Thank you Kay for your 5 star review:) We are thrilled to hear you found the place clean and appreciated our communication. Hosting great guests like you makes what we do rewarding. You are welcome back anytime!
Our stay was perfect!!! Grandkids loved fishing off the dock and swimming in the pool. Adults enjoyed sitting on the deck with morning coffee and watching the dolphins swim by in the early morning and late afternoon. We drove to a few beaches during our stay and it was great that they provided beach gear and towels.Access and communication was spot on. Thank you Craig and Jennifer for sharing your beautiful townhome.
This was one of the nicest, most beautifully decorated, and cleanest places we’ve ever rented. Craig was extremely responsive and did a great job of communicating everything we needed to know upfront. The location was conveniently located to everything we needed and offered a relaxing, private corner condo on the end of the building which made sitting on the patio in the evening so nice. We would absolutely stay here again.

The pictures are exactly what you get. This place was amazing. The view was like something you see in movies. Craig and Tracey were excellent host, very attentive and fast at responding no matter what the time of day. I am definitely recommend this place and already looking into booking again for the summer.

This condo was exactly as advertised and more. Made our stay very enjoyable. Very clean, plenty of amenities, great location and amazing hospitality. Would definitely stay there again.

Thank you, Charles for taking time to review our property. I enjoyed communicating with you during your stay, and glad that we exceeded your expectations. The redfish can be finicky during the summer but happy they worked with you;). Fall is the best fishing!!! Come back and see us. All the best, Craig
The rental was clean and well stocked. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Great location to all amenities on the property and conveniently located to the beach, shopping, and dining.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The condo is beautiful, comfortable, and the waterfront location is simply spectacular. The view from the patio is breathtaking, and sitting outside with the cool coastal breeze each morning and evening was one of our favorite parts of the trip. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind.The hook-and-ring game on the patio was so much fun and quickly became everyone’s favorite activity. The highlight of our stay, though, was spotting a baby dolphin swimming right in front of the condo. It was such a special moment and made our trip even more memorable.Another huge bonus is Gabriela’s Seafood Tapas, located just outside the condo community. The atmosphere was wonderful, and every appetizer we ordered was absolutely delicious. The dinner entrées looked incredible as they were served to other tables—we honestly wished we had room to try them! We filled up on the amazing appetizers, so we’ll definitely be back to experience the full dinner menu next time.Between the beautiful condo, peaceful waterfront setting, incredible views, relaxing patio, nearby dining, and unforgettable dolphin sighting, fishing with our fishing guide Sutton, this was one of our favorite getaways. We highly recommend this property and can’t wait to return!

Wow, Jodi!
Thank you for sharing such a detailed and glowing review of your stay. We have smiles the size of Texas on our faces right now. Your kind generosity, open line of communication and wonderful care of our property is what makes people like you so fun to host. We hope to see you all again!
Excellent all around property. Clean and new, easy in and easy out. Perfect location, Great communication with owner. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
Wonderful home and very, very clean! The cleanest Vrbo I’ve ever stayed in. Everything feels new and fresh (the towels, the rugs, the furniture). Two king beds made for great sleeping arrangements (one upstairs and one downstairs). Door lock was tricky when we arrived so we called the owners who responded immediately. They were very kind and helpful. The deck is huge and wraps around the condo. Great view and really nice boat dock. We loved sitting on the porch in the evenings. Very quiet at night. Super close drive to Rockport Beach. Easy parking. We had the best time! Weren’t ready to leave! Will definitely be back!

Thank you for the 5-star review, Hannah! It’s wonderful to know you had such a great stay and enjoyed the porch. The dock/boatslip is great if you ever want to rent a boat which is just a 5 minute board ride away.
Thank you also for your patience with the door lock; the Texas coast humidity can be tough on electronic hardware, so we’ve moved to this specific deadbolt for better reliability. We’re happy we could assist you right away. Hope to see you back in Rockport soon!"
The place was perfect for a girls get away. Beautiful, modern, clean condo. Beautiful view on the patio/balcony. A very special weekend..

I love your title of the review. Glad to know our resident dolphin has a name! Thank you for the kind words and delightful review. We loved hosting you and your family. We are now seeing a trend of older adult children brining their parents to our spot. The 2 king master bedrooms and maneuverability of our condo make it ideal for the older generation. We hope to see you again very soon!
My sister and I and my husband and son stayed here since my brother and his wife were snobirds at an rv park nearby. We enjoyed the area and activities. The condo was beautiful and so thoughtful regarding anything you would need. Highly recommend!!!

Thank you for your kind review, Linda. I am so glad that you were able to take advantage of Rockport's ever expanding list of things to do. I hope the weather was nice enough to spend time at the beach/pool, or use our stand up paddle boards. Saturday's Market days by the beach is always fun for the whole family. We just installed all new patio furniture making the sunsets even more enjoyable. Hope to see you all again!
We truly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful condo. A well-stocked kitchen with everything we needed, very comfortable bedding, and lots of towels made us feel right at home. The host was super helpful with recommendations for local restaurants. We loved having coffee on the porch overlooking the water in the mornings. We’ll definitely rebook in the near future!

Thank you, Julie for being our guest. We have worked so hard to make our place special and are thrilled when people enjoy their stay. Yes, sitting on the patio during the morning hours takes coffee breaks to a new level:) You were a great guest and we hope you return to A Little R & R Coastal Retreat soon, Craig
The condo was beautiful overlooking the water and right next to the pool. Our favorite spot was sitting on the patio just hanging out and listening to music. It was so peaceful and serene. The host gave very clear instructions to get in the home and was very attentive to any questions and concerns we had. We loved it here and we will definitely book here again.
Craig's place is amazing! My husband and I wanted a calm vacay close to the beach & this checked every box. The place was super cute & looked exactly like the pics. Craig was super responsive, proactive, and helpful. The beach was only a 5 min drive and the beach chairs/umbrella were great to have! He just purchased all new outdoor furniture for the patio and it was super comfy Kitchen was well stocked. We will be back again!
We had a very pleasant stay. Condo was clean, nicely decorated and had all amenities needed. Beds were great. It was very quiet during our mid-week stay at this unit. Owner was great to work with, very friendly and extremely prompt on replies. Having a boat slip with easy access to the Bay was so convenient. Local restaurants we tried were all very good. Our favorites were Our Family Kitchen and Cheryl’s Restaurant. Overall extremely pleased with our stay and would stay again. Thanks again to owner Craig for everything!

Julie - Thank you for your kind review. Open line and direct communication with our guests is exactly why we chose to manage our condo ourselves. I am so glad that you found our spot to be perfect for your vacation. Yes, having a boat slip so close to the bay is a huge plus. Next time you come down, try Mickey's in Aransas Pass. They have the best burgers and fries, set right on the water. Hope to see you all again!
