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

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 (along with two little dogs) stayed there in November and found it a very pleasant, reasonable place. Near the beach, great little restaurant next door. Cabins are vintage 50's style but updated and very very clean. Kitchen had every possible cooking utensil, rooms nicely decorated, each cottage with a different theme. New owners (own the lodge next door)were very... more

Loved the 60's style. Clean linen and great hosts. Will return in the future. Close to the sand. more

Just came back from our two week stay at the Gulf Beach Cottages. This was my first meeting with the new owners. We have stayed at Gulf Beach for the last thirty years. The new owners were very friendly and accommodating in every way. They always ask if they can help make your stay more enjoyable, even letting you borrow... more
