Property details

Welcome to Tiny Islands Resort – Aruba, a playful, tropical-inspired tiny home retreat tucked into the rolling Hill Country just outside Blanco, Texas. Part of a thoughtfully designed property featuring six individual tiny homes, this unique getaway blends bold personality, smart design, and a relaxed island vibe—perfect for couples, friends, or small families looking for something truly memorable. Inside, the space is compact yet impressively curated, embracing the charm and creativity that make tiny living so special. The home features two sleeping areas, each designed as a cozy nook rather than traditional bedrooms. Bedroom one is tucked beneath the living area beside the kitchen and features a cozy queen-sized bed with the mattress on the floor. With low ceilings meant for resting rather than standing, this snug nook feels like a laid-back island hideaway. A window across from the bed brings in natural light and peaceful outdoor views. The second sleeping space is located above the bathroom and accessed by a ladder, creating a loft-style retreat with its own island hideaway feel. It features a queen-sized mattress on the floor and low ceilings that make it perfect for lounging, unwinding, and drifting off after a day of Hill Country adventures. A window brings in natural light and adds to the airy, relaxed vibe.. The bathroom sits opposite the lower sleeping nook and is a delightful surprise, featuring a walk-in shower, updated fixtures, and a tropical fern-inspired accent wall that brings the island theme to life. The long kitchenette runs along the main level and is designed for easy, breezy meals, featuring a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker. With its clean lines and tropical-inspired styling, it’s a cheerful spot to prep snacks, morning coffee, or sunset drinks before heading outside. The lofted living room is the heart of the home and is accessed by a short staircase, adding to the fun, tucked-away feel of this tiny island escape. With ceilings tall enough to stand comfortably, this bright and playful space features a plush pink sofa, a wall-mounted streaming TV, and a striking faux living wall that channels lush, tropical greenery. It’s the perfect spot to kick back with a cold drink, unwind after a day of exploring, or simply soak in the relaxed, vacation-forward vibe. Outside, your private outdoor space keeps the island vibes going with a personal fire pit surrounded by pink Adirondack chairs, a matching picnic table, and a charcoal grill for laid-back meals under the stars. Whether you’re roasting marshmallows or sipping wine as the sun sets, this space is all about slowing down and enjoying the moment. Dogs are welcome at Tiny Islands Resort – Aruba, though they must remain leashed when outdoors. The décor throughout the home is intentionally whimsical and transportive, inspired by the colors and energy of Aruba. Flamingo accents, tropical foliage, and modern glam touches create a cheerful, vacation-ready vibe that feels like a mini escape to the islands—without ever leaving Texas. Located in a quiet rural area, the property is perfect for stargazing and wildlife viewing, with frequent sightings of whitetail deer, foxes, and native birds. Each of the six tiny homes on the property is available as an individual rental, offering a sense of community while still maintaining privacy. Guests are well-positioned to explore the Hill Country, with nearby attractions including Blanco State Park, Fischer Dance Hall, Vaaler Creek Golf Club, and local dining, shopping, and outdoor recreation. Please note that this is a true tiny home, and ceilings in both sleeping areas are low and not suitable for standing adults. Tiny Islands Resort – Aruba is a bold, joyful retreat that celebrates creativity, color, and cozy living—an unforgettable Hill Country stay with a tropical twist.

It was cute and clean, river dried up so not ideal planned on going to the river. Still a nice cozy place.

Neat little tiny home that was perfect for what we needed! The location was peaceful and quiet, and the price was great. We were about 15 minutes from the nearest grocery store and roughly 20 minutes from the Gruene/New Braunfels area, so it was convenient while still feeling tucked away. I personally loved the cozy cubby-style bed. The home gets lots of beautiful natural light, but the bed nook filtered just enough of the morning light that I could wake up slowly and peacefully without the room feeling dark or closed in. Overall, it was a comfortable, relaxing stay and exactly what we needed. We’ll definitely be back soon!

This little getaway was exactly what we needed. Coming from busy Austin, Texas, it was refreshing to enjoy some peace, quiet, and relaxation. The space was incredibly cute—my girlfriend definitely approved! The outdoor seating area was a great place to unwind, and the string lights created a cozy atmosphere at night. Everything inside was clean, functional, and well thought out. The instructions were clear, the beds were actually comfortable, and the TV had plenty of movies and streaming options available. The Wi-Fi was fast, the bathroom was spacious, and there were plenty of towels and linens provided for our stay. We will absolutely be booking with these hosts again. Their hospitality, communication, and attention to detail made this a memorable experience. Thank you for a wonderful stay! 😊
