The Gulf of Mexico is known for its family-friendly vibe, seemingly endless sunshine, and calm waters that are perfect for swimming.

Recent Texas Gulf Coast vacation rental reviews

Perfect 2 minute walk to the Gulf with private pathway. Pool and property very quiet and clean. Will book again!
Bret R. | Mar 2026
I absolutely loved the location — the beach is right outside the window, and because the apartment is positioned at an angle to the road, you can’t hear any traffic at all! The apartment has both a balcony with an ocean view and a bedroom window that can be opened for ventilation, creating a nice flow of fresh air throughout the entire space. I was also really impressed with how thoughtfully the space is designed: every inch of the apartment is carefully planned, offering both privacy and the option to gather together, all within a relatively small area — without sacrificing coziness. There’s a beautiful rug in the living room, a table and chairs (very comfortable despite being tall!), warm lighting above the table, lovely fish-themed decor in the hallway and bathroom, a cozy bedroom, and a perfectly designed children’s bed — the kids are close by but still have their own enclosed space where they can have some privacy. The property also has a heated pool, a tennis court, and a jacuzzi, as well as a cozy gazebo covered in plants — I would go there to spend some quiet time away from the kids and get some work done. It really feels like a green oasis, with well-maintained plants and comfortable furniture. A Walmart store is right nearby — within walking distance — as well as McDonald’s and other places where you can grab dinner. It was a truly relaxing stay!

This is our second time renting this home. We love the location and spacious size of the home. You can easily walk to the beach and it is located between both Port Aransas and Mustang Beach so not too far to drive to either. The beach is hard on houses and the house needs a few minor updates but we enjoyed our stay and will come back again.
