Casual, comfortable, and delightfully colorful, this Rockport home enjoys a beautiful view of Aransas Bay and the fishing piers along the shoreline. Spend your days boating, fishing, and lounging on the beach nearby and your evenings basking in the balmy weather on the front porch and back deck.
This single-story bungalow sits just across the road from the bay shore, less than a mile south of downtown Rockport's restaurants, bars, shops, and heritage district. Lounge in the sand at Rockport Beach, less than two miles north, or use the public dock about a mile away. The Texas Maritime Museum, the Rockport Center for the Arts, and the Fulton Mansion State Historic Site are also within four miles.
Begin each morning outside on the porch, sipping your first cup of coffee and taking in the views and salty breezes off Aransas Bay. Retreat to the deck and fenced yard after a day of exploration and adventure to sear your fresh catch on the gas grill.
This centrally air-conditioned home is painted in pastel colors, creating a cheerful, inviting atmosphere. Enjoy an open living and dining area with a smart TV, a darling kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a built-in breakfast nook overlooking the bay.

Perfect Get Away!
Property was in excellent condition and clean. We loved the location, across the street from the bay and close to all amenities. Our schnauzer loved the fenced back yard and back porch. We had all the things we needed to cook at home and everything worked! We were impressed of the property and will probably go back. The town’s people were very welcoming and friendly. Beautiful Full Moon the night we left.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Loved that it is very clean and they were very prompt when i couldn't figure out the porch light in the back.There is one thing that i would like added on is to install safety bars in the bath tub. We will gladly stay there again.

Adorable Cottage on the Bay
This is our second time to stay! You can’t beat the location and the home is adorable. My only complaint is the check in/out times are 4pm and 10am! When I requested an earlier check in , the rental service didn’t respond to me until 24 hours later and obviously we were already checked in! Besides that though, we had a wonderful trip for my 65th birthday!!

Weekend Getaway
The inside of the home was quaint and very clean. The front yard was not managed very well. Grass was not cut, weeds were growing and patches of missing grass everywhere. Other homes next door and across the street had yards that were more presentable. The outside of the house could use some TLC.

Cute, close, and comy
Waterfront property with an unobstructed view of the Bay. My Dad has some mobility issues but he was able to make it up and down the front stoop and out the back deck. We cooked half our meals at the house and fished everyday. The house is close to Aransas Pass, on the edge of South Rockport, and easily accessible to and from. I would tell you it’s better, but I want it to be available again next time.
