About this house rental
Welcome to the Blue Roost! Newly renovated and ready for your beach vacation!
Grab this perfect walk-to-the-beach location before it gets booked!
Our beach house has everything you need for a vacation here - comfortable beds with cool and crisp linens, fluffy bathroom towels, open shelves in the kitchen stocked to feed friends and family, beach toys and chairs for days in the sun. Bring your food and you are good to go!
Year-round Port Aransas has something for everyone! There is abundant sun, surf and-sand if you just want to "get away from it all." If you are lucky, watch a turtle hatchling release at the Padre Island National Seashore during the summer. Port A is THE place for fishing - in the bay, offshore or from the jetties - you are sure to go home with some fish tales! For the nature lover, the birds here are incredible - seeing a squadron of Pelicans dive for their meals, or the pink of Roseate Spoonbills never gets old for us! If you want to go shelling on a secluded island, check out San Jose Island - accessible by ferry from Port A For the art lover - the Port Aransas Art Center holds classes and has gorgeous local art available for purchase. Relaxing on the beach or adventuring in town, you won't be bored in Port Aransas!
This charming beach house gives you the best of both worlds - close to the beach and to town. The sand is less than 5 minutes away via the private La Playa neighborhood boardwalk and our place is your best location for the yearly SandFest event located right across the boardwalk on the beach.
The Blue Roost is a three bedroom, two bathroom beach house that sleeps up to 10 adults in 8 separate beds. It is comfortable enough for a quiet stay for two and large enough for a vacation with the extended family. Great for girls getaways, fishing excursions and family trips. As our guest at the Blue Roost (an owner managed property) you will have easy access to the house via your personal lock code - which means no coordinating schedules to pick up/drop off keys and no danger of losing keys at the beach!
Kitchen/Dining
This beach house has a large, fully equipped kitchen that holds everything you need to feed friends and family. The beautiful large island in the kitchen is the heart of the house. The island seats 6 and the beautiful live-edge dining table seats up to 10. For morning coffee or al fresco dining, just outside the kitchen, the covered sitting area is perfect for 5, or head up to the top deck Adirondack chairs for 6 more.
Living Room
The cozy living room has a large sofa with chaise and two comfy barrel chairs. If you need to stay in touch with the outside world for remote work or schooling, you will have access reliable high-speed 400Mbps WiFi throughout the house and on the decks. Use the new 50" flat screen TV to watch DishTV (HD) and stream Netflix when you want to take a break from the sun.
Bedrooms
The large master bedroom downstairs has a new comfy king-sized memory-foam bed and the equally large guest room across the hall has two of the same Queen-sized beds. The downstairs bedrooms share a bathroom with spa shower and double vanity. The upstairs, called the Seven Dwarfs room by my kids, is a fabulous 37-foot-long bedroom with one queen bed, 4 twin beds and a bathroom with shower. All bedrooms are equipped with an HD DishTV and Netflix. Sleeps 10 adults in 8 separate beds. All bedding and bath towels are provided. No wimpy towels here!
The upstairs bedroom has a short stairwell entrance which opens up to a very tall room with slanted ceiling. The room has a sliding barn-style door for privacy. There’s a workstation in this room complete with a comfy chair, HD 31” computer monitor, wired keyboard and wired mouse for your tele-work/tele-school needs (bring your own laptop/device).
Two Levels of Decks
The upper deck is a great area to work on a tan while enjoying a lovely birds eye and partial view of the Gulf. When you've had enough sun, lounge on the covered lower deck and enjoy the balmy breezes and sounds of the sea. Both decks have gates at the steps, providing a secure area for small children or pets.

