Beach Bungalow by AvantStay | Steps to Beach + 2 Pools | Golf Cart Zone

There's an easy rhythm to beach life in Port Aransas, and Beach Bungalow is built for exactly that. This bright studio-style retreat sits inside one of the area's most loved beachfront communities, where mornings start with coffee and a short stroll down the boardwalk to the Gulf, and afternoons ask very little of you beyond showing up. Inside, two plush full beds and a pull-out sleeper sofa give the whole crew room to spread out. The living area is set up for slow evenings around the flat-screen TV, and the full bathroom keeps things simple with a shower/tub combo. In the kitchen, you'll find what you need to put together anything from a quick breakfast to a fresh-off-the-boat dinner, plus a charming dining space for gathering around. What really sets this spot apart is where it sits. Beach Bungalow is part of Island Retreat, a palm-dotted, 25-acre community strung along the shoreline with its own boardwalk leading straight to the sand. Guests have access to two swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, wide-open lawns made for frisbee and football, charcoal grills, and shaded picnic areas — plus a fish cleaning station for anglers heading back in with the day's catch. During summer and holiday weekends, on-site security and community events round out the welcoming, neighborly feel. Set just off 11th Street in the heart of the golf cart zone, you're only minutes from Port Aransas' best dining, boutique shopping, and laid-back nightlife, along with the fishing charters, dolphin tours, and beachy outdoor adventures this Gulf town is known for. Golf carts are the local way to get around, and rentals are available nearby through Coastal Ed's — just book early, since they tend to go quickly. Soak up the sun, chase the ocean breeze, and make Beach Bungalow your home base for a coastal escape worth remembering. AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay.
