Southern Cross brings together the best of Port Aransas living: beach access, breezy interiors, a private plunge pool, and relaxed outdoor spaces made for sunny days and easy nights. With 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and golf cart-friendly boardwalk access to the sand, this coastal retreat is built for families and groups who want comfort, convenience, and plenty of room to unwind.

The outdoor space is the star of the stay. Cool off in the private plunge pool, gather around the firepit for breezy evenings, or fire up the grill for laid-back cookouts after the beach. Multiple balconies and decks give guests even more room to spread out, sip coffee, catch sunset colors, and enjoy the easygoing coastal atmosphere.
