The ultimate location for beach lovers! A Shore Thing has been completely remodeled, is set right on the beach, and boasts direct gulf views. Steps from your door, you can take a splash in the water and dig your toes into powder-soft sand. A large living, dining and kitchen area offers a fabulous entertaining space. While outdoors, a wraparound deck overlooking the surf is perfect for sundowners before dinner. Find the best of Port Aransas on your doorstep - the house is just a short drive from shops, restaurants, golf courses, fishing, nature trails, and in-town activities.

The spacious living area offers direct gulf views, with stylish wooden floors and coastal-inspired decor throughout. Gaze across the waves from the comfy sectional or two matching armchairs. In the evenings, host a movie night on the 55-inch TV. The large and open kitchen makes it easy for the chef to cook and chat with your group. Dish up meals at a wooden dining table. Extra perks include complimentary WiFi, cable TV, and a washer/dryer.

Prepared to be wowed by the gulf-front views from your wraparound deck. There’s seating for seven to relax in the sun and watch the rolling surf. After hitting the beach, rinse off at the convenient outdoor shower. Then sizzle seafood and veggies on the barbecue grill.

This unbeatable beachfront setting is just 65 steps from a golden strip of sand and the Gulf of Mexico. Spend the lazy days sprawled beside the waves and enjoying lazy coastal strolls. The house is just a few minutes’ drive to local shops, restaurants, golf courses, and in-town activities. While just 2.5 miles away, nature lovers can spot abundant wildlife, including alligators, fish, and an incredible array of birdlife at Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center.

This was our first time staying at this beach house; and we were very pleased! The view is amazing. The interior was very nice and clean, & more spacious than we expected. The side door could use a tad bit of work, but other than that, we had zero complaints! The prices were very good. We will definitely be back. This is our new favorite place.

You better have a four wheel drive vehicle

There were major problems with electrical and 10 inches of sand in the driveway. The managers felt it was typical of being at the beach and would not reply to texts. We ended up having to call the safety hotline about 5 times. They were going to cut off our power for four hours to fix the issue and expected us to find a place to go since no ac. The sand they told us it was worse the weekend before us. They told us to enjoy the view. We luckily had a four wheel drive and we learned quickly how to use it. When the managers disagree with what you think is safe, they simply ignore you. It was pathetic. We felt we were on our own to deal with whatever they thought was standard. Clearly we felt ignored. The microwave was very clean and nice.

Mildew smell in bunk room when

The cleaning people did a splendid job preparing the place for us! The view from the rental and the beach assess were both excellent. However, the rental itself needs attention. Many appliances, beds, kitchen wear, furnishings, etc. need to be better maintained or even replace. Also, the kid's bunk is room smelt like mildew when it rained. It was strong enough that our kids ended up sleeping on the floor in another room and didn't use the bunk room for the remainder our stay. We still had a fantastic family vacation because things like this aren't a huge deal to us. But we thought we should recommend maintaining the rental better for a more comfortable stay.

The location is hard to beat!

We really enjoyed our stay and the location is hard to beat! We came to Port Aransas for Spring Break with our 4 young kids and had a great time! The house is literally situated ON the beach, so the fact that we could just walk outside and be on the ocean was wonderful. The house does come with a variety of amenities, including a regular drip coffee machine, a Keurig, a blender, and a toaster (I didn’t see these things listed on the site and was wondering about them). The only downside was the kitchen amenities, particularly the microwave, stovetop, and oven, as well as the dryer. They’re all pretty outdated. The washer was new, but we had to put the dryer on a 60-minute cycle twice on high heat for each load to get it to dry all the way. Additionally, the hot water tank must be on the smaller side because it seemed to run out when we all took showers at the same time. Other than that, our stay was great and we’ll definitely return for another trip!

Second visit to this house

just a few things, upon arrival the front door was not all the way closed, dishwasher would not work and had dirty dishes in it, the film on the front storm door was torn, could have been cleaner. But, all in all, I was there about 10 years ago and I will come again, I enjoy this property and the closeness to the waters edge. We had a great time!!!!!!

Wonderful home, incredible location

The home was beautiful and clean. I would stay again in a heartbeat. Attempts to contact the property manager went unanswered when coffee pot was not working. It wasn’t a make or break for our trip but, if something like a plumbing issues had happened I’m not sure what we would have done. Great home, not so great property management.

Went back for more fun!

We loved the location of the property after our first visit Winter Break 2020 that we decided to go back again for Winter break 2021. Perfect little beach getaway for our family - love the conveniences of the home (laundry, ease of beach access, lots of delicious resturants near by). Only complaints are the storm shutters were not all tied down (some of the straps were broken) and therefore very noisy on windy nights.
