New digs plus a prime location - you get it all for your beach getaway at this three-bed/three-bath Port Aransas house within easy reach of downtown for dining, shopping, and entertainment options. This stilted home offers a small, shaded patio area underneath the home for post-beach lounging. Fillet the day's fresh catch at the fish-cleaning station and rinse off in the hot/cold water outdoor shower before taking a load off in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the neighborhood and the bay in the distance. You’re a short walk to the community park, where the kids can burn off some energy swimming in the community pool and doing tricks at the skate park. Right in your backyard is the Port Aransas Nature Preserve, with a boardwalk across the flats, Salt Island viewing tower, and Salt Island observation deck. You can also pay a visit to the Leonabelle Turnbell Birding Center to view tons of local birds and even some fish in the marshy swamp area. Dozens of great bars and restaurants are all within blocks, for easy walkability.

Inside, feel at home in the open and airy floor plan - all on one level - with light porcelain floors and high ceilings.

The living room offers tons of seating on a sofa and love seat, as well as a sofa that doubles as a queen sleeper. Spend the evenings watching the 65-inch flatscreen TV with DVD player and cable or playing at the two-person game table. Large windows in the dining area let in strong natural light and a huge table seats eight comfortably. A cook’s dream, the kitchen features marbled granite countertops, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a big pantry, and a huge island with seating for four on barstools.
