You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gulf Views + 2 Pools + Tennis + Pickleball | Port Aransas | Rise N Beach

There's a particular kind of quiet that comes with waking up to the Gulf. At Rise N Beach, a renovated second-floor condo set right on the sand, that quiet is the first thing you'll notice — followed quickly by the view that runs the full length of the oversized balcony and refuses to let you look away.

Inside, the updates are easy to appreciate. The living area is bright and roomy, anchored by a comfortable pull-out sleeper sofa for extra guests, and the kitchen has been finished with modern touches and stocked for real cooking, not just reheating — the day's catch and big group dinners are both fair game.

The king primary suite earns its "retreat" label. A flat-screen TV, an
ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, and a wall of windows mean you can watch the waves roll in without ever leaving the bed. Down the hall, a queen bedroom and a flexible bunk room — outfitted with a twin-over-twin bunk and a king bed — each come with their own TV and share a sleek second bathroom, an easy setup for kids, friends, or a mix of both.

Then there's the balcony. Wide open to the beach, the dunes, and the shifting blues of the Gulf, it's the kind of spot that quietly reorganizes your day around it: coffee at sunrise, a long stretch of nothing come afternoon, the sea breeze doing most of the work.

Rise N Beach sits within Island Retreat, a palm-dotted, 25-acre beachfront complex built for exactly this kind of trip. A private boardwalk carries you over the dunes straight to the sand, and guests have access to two pools, tennis and pickleball courts, sprawling lawns, charcoal grills, picnic areas, and a fish-cleaning station. On-site security keeps watch through the busy summer season and holiday events. You're just off 11th Street in Port Aransas's golf-cart zone, minutes from the island's easygoing lineup of restaurants, shops, and nightlife — pizza and live music at The Gaff, burgers at Lelo's Island Bar, ferry-side views and dolphin-watching at Roberts Point Park, and the wide, drive-on beaches that make this stretch of the Texas coast so easy to love.
AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!

Port Aransas, a gem on the Texas Gulf Coast, offers the perfect blend of sun, sand, and relaxation. With its pristine beaches, charming small-town vibe, and a wide range of outdoor activities, it's an ideal vacation spot for groups. Enjoy fishing, water sports, or simply lounging on the sandy shores. Don't miss the Port Aransas Nature Preserve for birdwatching. This coastal haven promises unforgettable memories for your group getaway.

Beautiful and interesting stay

This property is absolutely gorgeous. Beautifully redone since the last time we stayed here. Plenty of room and the view of the ocean from the 2nd-floor balcony is spectacular. The local restaurants offer some of the best food around. We did strictly take out. We stayed 20 days and enjoyed all but the last 4 days. We happened to be there during the cold spell and joined the locals with their loss of water and power. We stayed, toughed it out, until our flight out. Our hosts offered great communication and support. Hope to return. Thank you!!

Nice beach proximity

The listing was spot on for proximity to the beach and ease of access. The beach gear provided by the property was a nice surprise. Laundry facilities in the unit were helpful. Kitchen appliances were all working and helped our stay. I'm always skeptical of what the beds will be like in VRBO properties, but these were generally comfortable. The pool was close, clean, and provided a nice way to close out the day. The property seemed clean but in general need of maintenance. One door appeared to be missing a lock, some attempts at patching holes in the drywall that were incomplete, and some of the window coverings were in a state of disrepair.

Great spot close to the beach

I loved the placed but feel like it wasnt cleaned properly. There was shattered glass all over the patio. All the windows in the patio were filthy which tell me the cleaning person never went out there. Found wrappers under the master bed as well. If i would to stay at this property again i would bring all my own pots and pan. The ones at the property are all scratches up or rusted. Not somthing you want to be cooking for your family with.We ended up buying a set so we could cook. The place is a perfect spot from the beach, just a quick walk.

Gulf View

This is a great unit! It is on the second floor (of three floors), so you can see the Gulf of Mexico over the dunes from the balcony. The path to the beach is very close to the building and one of the pools is right across the parking lot from the building. The furnishings were nice and it had everything we needed (except Kleenex). It was nice that they provided beach chairs and umbrellas. The onsite management (there Monday-Friday) and the folks at AvantStay were very responsive. I would definitely stay at this property and in this unit again. I didn't receive check-out instructions and full information about the property by email until the morning of check-out, which seems like it was a glitsch. Check-out was easy. We only had to take out the trash and start the dishes.
