Would you believe you can own a beach home for under $500,000? And make rental income to help pay for it?
Keep reading because we are about to show you affordable, amazing and luxurious beach homes, all priced below $500,000.
Hi, we are Carl & Laura Staves with the Saltwater Shores Team of Keller Williams Lonestar, here in the fast growing beach town of Port Aransas, Texas. First up, let’s talk about Sandcastle. Sandcastle Resort Condominiums has recently reopened after Hurricane Harvey and offers beautifully remodeled efficiencies, 1, 2 and 3 Bedrooms. Talk about resort living – this place feels like Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous. Currently on the market are efficiency and 1 bedroom condos ranging from $225,000 to $425,000. A feature you may want to check out is the live surf cam. If you aren’t able to be in Port A, you can still have a live view of the Gulf of Mexico. We will have a link to the surf-cam below in the description.

Beachhead Condominiums
There is something magical about Beachhead Condos that seems to keep renters coming back year after year. My favorite feature -- a heated swimming pool that offers beautiful views of the gulf while swimming.
Other amenities include a fabulous game room, Owner’s Lounge, laundry area, playground, fish cleaning station, & gated beach walkover! Currently available are two 2bd units priced at $340,000 to $350,000. Most of these condos are placed with Gulf Views from the balconies – and parking is covered. Another community that again is beachfront and that is Island Retreat. Amenities include 2 pools, a private boardwalk to beach, tennis courts, playground, volleyball courts, Bar-B-Que areas, and a shuffle board court.
This one also has golf cart accessibility to shopping and restaurants and Old-town. If you are a fan of Sandfest – you can’t beat this location—Sandfest is literally right over the boardwalk on the beach. Island Retreat typically is very popular with renters hence its popularity with investors.
Currently 2 BD condos at Island Retreat range in the low to mid $400’s. Detached condos with more privacy due to the style are also very popular with renters and investors alike, and there are a few priced below $499,000 including a recent condominium conversion at 403 10th St. Proximity to the beach, town and golf cart accessibility are definite benefits.
Approximately 8 miles down the beach towards North Padre Island is the Mayan Princess. Breathtaking views, three lagoon-style pools, views of the Gulf of Mexico – need I say more? As of today, there are three one bedroom condos (that can sleep between 4 and 6 people) all priced below $386,000.
We would like to mention is that there are other properties in the Port Aransas area that have are selling below $499,000 however we only included five that have active/available listings as of the filming of this video. I’m happy to send you more information if this is something you are interested in.
