With two queen beds, a full kitchen, and a private balcony overlooking the dunes and Gulf beyond, this inviting retreat is designed for guests who want beach access, resort-style amenities, and a laid-back island atmosphere all in one place.

Inside, the studio is simple, comfortable, and beach-ready, with two queen beds, a TV, and a small dining table that makes mornings easy and evenings relaxed. The kitchen is equipped for light meals and snacks between beach trips, while the open layout keeps everything feeling airy and connected. Step outside to your private balcony and take in the ocean views, salty breeze, and slower pace that make Port Aransas such a favorite coastal escape.

Beyond the unit itself, Island Retreat offers one of the most amenity-rich settings in Port A. Guests have access to the communal pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a basketball court, along with the broader community’s spacious grounds and easy beach access.

Located right off 11th Street in the golf cart zone, this community also puts you close to everything that makes Port Aransas memorable — fresh seafood, local shops, boat charters, beach bars, and the easygoing energy of downtown. Whether you're here for beach days, casual evenings on the balcony, or simply a comfortable home base near it all, Ocean View Efficiency makes island living feel effortless.
