    The house. Pura Playa is a 2014-built stilt home that sleeps 8. The shaded ground floor is your hangout: private pool, charcoal BBQ pit, cornhole boards, ping-pong table, and a lounge area. Upstairs you'll find a bright, open living room and kitchen with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms:
    - Primary bedroom: queen bed and private bathroom
    - Second bedroom: queen bed
    - Kids' room: bunk bed with a trundle
    - Living room: the couch sleeps an 8th guest

    Free winter pool heat. Your private pool is heated at no charge November through April, and you control the temperature, so a cold front is no reason to stay dry. Winter Texans and stays of 28+ nights are welcome. Want heat May–October? No problem: it's $50 per night, just ask.

    Beach-ready. Beach chairs, an umbrella or canopy, a wagon, a cooler, and sand toys are here for you. Please bring your own beach towels (we don't provide them), and you're welcome to bring your own gear too.

    Getting around and parking. A 6-passenger golf cart is included for beach and town runs (licensed, insured drivers 25+). There's parking for 2 cars at the house. A small boat (under 19 ft) can park in front of the house. Longer boats can park along Station Street or in Port Aransas public parking. Self check-in with a keypad. Fast 200 Mbps Wi-Fi.

    Dogs welcome, up to 4.

    What to expect. Expect a great time, a clean house, a little sand in the pool, and a well-loved golf cart. You're at the beach! We're always around to help during your stay, so just let us know if you need anything.

    Sister house next door. We also own Pura Sol right next door. It's a 3-bed, 2-bath home that sleeps 9. Rent both to sleep 17, or check it if your dates are taken here.

This beach house was a blast! The heated pool was a daily must (and nightly too), and the golf cart made getting to the beach and around town easy and fun. The house was comfy, clean, and had everything we needed. Zero stress, maximum vacation vibes. We’d book it again in a heartbeat!

We had an amazing stay at this beach house! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The heated pool and spacious outdoor area were highlights—perfect for lounging, meals, and evenings together. Having a golf cart included was a huge bonus and made getting around so easy. The location is absolutely perfect, with convenient beach access and everything close by. The hosts were responsive and thoughtful, making the entire experience seamless. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Beach Bliss

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pura Playa! The house and property were very clean and it was the perfect setup for our family of six. We loved the pool with the privacy fence and appreciated the extra perks such as a ping pong table, corn hole, beach toys and the golf cart. We were minutes away from the beach which made the experience even better. We would definitely stay here again!

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

Before booking the house we had a few questions and the owners wrote back right away. Great location, close to town and to the beach! When we arrived the house and pool were clean and ready for us to enjoy our vacation. Having the golf cart included made our trip a lot more simple! The pingpong table was super fun to have for the evenings. Rooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. We will for sure be back!

Family mini vacation

This is our second time renting from this property manager. The house was perfect for our family mini vacation this past weekend. This house is super close to the beach. You can walk or take the golf cart. The golf cart is the perfect addition! Our kids loved riding around in it almost as much as going to the beach :) No issues and will def stay again.

This stay was so much fun! The golf cart on hand was great to have, the heated pool was perfect, and the house itself was cozy and had lots of room. They provided beach chairs and those came in handy! We left our cooler and some pool floats for the next guests to use as a thank u to the owners! Owners were also super nice when we ran into a problem they called us back super quick and got it handled. Would stay again!
