Lost Colony Let The Sea Wash Away The Worries

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Steps to the beach and with dazzling Gulf views, this remodeled 3BR/3BA Port Aransas house is a coastal gem. Relax between a private balcony and a lush communal area with a pool, and drive minutes to golf and coastal trails.

The main entry opens to a common area with access to a garage and laundry area. Stairs lead up to a second-floor living space with an open design that lets you socialize, eat, and cook as a group. Hang out in the living room and watch favorite shows on a flat-screen TV. There’s plenty of seating between a love seat and two couches -- one of which folds out into a queen-size bed. There’s also a queen-size bed in the third bedroom, conveniently located just off the living area.

On your private balcony, a patio table seating four overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. From here, make your way down to the shared pool area for an afternoon dip, or take the boardwalk and stroll steps to the beach.

Indoors, a dining table between the living area and kitchen offers extra seating. The kitchen itself is large and well-stocked, featuring top-of-the-line appliances (including an electric stove/oven, dishwasher, and microwave) and plenty of pots, pans, and dishes to make cooking a cinch.

Recently remodeled, a bathroom is also situated just off this space.

The remaining bedrooms are located upstairs. On the right, a comfortable primary bedroom features a plush king-size bed, cushioned chair, a TV, and access to a brand-new deck. In the mornings, enjoy a relaxing soak in a large en-suite bathroom with a shower/tub combo.

Next door, the guest bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed and an alcove desk area. Getting ready for the day is hassle-free with a shared bathroom nearby offering a walk-in shower.

Pack your swimsuit! You’re just steps away from the sand and the rolling surf along this sun-drenched stretch of coast. Located in the gated, Gulf-front community of Lost Colony with its shared pool and boardwalk to the beach -- this is your ideal vacation location. Head to Mustang State Park (a 2-minute drive) or hit the fairways at Palmilla Beach Golf Club (a 7-minute drive). Hiking and nature trails await in Port Aransas Nature Preserve (14-minute drive from home) and Port A H2O is an easy 10-minute drive for a host of coastal adventures including surfing, kiteboarding, paddleboarding, and boat charters.

The property has a wonderful view of the beach, easy access to the walkway however it needs a lot of maintenance inside and out. Beware of fire ants mounds all around the property. Dishwasher doesn’t clean, fridge temp was warm and took a while to cool off. No bedsheets given for the pull out sofa bed, I would recommend bringing a mattress cover. The shower on main floor does not drain well. AC vents very dusty and not screwed in properly. It was a good find for booking last minute but will not reserve again.

Dirty, no help from hosts

Where do I start? Let’s start on Tuesday 5days before my trip where I contacted the host to inform them about the hurricane in the gulf and how it may affect the trip, never heard back from anyone until Thursday, and that is because I messaged them again. When I spoke to the representative on the phone I was assured my rental was still good and I am to continue my trip as planned with no remorse regarding the safety of my family. I was told I DO NOT get a refund. Come Saturday my destination issued a manadatory evacuation in which I did reach out to hosts AGAIN, and was told the same thing that I am to continue my trip as planned even though I’m telling the representative about the evacuation. I was told that an email or text will go out if something changes. Sunday morning (da of the trip) I reach out again and wait for a response waited hours with no response so I drove to my destination. When I showed up the house was complete disaster!!! Was not cleaned, all bedding was in balls on floor, there was sand throughout the entire rental, dirty dishes in sink, no toilet paper, no paper towels, no clean bedding or clean towels. They didn’t do anything to prep for my family’s visit. I reached out to the host via text and someone apologized for the non cleaning and said someone should contact me right away. Well the next day comes and it’s late afternoon and no one has reached out, no one has come by the property, so I message again. Please contact me ASAP

Perfect private beach rental!

My family loved being steps from the beach and pool, but also away from the hum of Port Aransas. We plan to return to this exact spot.

This place was great. Im already looking at when we can go back. My only complaint is that the seating is quite cramped around the dining table. Definitely need a smaller table but this place was spotless.

