Christiana 504-458-3515 or Joe 504-451-6061 (he works most nights so if it's late its ok.) Our house is in the perfect location for a great Port Aransas vacation. One block from Iries (I think the best restaurant in town) and from the main drag, one block from the grocery, liquor store and souvenir shops.
