Perched just steps from the Dune Pool and private beach crossover, this beautifully designed coastal retreat lives up to its Spanish name, meaning “Nest on the Beach.” Gulf views from the balconies set the scene for relaxation, while the home’s inviting interiors blend charm with modern comfort. The open-concept living area on the second floor is a stylish yet cozy space, complete with a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious dining area, and a welcoming lounge with a coffee bar for effortless entertaining. Sliding shutters on the front porch offer a shaded retreat, while the back balcony provides a grill and views of a charming pocket park—perfect for family fun. Designed for both luxury and convenience, this three-story haven boasts five thoughtfully appointed bedrooms, including a stunning third-floor primary suite with a private balcony and breathtaking Gulf views. Three additional king suites, a bunk room with built-in sleeping spaces, and a twin bedroom offer ample accommodations for large families or groups. Resort-style amenities elevate the experience, with three pools, scenic lakes, a fishing dock, fitness center, and on-site dining options. Whether sipping coffee on the balcony at sunrise, gathering for meals in the coastal-inspired dining space, or strolling to the beach just moments away, every detail ensures a memorable stay in this picture-perfect getaway.

Reviews

We were not sure that the high cost was going to be worth the experience since we have been going to Port Aransas for quite a long time and used to have July 4th at Port Royal over 20 years ago. Even though it was quite crowded as you might expect we had a wonderful experience and the staff is extremely helpful and professional. Absolutely a top level experience and a lot of fun for my entire family of 14! We already reserved for next year!
