Overall, this place was just right for 2 couples who only needed a place to sleep for a really good price. Nothing fancy, but it was clean. There wasn't much room for "hanging out" inside, but there was ample space for sleep. Very cold A/C!!! We only had two complaints. 1.) The drain in the shower was poor, and the... more

We arrived at 5:50 P.M. to a closed office and found our keys (as well as other guests) were left in a mailbox. The cottages had no on-site management and several cottages were occupied by a group that had already "taken over" the outside area at 6 P.M.. Extremely, extremely loud music played outside until past midnight, and several of... more

We reviewed the comments on Trip Advisor before we called The Gulf Beach Cottages. We were apprehensive, but decided to chance it due to the excellent prices. When we checked in we were pleasantly surprised. The rooms were incredibly clean. I highly recommend #15 of the cottages. The staff were out of this world friendly and accommodating. We will definitely... more

A little bit of old Port Aransas with a few extras. These Old Cottages are a little worn but still have that old Port Aransas feel. The cottages have been recently purchased by the adjacent property and the office is a bit hard to find. The amnesties including a nice pool are now available to Gulf Beach. The grounds were... more

This was my second stay at the cottages. We returned to Gulf Beach because it was so quaint, had lush & relaxing courtyards. The cottages were what I expected, but the court yards, outside furniture (what was left of it) and lawns were neglected. The court yard used to have inviting shade, nice lighting at night & numerous tables and... more

My, how things can change in one year...and not for "the better". The Gulf Beach Cottages has a new owership and with that, propery priorities have apparently changed too. The outside sitting area where we use to love to hang out and enjoy the breeze is now un-mowed and covered with tall weeds. It use to draw us outside with... more

We wanted to stay in a more affordable place, where we could enjoy the surroundings, be close to the water, local restaurants, yet feel at home when it was time to rest our heads. We were pleasantly surprised by the cool A/C (cooled our room enough although we stayed in the smaller room w/o a kitchen), and it was clean.... more

Gulf Beach Cottages # 11 in Port Aransas is island history in a nutshell. They are among the first cottages built on the island and are small and quaint but could use some TLC. The beds and bedding were nice and clean but the cottage had several things that need attention. The plumbing in the shower is anique with some... more

We rented two cabins because we were going to take some of our employees with us. Cabin 15 & 12. Cabin 15 is the cabin I stayed in. In was open floor plan. Very clean. And the bed was so nice it felt like home. I also got a lot of use out of the littel private deck off the... more
