Barefoot Dreams SCD616 - Pet-friendly beach home with private pool just a short walk to the beach!

WHY GUESTS LOVE THIS PROPERTY
Barefoot Dreams is a spacious six-bedroom home on a beach access road with a private pool, parking for up to five vehicles, and the Gulf just 0.2 miles away. With three full floors of living space, two ensuite bedrooms on the top floor, and a pet-friendly policy, this home is built for large groups and families who want room to breathe, a pool to come home to, and the beach practically at their doorstep.

HIGHLIGHTS
- Private pool with optional heating available for an additional fee
- Just 0.2 miles from the beach on a direct beach access road
- Pet friendly for up to 3 pets
- Six bedrooms across three floors with parking for up to 5 vehicles
- Two third-floor ensuite bedrooms offering added privacy

WHAT TO EXPECT
Barefoot Dreams delivers the kind of space and flexibility that large groups genuinely need. Three floors of living area give everyone room to spread out, with six bedrooms spread across the levels in a configuration that works well for multi-family trips or groups traveling with multiple generations. The first and second floors offer four queen bedrooms that are well suited for families, while the third floor features two more private retreats — a queen room with a sleeper sofa and ensuite bath, and a king suite with its own ensuite bath — ideal for adults who want a quieter space of their own.

The private pool anchors the outdoor experience and can be heated for those who want a warm swim regardless of the season. A BBQ grill and outdoor lounge area complete the backyard setup for easy cookouts and afternoon relaxation. When you are ready to head to the beach, it is just a short 0.2-mile walk down the beach access road — close enough that multiple trips a day feel completely effortless.

We loved the property and our Port A vacation. The rental had everything that a large family needed- separate spaces with a large common area for family dinners. The location was ideal and everyone loved the private pool. We only wish that we had booked it for more days!!! We will definitely be back.

We love hearing this! It sounds like the home was the perfect spot for your family to spread out, come together for meals, and make some wonderful memories in Port Aransas. We're so glad everyone enjoyed the private pool and the convenient location. And if your only regret was not staying longer, we'd say that's a pretty good sign! Thank you for your kind review—we can't wait to welcome you back for an even longer beach getaway next time!

House and location are perfect for a stay at Port Aransas. There is plenty of room and great parking. The only issue we had was notification that checkin was running behind. A simple text would have lessened the frustration. With that said we really enjoyed the house and our time there. We plan on returning next summer. Thanks for sharing your house.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the home, its location, and the extra parking, and it's wonderful to hear you're already planning to return next summer. We also appreciate your feedback about the delayed check-in communication. You're absolutely right—a quick text update would have made a difference, and we'll use your comments to help improve that experience for future guests. We can't wait to welcome you back for another fantastic island getaway!

We loved our stay at 616 Sandcastle. We had 13 and the three story property fit our needs perfectly, gave us all our own room and privacy while the 2nd floor common area accommodated everyone for meals and games at the large table which was appreciated. Just a couple of blocks from the beach and the kids loved the pool. Even the maintenance people were helpful when our grandson left his wallet under a mattress. We got to the property just in time before the codes changed and they helped us locate it. Loved that the bottom floor had a separate area so the ones with kiddos had a place for them to rest. Good memories.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 July 2026
It sounds like 616 Sandcastle was the perfect gathering place for your family! We're so happy to hear the layout gave everyone the space and privacy they needed while still bringing everyone together on the second floor for meals, games, and making memories. It also sounds like the kids had a blast with the pool, and we're glad the separate downstairs living area worked so well for the little ones. We're especially happy our maintenance team was able to help recover your grandson's wallet. It's always nice when a stressful moment has a happy ending! Thank you for choosing Port A Escapes. We hope your family made memories that will last a lifetime, and we'd love to welcome you back again!

Great family vacation accommodation!

Lots of space for our multi generational family to spread out and enjoy. Close to the beach to walk it, but you would have to tear us away from the fantastic private pool in the backyard, which was nicely shaded half of the day. Great house and responsive property management! Would definitely stay here again!!
