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.

My husband and I just wanted to get away for a few days.This cottage is adorable and perfect for a nice relaxing get a way. The decor was so cute and cozy. You can tell the hosts take very good care of the property as everything was well maintained. The cottage was spotless. It had everything you could think of. The communication with the host was very timely. The pool was perfect. We will definitely visit again.

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.

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.
