Island-Style Waterfront Home w/ Deck & Private Pier - Winter Texans Welcome
The Purple Beach House
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Perched on the serene waterfront of Salt Lake, “The Palms” is a dreamy 3BR/2BA coastal retreat. Fully renovated interiors are furnished in a colorful style and have plenty of natural light. Highlights include a gourmet kitchen, vaulted ceilings, designer light fixtures, and new floors.
Lounge on the breezy back deck with family and friends or stroll along the private pier out to the water. Just 6 miles away, soak up the sun at Rockport Beach.
LIVING AREA
Expansive windows and French doors offer stunning views of Salt Lake -- unwind in the inviting living room, replete with beachy decor and two sofas around the 50” smart TV with DVD player (Spectrum high-speed internet included).
KITCHEN & DINING
Whip up home-cooked meals in the gourmet kitchen, outfitted with sparkling granite countertops, upgraded appliances, and a tile backsplash. Convenient gadgets include a blender, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, and wine fridge.
When it’s time to eat, gather at the table with place settings for six.
BED & BATH
This one-story cottage sleeps up to six guests in the three bedrooms.
The tranquil primary bedroom offers a stately queen bed and seamless access to the back deck. The en-suite bathroom features a sleek vanity and a walk-in shower with subway tile.
The sunny second bedroom has a plush queen bed and coastal décor, while the third guest room has a full bed and aquamarine accents.
A full guest bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower with subway tile.
OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES
Take in views of Salt Lake on the expansive outdoor deck, offering seating for 10.
Your waterfront paradise includes a private pier with two benches, two boat cleats for docking, and a fish cleaning area. Kayakers can conveniently access the water via a ladder on the pier, while fishermen will appreciate the green fishing light at the end of the pier.
Fire up the grill for the fresh catch of the day.
Kick back and relax on the two rocking chairs on the front porch.
EXTRA PERKS & MORE DETAILS
A laundry room with a washer/dryer, complimentary Spectrum high-speed Wi-Fi, and beach chairs are provided.
Parking is available for three vehicles in the driveway.
LOCATION
Find Rockport Beach within a quick 12-minute drive; wade, boogie board, and sunbathe at the first beach in Texas to receive the Blue Wave eco-endorsement. Geocache, go boating, and observe wildlife at Goose Island State Park.
Visit the Fulton Mansion, a national historic site and one of the earliest examples of Second Empire architecture constructed in Texas.
