About this property

Make your Getaway to the Coast HISTORIC! Book THE WOOD HOUSE Today!

Welcome to The 1868 R. H. Wood House



A true Registered Texas Historic Landmark...The R. H. Wood House, meticulously restored following nearly a 3-year renovation, introduces modern technology & luxury while preserving historical integrity! The son of one of Rockport's founders, Richard Henry Wood (1846-1923) built this home in 1868. It is one of the oldest and most historically important homes in Rockport. Located in Rockport's Cultural Arts District overlooking the Rockport harbor, the property is within walking distance to the beach, restaurants/cafes, shopping, festival grounds, fishing, museums, art galleries and much, much more! Please note that this is NOT a pet friendly home.







The home's preservation work included a sensitive removal of non-historic additions, new foundation, insulation, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and state-of-the-art Smart Home technology. The two-story, 3,324-square-foot home with its gracious 10-foot ceilings sleeps 12 persons comfortably in 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths & 1 half-bath. Mature pecan trees shade the large fenced half-acre property and surround the new heated pool and spa that seats 10. The shallow lounging area is only 12 inches deep, suitable for children of all ages. 







Events/Parties/Extra Guest - This beautiful home is a great place to have small events such as bridal showers and birthday celebrations. When booking this home with plans of having visitors over, you must contact the office to discuss event fees and deposits.    







The outdoor kitchen with covered lounge area was built with reclaimed wood from an old barn in Iowa. It was designed to accommodate large gatherings around the pool, generous pool deck and yard. It is complemented by a wood-burning fireplace which features a Tuscan grill for cooking. This space would not be complete without a full restroom...shower, toilet, antique sink and custom urinal made out of a stainless steel beer keg!







The new adjacent covered parking area and driveway easily accommodates 4 cars and features one of the first electric car charging stations in Rockport. Bring your Tesla or other EV!







Morning coffee to afternoon tea or evening cocktails, the screened in porch is ideal for an insect and mosquito free zone while taking in the birding, wildlife, scenery or a good book. This wrap around porch has comfortable outdoor furnishings and dining area cooled by ceiling fans. The front porch is an excellent spot to watch Rockport's 4th of July and holiday fireworks or to simply watch the morning sunrise over the bay.







For your outdoor entertainment, the home comes with a Sonos Sound system with speakers strategically placed around the pool, yard and inside the house. 







To enhance your stay, the home features a choice of soaps, shampoos, and amenities by EO Products of Marin County, CA.--all sustainable organic products made from essential oils. All beds feature mattresses from Tuft & Needle have reactive foam technology for a very comfortable night's sleep. High thread count sheets and plush towels. Amenities have been carefully thought and provided for a first-class experience.







The Owners employed many green, earth-friendly methods in their work, and also salvaged and re-used as many of the original materials from the home as possible. The furnishings are an eclectic balance of both antiques and art collected by the Owner, with soft comfortable furnishings clad in removable washable slipcovers. The restoration is truly a labor of love.







The modern technologies include wireless internet, thermostatic controls, satellite TV and the electric car charging station. A specially designed high-velocity system provides AC & Heat centrally throughout the home. There are 4 fireplaces downstairs that were carefully restored and made operable with reproduction cast iron gas burning coal inserts. All 4 oak fireplace mantels with mirrors are original to the house.







The Library with table and lounge furniture provides a quiet place to read, assemble puzzles, play cards, board games, work if you must, or simply enjoy the coastal views through the front bay windows. There is also a display case containing interesting artifacts discovered during restoration.







Adjacent to the Library is a bedroom that features an early 1850's rope Tester full-sized bed, fireplace and a closet converted to a half bath featuring an antique corner sink. This bedroom overlooks the pool and has a private door to the screened in porch.







The primary bedroom is home to a stunning antique 9' tall Victorian walnut queen-sized bed that survived the Galveston Hurricane of 1900. AND...the master bath will be a pleasant retreat with its' open shower plan for a luxurious soak in the restored "cowboy" bathtub adjacent to the fireplace.







The dining room showcases the home's original beaded board walls where an antique dining table seats 8-10 comfortably. It is lit by a much talked about chandelier that is made out of old silver spoons.







In our family get-togethers, the kitchen is the main gathering spot. Our kitchen comes with all new top of the line appliances: Kitchen Aid side-by-side refrigerator w/filtered water & ice maker, DW, a four-burner gas stove/oven/microwave combination. Fully stocked with paper goods, coffee, cookwares, utensils and more for your cooking pleasure. With its' 5 foot long antique reproduction sink and wood countertops made from the house's old roof rafters the kitchen is the true heart of this home. The adjacent counter height seating and 'Lounge' area allows us to be part of the action without being in the kitchen. This area can easily accommodate many cooks for any large family meal or event.







The home was originally 1 story with a generous unfinished attic space. The c. 1880 staircase was sourced by the Owner from a house that was being torn down in Commerce, Tx. It was a rare find and once purchased it made the trip to Rockport in several long sections and parts all packed up into the Owner's pickup truck. Viola!







The upstairs space with its exposed antique hand hewn beams is equally as inviting with 2 bedrooms, restroom, walk-in shower, laundry room and TV lounge. At the top of the stairs 2 sliding barn doors to the restroom and laundry room grace the hallway.







The TV lounge was the original attic space at 12' high ceilings with the proper furnishings and dormer window bed creates a quiet respite with a small window view south to the bay.







The North bedroom in the turreted attic space is a favorite of one of the Owner's business partners who are 5'2" tall. This cozy room with low pitched ceilings, queen bed and dormer bed is also a favorite with the kids.







