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.

Perfect location for calm and relaxing vacation. Close to the beach. Wonderful deck and pool area. House was clean, beds were comfortable, set up nicely for pets. Our first trip with two of our young dogs and it was so easy and safe.

We loved it! Nothing negative for us, it was a great stay. Deck, pool, location and amenities were all perfect. I never found the laundry area but didn’t need it anyway. We would definitely stay again!

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.

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

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.

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 house was PERFECT and stocked with anything and everything you need. My only complaint is the day we got there our kitchen sink was leaking we called it in and were told someone ours be there within an hour we then got a text saying it would be 2 hours, no big deal... 3 hours went by and we had heard nothing I had to continue following up with them and finally at 9:30pm a handyman showed up! The communication was very poor! Overall stay was great!

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!

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!

A nice getaway
We had a nice time. The house is just as described. It was clean and well stocked. There was oil, salt, spices and foil. There was even soap and shampoo (a nice touch). They have obviously done some upgrading, but it need some maintenance. The futon old and uncomfortable to sit on. There is no garbage disposal. There is one under the sink but not installed. The biggest issue is the noise from upstairs. Dogs and children running around is very loud. I did not contact the manager since I can’t blame the children, dogs or family; I believe it is a construction issue. We will stay again but rent unit A.

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!

Duplex review
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of the duplex is great. It is a short walk from the beach. I was very excited about the pool. The pool is shared with the people in the top/bottom of the duplex, which can be good or bad. The backyard was great size and wonderful. The only thing about the back yard is that it backs up to a parking lot and huge condominiums. Inside was well equipped with many kitchen tools. This was amazing and helpful. The living room was very spacious. The leather couch in the living room was peeling and didn't look very pleasant. I wouldn't plan on anyone sleeping on it.

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>

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!.

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.

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.
