Normally we take this page to address travelers flying in from all over the world, but today, we at La Mirage want to talk to our Port Aransas neighbors. Life can be hectic, chaotic, and expensive, and we don’t always have the money or the time to go away for some exotic vacation in foreign lands, but that’s ok; you already live in paradise, so why not look into a Port Aransas staycation in one of our La Mirage vacation rentals? Offering a respite from home chores and honey-do lists, our Texas retreats are designed to be a relaxing oasis whether you are far from your own home or live just down the street and this guide to a staycation in our Port Aransas vacation rentals will give you an idea of just how badly you need this getaway!
Try a Staycation in Our Port Aransas Vacation Rentals
You live here, but when was the last time you spent the day at the beach or you just explored Port A and all there is that makes our town the one you love so much? The ideas listed below will help get you started, but we are sure you have some ideas as well!
Roberts Point Park, 301 JC Barr Boulevard
You’ve probably visited during the holidays—isn’t Christmas special with the light display?—but when was the last time you took the kids to the park and spent the whole day exploring? The new playground has just opened, made to be accessible for all mobility levels and offering a marine life theme, including a lighthouse with a slide, ziplines, and a group swing that is sure to be a hit with your littles! The Patsy Jones Amphitheater is currently offering their free concert series, held on the 2nd Friday of each month, adding an exclamation point to another perfect day at the park. You know they also offer picnic pavilions and that wonderful observation tower, maybe the same one your human decided would be perfect for popping the big question at sunset, and a climb to its top would be a beautiful reminder of all that has occurred in your life together since you said yes on that fateful day!
Roosevelt’s, 200 E Cotter Avenue
The restaurants of Port A are delicious ones, but we tend to get in a rut, visiting MacDaddy’s Family Kitchen on Friday nights, knowing our kids feel comfortable and at ease, but a staycation is the ideal time to get out there and explore the finer side of life, perhaps with a special occasion dinner at Roosevelt’s. Located at 200 E Cotter Avenue and offering a steak and seafood menu that is fresh and locally sourced whenever possible, its upscale ambience makes everyone feel important and treasured. We think that your time away from real life deserves a meal fit for royalty, and Roosevelt’s provides that experience.
Dolphin Dock, 300 W Cotter Avenue
We at La Mirage spend a lot of our days showing all the tourists all the fun things to do here, but it has made us wonder. Have you, a resident, ever taken a dolphin tour or engaged in a deep sea fishing expedition? Your staycation is the perfect time to experience our wonderful island home as a newcomer, and an adventure with Dolphin Dock is sure to be your favorite way of doing both. Offering deep sea fishing expeditions that change with the season and dolphin watching tours, we think you will be surprised at how much you can learn about the area when you take part and how much more relaxed you will be after either experience. And if you happen to catch your limit of delicious fish—the summer catch tends to be red snapper, mahi mahi, tuna, sailfish, and marlin—all the better! Maybe you will catch your dream trophy fish and have it mounted to the wall of your office.
Playing at Home with La Mirage
Your best staycation adventures may be the ones where you can stay at home and relax in your comfy clothes. Our retreats offer all the comforts of home and because many feature sea views, you can feel your blood pressure lowering as you sit out on balconies, watching the sun set, the ships cruise by, or just watching the waves curl over themselves, slapping against white sand shores and retreating once again. Hypnotic, tranquil, and wonderful relaxing, going back to real life at the end of your stay will be something you will be able to tolerate after this wonderful adventure. Our properties also offer resort pools, hot tubs, and barbecue areas, ensuring you can enjoy all the fun parts of summer living without having to leave the boundaries of our property lines! Contact us to reserve your favorite staycation escape today and fall in love with Port Aransas all over again.
