¡Pura Playa! Home, Cart & Private Heated Pool! Dogs ok!

Light-blue 3-bed, 2-bath Port Aransas stilt home for 8 with a private pool heated free November through April, a 6-seat golf cart, and dogs welcome. The beach, groceries, and seafood are about 5 minutes away by cart. YouTube TV, Roku, a full kitchen, 200 Mbps Wi-Fi, plus beach chairs, a wagon, and a cooler ready to go.

More people? Pura Sol, our sister house next door, sleeps 9. Rent both for 17.

The house. Pura Playa is a 2014-built stilt home that sleeps 8. The shaded ground floor is your hangout: private pool, charcoal BBQ pit, cornhole boards, ping-pong table, and a lounge area. Upstairs you'll find a bright, open living room and kitchen with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms:
- Primary bedroom: queen bed and private bathroom
- Second bedroom: queen bed
- Kids' room: bunk bed with a trundle
- Living room: the couch sleeps an 8th guest

Free winter pool heat. Your private pool is heated at no charge November through April, and you control the temperature, so a cold front is no reason to stay dry. Winter Texans and stays of 28+ nights are welcome. Want heat May–October? No problem: it's $50 per night, just ask.

Beach-ready. Beach chairs, an umbrella or canopy, a wagon, a cooler, and sand toys are here for you. Please bring your own beach towels (we don't provide them), and you're welcome to bring your own gear too.

Getting around and parking. A 6-passenger golf cart is included for beach and town runs (licensed, insured drivers 25+). There's parking for 2 cars at the house. A small boat (under 19 ft) can park in front of the house. Longer boats can park along Station Street or in Port Aransas public parking. Self check-in with a keypad. Fast 200 Mbps Wi-Fi.

Dogs welcome, up to 4.

What to expect. Expect a great time, a clean house, a little sand in the pool, and a well-loved golf cart. You're at the beach! We're always around to help during your stay, so just let us know if you need anything.

Sister house next door. We also own Pura Sol right next door. It's a 3-bed, 2-bath home that sleeps 9. Rent both to sleep 17, or check it if your dates are taken here.

Golf cart disclaimer. If you use the golf cart, you accept the risks of doing so. You and your insurance are responsible for any property damage or personal injury. Only licensed, insured drivers age 25+ may drive. Be safe and have fun!

This stay was so much fun! The golf cart on hand was great to have, the heated pool was perfect, and the house itself was cozy and had lots of room. They provided beach chairs and those came in handy! We left our cooler and some pool floats for the next guests to use as a thank u to the owners! Owners were also super nice when we ran into a problem they called us back super quick and got it handled. Would stay again!
