Close to cycling, this smoke-free cottage brings it all within reach. There's convenient onsite parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 14-minute walk to IB Magee Beach Park or the 9-minute walk to Port Aransas Birding Center.

A BBQ grill and air conditioning are featured at this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom rental. Connect to the free WiFi, or get cozy in front of the TV. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an electric kettle, a microwave, and cookware. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have a dryer. Other amenities include bed sheets, an ironing board, heating, and wardrobe or closet.