Awesome Views and Well Kept Property

We were pleasantly surprised with how well kept the property was and all the kitchen amenities. In all the other places we have stayed the kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of dishes and cooking utensils. The location to the beach were just steps away and very convenient, not to mention the awesome views of the ocean from the decks. We loved the view from the master bedroom.

Great beach getaway

Quick trip to celebrate our Islander student and wanted a place on the beach - this place was perfect - a quick walk across the boardwalk put us on the beach - could see it and hear it from the house. Three bedrooms AND three full bathrooms worked great for the three couples staying.

Spring break week

We had a great time at this rental. Gulf views from both balconies and steps to the boardwalk which was a quick walk to the beach. The pool was too cold but well kept and right next to the house. 2 of the 3 bathrooms were nicely remodeled.

Old and in dire need of fixing up

When we first arrived and went inside all appeared to be clean. After a little while we started noticing some (major) issues. Almost none of the electrical outlets in the living room area were working. The outside door posts are rotting away. The air outlets and inlets are covered with black mold, I can only imagine what the inside of the ducts look like. The shower curtain upstairs was old and ripped as well as the bottom of the upstairs bathroom door had swollen up and is just plain nasty. The front door knob is just about to fall off and one of the hinge pins of the balcony door must have all rusted away and was no longer there. We only stayed for two days so we lived with it. A longer stay would not have been acceptable. This home is in dire need of remodeling.

Not as expected. No privacy.

The proximity to the beach and pool is the highlight. The home however showed little concern for those staying. Their Queen bedroom has NO privacy. Not just no lock but a completely see through bi fold door. There is nothing in the room either for dresser or lamp or side table. The upstairs is the same without a place to sit a cup of water. The shower door won’t stay shut but don’t worry bc one person can barely fit in with no room for turning around. If you’re older you might also want to know you have to go up to the 3rd story to access the tiny shower. Not a great stay for a group of 6 or more. I immediately informed Vacasa and spent 2 days of vacation trying to get some resolution and after finally getting the property manager there was little said, no compassion or apologies that there was no place to change in privacy without going to the 3rd floor. Very disappointed.

Great location

Great location, beautiful views from master and balcony. Pool right outside the house. Our biggest inconvenience was that, although it slept 9, there were 3 mugs, 6 forks and 6 spoons, and 8 kitchen chairs. The kitchen utensils in general are not set up for large scale cooking as needed for 9. The whole place was in need of some maintenance. But much better than some of the beach places we stayed.

112 steps!

We loved this beach house. The location was excellent — It was 112 steps from the house, over the boardwalk to the beach. It was also just steps away from the pool. The deck has a beautiful view of the water and is east facing for excellent sunrise watching. The house itself is very nice and has had some updates since the photos in the listing were taken — namely, the carpet upstairs has been replaced with hard floors. We found everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare a few simple meals. We had a great vacation and will try to rent this property again for a return trip to this area.

Very NIce Hideaway near the beach/Mustang Island, Tx.

Gated community with all single homes. This particular house was on the end close to the beach. The beach could be seen from the second story deck. Beach was only a short walk on catwalk. Kitchen well equipped.

Great location & community. House was not very clean & has several repairs needed.

Loved the location but service with management needs to be addressed. Several things need to be repaired, check in list is needed so new tenants don’t get charged for things that are broken prior to their arrival. Bathroom got locked from inside we called management company & no one ever showed up. Luckily we finally found the key on a shelf going up the stairwell.

One Year Anniversary Trip

We were married on Mustang Island last May and we wanted to return to celebrate our one year anniversary. This was our third stay at this property and it has become our family favorite. The location is perfect. The property is well maintained and fits our family of five (15, 13 and 10 year old) great. You can't go wrong with this property. We will be back soon.

Great Location for Family

The location was perfect! The house was clean. The beach was not overly crowded and most were families staying in the neighborhood. The only downside was the power tripped on the side where the microwave was. I sent a message on vrbo and a nice young lady called me and said she would alert the local maintenance to call or come by, I never was contacted so we didn't have a microwave the whole weekend. Things happen but it would have been nice for prompt service and the ability to warm food up. I would still highly recommend this location for a family weekend away.
