About this property

1/1 Cottage in the Dunes! PRIVATE POOL! Dog Friendly! Walk to Beach!

Once upon a time on a natural sand dune in Port Aransas sprung up the most unusual property in this Beach Community, The Dome and Cottage in the Dunes. This quaint, quiet and supremely comfortable beachy cottage shares the pristine pool with the property owner at the Dome house. The owner doesn't use the pool when there are guests at the Cottage so it's yours alone. The Cottage in the Dunes has its own deck overlooking the pool and is elevated from the street by about 20 steps. The landscaping which is both tropical and inviting and will welcome you to this getaway for your weekend, honeymoon, or small family vacation. Be sure and inquire if your group needs to add additional sleeping at our nearby properties.

VRBO does not currently collect city hotel tax for us. We will ask for that and any pet fees prior to check in. We will then make sure you have directions and easy check in procedure.

Include all the new attractions to your Port Aransas visit! A Pirate Ship is now at Deep Sea Headquarters. City of Port Aransas Reg.#25215-1

Spotless with great pool

A great option for couples looking for a spot close to the beach. The house was spotless and had everything that we needed to be comfortable. I was dog-sitting for my daughter, so we were happy that it was pet-friendly. There is a great little fenced in area two doors down from the cottage for your fur babies to stretch their legs. I missed the 2nd payment and was grateful that they tried so hard to remind me and did not cancel my reservation. Great spot!

Quaint cottage by the beach

Very nice vacation spot for a couple. Short walk to the beach. Port A beaches aren’t the best but this rental also had a small pool which is nice for after dinner relaxation. The downside is that the pool area is completely visible to the rental property next door and above us. We visited off season so it wasn’t an issue.

Cottage in the Dunes

Great little place; just right for two people and a small dog. Anne is a wonderful hostess! The cottage has soooo many amenities I didn't expect. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, and everything you need to prepare meals. The pool was clean, the lounge chairs are comfortable, and there were even pool toys! My only quibble is that there is no place on the property for your pet to relieve themself. They do have another property up the street with a fenced lawn that is very nice, but I wish I had known this in advance. And yes, you can walk to the beach but it is quite a hike. However, it only takes two minutes by car and a parking permit is just $12 for the entire year so that was fine. If you are looking for something cozy and cute you will love this place.

Great cottage

The weather did not work out in our favor; however, the accommodations were great!The cottage is cute, plenty of room for a family of 4. The pool was perfect. There are a lot of stairs on the property, so if you have difficulty with mobility, this is not the place for you. The property manager is very communicative and welcoming. Highly recommend this property.

Great Stay for Baby Moon

This property was perfect for our baby moon. An easy walk to the beach, but still on a relatively quiet street. The private pool was a huge plus. We loved that our dogs were able to join! We’re definitely going to try to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Anne Hickman, Property Manager Bee Gee's Coastal Quarters

Host profile image
I was raised in Port Aransas and recently returned to the shore from the hill country. I have also taken over my mother's (BeeGee) Vacation Rental Property Management. I love what I do and I love living in Port Aransas. I enjoy meeting travelers and hope that they continue to return to stay with us year after year. My life's motto is "Carpe Diem !"

Why they chose this property

BeeGee had lived in Port Aransas for 35 years, and was acquainted with the Dome and Cottage property and even visited the construction site when it was being built. In 2007, she purchased the property next door and started her quest to acquire the Dome and Cottage. With luck and hard work, she made that dream a reality this past year after having managed it for the former owner for 4 years. I could not be happier to take over the ownership and management of this lovely property. Anne

What makes this property unique

The Cottage in the Dunes offers one of the few properties in Port Aransas with a private pool and also a short walk to the beach. Our unique cottage feels welcoming and you will know that you have reached a destination you will want to return to time and again!
