Heated Private Pool, Pet Friendly, Golf Cart Access

SD624: A Blue Buoy:
2BR / 1.5 BA / 8 guests / Private heated or chilled pool / Pet friendly / Golf Cart accessible / Boat and Trailer parking

Blue Buoy is a freshly decorated, coastal-chic A-Frame retreat nestled in the laid-back Leeward Sands neighborhood of Port Aransas. Just a quick 3-minute golf cart ride to the beach, shops, and local restaurants, this pet-friendly getaway (with a fully enclosed yard) is perfect for a relaxed coastal escape.
Sleeping up to 8 guests, the home features one king bedroom, one queen bedroom with a twin trundle, a sleeper sofa, and a sleeper chair—ideal for families or groups. Step outside to your private custom pool complete with a tanning ledge, heater for year-round enjoyment, and a chiller to keep things cool during the summer months—perfect for anglers and non-anglers alike.
Unwind on the wraparound deck or the shaded patio, equipped with a charcoal grill for BBQs or post-fishing meals. Inside, the cozy living room offers comfortable seating with a sleeper sofa and armchairs, plus a large Smart TV for streaming your favorite services or enjoying 100+ channels through our provider.
The recently remodeled kitchen features trendy subway tile, seating for four, easy deck access, and a dedicated coffee bar with both a Keurig and a drip coffee maker. No dishwasher—just classic beach-house charm. A convenient half bath is located just off the living area.
Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms at the top of the wood-treaded stairs, including one overlooking the private pool. Each bedroom offers a wall-mounted Smart TV with our service provider and spacious closets. A shared full bathroom with a tiled tub/shower is located between the bedrooms. A washer and dryer are available on the ground level in the enclosed storage area.
For the full Port A experience, rent a golf cart from Life in Paradise and explore with ease—everything you need is just minutes away. Blue Buoy is a custom beach home that truly checks every box for a fun-filled Gulf Coast getaway.

Place was a little run down, but clean. Pool was also clean and the kids loved it! Good location away from the crazy, but still close enough to get around in a golf cart. We had a good time, no major complaints.

Couldn’t find light switches easily. Stairways not well lit…lots of bulbs out. Pool was fantastic. Very clean. Furniture very vintage but mostly comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. Very quiet and not too far from beach. It was nice.

50th Anniversary celebration

Was a fantastic weekend stay! Pool was excellent as in law’s can’t stay out in the sun too long! So went to beach for couple of hours and the rest of the day we spent at pool! Part of the pool is under the top deck of the house! This provided shade if one needed to get out of the sun, but you can still be in the pool!

Stay

A good but older property. The second floor was not level in one corner. I would think that should be addressed. The stairs to the second floor are extremely narrow and hazardous. There is a warning sign on the main floor. Not a good choice for seniors.

Easter Family Vacation

We enjoyed a weekend in Port Aransas and stayed at this charming beach house. The kitchen and bathrooms were clean. Living room and bedrooms were cozy. It was convenient having access to the pool. The weather was warm, but not hot enough to warm the pool water. The neighborhood was quiet and folks in the area did a polite wave as we passed by. The best part was renting a go-cart. Recommend renting a cart in advance, with the holiday weekend we secured one by luck! We would like to make another trip out. I recommend this place for your stay.

Lovely home

The property was a great place to get away for the weekend. Our teen daughter was having so much fun in the pool that she didn’t even care about the beach. We chose this property because of the pool and pets policy. It was spotless, no signs of past pets. As clean as it was, it did smell like mold in the entry but I just chalk that up to the climate there. The only other thing I would like to mention is a soft spot on the floor of the kitchen. I would not hesitate to book again!

Nice stay overall, with a few minor problems

Nice house...very well kept, but had trouble the whole time with the wifi. Also had trouble with the lighting by the pool. There isnt a switch, only a plug that we found hidden behind a chair at the upper deck. Even at that, it was only half the lighting. No major problems though...would go back for the price.

Needs work

The house was perfect for the 3 of us, but definitely needs some work. We did not have hot water during our stay because the hot water heater was not hooked up. Also, this is a pet friendly property, but there is NO grass in the backyard. Not a deal breaker, but my dogs would have preferred at least a small patch of grass.

My family can’t wait to get back to Blue Buoy

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’m worried that if I tell everyone how terrific Blue Buoy is, I might not be able to get a reservation next time. Blue Buoy is adorable. We found the place well stocked, clean, and cozy. The porch, small pool and balcony were highlights and we enjoyed a lot of time poolside. This place was even cuter than the pictures show. My only note of caution would be to mention that the stairs up to the bedrooms are short narrow and should be approached with caution. Overall we loved it, the kids, dogs and I can’t wait to return.
