October 2025 update: FALL IS HERE... AND WINTER IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. WINTER TEXANS WELCOME! Fall and Winter are our favorite times of the year (less crowds and less heat!) The pool can be heated from November through April, so If there's a cold front, turn on the private heated pool! YOU CONTROL THE TEMPRATURE FOR THE HEATED POOL. We are offering CRAZY FAST internet (200mbps) . The restaurants/beaches are fully open and operational and all is quiet on our little street now with construction around us done!
POOL IS HEATED NOVEMBER-APRIL: however, if you want to heat the pool outside of those dates, not a problem - just know it's a $50/day extra fee.
We own both Pura Playa and Pura Sol - identical homes next door to each other- perfect for large, extended families and friends. If this home is booked, check out the other.
Expectations - we expect you to have a great time... You should expect some sand in the pool (you are at the beach!), some wear and tear on our golf cart (you are at the beach!) and a clean vacation rental! We are alway around to help you enjoy your stay, so just let us know if can!

This beach house was a blast! The heated pool was a daily must (and nightly too), and the golf cart made getting to the beach and around town easy and fun. The house was comfy, clean, and had everything we needed. Zero stress, maximum vacation vibes. We’d book it again in a heartbeat!
We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The heated pool and spacious outdoor area were highlights—perfect for lounging, meals, and evenings together. Having a golf cart included was a huge bonus and made getting around so easy. The location is absolutely perfect, with convenient beach access and everything close by. The hosts were responsive and thoughtful, making the entire experience seamless. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.
Had the BEST time, not far from the beach. The golf cart was broke so they rented us one. Very easy to work with. WILL stay again! Came with ping pong table and pool/beach chairs and toys.
Our stay was overall very nice. The pool was perfect for us!! Will definitely be back. Also good location. Quiet area with the right amount of traffic. Loved it.
We had a wonderful time here. The location of the house makes easy access to the beach and to town. The golf cart was really nice to have and the pool was amazing.
Our stay was perfect! The check in process was easy and Leslie was always quick to respond to any questions. The golf cart and pool were a huge plus! Our family had the perfect stay and cant wait to book again!
Internet was out when we arrived but prop manager was super responsive and it was restored quickly. Everything was great. Nice quiet location!!! Private pool was awesome!!
We stayed here over Memorial Day weekend and had a fantastic time. The home was clean and comfortable. The included golf cart was great for heading to the beach. The kids didn't want to leave. All communication with the host was prompt and helpful. We would readily stay here again.
Our family enjoyed a week stay! The location is perfect on the island, and we really enjoyed carting around with the golf cart. The pool was great! The house was clean and very comfortable! Any questions that we had were promptly answered! We will definitely be back! Thank you!
This was perfect for our two families! Great and easy location, the golf cart was a HUGE bonus, and the pool was perfect for after beach, after dinner fun!
The pool was very clean and overall amazing. Some of the tv’s listed and amenities inside were not working and the remotes were locked onto the nightstand which was kind of weird. The cookware is scratched up and outdated. The community is very nice, the owner was very easy to work with and made sure we had a working golf cart when we arrived. It’s not coastal elegance but for the price with a private pool, nice owner and golf cart included made for a memorable family vacation. We would stay again!!
Came to town for a family trip, so close to the beach. The golf cart was convenient to have and fun for the kiddos. House was clean, pool area was large. Would definitely stay here again.
We throughly enjoyed our stay! House was perfect size for my family. The location was great. Close to beach and a plus having the pool too!
Leslie was extremely responsive. I would definitely recommend staying here!

About the host
Hosted by Leslie
Hi - I'm Leslie, and with my husband Jeremiah, we recently purchased Pura Playa as our second home in Port A. We are 5th generation Texans (I'm from Carrizo Springs, he's from Sterling City), who for the past 25 years have lived in Round Rock.
Our family has been coming to Port A for years - I came when I was a little girl (don't ask the year). When we had our children, we would summer here in a cramped, rusty but awesome travel trailer. We helped clean up our neighbors homes after Harvey. This town, and the Texas Coast, is our home away from home!
My husband is an avid fisherman and can help you with the hotspots, too! He loves to fish Redfish Bay, Aransas Bay, and all the way down to the Land Cut (he told me to write this).
I love to head down to the beach right at daybreak for some quiet time. In the evenings, at least once per trip, is a a family tradition of "shark in the dark!"
There's nothing better than an evening with those who you love while feeling the ocean breeze.
I hope you enjoy our home, and please let me know if you have any questions!
