About this property

Rock the Boat by AvantStay | 5 Blocks to Beach

This little cottage is perfect for a family getaway. It's everything you dream of when you think of a classic beach cottage. With all-new interiors, it feels like you've gone to Cape Cod.

Experience everything you desire in this two-bedroom, one-bath house near Port Aransas Beach. Sleeping 6, this home is only a short stroll down to the Texas Gulf Coast Beach. Lots of parking. Bring your boat!

Sit back on the sofa in the living room and watch the flat-screen TV. The sofa in the living room is a queen sleeper sofa for extra space, while the fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook your local fresh catch of the day. The dining table has seating for four, perfect for intimate meals or game nights.

There is one king and one queen bedroom, each with a flat-screen TV, perfect for those who love to fall asleep to their favorite show or movie. The shared bathroom offers a shower/tub combo for a relaxing soak. There's also an outdoor shower for a convenient post-beach rinse and a new washer and dryer on the back enclosed porch.

You'll find a patio with outdoor seating and a grill in the backyard. With lawn space and fencing, this is the perfect place for kids and furry friends to play (Rock the Boat is pet-friendly!)

Cozy and Close
A great house away from the hub and the bub of the main roads, yet close to everything! Interior is nicely decorated and clean. Only minutes away from several points of interest - Fisherman's Wharf, Wetlands Park, Ferry landing, Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center and of course the beach!! It's worth a return stay.