We loved the location of the house. Perfect place with kiddos to stay. Had everything we needed:)

We stayed at the Blue Roost in August of 2022 and again July 2024. It’s our favorite. Beautiful home that fits a large number of people. Clean and bright. The attic space with a bunch of twin beds it’s perfect for the kids. Very easy walk or cart ride to beach. We will book again for sure.
5.0
We had a fantastic stay at the Blue Roost! The house had top notch appliances and came with toiletries (extra toilet paper rolls, soap, etc).
The location was perfect so you don’t have to drive to the beach and can use the beach wagon. We left with no sand in our car - what a win! There was also a closet full of beach toys!
Our kids and dogs had a great time. There were more than enough beds (which were super comfy) and there was a washing machine on site.
The owners were super responsive to my random questions and helpful! We will be back again!

The Blue Roost is a wonderful get-away beach house! For a vacation rental, the property is extremely well-maintained. You can tell that the hosts, Lauren and Doug Applegate, truly care about their renters. They are so attentive to every little detail. We communicated a few times with Lauren, and she was exceptionally responsive. Priceless!!! Hands down the best vacation rental we have ever had. We'll be back!
5.0
This was such a well furnished, well stocked house with berry easy access to the beach. We’ve stayed at a number of places on Port A and this house sets itself apart in so many ways: location to the beach, access to beach toys, tons of beds, and close in to town. We brought boards, wagon, buckets and chairs, only to find that these were already waiting for us. Owner was also very responsive when the coffee machine didn’t work; they had another coffee machine delivered by hand the next day! The upper deck was also a very nice place to gather and see the ocean. We will definitely keep the Blue Roost on our list for rebooking

We enjoyed a wonderful week in Port Aransas. The house is in a great location with a short walk to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and had an unexpectedly good view of the beach. Lauren was both pleasant & professional. We would happily stay here again.

Great location! Very close to the beach, and the boardwalk makes it an easy walk. You can see the water from the top deck, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. If you bring a pup, watch out for stickers!
The owner provides all sorts of essentials for the beach and in the kitchen. I can see how this house would be very appealing for groups.
Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay.
5.0
Our stay was wonderful. The property is beautiful! All appliances are top of the line and the house is fully stocked with whatever is needed for fun in the sun and relaxation. Communication with property owners was effortless and they were so friendly. We will be back!

This is our second time staying at the Blue Roost, and we had an amazing time! The property has been significantly upgraded since our last stay around six or seven years ago, and it's really lovely inside with all the amenities you need. The bedrooms were cool and comfortable, which was welcome after a hot day at the beach. The rooftop deck and views are an added bonus, and we also really appreciated all the beach accessories available to us—especially the wagon to haul it all! We'll definitely be back.
5.0
We had a wonderful week staying at the Blue Roost!
I’ve never stayed at a rental so well stocked.
There was a closet full of beach toys, sun shades, chairs, coolers, a wagon, and more.
The kitchen was stocked well with cooking equipment and spices.
The beach is accessible via a private boardwalk for the La Playa neighborhood. It was a quiet, family friendly area.
5.0
My family rented this house for 3 nights. Check-in and check-out was phenomenal and easy. Communication was quick and efficient. For this house to be on the beach, it was clean to our satisfaction. Very very minimal sand, beds are clean and comfy, showers and toilets are clean and worked properly. Our favorite was finding the little extras that the owners and previous tenants had left behind for the next! We left a couple of extras ourselves as to pay it forward. Our only suggestion would be to maybe replace the rug inside and on the front porch as they’re both stained, but aside from that we would most definitely rent this property again! 10/10 would recommend.

We absolutely loved our time here. The house was the perfect location! It was clean and with one of the best stocked kitchens.
We enjoyed the beach chairs & boogie boards that were available as well. It was really nice not having to pack those items.

