned quickly how to use it. When the managers disagree with what you think is safe, they simply ignore you. It was pathetic. We felt we were on our own to deal with whatever they thought was standard. Clearly we felt ignored. The microwave was very clean and nice.
