About this home
From the moment of arrival, the water defines the experience. Beyond the front entry, an uninterrupted sightline carries through the gracious living spaces to sweeping marina views, establishing an immediate connection to the coastal setting that makes this residence so extraordinary. Privately situated within the gated enclave of La Joya de Island Moorings, this extensively reimagined Coastal Mediterranean residence encompasses 4,164 square feet of beautifully appointed living space, approximately 85 feet of marina frontage, and three boat slips just beyond the rear garden gate. Thoughtfully designed for those who appreciate both refined entertaining and the effortless rhythm of life on the water, the home offers six bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, two primary suites, a dedicated home office, and separate captain’s quarters with their own entrance.
The main living spaces balance generous proportions with a relaxed sense of elegance. A beautifully scaled living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-in bar, opens toward the waterfront. Formal and informal dining spaces complement an expansive, two-island kitchen featuring a 48-inch JennAir gas cooktop, KitchenAid double ovens, and a 48-inch built-in refrigerator. A separate wine refrigerator and ice maker elevate the home's entertaining amenities.
Two bedrooms on the main level include a waterfront primary retreat and an additional marina-view guest suite. Upstairs, four bedrooms offer beautifully considered accommodations, including a second primary suite with a private balcony overlooking the water. Four of the home's six bedrooms enjoy marina views, creating a remarkable connection to the waterfront throughout the residence. A comprehensive 2025 renovation brings modern performance and enduring comfort to the home's timeless architecture. The upper level was taken to the studs and thoughtfully reconfigured, while improvements throughout include impact-rated windows and doors, three new HVAC systems with entirely new ductwork, UV air-treatment systems, supplemental dehumidification, whole-home spray foam insulation, and a new whole-home reverse-osmosis water filtration system. Generous ceiling heights, eight-foot interior doors on the main level, abundant storage, and sophisticated, low-maintenance flooring further enhance the home's exceptional livability. Outdoors, expansive covered and open-air entertaining areas transition seamlessly to the landscaped grounds and marina beyond. Thoughtful orientation provides a welcome reprieve from prevailing coastal winds, while integrated sound and existing gas and water connections offer the opportunity to create a beautifully appointed outdoor kitchen. For those drawn to the water, the lifestyle is equally compelling. Three boat slips are located directly beyond the backyard gate, complemented by approximately 85 feet of marina frontage and a separate, air-conditioned tackle room or captain's quarters with convenient garage access. The community swimming pool is situated immediately next door. At 166 La Joya, the waterfront is more than a backdrop; it is woven into the experience of everyday living. From quiet mornings overlooking the marina to afternoons spent on the water and evenings entertaining beneath the coastal sky, this distinguished residence offers an exceptional expression of the Port Aransas lifestyle....
