Adorable Cottage, Perfect Stay

Cozy Retreat in Rockport TX

This property was perfect. It exceeded my expectations by providing a well appointed kitchen. Spacious bedrooms and beautiful shower. I loved the modern renovation of the kitchen with the high ceilings that opened up the living space. I walked to downtown Rockport and the beach park. One of my favorites and I will return.

Rockport getaway

The cottage was exactly as pictured and spotless. The neighborhood was quiet and the outdoor patio was a delight for breakfast in the morning or relaxing by the gas fire pit at night. Tricia provided excellent communication before and during our visit to ensure we had everything we needed for the beach and to enjoy our stay. When our arrival was delayed due to weather, she even picked up some breakfast items for us so we had something the next morning. Southern hospitality at its finest.

Trip from Pflugerville,Texas

Our trip to Rockport was enhanced by the beautiful setting of this property. Just minutes from the water, this home is quaint, and well appointed in every aspect. On arrival, all is in pristine condition and it's obvious the host pays attention to the details! Beds in each room were very comfortable. Tricia was exceptional regarding her very timely communications. We have visited many homes in Rockport via VRBO, but this has become our new go to place.

Cute little coastal house

This little bungalow has been recently remodeled and was very well equipped. Location is a few blocks from the man made beach/pier area on the bay. It is definitely walkable but you have to cross a couple busy streets to get there. There is a ring camera at the front door and one right inside the back porch door. We only stayed a couple days but it was a nice short stay.

Fun Family Retreat

Wow, we truly enjoyed our stay here. First the neighborhood is cute and quiet, we enjoyed coffee on the front porch every morning and cocktails on the back patio. It's super close to the beach so we even walked one evening as an after dinner stroll. My favorite part was the fully equipped kitchen as we made dinner nightly and the comfortable beds and bedding. It really is such a comfy beach bungalow and we quite enjoyed our 4 days and wish we could have stayed longer. Trish had excellent communication and lovely recommendations for the area. It was my moms birthday and we decorated the little cabana in the back in tiki theme decor which was perfect. Oh and the closer of games and cornhole were a fun bonus as well.
