About
OLEANDER HOUSE | PRIVATE POOL + PET FRIENDLY + COASTAL CUTIE (SLEEPS 12)
Welcome to Oleander House, a one-of-a-kind Port Aransas ranch home built in 1957 and full of timeless charm. Once featured in the Garden Club’s first home tour, this classic coastal gem has been thoughtfully remodeled to preserve its original craftsmanship while adding fresh, beachy updates that make it feel bright, welcoming, and truly special. With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, Oleander House is the perfect home base for family vacations, friend getaways, and memory-making weekends on the island. The backyard is made for sunny days and slow afternoons, featuring a large private pool and a fenced-in yard so your furry companions can enjoy the vacation too. Whether you’re floating under the Texas sun, grilling dinner after a beach day, or rinsing off in the outdoor shower, Oleander House is the kind of stay that feels relaxed, comfortable, and effortlessly coastal.
We do have the pool serviced twice a week on Monday and Friday and we do our best to keep sand out of the pool. Because we are right next to the dunes, inevitably you will probably see some sand at the bottom of the pool.

Although the property is old and the pool looks larger than it is, me and my 7 friends found the house well kept and the pool very enjoyable. It is close to shopping and the beach. Whenever we return to Port Aransas, we will certainly try to get this property

Our stay was simply delightful, and we can't wait to have the opportunity to visit again. The overall ambiance of the place was incredibly welcoming, which made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived
Our family had a great stay at the Oleander House!!

Our family had a great stay at the Oleander House!! It was just perfect for 6 adults and 2 children and our pets. The house was cozy and clean and we had plenty of towels. We really enjoyed cooking our meals in the large kitchen and on the gas grill. We had fun watching tv and playing card games in the living room and having drinks and coffee on the front porch. The private pool was the best!! Our 4 year old celebrated his birthday there and the pool was a big hit. The kayaks were a plus to take to the beach! We loved the shower outside to rinse off after a day at the beach. The property manager and maintenance personnel were so helpful when we locked ourselves out. We can’t wait to stay at the Oleander House again!!

The home was exactly as advertised with plenty of space for our family. The saltwater pool is small but it was enough for the grandkids to have a great time.
