Christiana 504-458-3515 or Joe 504-451-6061 (he works most nights so if it's late its ok.) Our house is in the perfect location for a great Port Aransas vacation. One block from Iries (I think the best restaurant in town) and from the main drag, one block from the grocery, liquor store and souvenir shops. We provide a 6 seater golf cart with a beach parking pass so your car doesn't have to get sandy and being so close to everything means you can walk to many of restaurants and attractions if everyone wants to go in different directions.

Port A Home w/Pool!

This property is in central Port A with easy access to the grocery store, liquor store, shopping, the best candy shop and beach access! We utilized both golf carts since we were a party of 7. Worth the extra expense! The pool and large backyard was great for our kids! We will for sure come back next time we visit Port Aransas! Will say it was hard to get a response from owner when messaging thru VRBO, but texting was super quick response time and no issues reaching the owners. Thank you!

Family Vacation

I traveled here to meet my adult children and their families. Plenty of space, and lots of cool spots to gather and have a good time. With all of the grandkids, it was nice to have a pool to ourselves. We had a great time and comfortable stay!

Our guests really love using our new 6 seater golf cart when cruising around town or to the beach. 15 min Walk to the beach, but just a few min walk from restaurants and shops.
