More than expected. We will be back. The view of St Andrew Bay and the adjoining fields was unexpected. We could watch the sunrise in the morning as well as the arrival of a multitude of birds including roseate Spoonbills, many egrets, gulls, terns and to cap it off a flock of Whooping cranes in the pond next door. It’s a birder’s paradise all in one place. Lot of unexpected amenities in the cabin. We enjoyed it very much.

Weekend Getaway

This was our first time staying at Goose Island Flats and it will not be our last. We hope to become regulars for our weekend getaways here. You couldn’t dream up a better view. It was best of both worlds with the peace and serenity of Mother Nature and the city activities just over the bridge. Tim and Melissa did a wonderful job of making us and our fur babies feel right at home. I will recommend this location to my friends and family for their coastal getaways!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Milligan

Host profile image
My husband and I moved from the Texas Hill Country in January of 2023. We love living on the coast with daily opportunities to enjoy fishing or boating or watching the great diversity of birds and other wildlife in the area. The sunrises and sunsets, the peaceful pasture around our property, and the warm summer breezes are amazing.

Why they chose this property

It was love at first sight when we drove into our neighborhood! Our property is across the bridge from Rockport in the community of Lamar. We are 10 minutes from everything needed, but away from all the traffic and noise. You really can't beat our location, just a 5-minute walk from St. Charles Bay where cows graze with a waterfront view.

What makes this property unique

We love our unobstructed water views, pasture land all around, oak trees and palm trees sharing space and providing beautiful sea breeze sounds. Sightings of Whooping Cranes and other coastal birds all day long will tempt any avid bird watcher or nature photographer.
