Close to a golf course, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 14-minute drive to Port Aransas Beach or the 14-minute drive to North Padre Island Beach (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Spend a day at the nearby beach, relax by the heated pool, or sip a drink on the balcony of this vacation home, which also features outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and digital TV.

As you settle into this 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental, you'll find a sitting area, a dining area, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include designer toiletries, towels, and toilet paper. And because there's a washer/dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
