About this house rental

Welcome to the Red Marlin! Located on the corner of Beach Access 1A and 11th Street, this island gem is approximately a 400 yard walk (3-5 minutes) to the beach or a minute by beach cart. When you're not enjoying the close proximity to the beach, relax and enjoy a cold beverage while taking in the cool gulf breeze alongside your own heated pool. The pool area features a beautiful "beach-entry" style in-ground pool, BBQ grill, surfboard cabana table, and beautiful island décor to top off this coastal bend retreat.

With 12 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, the Red Marlin accommodates up to 32 guests and is ideal for family gatherings, weddings, reunions, fishing trips, and corporate retreats. The property is divided into two separate floors--each with six bedrooms (two with king beds, two with queen beds, and two bunk rooms) and four baths. Each has a large living/dining area where your group can gather and a full kitchen. The upper floor has a balcony overlooking Beach Access Road 1-A and a large covered deck overlooking the pool that is perfect for morning coffee or a cold drink at the end of the day. The lower floor has a large covered patio where you can relax after a swim in the pool.

Across the patio is another building housing the game rooms and laundry facilities. Downstairs you'll find ping-pong, foosball, and a game table to entertain the kids after a day at the beach. Upstairs is a game/poker room with a wet bar and a laundry room with two sets of machines. Wireless internet and smart televisions with a standard cable package are also provided.

The Red Marlin is in the Port A "golf cart zone" which means you can use a cart to get to the beach, shop or dine downtown, or just enjoy the many attractions on the island. The beach is a five-minute walk or about a minute by cart or car and there is shopping within a block of the property.

The Red Marlin is unmatched on the island. It's a place you'll want to return to and make lasting memories. We hope you visit us in iconic Port A soon!

Sadly, Hurricane Beryl caused the cancellation of our annual family vacation. The owners were very helpful with advice and options, including a refund. We have booked the house for next year, fingers crossed.

Great floor plan. The house is decorated beautifully. The hostess Bobbi was very accommodating. Everything we needed was in the house. We brought our own towels. My suggestion would be to have the checkout instructions printed and taped on the wall upstairs and downstairs. Thank you for hosting us in this beautiful house.

Took a few of our team members to Port A to do some deep sea fishing. It’s not easy to find a place that will sleep 17 adults each in their own bed but this place had the set up with room to spare and the location was awesome. Would recommend staying here for large groups.

This location was amazing to walk to the beach for Sandfest. The gameroom and pool were wonderful for our large extended family. Having 2 smaller kitchens instead of one large one was not great, but manageable. Be aware you are on a corner with a decent amount of traffic heading to and from the beach so you will hear street noise. Tons of beds, space, and parking! Wonderfully communicative and available hosts. Thank you so much!

Overall the place was in a great location, management company was very flexible and accommodating. House was perfect for many people with areas to feel like there is a lot of space. The cart rental place next door gave us great deals on rentals. We had a wonderful time together. Negatives were: cleanliness (especially assuming all guests remit a large cleaning fee like we did), the towel’s being old and something you would use for cleaning not personal use, in need of updates, there were no extra blankets and the beds were very noisy and not comfortable in almost every one of the bedrooms.

The house was amazing and our family group of 17 people were very comfortable staying here. We actually had one bunk room we didn’t use! Everything was very clean and everything functioned as it should. The property manager was very accommodating with every request we had. They were quick to respond and the service they provided was great! We loved the pool and spent time in it every night, we just wish it had been a little warmer. The property manager did try to turn the heat up but for some reason during our stay it never felt more than maybe 80 degrees at best even though the heater was set to 86. My guess would be that their heater isn’t registering the right temp and needs to be fixed. Our first night at the house in the upstairs area we saw quite a few roaches around the living room and kitchen areas. After talking with the property manager they sent out their pest company to spray and we did see a reduction in the amount of roaches we were seeing during our stay. They said that there can be palm tree roaches that come around this time a year but regardless it’s definitely not something you want to see when vacationing. For good measure we put all of our clothes in the dryer on high when we made it home. Overall this house was amazing at accommodating our large group and the property manager was very accomodating so we would definitely stay here again if we do another family reunion in Port Aransas.

18 Family members joined us on this trip to Port Aransas. Age ranges from 12 to 70+. The house is perfect! Super close to the beach, the private pool and game rooms kept everyone entertained morning, noon and night. Plus directly behind the home is the best priced golf cart rental in Port A. The property managers were incredibly fast when we had one off requests. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay! We are looking forward to continuing this annual trip!

We were surprised to find that the access to the 2nd floor was an outside staircase, but it worked out fine. The owners were very nice, but the check in process of having to meet them was a little cumbersome. They were very helpful in pointing out aspects of the house and pool. There are a lot of bedrooms packed into the house so not as much living area available. Nice long dining tables, but the downstairs kitchen could have had a few more larger bowls, etc. due to the number of people that it would house. Overall we had a great time and the kids loved the pool. We would definitely stay here again.

We have a very large family and it is hard to find accommodations for us to all stay in one place. This was especially nice because the number of separate bedrooms allowed for just the right amount of privacy for each family. Better than a bunch of beds in one room. The outdoor gathering areas were ideal. Only thing several family members suggested is that they add some wall shelves in bedrooms and bathrooms since there are no closets. Super to work with and could for sure see returning. Thank you!

As a family of 20, ranging in ages 2 years through , well.......lots older...... we needed both space and separation. This property has both. We were able to set "quiet" areas, and still had lots of room for us to gather for meals, watch movies, enjoy a Birthday celebration, and just hang out and be together. There were are few items missing for cooking/baking, and there weren't many standard cooking supplies. Luckily there's a convenience store near by, or we just improvised! (like how to bake 2 large Birthday cakes with only 1 cake pan) Overall, the property worked well for our large group. It's a balance of pros and cons -- it's close to the beach (but also to a very busy corner), has plenty of rooms and bed options (but no closets!), and lots of bathrooms (but no tubs). There's 2 separate game rooms, and plenty of parking. The pros far outweigh any cons, and we hope to book it again next year.

My family and I (29) all fit comfortably and still had extra bunks! The floor was a little sandy BUT how can it not be when you’re so close to the beach. Details stated there was one double bunk in one room but there was not…which kind of screwed with our room planning but we managed because there was so much space! The beach is walking distance. The host are AMAZING, sweet and super helpful. I would definitely recommend for large groups. We will 100% book again!
