Guests in excess of 8 total per home are charged at $25 per night per guest upon check-in. Accurate guest counts must be provided so that we can provide sufficient towels and linens and supplies. This house is ideally suited for 3 adults couples and some children therefor we recommend no more than 8 adults in the house if the party is adults only, or no more than 6 adults if there are children coming. The top bunks are for children less than 100 lbs. only. Gas grills are provided. Some properties have propane grills, and the boiling pots only use propane. We leave a couple propane tanks at the house for the grill and boiling pot burner, but there is no practical way to keep them filled, so propane is not guaranteed. Like most properties on the island, we employ the honor system, as we do not and can not monitor them. If you drew the short straw and the gas runs low or out on you, take the cylinder and pay an exchange at IGA, CVS, Ace, or Stripes. It should be around $25. Grill cleaning is guest responsibility. If you use any of the outdoor cooking equipment, it needs to be cleaned and the drip pans emptied and ready for the next guest. We do not and can not clean the grills and boiling pots between guests. Please use paper towels and the metal grill brushes to clean the grills, not our linens or our pool cleaning equipment. If you leave the grill or boiling pot dirty for the next guest you will be charged per the rental agreement. If you check in and find the grill dirty send us pictures and we will send you $25. NOTE: Dirty is excessive food particles or full grease catch pans or actual food left in the boiling pot, not a little grease residue or a little rust on the grill or grates. Golf Cart usage is subject to terms and conditions that are in the home rental agreement. You must complete the home rental agreement (which includes the provisions for the golf cart) including full contact details and you must text any operator's driver's license and proof of insurance to us before they operate our cart. Golf cart access and operating instructions will be provided the day of your arrival. We heat the pool Nov 1 to Mar 31 to 90 degrees. Heating to higher temperatures and other times can be arranged for a fee. The pools are serviced twice a week and will require occasional closures to allow chemicals to dissipate. This is usually no more than a couple hours.The pool is cleaned on Tuesdays and Fridays and tested for proper and safe chemicals. Sometimes the water isn’t perfectly clear but that does not mean it is unsafe to use. There may be occasional algae growth on the pool walls or steps, or debris or sand blowing in from the beach and landscaping. These do not constitute the pool being dirty. Skimmers and brushes are provided if Guest wants to remove them between regularly scheduled cleanings. Please do not let your children use play with these. Our pool service company will notify you if the pool is unsafe to use. There are no refunds for occasional pool closures for cleaning, repairs or maintenance, “cloudy” water, if pool temperature is undesirable, or other minor issues with the pool. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Heated pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Gas grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Evidence of smoking or vaping on or in the propert ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Things to do - Heated pool ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,791 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69190000/69189400/69189340/w1344h900x5y0-ff5245db.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Heated Pool /Modern 4BR/4BA House/Easy Walk to Beach & Town Old Town Port Aransas - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 39 reviews £640 includes taxes & fees 29 Oct - 30 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=69189340&PinnedHotelID=69189340&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/78000000/77996900/77996862/c08f4cfe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Blue Lagoon: NEW Luxury 4BR!
