Dog-Friendly Fully Remodeled Home at Lost Colony w/ Ocean View - Close to Beach

Lost Colony Laidback Hideaway

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

This renovated 3BR/2.5BA home is only steps from the beach and pool at Lost Colony, the only resort community in Port Aransas that sits directly on the closest dunes to the beach. You'll love the amazing ocean views from the two outdoor decks, and you'll be only minutes away from all the Port A shops, restaurants, and attractions.

Two oceanfront decks are perfect for family gatherings or quiet relaxation: a large second-story deck has room for the group to dine and lounge, while a small third-story deck off the master bedroom is a quiet place for morning coffee or evening conversation.

Property is 100 feet from the beach. The boardwalk to the beach is right off the deck and the pool is behind the home.

INSIDE THE HOUSE

Featuring comfortable seating in seashore colors, driftwood accents and a large flat-screen TV, the open living room is ideal for post-beach gatherings. Here, a queen-size Murphy bed folds out to accommodate two additional guests.

Adjacent, a sun-filled dining area features a wooden table with chair and bench seating for six. Open the doors to the patio to let the ocean breeze in, or take your meals outside and enjoy them on a second-story oceanfront deck.

Three bedrooms offer plush bedding and cozy accommodations. An ocean-view third-floor master suite has a king-size bed, abundant natural light and access to a private balcony where two can lounge in the sun.

The second bedroom, also on the third floor, sleeps three with a twin-over-full bunk bed. Just off the living area on the second floor, a third bedroom with bright and cheery décor offers a queen-size bed.

Enjoy the convenience of two and half bathrooms, updated and full of beach chic finishes. Upstairs you’ll find two full bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combination and one with a walk-in shower. On the second story is an additional half bath.

Guest amenities include parking for up to four vehicles and a washer/dryer.

OUR LOCATION

Here, you’re perfectly positioned to make the most of your Lost Colony location. Soak in the sun by the community pool, just steps away, or wander the wooden boardwalk just outside your home that leads right to the sun, surf and sand.

You’re just 10 minutes from downtown’s shopping, dining, nightlife and excitement. Enjoy casual fare in laidback digs at Beach and Station Street Grill or gourmet seafood and steak at Roosevelt’s.

Fantastic location

The house was nicely kept with an amazing view and easy beach access. Lots of items to use if you choose to spend time on the beach. We were there the first week of February, so it was nice and quiet, it almost felt like we had the beach to ourselves. We would definitely stay there again.

Lovely Beach House!

We loved the location of the beach house - just steps away from the beach! The balconies were wonderful in the morning and evening as we admired the beautiful view. We were especially happy that the house was dog friendly so we could bring our fur babies! The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of towels etc… for the weekend. The communication with Vacasa was very good and we had no questions regarding the check in/out process. Definitely a great getaway weekend!!

We really enjoyed the house and the view being so close to the beach. It was well equipped except that the coffee maker didn’t work. It was reported with no resolution so I ended up driving in to the city to buy a new one in the evening so we could have coffee the next morning.

Amazing Views

Beach views, ocean sounds, and comfy beds made for a fabulous time with family in this rental. We had so much fun and enjoyed how close it was to the boardwalk, pool and beach. The house is in a smaller neighborhood that is fairly far from the party central of Port Aransas, so the vibe was very relaxed throughout our stay. Just what we needed! Great amenities, including beach towels, chairs and beginner sand castle making tools! We would definitely enjoy staying here again in the future.

Beach access great!

The condo was as expected and we loved the close proximity to the beach and the swimming pool. Access to beach toys was nice. We found these in the garage and enjoyed using them and leaving them for the next renters.

The view. Thr ocean. The beach. The master bdrm was so lovely. The downstairs bed was great. WIFI was a bit spotty.. The stairs should have no skid strips on it. My grown grandson fell on the way down. Sandy stairs with a socked foot is dangerous.. he skinned his shin and hurt his back. NOT for handicapped or older infirm. Stairs are hard.. We ate in as food at restaurants was very high. The weather was good til Friday. Loved the art and sea. Corals. We had a lovely vacation. The upper rooms were very warm. Could use a little circulation. Even with screened window.s it was stuffy. I washed a coffee cup and dropped it in the sink and the handle broke off.. the boardwalk is okay but not for wheelchairs. Thanks. We all had a great visit.

Enjoyed Our Stay

My group of 8 friends were in Port Aransas for Sandfest. We enjoyed our stay at Lost Colony, and especially liked that we just walked a short distance to the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the rooms were comfortable and spacious enough for us. I would definitely stay there again.

Great view! House needs updating.

Love the view! Best views and beach access in Port A. House is dated and needs upgrading. Bring a good broom and dustpan to sweep the floors - glad there isn’t much carpeting but sandy floors are not fun!

Great Spot Close to the Water

Great location and had everything we needed. Kitchen well stocked, and the views from the decks are great. It is set one house back, but still has great view of the water, close to the pool, and right next to the boardwalk down to the beach. Lost Colony is a bit down from town, and a great spot during the more crowded times. This is hidden gem and will certainly return.

Location to the beach is great. Accommodations are adequate.

Directions given to Lost Colony were good. Once in, everything looked good and clean. However, upon settling in we noticed it was mostly a surface clean. Hopefully Vacasa takes note of the things we pointed out and it won't be a problem going forward. The home is older and could use a few updates but it worked for us. I will point out that the shower in the second bathroom is very small, so if you are a larger adult, it will be extremely challenging to bathe in it. The second queen bedroom is separated by bifold doors that open to the living/dining/kitchen area. Early risers are very easily heard if you're in that room. The kitchen is stocked well. Even though we didn't use them, plenty of beach towels were provided. Access to the beach was easy and steps away. Groceries, restaurants, and other shopping are minutes away. Checking in/out was easy. Vacasa did a good job keeping in touch with us regarding arrival and departure.
