Perched on a small hill in Old Town Port Aransas, El Cerrito Place offers a legendary coastal experience steps away from the beach. This historical treasure is ideal for large families or groups seeking a serene getaway. The property is not just a piece of Texas history but also a modern-day showcase of local artists, featuring original pieces that depict various eras of Port Aransas and the nostalgic Texas Gulf Coast. The massive covered porch with ceiling fans is an excellent spot for enjoying the sea breeze and socializing with loved ones, and a rooftop deck is perfectly set up for sunbathers. The expansive backyard is another option for relaxing and soaking up the rays. Head to nearby Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center and marvel at the diverse bird species that call this coastal oasis home. Visit Roberts Point Park for a relaxing day by the water, or enlist Dolphin Dock Inc. for an unforgettable dolphin-watching tour.
When you return home from a day of the sand, rinse off in the convenient outdoor shower. Then, step inside and be greeted by original hardwood flooring that adds to the character of this legendary vacation home. This seaside homestead boasts two full kitchens, including the upgraded ground-floor chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a high-end range hood, and a breakfast bar. Additionally, there are two full-size washer/dryers for your convenience. Additional amenities include a Pack-N-Play, central air-conditioning, and WiFi.

The house is very spacious and clean with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and a fenced yard! A minute golf cart ride to the beach or a 5 min walk. I would highly recommend staying here!

2025 Summer Vacation
This house was perfect for a multi-family vacation. With two stories, 6 bedrooms and 5 baths, there was plenty of room for everyone! In addition, the covered back porch with ceiling fans, made hanging out outside comfortable. It was also just a couple of blocks to the beach and the gift shops. It was perfect location! We will definitely stay here again when visiting Port A.
I chose this home because it was the perfect amount of space for the combination of adults and kids that were coming on our trip. It was a bonus that it gave Golden Girl vibes! It is the perfect location! Super easy to check in and check out. I would say the only negative thing was the amount of silverware and supplies that were left for a party of 15 people. We had to use silverware from the upstairs kitchen in order to have enough for all the people. Luckily I bring dishwasher pods, a roll of paper towels and TP when I go to these places in case the host doesn’t leave enough. We did use some dishwasher pods and paper towels, but they provided plenty of TP. Overall, it was a great trip and we would definitely stay at this house again!
