Welcome to Seas The Day, a breezy coastal retreat tucked inside the beloved Island Retreat community in Port Aransas. Just a short stroll down one of two private boardwalks, the sand and Gulf shoreline are always within easy reach---making morning beach walks, SandFest sculptures, and colorful Kite Fest afternoons part of your everyday rhythm.
Inside, the home unfolds in a bright, open-concept layout designed for connection. The living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow seamlessly together, creating an easy setting for shared meals and laid-back evenings after a day in the sun. The dining table seats six comfortably, while the full kitchen is stocked with all the essentials you need to prepare beach-day breakfasts, fresh seafood dinners, and everything in between.
Step outside to your spacious first-floor balcony---an inviting spot for morning coffee, evening breezes, or simply unwinding between pool dips. Being on the first floor adds an extra layer of convenience, making it easy to come and go as you explore the grounds or head out toward the beach.
The primary bedroom features a king bed and a calming coastal feel, offering a restful space for two. The second bedroom includes two queen beds, comfortably sleeping four and ideal for families or friends traveling together. Two full bathrooms, each with a shower/tub combo, make getting ready effortless after a day by the water.
Beyond your front door, Island Retreat's shared amenities elevate the experience. Spend your afternoons at one of two pools (complete with a rinsing station), challenge your group to tennis, pickleball, basketball, or sand volleyball, and take advantage of the charcoal grills and picnic areas scattered throughout the complex. In the summertime, enjoy live concerts on the grounds, adding an unexpected layer of energy to your stay. With easy access to the boardwalk, you're perfectly positioned for local favorites like SandFest and Kite Fest, along with the best of Port Aransas' beaches, seafood spots, and coastal charm.
With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and space for six guests, Seas The Day offers the comfort of home paired with the convenience of resort-style amenities---so you can focus less on logistics and more on making the most of every sun-soaked moment.
