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.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a real pleasure having you stay with us. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the layout of the condo—that end unit definitely offers a nice bit of quiet for the patio in the evenings. We take a lot of pride in keeping the place clean and well-decorated for our guests, so I’m happy to know that stood out to you. You’re welcome back anytime you’re headed this way again. Safe travels!" Best, Craig

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!

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!"

Fantastic Fishing Trip in Rockport

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!

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!
