About this home
Perched atop one of Port Aransas’ tallest natural dunes, this remarkable property, known in its heyday as the Seahorse Inn and now as Belles Sea Inn, offers a rare blend of history, character, and potential. Long known in the community as a hub of culture and charm, the hotel includes 14 rooms, a detached cottage, and a spacious multi-use suite, many with commanding views of the shimmering Texas Gulf. 12 rooms are currently leased to long-term tenants, with the remaining 2 serving as summer short-term rentals and expected to convert to long-term thereafter, providing immediate income and stability. A large commercial kitchen, dining area, and front lobby, while not currently operational, remain intact and offer the perfect opportunity for a revitalized food and beverage program. The building sits on over an acre (48,351 SF) within Port A’s Eleventh Street corridor, surrounded by popular vacation homes and zoned TR-3 for tourist and recreational use. Outdoor features include shaded patios, breezeways, and a pool area, adding to its coastal charm and livability. This property is more than just a hotel, it’s a piece of Port Aransas history. Once a gathering place for artists, musicians, travelers, and visionaries, its spirit still lingers, waiting for the right owner to breathe new life into its walls. Whether restored to reflect its mid-century charm, reimagined as a modern coastal retreat, or crafted into something entirely unique, the possibilities here are as expansive as the views. Highlights: Exceptional location atop a high dune with panoramic Gulf views. Long-term tenant base in place with short-term rental upside. Historic structure with a flexible layout and unused commercial kitchen. Prime zoning for hospitality, vacation rental, or redevelopment. Walkable beach access via neighboring dune walkover. Functional today, full of promise tomorrow, this is a rare opportunity to own a true Port A original.
