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.

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. 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. 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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Gas grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Evidence of smoking or vaping on or in the propert ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Things to do - Heated pool ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,791 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69190000/69189400/69189340/w1344h900x5y0-ff5245db.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Heated Pool /Modern 4BR/4BA House/Easy Walk to Beach & Town Old Town Port Aransas - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 39 reviews CA $292 CA $1,170 total includes taxes & fees Oct 29 - Oct 30 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=69189340&PinnedHotelID=69189340&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/78000000/77996900/77996862/c08f4cfe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Blue Lagoon: NEW Luxury 4BR!

The property was so clean and comfortable. They had so many things provided in the kitchen, for the beach, and even some pantry staples. The beds were comfortable, there was plenty of hot water for lots of showers, and the kitchen appliances were in great working order. The owner was helpful with information and tips prior to our trip and clear about how to manage the pool and golfcart so we could keep them in the nice condition we found them. We had two families with a total of 6 children and we all fit comfortably and found it to be a great home, close to the beach, and well appointed. I would recommend this to others...or keep a secret for ourselves because we will be back! ##### Karen C.

We loved our stay at Sandbar Retreat and Port A (first timers) for Spring Break! We normally go to Florida, this was our first time on the Texas gulf. The home exceeded our expectations. In fact, it is one of the best homes we have ever stayed in and the host, Thomas, is above the "WOW" factor in providing great communication to allow vacationers to enjoy their stay while he takes care of ensuring everything runs smoothly. Sandbar Retreat is very roomy, clean, well-stocked, and in a good location to travel to the beach and around town. We had teen girls with us, and they enjoyed the heated pool. Having the golf cart was an added bonus to get to the beach and around Port A,. On recommendation made by the host, we ate dinner at Fins, it did not disappoint. We only regret not staying a day longer. Highly recommend! ##### Angie B. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cody R.

Each family was able to have their own space. Also, really nice that three bedrooms had KING beds for all the adults. We put the kids in the room with bunk beds. We all had plenty of room. Everything in the house was new and updated. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. We cooked multiple dinners. The pool was a huge bonus. Having the golf cart made getting around fun and easy. The owner communicated well from the minute we booked including up to and during our stay when we had questions. You can tell they take great care of their property. I will recommend this property to anyone and I will surely stay again. ##### Cody R. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Casey W. Mar 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing communication- great hosts! The property is very well stocked with everything you would need. The hosts even leave soap, shampoo and makeup wipes just like a hotel. There are more than enough (very large white) towels for everyone for showers and bathing. They have a nice selection of beach towels. We have stayed at many VBRO properties and this one is at the top for hospitality. The internet was fast enough my husband and I could work, our son played video games and we could still stream on the tv. The pool is much larger than the pictures depict, and as a bonus it was 90 degrees. The pool is clean and you have plenty of privacy from neighbors. We had a couple of questions throughout the stay and the hosts responded immediately. They were kind and very accommodating. The washer and dryer are new (the pictures show older ones) and they are very large and perfect for washing large loads after a visit to the beach. Our family will be back - thank you! ##### Casey W.

Just a few things that could have made it better. We checked in on Friday. The ice maker didn’t work and outlets in all three bathrooms didn’t work. Property manager said he would send someone over Monday to fix it. He gave us the code to the closest so we could get electricity in the bathrooms. There was chewed gum on the bunk room wall. We told him and he said he would send the cleaning company over. He never did. The gum stayed on the wall the entire time we were there. The pool was cold the first two days. We had to message him and he told us he had to recycle it. It was warm the remainder of our stay. It has a Nest thermostat that has previous settings applied. It got up to 75 the first two nights we were there. He said he would log in and reset the thermostat. This took two days. The location was great! Close to beach and town. The golf cart did not have working seat belts or turn signals. The noise was loud on the weekends. ##### Rob B. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith M.

More than enough room for everyone. Home included towels, beach towels, kitchen essentials and everything else you can think of. After day 1 we said we plan on staying here again next summer. The best part was having a golf cart included and huge private pool!!!! ##### Keith M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sylvia D.

The Bunk room was perfect for them and the 3 bedrooms for all the adults are great! We loved the lay out. The pool and outside area was a perfect pool with small children.
