This fantastic retreat presents a prime coastal getaway. Your three-story beach house features ample deck space to enjoy the sights and sounds of Port Aransas, as well as all the living space your group needs to vacation in comfort. Enjoy two covered outdoor living spaces, including an outdoor lounge with a wood-burning fireplace. Take a short stroll via a community boardwalk to the beach, or drive to town, where you’ll find restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. Golfers can tee off at the Palmilla Golf & Beach Resort just down the road. Just steps from home, you will find the unheated community pool – spend the whole afternoon poolside or make a pit stop on your way back from the beach! The area is teeming with wildlife, including various migratory birds. Many charter boats depart from the nearby marina for world-class deep-sea fishing. For wet and wild excitement, the waterpark is a short drive down the island, as are the USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium.
The open floor plan and dual living rooms offer lots of space for social time. The inviting main living area is furnished with a comfy sectional and TV. You can also mix a drink at the bar and watch a movie in the den. Enjoy appetizers at the breakfast bar with seating while the chefs in your group make their way around a large kitchen with a wall of windows. A full suite of stainless steel appliances makes meal preparation a breeze. The adjacent dining area offers seating around a wood table.
The serene primary bedroom has a private deck and a bathroom with dual sinks, a jetted tub, and a walk-in shower. One guest bedroom is a treehouse-style loft with a twin-over-double bunk bed, a card table, and water views as far as the eye can see.
Extra perks include complimentary WiFi and a washer/dryer.

Wonderful

The house is great. Close to the beach. The outdoor spaces are great. The kitchen/living area made it easy for all of us to be in one room and cook meals together.
Had a wonderful Easter weekend with my adult children.
We would wake up and eat breakfast and then walk to the beach. Beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. Will be staying here again.
Great location, just a small walk to the beach. This place was very secure we have 2 autistic children and I never worried about their safety in the home which is a huge thing for me. We loved the stay and the area.
It was a wonderful trip. Accommodations were great. The house was clean and a lot of fun. Enjoyed the pool too. The decks were enjoyable. We were able to get in the early and that was nice since the weather was bad our first day.
The location was perfect to get to the beach and into town. Property was very clean but could use some repainting/updating, you can tell precious renters have been rough on this place! We didn’t have time to use the outdoor areas but they were set up nicely and would be great for when the weather is nice. Would stay here again
House was nice and inside clean and bug free. Outdoor porch and furniture needed power washing

Spring Break Fun
Pipeline manor worked out great for out first trip to Port A. The house comfortably held 3 families with plenty of space for cooking and hanging out. The washer and dryer definitely came in handy and it was really convenient that each room had its own, dedicated bathroom. With only a 6 min drive to the beach, would definitely return.
We stayed here last summer and had a blast. The location is great, you can see the pool from the balcony and there is a lot of space to spread out. If you aren’t use to stairs be prepared for your calves to ache the second day you’re there from going up and down the stairs. This stay, the bottom floor had a strange smell. Almost like cat pee. We had to go get an air freshener to help mask the smell some. The spot where the futon linens were labeled to be only had a pillow. We just pulled a sheet off the top bunk and found a comforter in another closet and made it work. We still had a great time but just had a couple hiccups this time. Nothing that ruined our trip.

The house wasn't clean when we arrived. Had to have housecleaning come again. Outlets didn't work and were too loose. One shower downstairs was not adjustable. Burned out lightbulbs. Ground floor had an odor. Bugs in the downstairs bathtub. Ice maker didn't work or there were no instructions.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay. Our team addressed the cleanliness concerns promptly, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
The outlets, shower, and burned-out lightbulbs have all been checked and corrected, and the ice maker has since been fixed. We have also taken steps to address the odor and ensure the downstairs bathtub is properly maintained.
We value your input, as it helps us improve the guest experience, and we hope to provide a smoother and more comfortable stay for future guests.
There is only one plug that works in the bathroom and almost all of the handles on the pocket doors are broken. The toilet paper is like sand paper. You can't see the ocean from the balcony, tho. Very clean! Will stay again if possible!

Beautiful home
This house was spacious, clean, and close to the beach. The reason I only gave 4 stars is because the kitchen was seriously lacking in greatness. I’m sure keeping track of kitchen items is difficult in a vacation rental, but it is also important for families that are coming and plan to use the kitchen. A few of the pans were not usable due to age and maintenance, there were some kitchen staples like foil or salt and pepper that would have been nice to have. A little better maintained kitchen and this place is a 5 star vacation home.
