The Oyster House - Pet Friendly! Private Pool! Golf Cart included!

**A signed Property Management Rental Agreement Contract is mandatory upon booking. Also required is a copy of your driver's license to receive check-in instructions. Contracting guests of Port A Beach House Company must be 25 years of age or older.**

Welcome to The Oyster House! Your very own Port A Retreat with a private pool and golf cart included! A rare find in the Port A rental pool…this premium quality, luxurious, modern, and spacious two-story - three-patio three bedroom – two and half-bath house is the quintessential beach home. Enjoy the coastal chic and the carefree outdoor living you envision for your beach getaway. Located in Old Town on a quiet residential side street, The Oyster House is within walking distance of all the restaurants, bars, and shops and a short drive to the iconic Horace Caldwell fishing pier and ship channel. While you can walk everywhere, Port A memories are made by parking your car and riding around town in your very own golf cart. The rental comes equipped with the use of a 6 - 6-Passenger EZGO Golf Cart. Enjoy the homeowner's private 6-seater golf cart that is included in the rental! (Professionally managed/maintained by Island Outfitters golf cart company). The "Oyster Cart" is licensed for the roads in Port Aransas and includes a beach access pass. Built for relaxation, outdoor living, and entertainment. It is immediately clear as you step through the privacy gate and see the thoughtful layout of the home and outdoor spaces that you have arrived at your very own beach retreat. We do have the pool serviced twice a week on Monday and Friday and we do our best to keep sand out of the pool. Because we are right next to the dunes, inevitably you will probably see some sand at the bottom of the pool.

Beach gear credit included! As a gift to you, this home offers beach gear credit for you to select top-quality beach gear for your vacation stay. You can choose from a range of items including bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, boogie boards, and more. Simply select the gear you want for your vacation at least 48 hours before your scheduled check-in date, and VayK Gear will take care of the rest! Please note, a small delivery fee may apply.

Winter Texan friendly! January-February, contact our office for rates!

Weekend Getaway
My husband and I really enjoy staying at the Oyster House, so much so that this was the second time we’ve rented this property. It’s the perfect location with a private pool and a golf cart, which is an added bonus. We will definitely be renting this unit again.

Location is perfect
The property is as described except the pool is much smaller than it looks. There are TWO bedrooms & the (3) bunkbeds are in the hallway upstairs, still roomy but no privacy. Excellent photography! It was clean. Kitchen was well stocked. We had everything we needed. WiFi was horrible if nonexistent. As a result no television in living area unless connected to my own hotspot which was frustrating since we had (2) kiddos with us. Very small backyard with artificial turf. Garage had everything needed for lots of fun & golf cart was excellent! Had beach chairs, sand toys & a canopy. Location is amazing! Walked to coffee shop every morning & sat on decks each night listening to live music from SipYard. 3 great outside sitting areas upstairs & down. Restaurants, bars, shopping & ice cream all close walking distance.

The house, pool, golf cart & location to restaurants & the beach are great. House was clean & comfortable, yard was perfect for our little dogs, but wifi was horrible & we had no TV or streaming our entire last day. Had a couple issues with the golf cart but company was quick to come to us (at the beach!) & fix it. Would stay again.

Property is beautiful. I did not like the check in process. It was confusing. And could not figure out AC. Turns out it was broken. The repair man showed up quick and was very professional and nice. Anyway took a long time to cool house down. Then the next day house was hot again apparently elec company had work on the lines and power was off.

Misleading listing
This is not a 3 bedroom property. The “3rd bedroom” is the hallway. The 2nd bedroom bed has the most uncomfortable mattress I have ever experienced. The upstairs is HOT! I did email about the AC and the management got back quickly. We only came in at night so I didn’t want to have to be stuck to our house for a day waiting for an AC man. But it’s definitely something that needs to be updated. The unit doesn’t seem big enough to cool the whole house. The “game room” is a garage. And the games looked broken down and not taken care of. All the photos make this look way better than it is. The pool is basically a hot tub and not usable past a certain point in the day. The location was wonderful and check in was easy. But at the price per night it is not worth it. WAY over priced for what you get.

House is beautiful… management company non responsive
We stayed at the oyster house this past weekend, and the house itself was beautiful, but we had numerous issues that I reported the day we checked in and then again the day after. I spoke to three different people on the phone and never received a call back. The grill was filthy and did not have a propane tank so we had to go buy one. I was told when I called Friday that they didn’t know if the house came with one or if I had to bring my own.?.? What the heck??? The golf cart that came with the house for us to use did not have good regular brakes and the parking brake didn’t work at all so we had to take a rock with us to put behind the wheel to keep it from rolling when we went anywhere. The pool was very dirty and had so much chlorine in it that we had to buy my granddaughter goggles just so she could swim in it (burned her eyes). The pool guy came by Saturday morning, but did not clean the pool, I had to get a dead frog out of it after he left. Very disappointed with the customer service (or lack of it) that we received, especially since we spent more money, renting this house than planned because of the golf cart and pool. We definitely left everything (except the pool because we could only get out what the net could get and the golf cart because we weren’t going to fix the brakes) better than we found it. Would not recommend this house as long as the current property management company is in place.

Great stay!!
We loved the location, the arrangement of the house, and the outdoor area. We had a great time and really loved the house and tooling around in the golf cart. The small cocktail pool was an extra benefit. We did not experience any issues with the check-in, house, pool, or golf cart. Overall, I would recommend this house highly. Our two small doggies approved the house too and even learned how to climb the stairs during our stay.

Oyster House
The beautiful Oyster House is an amazing stay! It’s an incredible place with plenty of tastefully appointed and decorated nooks and crannies. We enjoyed all of the decks and outdoor spaces as well! It has a private pool perfect for kids play or a nice dip. We loved driving to the beach on the golf cart room enough for 6 people and your stuff! You can park it right on the amazing beach! We adored The Oyster House and want to return again soon!

This place was immaculately clean, bed was super comfy (we only used the master bedroom), and the patios and decks were awesome. Very close to awesome restaurants, beach is super close, and the bay is a nice little walk. Golf cart was awesome as well. I encourage you to make friends with the neighbor lady. She was soooo sweet and wished us a happy thanksgiving multiple times and even wished us a safe travel home as we were departing. Overall this was an awesome place and we’d love to come back.

Very Disappointing Stay
We arrived to a stifling hot house and while someone came out to fix it, it was after 2am before it was cool enough for any sense of comfort. The following morning, we spent well over an hour trying to find the keys to the golf cart because the instructions said they were in a lockbox in the garage. There is NO lockbox and eventually we found the keys on a random shelf inside the house. This made us late to a reservation and meeting up with friends and really just set a sour note for the day. While the house is gorgeous and we had fun overall, the incidents mentioned above definitely did not sit well.

Beautiful home and immaculate pool. Internet non existent, coffee pot did not work, and we were never able to access the garage. Keypad to open house would stick, took several tries to open. Light under microwave was out, making it very dark trying to use cooktop. Addressed these deficiencies with management company. Morgan was very sweet but nothing was ever done to rectify problems. Won’t stay here again.

House was very nice but needs attention with cleanliness and maintenance. Pretty disappointing.
Wifi was in and out, tvs not working, remotes were missing, lights out, grass not mowed, yard full of debris, smoke detectors missing, golf cart was left dirty and key hidden in the house that was found days later. Called office 3 times just to have call dropped with no response. Honestly I was very disappointed considering the price. House needs some attention and cleaning. I would not recommend to anyone considering our experience we had. The mattresses need to be replaced as well. Not a good experience. House has a ton of potential but the maintenance and cleaning was terrible.
