Ocean View w/ Pool, Tennis/Pickleball, Beach Access | Summer Love by AvantStay

Winter Texan discounted rates are available for 29+ nights, inquire for a quote.

Sun-washed and styled with personality, Summer Love is a second-floor studio where Gulf views set the tone the moment you walk in. The space feels open and airy, layered with chic furnishings and playful pops of color that nod to its beachfront setting. A king bed anchors the room, and a full sleeper sofa rounds out the sleeping arrangements, making it a comfortable fit for up to four.

The fully equipped kitchen is a standout, dressed in striking blue cabinetry with a breakfast bar built for slow mornings and easy meals. That same coastal blue carries into the full bathroom, where sleek finishes frame a glass walk-in shower. When you're ready to unwind, step out to the private balcony, sink into an Adirondack chair, and take in the beach and ocean stretching out in front of you.

Summer Love sits within Island Retreat, a sought-after 25-acre beachfront community shaded by swaying palms. A private boardwalk leads right over the dunes to the sand, so beach days begin the second you step outside. Guests also have access to a generous lineup of shared amenities, including two pools, tennis and pickleball courts, wide-open lawns, charcoal grills, picnic areas, and a fish-cleaning station for the day's catch. On-site security during the summer season and holiday events adds an extra layer of ease.

Just off 11th Street and within the island's golf-cart-friendly zone, the complex puts you a short, breezy ride from the heart of Port Aransas. Cruise into town for fresh Gulf seafood and laid-back local favorites like The Gaff or Lelo's Island Bar, browse the boutiques and souvenir shops along Alister Street, or spend your days drifting between the pool and the shoreline. Summer Love makes it easy to settle right into island time.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips!

Port Aransas, a gem on the Texas Gulf Coast, offers the perfect blend of sun, sand, and relaxation. With its pristine beaches, charming small-town vibe, and a wide range of outdoor activities, it's an ideal vacation spot for groups. Enjoy fishing, water sports, or simply lounging on the sandy shores. Don't miss the Port Aransas Nature Preserve for birdwatching. This coastal haven promises unforgettable memories for your group getaway.

Port A Bliss

How often does what's promised meet your expectations? Well our stay at Port A at one of Sway's condos certainly did. It was prettier than the pictures and no words could adequately describe the view of the gulf from the balcony. We will surely go back.
