Bring the whole family to the Gulf! This three-bedroom, three-bath Port Aransas house is nestled in beachside Lost Colony, with a pool, oversized deck, and secluded beach. Spacious, with kitchens and living areas on both floors, it’s ideal for combined groups.

INSIDE THE RENTAL

This spacious three-bedroom house has two levels, each with its own living area and kitchen.

On the lower level, is a wet bar kitchen that includes a mini-fridge. In the sleeping area, two queen beds sit alongside a full-size futon. The sofa also pulls out to a full-size sleeper so this area fits eight. A flat-screen TV and there’s a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination.

The upstairs main living room boasts a vaulted ceiling and is deluged with natural light from large windows. A leather couch, armchair, and chaise lounge invite you to relax with the large flat-screen TV, and the room opens up to a huge deck with oversized loungers.

An updated kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (including an electric stove/oven), and a breakfast bar with three stools. If you’d rather have a sit-down dinner, there’s a dining table for four.

In the primary bedroom, you can enjoy mornings on your own private balcony and nights in a comfortable king bed. There’s a flat-screen TV and an en-suite bathroom with a tub/shower combination.

The second bedroom, this one with a queen bed, also has an en-suite bathroom and a flat-screen TV.

Downstairs, the third bedroom has two queens, and you'll find one pullout and one futon as well. The downstairs bath has a glass-enclosed shower.

THE LOCATION

Stroll down to the Lost Colony private community boardwalk and find yourself on the sands, or take a dip in the shared swimming pool. The private boardwalk access to the beach is a five-minute walk from the condo. Please note, there is no vehicle access to the beach at this location. Lost Colony is located 8 miles from downtown Port Aransas on Mustang Island.

Brought a boat with you? Island Moorings Marina is less than a 10-minute drive. Port Aransas is a 12-minute drive away, with a range of activities and shopping opportunities to fill your days. Charter a fishing boat and have one of the local eateries cook your catch for you. You can spot dolphins, build sandcastles, browse the local art galleries, or just lie on the beach and soak up the sun.

With an oversized deck, gently swaying hammocks, and gulf views, this beachside home will have you slowing down in no time!

House needs a little update but overall location to pool and beach was great, enough parking for 4 vehicles and staff were very helpful for minor repair issues.

Family vacation

We loved the fact that this house is within walking distance of the beach and is in an area that isn’t overly crowded. The house was clean. The kids liked the fact they had their own area downstairs. The downstairs door handle does need to be fixed because it is loose and the door stuck on is a couple of times. But overall it was a nice stay.

House did not have a beach view but was in a convenient location to get to the beach. House was comfortable but could use some bathroom updates. Would have liked a little later check out time on departure day. The ten AM check out is a little early making everyone rush to leave. Being a pet friendly location is a plus for people traveling with pets. The description said it had easy access to the board walk but not really sure about that due to the gated portion of the community at the end of the street.Overall would give the property a three star rating.

Enjoyed our stay

We really enjoyed this house. We separated the house. The group who liked to stay up late and the early to rise were able to be separated so not to bother anyone, but still close to enjoy each other throughout the day. The house is close enough to the beach and to town. If you don’t like stairs, do not stay here. It is a good walk to the beach, probably about 10 minutes but totally worth it. The small pool was clean and comfortable for a small group.

Seas the Day

Unit is nicely decorated & property was good. AC could have been better at keeping unit cool. Biggest disappointment was cleanliness of unit (sheets in Master bed dirty!). Outside area (cigarette butts and hair balls). Bottom door handle still very loose, needs to be fixed/tighten (past issue still not corrected). Property Manager just needs to give Seas the Day a real good cleaning inside & out. Main floor toilets very slow to flush. You will need to hold the handle down for a while.

Family vacay

The house was what we expected. Was very clean and the kitchen had plenty of dishes and pans. We did struggle with the downstairs door a little. The handle is loose and the door didn’t always shut easily and twice it stuck and it took us a little bit to get it open. Overall it worked well for us.

Fun Time At Port Aransas

The online pictures of this unit did not portray the property well. However when we arrived, we were very impressed. The place was very clean, it was well furnished inside and out. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows were perfect, unlike a lot of places we have stayed. The kitchen was well stocked with just about anything you would need to cook whatever you wanted to cook, pots, pans, plates, platters, knives, Oct. All you need is the groceries. There was boogie boards and other beach toys for the kids. It was obvious that the owners put a lot of thought into making the stay as pleasant as possible. Thank you for all you have done to make this vacation a memory we will have for a lifetime.

