Normally, we take our platform to talk to travelers who live away from our Port Aransas hometown, showing them all there is to do while they are here, offering a glimpse into the comforts of our vacation rentals at The Dunes, and encouraging them to make their next vacation a Port Aransas one and to stay with us when they do. Today, however, we want to talk to you, our friends, our neighbors, the residents who live full time in our coastal town, and we want to encourage you to spend your next Texas staycation with us. Not everyone can afford to fly to exotic places, and not everyone has the time to be away for a week or more, but everyone should have the opportunity to take a staycation and spoil themselves by choosing our retreats for their staycation sanctuary!

Why Not Just Stay Home?
It can be tempting to save some money and just spend your staycation at home, especially because you are comfortable there, but even as you are sitting at your dining room table, sipping coffee and scrolling through this blog, you may be noticing some things. When was the last time you painted your dining room? Has that table leg always been this wobbly? And does the air conditioner sound a little whiny? If you have noticed any of the above or so many more little things that may have slipped your notice during the chaos of real life, you have already answered the question of “Why not just stay home?” Your staycation is supposed to give you the opportunity to relax, regroup, and get out of the rut you have been in for the last little while; can you do that when your honey-do list is growing longer every minute? When you stay home, you may forget this is supposed to be a break and you may just find yourself painting, cleaning, decluttering, and working so hard, you need a vacation from your staycation when it is time to go back to work.
Why Choose The Dunes?
Having lived here for more than a few minutes, you are probably very much aware that there is a plethora of vacation rental companies in the area, so how do you know who to choose for your staycation rental? You want a company that cares, a company that offers quality rentals, and one that makes their guests feel pampered and spoiled, and when you choose The Dunes, you get all of the above. Our passion is making people feel comfortable, and our mission is to give every guest a vacation (or in this case staycation) experience they will never forget. Even better, because you found this page, you also get to enjoy a comfortable, luxurious, and fun vacation sanctuary at a lower price by booking directly from us rather than if you came across a listing on one of those other generic vacation rental platforms.

A Tour of Wonderful
Our retreats are all condos that sit right on white sand beaches, so right there you know that there the neighborhood is one of the best. Offering between 1-3 bedrooms, most families will be able to live comfortably together. Our largest escapes have room for up to 8 guests, but even if it is just you on this Texas staycation, you will be perfectly comfortable in our 1-bedroom retreats, enjoying this private time away from the harsh realities of the world. Fully equipped kitchens will enable you to stay in and relax, perhaps enjoying the meal you make while sitting on the balcony watching the sun set over the sea.
Access to Community Amenities
Your own home may feature a large backyard with a swimming pool and all the extras, but no worries, you won’t miss out on a single moment of fun, because our condos offer access to community amenities that include swimming pools and firepits, in addition to the beach. Step outside the complex and be lazing about at surf’s edge in just minutes. How long has it been since you’ve enjoyed a quiet beach day at home? We get it. We too tend to get so busy we forget that the Gulf, its serenity, and all the fun that can be had are really important to our mental health!
Coming Home to The Dunes for Your Next Texas Staycation
Everyone deserves that big vacation experience, but during those times when you can’t travel far from home and you find yourself with time off and nowhere to go, our retreats will provide you with a home sweet staycation home adventure you will never forget. Reserve your favorite escape with The Dunes today!
