Gulf Breezes Unit B

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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.

LIVING AREAS

The unit has a large open living space with cool tiled floors and plenty of space to unwind. Furnishings include a comfy sectional, a full-size futon, and a flat-screen TV made for movie nights.

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.

A large wraparound deck with outdoor seating offers views toward the glittering Gulf of Mexico.

EXTRA AMENITIES & MORE DETAILS

Guest amenities include complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and a shared laundry room on the ground floor.

THE LOCATION

Walk to the beach or Horace Caldwell fishing pier, both just a block from your door. Start the morning by fishing or relaxing beside the rolling waves of the Gulf of Mexico. Your rental is also just minutes away from the rock jetties and the University of Texas, Marine Science Institute.

Feeling active? Hit the fairways at Palmilla Beach Golf Club, or enjoy hiking and birdwatching in Port Aransas Nature Preserve -- both within a 10-minute drive.

The boutiques of downtown are just a 10-minute walk, and you’re also a 2-minute drive from a host of great local eateries.

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!.

Perfect for Pup’s First Beach Vaca
Loved the location, private fenced in yard with pool and no neighbors to speak of. Minor sound from construction going on but honestly not a problem. The beach was a block away and it was a short walk. So much so that I forgot the sunscreen and quickly walked back to grab it and was back on the beach in 15 minutes round trip. The home was clean as pictured. Master bedroom was spacious and had plenty of places to put luggage but no hangers. Water pressure in master shower was amazing. Hallway bathroom faucet had very low pressure so my quest kept using my bathroom to brush teeth and wash their face. Loved that the place had a spacious dining table, huge sofa and tons of games. Our puppy 9months old did very well with the gated downstairs pool and yard area. The dog also enjoyed being on the private patio in the morning as we watched the waves and scenery with our morning coffee. I will stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay with your dog or kids!

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

Walk to the beach in 3 min, cool off in the pool afterward. Would recommend the A unit so elephants don't stomp around above you at 6am. We really enjoyed the B unit a lot until the elephants woke up in unit A at 6am on Saturday and Sunday.

We had never stayed this far down the island. We loved it! It was nice being so close to town and the Pier. Next time, we will try and reserve Unit A... The views from that deck was even better! A lovely home... very comfortable.

Clean and convenient
The property was very clean when we arrived. We really appreciate that! Being so close to the beach was amazing for the kids. The pool was also great! The only cons that I could mention about this property: - The view of the ocean is obstructed by a large hotel. - The pans, which were non-stick, had a lot of scrapes and scratches and some rust. We had every intention of cooking for our entire stay, but ended up eating out so that we didn't have to deal with that potential poison. Please replace these more often. - One roll of paper towels for 8 people on a 4 night/5 day stay... Isn't enough. It would be nice to. I generally wouldn't list any of these items as cons, and they certainly aren't show stoppers for us. However, for the price, I thought I should mention these small inconveniences. We will likely be back on our next stay in Port A!

Great Port A location!
Most everything was great. The location is awesome. Literally 1.5 - 2 blocks walk to beach & with a pool & fenced in backyard. Pool chilly as still early in season & Texas sun hasn't wamed it up quite yet. It is also super close to grocery, seafood market, restaurants, etc.! The home is a great layout & spacious. Internet & cable was great. Mostly well equipped. The items we were lacking were kitchen towels- there was only one! But plenty of bath linens. Much better selection of kitchen utensils, dishes, & pots than I have had in other rentals. There is a weirdness with the oven ...if you don't have the vent fan on, it sets off smoke alarm. But, there was a note about that so it is a known issue. The garbage disposal is also an issue, but we got help with that through management company, as well as a quickly fixed issue with one of the toilets. Management was very responsive. The only other callout is that with another unit above, our place was the recipient of a lot of noise from above. This was something I saw in prior reviews, so was expecting it. We were mostly able to laugh & ignore, but if you are super sensitive to that kind of thing, you may not want to stay here. All in all, it was a great place to settle down in, close to the beach. We would definitely stay there again!

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!

Close to beach and restaurants
Location was nice. It was a comfortable space to stay for the week. There are a few things that would enhance and make the place feel a little nicer/better, in my opinion: *New refrigerator (it’s old-dented and the light doesn’t come on when you open it-feels not so clean and old. *more bath and hand towels-we needed more for the time we were there. *basics to be there-like-dishwasher tabs, laundry soap, extra paper towels, extra toilet tissue. *extra/better sleeping pillows *small shampoos and conditioners for both bathrooms (there was one in the master) stepdaughter forgot hers-so it would have been nice. *a few beach towels for the beach These are just my thoughts, as a mother and interior designer-to help make the stay feel a little more comfortable and well equipped. Overall the place was good. Thank you!! Kindly Amy

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.

This property was perfect for us. It was convenient to the beach by which I mean an easy stroll, not a short drive. The property has views of the Gulf, a wonderful deck, a small grassy , well-fenced yard with a pool and easy access to restaurants. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped, the beds comfortable and the place impeccably clean.
