Welcome to “Port A Tropical Hideaway”, a beautiful vacation home composed of two homes and an apartment. With 7 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, these two-story homes can accommodate up to 22 guests. This rental gem is the ultimate getaway for family and friends with apartment, game room, tiki bar, and a fire pit. Guests will love the six different patios and decks included to allow guests to relax and enjoy the space.
Located less than a mile from the beach and the marina, this “Old Town” prime location just off Allister and Cotter access roads lets you explore some of the best Port A attractions has to offer. The property is also within walking distance of some of the area's most sought after restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, music venues, nightlife, art galleries and great shopping. There’s no need to worry about transportation if you’d rather leave the golf carts or vehicles behind.

The city of Port Aransas offers a heated community pool, skate park, basketball courts, baseball fields, playground and beautiful park on the ship channel to watch the dolphins in the evening, all a short drive away.

The backyard and front yard are lovely outdoor spaces with lush landscaping, oak trees, palm trees, and high privacy fences to enjoy. The “Port A Tropical Hideaway” owners have thought of all the details to ensure guests have the best possible experience in the property.

Don't forget the game room with a real Tiki Bar and seating for 7, mini fridge, pool table, commercial foosball table, TV and high bar table with seating for two to watch all the fun.

The main home entry on the upper floor leads to a spacious living room with two oversized sofas, wingback chairs, and a flat-screen TV mounted over the electric fireplace. The kitchen island has four bar chairs and a separate dining area for six. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare delicious meals and entertain a large group. With an open-concept layout, creating an inviting space for everyone to gather, chat, laugh, and make lasting memories.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms: a king master with a full bath and a king guest room, each with TVs. The sunroom, which is located off the kitchen, has an extra-long twin daybed with standard twin trundle bunk bed. In addition to the bathroom off the master bedroom, there is one other full bathroom in the hallway.

The downstairs apartment is accessible from the front of the home or from the back of the home going into the game room. The apartment has a small living area with a futon sofa, side table, coffee table, a flat-screen TV, and kitchenette with breakfast area seating for four. The kitchenette has a full-size refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, blender, toaster, griddle, electric skillet and kitchenette supplies.

Downstairs, you will find three bedrooms: a twin-over-full bunk bed in the bedroom located off the game room and a full bath, queen bed off the kitchen/breakfast area, and a full-over-full bunk bed located near the front entry. There is another full bathroom off the living space and two additional full-size futons for extra sleeping space located in the full-over-full bedroom and living area.

Great location and house layout!
Had a great time in Port A, we loved that we could walk to the docks from the house. The different levels of the combined VRBO listings was great for our group of 8, everyone had their own bedroom! The game area with the tiki bar was neat though I think the pool table could use an upgrade. No matter we still had fun! The AC worked great and we used the fire pit and grill while we were there. Would stay here again for sure!

Wonderful vacation home!!
Perfect Stay! This house had everything we needed and more! It was perfect for our multiple families and friends. There is plenty of space for everyone to have their own privacy, yet still remain cozy enough, when we all wanted to be together. The homes are beautifully decorated, clean and have everything you need and more. The game room was so much fun to enjoy with foosball, a pool table and a tiki bar. There was something for the kids and adults. The location couldn’t have been better being close to the marina, beach, coffee shopping and great restaurants, so everyone had plenty of places close to go on foot or in the golf carts. We also enjoyed the two private yards. We definitely will be back!

Perfect for a large stay.
There are actually 3 sections of homes. It's a perfect stay for a large family and or friends. Perfect location, walking distance to pretty much everything. Bedding was very comfy, the house was clean, (which a a huge, huge deal for me). The only reason I gave an overall 4 stars is because the master bedroom and master bath in the upstairs to the right had a sewer smell to it. I do know that they are doing some work. But who goes to Port A and stays in their bedroom all day. We would definitely stay here again!
