Relax with beautiful, unobstructed views of the rock jetties and listen to the Gulf breezes from this two-bedroom home - part of a split-level duplex in Port Aransas that combines two separate properties. Lounge on a wraparound deck while you watch ships pass by, or take a dip in the shared pool.

Spend the day relaxing on the shores of IB Magee Beach Park or fishing off Horace Caldwell -- both just steps from your door. Ready for a day of exploration? This prime location puts you close to downtown boutiques, local restaurants, pristine golf courses, and sprawling nature preserves.

This unit has its own spacious living, kitchen, and dining area and offers combined sleeping space for up to 8 guests.

KITCHEN & DINING

Whip up simple lunches and hearty meals for your group in the kitchen. A contemporary, open kitchen is outfitted with a full range of appliances and a casual breakfast bar.

After a day of adventure, sit down for meals at the beachy dining table that seats six.

BEDROOMS & BATHS

The unit has two light-filled bedrooms.

The master bedroom is outfitted with a plush king bed, a flat-screen TV, and an en-suite bathroom with a tub/shower combination.

Comfort awaits in a welcoming guest bedroom, furnished with a queen bed, a twin-over-full bunk bed, and a flat-screen TV. Each bedroom has its own balcony that overlooks the town.

A convenient guest bathroom boasts a large vanity area and a walk-in shower.

OUTDOOR AREAS

Make a splash in the pool shared between the two units. A fenced yard surrounded by palm trees offers secluded privacy. Beneath the home, enjoy the shade around covered picnic tables and sizzle steaks on either the shared gas grill.

Close In and Comfortable

This was our third stay at the property and we have enjoyed it each time. It is clean, comfortable for two couples and a child, dog friendly and close to the beach. I love that we can see the water from the deck and that the yard is carefully fenced and carpeted in St. Augustine without the plague of grass burrs, thus good for children’s small feet and furry dogs.The kitchen is well equipped and there is even a decent array of spices. It’s a great place to stay.

This rental was perfect for us. First it is pet friendly. It is fenced and if you travel with your dog he will be secure as soon as you enter the property.Second, it if hard to fine a property with direct access to the beach. This rental is about fifty yards from the beach. It is near the pier and you can sit on the deck and watch ships arriving. If I ever return to Port A, I will stay here again.

Great Weekend!

We very much enjoyed Unit B and our weekend vacay. The house had everything and more that we needed. Even though we never had time to use the pool, it was beautiful and sparkling clean! Great convenient location to the beach and downtown. Rental pricing for this unit was much more reasonable than other places we have rented at Port A. Will definitely stay here again!.

Best Beach House ever

Can’t say enough about how perfect this place was. The house has everything you need to have a family weekend kitchen stocked with everything you need to cook. And awesome long bench table to seat everyone. And of your vacationing with a pet it’s perfect. Everything gated and fenced backyard. The location can’t be beat a short walk to the Beach and pier and downtown restaurants. I met the owners super nice. Thanks for sharing your home

2nd visit

This is our 2nd stay at Gulf Breezes. We love the pool and closeness to the beach. I do wish they would allow early checkin when rental is ready to go. We did have an issue with the property being cleaned, but a manager called us back immediately and resolved the situation. We will stay again, hopefully with early check in next time.

Like being home !

This home had all the amenities of home. Including an air fryer for my leftover shrimp! Everything I needed was supplied. Owners really make sure that whatever you need, you can find. They had games, DVD’s and TV’s in every room. The pool was great! It is a perfect place for a dog since there are several gates and yard. It is quiet and close to everything. I will return here! I hope it’s always available when I come back because I don’t want to stay anywhere else.

Port A getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Having never been to Port Aransas it was a fun little town. You could see they are still rebuilding after the hurricane but did not affect us. Lots of places to eat and shop and of course the beach. Place had a pool but not heated or cleaned in the winter months which was a bummer but over all a good place and not crowded this time of the year when we went the end of January.

Port Aransas

Loved the location of the house, roomy and well furnished with what we needed. Disappointed that the pool could not be heated so therefore it was not used and they must not service it in the winter months. Windows need to be washed and spray for bugs as I found a few dead and alive ones. Management company was quick with response and friendly. Lots of rebuilding all around Port Aransas but a cool place to visit.

Chillaxin rental

We loved the property. Great deck. Beautiful accommodations. Quick walk to the beach. Nice pool. But, we did not like having to check out at 10 am on Sunday. Didn’t make sense to us when a hotel checkout if 11 or noon. Also, we requested someone to come out and check to see if there was a rollaway bed available, no one showed when we were told they FYI, hot water in kitchen sink doesn’t work consistently.

Excellent vacation home

So close to the ocean. Great pool that is fully shaded in the afternoons. Had basically everything we could have needed. Even the little things such as matches, paper goods, and cookware. We really enjoyed our week long stay. The only dice roll with this property is who you may have for neighbors. Sharing the pool can be difficult at times. Especially if they are inviting other people over who are not staying at the house. Not sure what could be done to help ensure that situation is avoided in the future. Over all we loved our stay and do plan to re stay at this property on our next visit.

This was not only a wonderful property, but the management team made everything great. When we reached out with questions, the response from the team was immediate and helpful. If the didn’t have the answer right away, they let us know they were following up and did so quickly. The location of the house was great with easy access to the beach and restaurants. The house was very clean and as described. One thing to note, this is a duplex lower unit. You can hear the people in the upper unit walking around. Overall great place to stay, we would definitely return.

The communication was very poor! Overall stay was great!

Great view of the Gulf.

If you like to see the gulf and watch the ships go by this is the spot for you. We stayed on the lower floor and the views from there are great. The way they manage the keys in unique so have your instructions handy when you enter the first time. If there are people upstairs in the other unit during your stay you will here them at night but it wasn't a big problem. If we go back we will take a fan to help mask the footsteps at night. We used the kitchen twice and I was glad that I brought one of my pans. The plates and glasses are fine. It is very close to the beach with great views. We will probably rent this unit again in the future>

Very clean, nice beach house

The house was in a great place, a short walk to the beach. The pool (not heated) was clean and had pool toys and floats available. We got some pretty crappy weather but we were comfortable in the house and had netflix and plenty of board games and a couple of hand held games I hadn't seen in a while! We had a great time and I would definitely visit (when it's warmer!) and recommend this house to others looking. the only problem-- we had trouble opening and locking the door. For some reason the lock wasn't engaging and we had to try multiple times and turn the lock many times. I called the company to let them know. Other than that, no problems!
