Walk to the Beach, Sparkling Pool, Hot Tub, Beachside of 11th, In Town, GC Zone

Welcome to Sunshine & WhiskSea, your ideal Port A getaway on the beach side of 11thn St!

Steps off your front door is a sparkling pool & hot tub. Take a 10 minute walk to the beach (no roads to cross)! You'll be perfectly located right on 11th St in town.
Gather friends & family in your spacious inside/outside living space, complete with a large balcony flowing right into the fully-equipped kitchen & family room.
3 bedrooms (5 comfy beds + new sofa bed) & 2.5 baths gives everyone room to spread out.

Feel free to make use of all the extras we include, like the X-Box, board games, beach toys, washer/dryer, more!

Relax at the sparkling pool and hot tub with plenty of chairs & shade for lounging! Then walk 2 minutes down the road and grab a slice of pizza or a snow-cone from Jackfish (our kids' favorite on a hot afternoon).

Sunshine & WhiskSea offers 3 stories for our guests to enjoy, with private sleeping areas on the 1st and 3rd leaving the 2nd the perfect indoor/outdoor gathering and dining space. No neighbors above or below you!

First Floor
This area has the entryway and front door/garage door access. This first floor also houses the primary bedroom with ensuite bath for maximum privacy. The primary bedroom includes a King bed with Tempur-pedic mattress, a large walk-in closet with plenty of luggage space, as well as a 43” smart TV. The ensuite bathroom has a spacious vanity with double sinks and ample counter space, as well as a large garden tub with shower, perfect for winding down with a glass of wine at the end of the day.

Second Floor
Perfect for gathering friends and family together. The highlight of this area is the large private balcony complete with amazingly comfortable new Adirondack chairs and tables. In the evenings, you can listen to the waves and watch the sunset. The large living room has ample seating from the brand new sofa, loveseat, and armchair set (sofa folds out to a Queen sofa bed), perfect for watching a movie on the 65 inch Samsung Smart TV.

This space is ideal for playing one of the provided board or card games, or just relaxing after a day at the beach. The open concept space flows right into the dining room, with seating for 10 and a fully-stocked full-sized kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a large pantry/laundry room adjoining with washer & dryer. A modern half-bath is located conveniently off the living area.

Third Floor
You will find 2 large bedrooms with an adjoining Jack & Jill style bathroom w/ 2 sinks and a separate toilet & bathtub/shower room. The first bedroom includes full-sized bunk beds, a twin trundle bed with brand new mattress, and a pack and play in the large closet for the littles. The second bedroom has a queen bed and large, French door style windows. Both upstairs bedrooms are also equipped with Smart TVs.

Beach Equipment
When you are ready for the beach, check out the deck box on the back patio and shelf in the garage and find a plethora of beach gear available to use. When you come back at the end of the day, just rinse off with the convenient hose right on the front steps!

Bringing the Family?
We have everything you need for everyone, including a Pack N Play, high chair, beach toys, board games, children’s utensils, & more! As a mom myself, I tried to include everything I always love having when we rent a space.

It's The Little Things
Our amenities include ample towels for each guest, fresh Hotel Collection linens, shampoo, conditioner, soap, laundry & dishwasher detergent, plenty of paper towels and toilet paper, beach/pool towels, garbage bags, Keurig with a variety of pods and creamers, basic spices and oils, & more.

Great stay!

We had a great time at this place. The host was always available for any inquiry. We found out we were a bit out of shape as it is a three story house. Other than that the house was great.

Great time!

We had a great time! The property was nice, communication was great, not far from the beach. We used the golf cart rental company that was recommended from the property. They were amazing. The kids loved the golf carts rides to and from the beach and just cruising in the evenings.

Very enjoyable, stress free

Family of 6 had a very enjoyable time with 1st time stay in Port Aransas. Great experience with easy rental process and access to condo, communication with property manager who was very prompt, home was FULLY equipped with anything you may need, location had easy access to town for store, restaurants, and quick beach access. We rented a golf cart, which we used for transportation, it was fun! MAKE SURE you follow parking/vehicle recommendations because parking is tight.

Great townhouse near beach

My family had a great time staying at this condo. It was really close to the beach. The condo was clean and decorated nicely. It's a tri level condo. I thought the layout of the condo was perfect; master bedroom on first floor; common areas on the second floor; and additional bedrooms on the third floor. We have a teenager so I liked the distance between our bedrooms. The rule book and local suggestions were really helpful.

Interesting experience

We had a problem when we arrived with the house, but the host was very apologetic and did make thing right. The remainder of our stay was uneventful. The use of the BBQ is workable but not comfortably. The parking is tight. We would have used the garage but it was cluttered. Overall the house is nice and would be great for kids. The reason I gave a 3 on the rating is I don't like surprises when I'm on vacation and I don't like having to clean up after someone else to use something.

1/2 mile drive/walk from the beach

Everything in this place was better than described. Having the little things such as toilet paper, paper towels, spices, plenty of towels for your guests, and all the extra beach amenities (body boards, extra beach chairs, kites, and sand toys) made the stay away from home that much easier. The proximity to the beach made this rental even better than expected. We were able to load our truck and be at the beach in less than five minutes. My kid and I were able to walk down to Jackfish to get a snow cone every night with ease so that was a bonus. The only real “issue” with this stay was the parking but only because my husband drives a diesel truck. If you drive a small vehicle then you probably will not run into the same issues we did trying to back up a large diesel truck into a small space with other cars and golf carts in the other apartments. We would absolutely recommend this place to our friends and we look forward to staying here again the next time we come down to Port A.

About the host

Hosted by Lindsey

Host profile image
Hello! Thank you so much for considering spending your vacation at our little slice of paradise in Port Aransas.

We are a family of 5, plus Charly the Goldendoodle, with kids ranging from 8-14. All of us were born in the Salt Lake City, Utah area where we lived until 2020, when we got sick of the snow and packed it all up for our move to Austin, TX. We have fallen in love with our new home state. We are definitely a beach family, so we were so excited to discover Port Aransas and how close it is to us!

We share a love of collecting bourbons, traveling with our family, friends, and sometimes just as a couple (mom and dad need time too). We are avid New Orleans Saints fans (it's a long story...feel free to ask!) and fall football season can never come too soon.

Why they chose this property

Sunshine & WhiskSea is our dream turned reality. The beach is our family's happy place, and we made it a goal to work toward owning our own beach house someday. It took 18 years of marriage, 3 kids, 5 moves, and a dog later, but we finally made our dream come true in May 2022.

We have worked hard to make this home comfortable, cozy, family-friendly, and a place where we hope others can make memories in Port Aransas. As parents who love to travel with our family, we have tried to include every little detail and amenity we appreciate when we travel, like beach equipment, toys, boogie boards, a high chair, pak n' play with sheets, kids' dishes & silverware, family board games, movies, Xbox, Smart TVs, and even the littlest one's very own Adirondack chair on the deck.

What makes this property unique

We walk to the beach in 7-10 minutes (depending on how many times the littlest one stop to pet a passing puppy). Or, we are a short 2-3 minute golf cart ride to the sand!

The Meridian is very private, with just over 20 townhouses total! Our pool is big enough for everyone, sparkling clean, and the hot tub is great for cooler nights.

The large balcony/deck is one of our favorite places to hang out. On peaceful nights, we love to sit out with a glass of wine after the kids are in bed and listen to the waves just beyond the dunes.