We had such a great time ! I’ve stayed in many rentals and I’ve never stayed in a house that had so many amenities.
Everything we needed was there, and were surprised when we opened up more drawers, and found more items.
We cooked every night, but one and had everything we needed
As others have said, the beds were so comfy and it was just a nice clean great house

Everything about our stay was perfect! The beach house is beautiful, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful. We enjoyed the beach chairs, beach toys and boogie boards. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with all the comforts of home. The short walk to the beach was ideal and the view from the upper deck was beautiful! Can’t wait to return!!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway to the beach and really enjoyed our stay at the Blue Roost. The home was welcoming and had everything we needed. We were steps from the private boardwalk leading to the beach. We spent lots of time sitting on the porch in the morning and evening enjoying the breeze and just relaxing. Our dog loved finding sunny spots to lay in outside on the porch as well! The upstairs deck offered a great view of the ocean and sunset on the opposite side. There were just two of us and our dog, but there was room for many more.
5.0
This is truly a great beach house! We rented the property as a quiet winter getaway for my 50th birthday - just me, my husband and our 18 year old daughter.
I had a few questions/communications with Lauren before we booked and she was prompt, kind and accommodating. Upon arrival, we found the house to be exactly as described. It’s bright and airy and beautifully decorated.
On our second night, my husband surprised me with the arrival of two friends and their teen son and my adult son and DIL - so for one night, our party of 3 became 8 adults. The house felt spacious enough for everyone, yet comfortable enough for the rest of the stay when it was just two of us.
The beds are amazing - I napped every day and I never nap. We had planned to go out for dinner, but the kitchen was so well-stocked and great to cook in that we had all of our meals in.
We played corn hole on the top deck looking at the ocean, relaxed in the breeze on the second deck and played games around the dining room table.
The walk to the beach is very easy for almost everyone and the section of beach that the house is on was beautiful.
My husband and I are already planning to visit again and stay longer - now that we know the internet is reliable we can work from the blue roost - there’s a desk upstairs and plenty of room downstairs for both of us to set up shop.
If you’re considering this house, you won’t be disappointed. We often rent homes when traveling because we have a large brood - and this one was the most comfortable and homey that we have ever rented.

This house is perfect for our friends and family! We love the house and it’s easy proximity to the Beach. Also, Lauren is lovely to deal with. All easy peasy!

This charming property exceeded our expectations! Fully stocked, lovely, comfortable home is just a short walk to the beach. Homeowner has thought of everything. We will certainly be back!
5.0
Great location - just a short walk to the beach so you can easily go back and forth without needing to rent a golf cart. Fully stocked kitchen and great use of space - the kids loved the "seven dwarfs" room upstairs :) Lots of things for the beach (canopy, wagon, beach toys) and if you have a little one (booster chair, pack n play). I was worried there was no bath for the kiddos, but the downstairs shower has a handheld wand that was easy to use and fun for the kids too. We loved our time here and look forward to visiting again!
5.0
We had an excellent stay at the blue roost over labor day weekend! It was a very short walk to the beach through a beautiful boardwalk. The house was spotless, tastefully decorated, and very well stocked. The blackout curtains really helped the baby sleep in the new environment and the beach chairs were in great condition and added to our stay. The neighborhood was quiet but close to everything in Port A. This is a perfect set up for a family trip! Lauren even accommodated us with a late checkout which gave us the extra time to round everyone up before we got on the road. Highly recommend!
4.0
Two large-sized bedrooms downstairs, and one large loft-style room upstairs with multiple beds and a desk and monitor in case you need to catchup on work. The upstairs entryway and bathroom might be a bit low for grownups, but kids won’t have any problems.
2.5
Beautiful property and suited our family of 6 perfectly. Nice island in kitchen with stylish stools. Nice sitting area for family to watch movies. Love the second story with a line of beds for the kiddos. We rented a golf-cart (parking for three vehicles) and could drive to the beach in one minute. Great supply of beach stuff (chairs etc). I drive an EV and charger worked well. Overall I wanted to stay longer and will definetely be back.
5.0
This rental was PERFECT & that's an understatement. It's perfect for children and perfect for my 70 yr old dad who has knee issues, he thought the stairs were easy enough for him and was very pleased with the layout of the home. My mom and I enjoyed sneaking out to walk to the beach in the early mornings & the outdoor shower was perfect to rinse off (and wash your pup 😊). We were also amazed on how much we provided in the kitchen, even a crockpot!! Thank you so much for everything, Lauren! You're a wonderful host!
