The Fish Cabin is perfect for a relaxing beach vacation!
The Fish Cabin is a fun, whimsical 1 bedroom/ 1 bath cabin. It does have a sleeper sofa in the living area which can accommodate 2 people and has been recently updated..
All of our cabins now feature central air/heat as well as washers and dryers in each. The cabins are fully furnished with full size oven, refrigerator, cooking utensils, pot/pans, dishes, coffee pot, toaster, microwave and dish washer. If we don't have something in the cabin you need just ask, its likely we have it in storage. All linens are provided except for beach towels. We ask that you bring your own beach towels and not take ours to the beach. There is a large walk in shower in the bath.
The cabins are all connected by a large porch which faces the back of the property towards the beach. This porch and the outdoor space is shared by all property guests. There is almost always an ocean breeze. There is lots of room for kids and adults to run and play out back away from the road. We also have a few games outside that you are welcome to use. We have an outdoor cooking area with gas or charcoal grills. This is a really great place to cook out and have your friends or family enjoy with you as there is lots of seating. If you are coming with a large group or a family reunion you may consider renting all 5 cabins which could sleep up to 30 people.
When you arrive at the property our manager, Becky, will be there to check you in. You should have her phone number once you have reserved a cabin so just give her a call. Her house is the first house on the left side of the driveway. Just pull in off the street and park to the right. She will direct you to the parking area most convenient for your cabin. We are approximately 2 1/2 blocks from the beach. A large sidewalk in front of our property goes all the way to the beach, its about a 5 minute walk.
The wireless internet code should be on the refrigerator in the cabin. We have a dumpster on the far right side of the property for trash. We do try to be green so please use your towels more than once. Please do not take our towels to the beach.
If you are bringing a dog please make sure to pick up after them in the yard. We will also ask you to sign a pet release stating that you will take full responsibility for your pet during your stay. There is a small one time pet fee of $35 per pet that is paid to our manager once you arrive.
Check in is at 4:00 p.m. and check out is 10:00 a.m.. If you would like to check in early or check out late please give Becky a call. She will do everything possible to make it happen, but sometimes because of tight schedules it will not be an option.
We do have a minimum age requirement of 25. If you are not 25 please let us know and we may be able to work something out depending on the situation.
We hope you have fun and enjoy your stay. If there is anything you need just ask!

I had a wonderful stay with my dog at the Fish cottage. It was clean, spacious and quiet. The kitchen was well stocked and the bed was very comfortable. The rain shower head was incredible. The host was wonderful with great communication. Will definitely be back!
We loved our stay at Fish Cabin. It was very clean and nicely decorated both indoors and out. The property manager was welcoming and very nice as well. We will definitely be back!
What a delightful, unpretentious, special property for adults only, over 25! Very pet friendly, and Becky, the host, was so sweet and accommodating. 5 minute walk to the beach! Will definitely stay here again!
The fish cabin was as advertised. Very clean. Good location. We brought our dogs and they are very dog friendly. Becky, the manager, was very helpful. Would definitely stay there again.
We stayed at the fish cabin for a mini-honeymoon weekend. Becky was wonderful, nice and clean. Great outdoor area. Beds comfortable. Not a single complaint! Highly recommend!!
We have a tradition for our Texas family to get together over Thanksgiving break in Port Aransas. We always pick a different place for all of us or just the two of us grandparents to stay. We brought along our dog this year and stayed at the Fish Cabin. I believe we'll stay here again next year! Thank you Becky. you could not have made our stay any better. Cheers, don
All was good except no privacy on porch random people here and there eating on the deck as I tried to enjoy my morning coffee. Appeared to be owners or managers and their children.
Im genuinely impressed with this property. Check-in process is so easy compared to other places we've stayed on the island. The communal yard and porch was wonderful to sit on during the evening hours and when we had some drizzles! I was largely impressed by the little things (coffee AND creamer AND sugar were provided!!). We also had a fully stocked kitchen (dishwear and utensils) as well as filter water in the fridge uppn arrival. This property truly cares about its guests' comfort and it absolutely shows!
I stayed in the Fish Cabin, four nights. The owners, Jim and Becky, who live on the premises are delightful people who checked more than once to see if I needed anything. Becky's communication and coordination regarding checkin was outstanding. We actually TALKED on the phone--imagine that! My unit was one of ten or twelve, all contiguous with covered porches, decks really. Dancing Dunes feels like slipping on a pair of old, comfortable shoes. You feel right at home. The kitchen is well appointed (Becky and Jim are both chefs). Nice big step-in shower. Comfortable bed. Location: you are half a block from Sandcastle Drive, which is two blocks leading to the beach. Easily walkable if you don't have too much gear. Price very reasonable--my stay was in mid-April. I would recommend it without hesitation or reservation.