Close to the beach

This house is very close to the beach but you don’t really have access to walk to it unless the gate is open (we aren’t given a password). It sleeps 8 comfortably… little kids would be ok on the futons but bedding was not provided. The mosquitos are very bad, bring bug spray!!! And be aware that the first level sleeps four and the other beds are downstairs with a different door (no access from upstairs) this would be hard with young kids. Overall we still had a good stay.

Looks better in the pictures

The Home needs work and it was not comfortable. Upstairs the patio door handle was broken the outdoor furniture was ripped and broken. Downstairs the one of the sofa bed was broken and the other had pet hairs. The 2 queen beds are very old and you can feel the springs. The restroom door had a big hole on the bottom the hanger close to the door was broken also and there is no bug control whatsoever. The mosquitoes were very very bad. It’s also farther out to town than mentioned.

Great house given a weekends worth of work

Let me specify the house was nice, but it could use some overdue maintenance. The downstairs air grill is holding on for dear life, the downstairs bathroom door was damaged, and at the upstairs bar a previous guest shoved a chair into the dry wall. Other than that, the house was in good shape and I had a great time. Just hard to pay this much for a weekend and see damaged property out the gate.

Seas The Day

The floors were really dirty when we got there and few other small things randomly broke on their own, like a sliding door handle that wasn’t actually attached and the dishwasher, but all in all it was a good place to stay. This is our second time staying at Lost Colony and will keep staying. We had a great time.

Problems left and right

One of the upstairs sliding doors didn’t have a handle, it was just set to the side of the counter. The dishwasher didn’t even work. the downstairs was much worse. The downstairs bathroom door looked like it had been kicked in one corner of it and wouldn’t stay closed. The handle was almost pulled out of its housing. The sliding door was also almost out of its housing, it was so loose. The front door was falling out of its housing and barely latched. The beds had a huge dip you could see even when made, they say there is bedding for the pull out and the futon but we had to supply some of our own and blankets just to cover up at night. The hideaway just dropped to the floor when you barely pulled it out. The vents dripped and had blackish mold/mildew on/around them. That is not clean or healthy. This home was not as advertised. Everywhere we turned, something was broken or rigged or not working. This house as not the enjoyable stay we expected, after paying what we did to stay here.

The home was beautiful and spacious. The air conditioner was great! The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The beach access was amazing. We actually met with a realtor during our stay and discussed investing in the area. That's how wonderful this area was. The home would be great and we would rent it again, if these minor hindrance were to be improved. These were minor inconveniences and we worked through them- it didn't hinder our stay, but adding all the minor inconveniences becomes a major problem, maybe not for us but others. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your wonderful home! 😃🙂

Not quite what I thought

The top story was nice and a nice porch but not very scenic. The walk to the boardwalk to get to the beach was farther than I would like. The bottom story has no access to the top floor which makes it hard to be available for children of a certain age. Swimming pool was directly across from this property. Spiders were a problem on the bottom story. Hairdryer was broken and sparked up a small flame. Construction was next door so always noisy. Will not rent here again

Stink, stank, stunk

Cons: Horrible smell. Fishy, stale, with air freshener on top. Home is in disrepair and filthy. Stained throw pillows. Stained sofa downstairs. Stained sleeping pillows. Food spilled on walls, food spilled on cabinet doors, broken kitchen drawers. Broken dishwasher, filled with nasty water. Broken towel holders. Shower door won’t close. Rain shower head won’t function. AC condensates and drips/blows water. Stove top burners broken/not functioning. Door handles broken or not functioning. Sliding doors cannot be closed except by adult they are so stuck. Mini refrigerator smelled like week-old fish. Bathroom faucet spews water out like a fire hydrant. One sofa downstairs was covered in hair or some kind of fibers. Decorations are broken/chipped, then glued or taped back together. Not enough paper towels, or toilet paper, not enough bathing towels for our stated group size. This is a sad standard for a rental home. Home needs deep cleaning and laundering of throw pillows. Some new items- a sofa being one, and a multitude of repairs! Pros: Had electricity, hot water, and was close to the beach.

Beach getaway

Great location. Walking distance to beach. Nice pools in the community. AC works great and back porch set up nice for relaxing with ocean breezes. Plenty of TVs. Stairs and side porches needing some repairs. Getting unsafe. Floors in upstairs unit very dirty. Found hair and tar left from previous vacationers. Units need updated bath mats and dish towels need to be in kitchens. Upstairs refrigerator door does not stay closed well. But even though few inconveniences, we always have a great time in Port Aransas Lost Colony.

Listing is deceptive

This is actually 2 separate units which makes safety and adequate supervision of children staying downstairs difficult. Over 3 hours to get access to the property. Codes change without notice and dont match what was provided. Nowhere near beach front and you cant even drive to the boardwalk because it is gated.
