We had a wonderful time! The property is equidistance between downtown Rockport & downtown Aransas. Nothing is within walking distance but by car, HEB Grocery is 8 minutes away, Walmart 7 minutes away, beach & fishing peer about 8 minutes away depending on traffic. The public beach is perfect for families with young children. Plenty of playgrounds on the beach and the water is shallow for quite a distance. The tiny cabin is just as described...tiny. No space is wasted. The first day and night it was just my wife and I but the second day the daughter, son-in-law and 3 grandkids arrive. The 17 year old grandson loved the beds in the loft and the girls (5 & 7) loved the, built into the hallway wall, bunkbeds. My wife & I had the only private bedroom with a door.
The cabins are built around a common area with a fire pit, pick-nick tables, & bar-b-que pit in the middle. Each cabin has its own pick-nick table and propane powered BBQ grill.
We stayed in the COAST OAK cabin which is all by itself on one side of the common area. It is clear that new cabins will be built on that side of the common area but for now it is VERY private, we LOVED it.
When we discovered that the internet was not functioning properly in our cabin, Angela went above and beyond to fix the problem. She offered us a different cabin, which we declined, so she came out and set up her PERSONAL internet service in our cabin for us to use for the rest of our stay! WHAT SERVICE!
The only draw back is that there is not a washing machine, dryer or dishwasher but after all it is a "tiny" house.
We are already talking about a return visit but my wife wants to rent 2 cabins next trip so that the daughter, son-in-law and the grandkids can have a tiny cabin for themselves. Side by side cabins would be nice.
I am not certain what the rule is on using the common area fire pit but if you plan on using it, go out there early because I believe that it may be first come first serve. There is PLENTY of firewood chopped and ready to use!
One unexpected pleasant perk was that the teenager grandson could watch the living room TV from the bed in the loft and not have to sit on the couch with his two little sisters. No fighting, poking, pushing, teasing, or crying.
If you are looking for a super clean, private, secluded, hideaway in the woods near the Gulf Coast, and only minutes away from everything we love about the coast, this is your place!!!
We look forward to our return!
