Welcome to 16 Palms, Pirate’s Lair & Tidal Times by AvantStay, a rare three-home buyout opportunity in the heart of Port Aransas’ beloved Pirate’s Bay community. Together, these beautifully maintained homes offer 9 bedrooms and comfortable accommodations for up to 27 guests, making them an ideal choice for extended families, multi-group vacations, or friends traveling together who want space, privacy, and a shared coastal experience.

Perfectly positioned just off Hwy 361, this trio of homes places you only five to six blocks from the beach and within easy walking distance of Port Aransas’ best restaurants, boutiques, live music venues, and local entertainment. While close to everything, Pirate’s Bay feels tucked away, offering a relaxed residential setting with access to two community pools, a children’s playscape, and stunning sunset views that make evenings just as memorable as days spent at the shore.

16 Palms stands out as a private, palm-lined retreat designed for relaxed luxury and indoor-outdoor living. The open-concept main level is filled with natural light and features soaring ceilings, comfortable gathering spaces, and a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and generous counter space. Each of the three bedrooms offers its own ensuite bathroom, including a king primary suite, a queen suite, and a bunk room with four twin beds that’s perfect for kids or younger guests. Outdoors, a spacious yard shaded by tall palms sets the scene for lounging and dining, with hammock chairs, an outdoor living area with TV, and an upper balcony that invites quiet moments with a book or morning coffee.

Just steps away, Pirate’s Lair delivers unbeatable proximity to the community’s main pool and playscape, making it a favorite for families. A gated breezeway welcomes you with outdoor dining, party lights, and pool views, along with an outdoor shower for rinsing off after beach days. Inside, the oversized living area is designed for winding down together, complemented by an open kitchen stocked with everything needed for easy group meals. The floor plan includes a king bedroom, two queen bedrooms, and a twin-over-twin bunk nook in the hallway, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for guests of all ages.

Nearby, Tidal Times adds a playful, social energy to the buyout with inviting indoor spaces and a lively outdoor setup just steps from the pool. The home features a split floor plan with a king primary suite, a queen bedroom, and a bunk room with two twin-over-twin bunks, plus a sleeper sofa in the living area to comfortably accommodate larger groups. The private breezeway and backyard create a natural gathering spot, complete with an outdoor TV, party lights, bar seating, and dining space—perfect for happy hour, game nights, or relaxed evenings after a full day exploring Port Aransas.

Together, 16 Palms, Pirate’s Lair & Tidal Times offer the best of both worlds: room for everyone to spread out and recharge, and shared spaces that bring the group together. With walkable beach access, resort-style community amenities, and thoughtfully designed interiors throughout, this buyout delivers an effortless and memorable coastal stay in one of Port Aransas’ most desirable communities.
