Overview of Rockport Vacation Rentals

Why Choose Rockport Vacation Rentals

Rockport and its sister town of Fulton are just to the northeast of Corpus Christi in Texas. They are on the mainland coast, facing San Jose Island across Aransas Bay. The sheltered waterway provides excellent beaches along this lovely coastline, particularly on the barrier islands. Rockport is an established art town with many galleries in the charming downtown area and the Rockport Art Center nearby.

The wetlands and windswept oaks in the area make an attractive natural sight and are the perfect environment for walking, birding and fishing. The Aransas National Wildlife Refuge is an interesting place to visit and has a colony of threatened whooping cranes which visit during the winter months.

Rockport vacation rentals are available in various sizes and locations and ideal for snowbirds, families and groups of friends sharing a vacation. Each individual vacation home rental will have its own charm and character but all homes have comfortable living space with one or more TVs. The well-equipped kitchen is ideal for preparing snacks and drinks. Families requiring special diets, or those who do not want to blow the vacation budget on dining out, will find a vacation rental home the perfect solution.

Families are able to spread out and do their own thing on their own agenda in a spacious vacation home. With plenty of space for grandparents and the family pet, a Rockport vacation rental is the perfect home away from home.
