About this property
Crustacean Station- Private Pool - Cart Discount
CRUSTACEAN STATION
PRIME LOCATION - PRIVATE POOL (Heated for free Nov-March)
4 bedroom 3 bath vacation rental located in the heart of Port Aransas 3/4 mile to the beach. Spacious, well equipped kitchen with granite counters, lots of cabinets and storage, open to living and dining area with high ceilings. Tile flooring throughout. Big front porch to enjoy the sun and sea breeze.
2 master bedrooms and baths with King beds. Third bedroom with King bed and shares a bath with the fourth bedroom equipped as a bunk room with 3 bunk beds.
Large gas grill and shrimp boil burner and pot are here too!
Easy golf cart access to town and the beach.
Half-price cart rental!! ($95 per day collected on the check-in day.)
Rates quoted are for up to 8 guests. Accurate guest counts must be provided so that we can provide sufficient towels and linens and supplies. Additional guests are $25 per stay. Additional guest fees are charged on the check-in date. NOTE: The top bunks are for children less than 100 lbs. only. This house is ideally suited for 3 adults couples and some children therefor we recommend no more than 6 adults in the house.
All outdoor areas are covered by security cameras and record any time motion is detected.
Golf Cart usage is subject to terms and conditions that are in the home rental agreement. You must complete the home rental agreement (which includes the provisions for the golf cart) including full contact details and you must text any operator's driver's license and proof of insurance to us before they operate our cart. Golf cart access and operating instructions will be provided the day of your arrival.
Gas grills are provided. Some properties have propane grills, and the boiling pots only use propane. We leave a couple propane tanks at the house for the grill and boiling pot burner, but there is no practical way to keep them filled, so propane is not guaranteed. Like most properties on the island, we employ the honor system, as we do not and can not monitor them. If you drew the short straw and the gas runs low or out on you, take the cylinder and pay an exchange at IGA, CVS, Ace, or Stripes. It should be around $25.
Grill cleaning is guest responsibility. If you use any of the outdoor cooking equipment, it needs to be cleaned and the drip pans emptied and ready for the next guest. We do not and can not clean the grills and boiling pots between guests. Please use paper towels and the metal grill brushes to clean the grills, not our linens or our pool cleaning equipment. If you leave the grill or boiling pot dirty for the next guest you will be charged per the rental agreement. If you check in and find the grill dirty send us pictures and we will send you $25. NOTE: Dirty is excessive food particles or full grease catch pans or actual food left in the boiling pot, not a little grease residue or a little rust on the grill or grates.
We heat the pool Nov 1 to Mar 31 to 90 degrees. Heating to higher temperatures and other times can be arranged for a fee. The pools are serviced twice a week and will require occasional closures to allow chemicals to dissipate. This is usually no more than a couple hours.The pool is cleaned on Tuesdays and Fridays and tested for proper and safe chemicals. Sometimes the water isn’t perfectly clear but that does not mean it is unsafe to use. There may be occasional algae growth on the pool walls or steps, or debris or sand blowing in from the beach and landscaping. These do not constitute the pool being dirty. Skimmers and brushes are provided if Guest wants to remove them between regularly scheduled cleanings. Please do not let your children use play with these. Our pool service company will notify you if the pool is unsafe to use. There are no refunds for occasional pool closures for cleaning, repairs or maintenance, “cloudy” water, if pool temperature is undesirable, or other minor issues with the pool.
Rates quoted are for up to 8 guests per home. No more than 12 guests may be in each of our homes at any time. Guests in excess of 8 total per home are charged at $25 per night per guest upon check-in. Accurate guest counts must be provided so that we can provide sufficient towels and linens and supplies.
This house is ideally suited for 3 adults couples and some children therefor we recommend no more than 8 adults in the house if the party is adults only, or no more than 6 adults if there are children coming.
The top bunks are for children less than 100 lbs. only.

About the host
Hosted by Thomas Mangold & Azita Bayat
We have owned properties in Port Aransas since 2004 and enjoy sharing our homes with our repeat customers and new guest as well.
We love sharing our cool houses with people and sharing the fun vibrant area of Port A!
We love sharing our cool houses with people and sharing the fun vibrant area of Port A!
Why they chose this property
The best part about Port A is the location to everything! The grocery store, 25 restaurants, 12 bars, the beach, the dock, the ferry, the shopping, EVERYTHING is a couple minute golf cart ride away. We wanted to stay in the city and as close to everything as possible to provide our guest with that same experience. It is so cool to drive to the beach for an hour, come take a quick outdoor shower and jump in the pool while you grill lunch. Have everything at quick access so when one person gets tired they have a place to retreat and not be a party pooper. Lots of games and books to keep you busy if the weather is crummy. The kitchen is outfitted with everything you could possibly need to make meal after meal to save some money while at the beach.
What makes this property unique
The 6 Passenger Golf Cart is a must in Port A! They are all registered with the city and are powered by super unleaded gasoline. The golf cart has seat belts and a beach pass and is available with our home rental for $95 per night.
The heated pool- Welcome to Texas where the weather is 96 on one day and 46 the next! You never know what you are going to get unless it is summer than you can ALWAYS expect HOT, HOT, HOT! The same is for the island... don't ruin your vacation by not having a heated pool! See rates section for fees for heating the pool.
