A place worth waking for.

A hand-picked set of homes in one of our favorite places to stay, each one vetted, stocked, and cared for by our own local team.

About the area

Everything that makes this place special.

Some places are worth the whole trip, and this is one of them — the kind of destination where the day slows down and the view does the talking.Mornings come easy here. The light takes its time, the coffee lasts a little longer, and there is no rush to be anywhere before you are ready.Our homes are spread across the area, from the center of it all to the quiet edges. Whichever one you choose, the same small team keeps it, stocks it, and meets you at the door.

Where to stay

Neighborhoods worth knowing.

In the center

The heart of it all — walk to dinner, coffee, and everything worth seeing. Stay here and you can leave the car parked for the week.Homes in the center

By the water

Wake to the view and fall asleep to the sound of it. These homes trade the bustle for a dock, a deck, and a slower pace.Homes by the water

The quiet side

A short drive from the center, where the pace slows and the crowds thin. The local's choice — close to everything, removed from the rush.Homes on the quiet side

Closest to nature

Right at the wild edge, where the trails start and the quiet runs deepest. These homes sit nearest to the landscape that draws you here.Homes near the trails

How we host

A team that lives where you stay.

Our team is based right here, not a call center three states away. They walk every home before you arrive and stay on call for the length of your stay.

Met at the door

Someone local greets you, walks the house, and leaves a number that reaches a person.

Ready before you arrive

The home stocked, the temperature set, and everything working before you turn off the highway.

The area, sorted

A dinner reservation, a local guide, tickets to the thing everyone talks about — ask and we set it up before you land.

A team that lives <em>where you stay.</em>

Good to know

Everything you need to know.

Closest airport

The nearest airport is a short drive away, with a few others within easy reach for more routes and better fares.

Getting around

A car is the easiest way to explore, though the center is walkable. Rideshares and local shuttles cover the rest.

Best seasons

Every season has its draw. Summer and early fall are the busiest; the shoulder weeks are the quietest and often the loveliest.

Good to pack

Layers for cool mornings and warm afternoons, good shoes for exploring, and a little more time than you think you will need.

Grocery and provisioning

Full-size grocers and local markets are close by. We can stock any home with your list before you arrive, from coffee to a full pantry.

Our team, nearby

Our local team is based a short drive from every home in the collection, on call for anything you need.

From our guests

We have booked the same house three summers running. It is the only week of the year the whole family goes quiet at the same time.

Do you allow early check-ins?

We always try and accommodate early check ins at no charge when we are able to. If we have someone checking out the morning of your arrival, our cleaning team usually needs the full amount of time to make sure everything is cleaned to our high standards. If they do get done early, we will let you know and you are more than welcome to check in early.

Will I be given a key to check in or a code?

We send instructions for check in along with the address of the home 48 hours before check in. All of our homes have unique 4 digit codes for the duration of your stay.

Are pets allowed?

Tuquoise TIdes in Port Aransas is currently the only home that is pet friendly at this time. There is a pet fee non refundable pet fee of $75 per dog with a maximum of two dogs.
