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

THE LOCATION

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.

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.

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!