The West bedroom, at the opposite end of hall was added over the kitchen. King bed and 3 cozy twin beds in the dormer windows with seating/reading area was designed with young families in mind.







This home is truly a must-see and must-experience. We are available for small day or night events, small weddings, conferences, retreats or simply a vacation - romantic rendezvous, family reunion or festival stay. The offerings are limitless. On that note, we are also offering concierge services from: airport pick-up, food, drink, private chef, massage, golf carts rentals, bicycles, kayaks, boats, guided fishing trips, to mention a few.

Wonderful home for a family

We had two families with two children each stay at the home. So much space for the children and adults. The weather was rather cold for Spring Break week, but the heated pool was a life saver! The screened in porch shielded the wind and a great place for the adults to hang out and play cards. This was the second time renting the property and we can’t wait to come back!

Incredibly beautiful and Comfortable

What an incredible home! It maintains its historic feel yet the remodeling has made it modern and comfortable. Quiet and cozy. Close to the wharf yet off the beaten path. Great place for a family gathering, wedding, or just a relaxing weekend on the coast to recharge the batteries. Don't forget your swimsuit for the pool and hot tub! I highly recommended this place!!

Beautiful home that was comfortable in every way!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful and well appointed home. The owners have thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable! It was fun just to enter each room and be awed by something, whether a piece of furniture or old pictures on the walls! The spoon chandelier in the dining room is amazing to see. Each day our group was drawn to the relaxing pool! Rockport is a great place to vacation and the R.H. Wood house is an added jewel!

Gorgeous comfortable home base for a family reunion

We were so happy to be able to book the Wood House for our Thanksgiving weekend in Rockport. The owners did a fabulous job on the renovations. We had six adults and the house was perfect for us. The beds are so comfortable I am actually researching the mattresses for our home. We slept well, loved the spa and pool and the Sonos sound system. There is a cute coffee shop literally across the street and Rockport Donuts a short walk away. Zero complaints from start to finish and we look forward to booking again

Family getaway before school starts

This property exceeded our expectations with regards to the cleanliness of the property and the overall decor. Every piece of furniture was comfortable and my kids thoroughly enjoyed waking up to spend all day in the pool. A great destination property for a short family trip. We already have plans to come back again! Thank you for everything to the staff at YKnot property management. They kept us in the loop every step of the way with changes related to the property during our stay. See you soon!

This home is absolutely stunning! I have no negatives. Construction was happening next door, but it never bothered us at all. The pool was clean and a lot of fun for our family to gather and play. We used the hot side once and it was wonderful. Bring your own floaties. Lots of kitchen tools, plates, etc. Everything in working order. Beds so comfortable. It's a gorgeous house. Wish we could've stayed longer!

Amazing home

We wanted to have an intimate wedding with ~50 of our closest friends and family and were looking for a place that was unique and special. The R.H. Wood House was exactly that. The home itself is incredible, the owners have done an amazing job restoring it and putting beautiful, unique touches throughout the home. The backyard is equally as incredible with large spaces and a great pool and hot tub. This home was absolutely perfect for our get together and we hope to return in the future on our anniversary! The communication with the property manager was also seamless. They were there to assist with questions we had, the check-in process was smooth and simple, and they allowed us to have our dream wedding in a dream location.

Wonderful Experience!

Every single thing about this house was thoughtfully and beautifully done! From the fixtures to the amenities, it was all so lovely. The layout was great - so many good gathering spots that people could have space if they needed it. The bedrooms were very comfortable. I have never seen such well-decorated bathrooms, even! We were in the pool every day and loved being able to walk and golf cart around the downtown. Also loved being able to see the wharf from the house. Everything we could have needed for cooking and relaxing was available. We brought our own bocce set and had a tournament on the gorgeous lawn. We also really enjoyed the outdoor sound system while swimming. Cannot wait to stay there again!!

Gorgeous Historical Home

The Wood House was the perfect venue to have my family come to Rockport for the weekend! Every detail of the house is so gorgeous and interesting! There is so much charm and character in this space. We spent most of the time outside and on the screened-in back porch which was very comfortable even in the summer. There was plenty of space both outside and in. The pool was great and very child-friendly. The beds and bedrooms were very comfortable and slept many people. My only complaint was the very cool sink in the upstairs bathroom was not working during our stay so we had go downstairs to brush teeth/wash hands, but it has likely been repaired since then. This would be a great place for a large family getaway, group of couples or a girls' weekend. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Rustically cute

The house is nice, in a good location and my family had a good time. The reason for the lack of more stars is the result of a few things. There was no electricity in one of the bedrooms. A contractor came out into the second day of our stay to look at it and after help from us could not fix the problem and left. The upstairs toilet had to be fixed every time someone flushed it. After all that we were charged $150 upon checkout for popsicles in the freezer, fans being left on and trash in the trash can.

Charming and easy!

We had a family gathering to celebrate my mother at this property and our group consisted of people age 18 months to 67 years. It was fitting for all ages and the pool was a major bonus. We really enjoyed hanging out on the porch and exploring the home's history. I loved the abundance of towels for the multiple pool dips and beach trips, the handy cleaning supplies, the outdoor dining space, and the sleeping nooks to keep the littles safe while snoozing so the parents could enjoy a cold beverage downstairs and outdoors. It was a short drive to the beach (just across the street) and a stroll away from cute beach shopping. The host was responsive and hospitable. The sound system was a real treat and the oldness of the home gave a "haunted" aspect that was fun to spook the kids with (hehe). Our only complaint is that we did not stay longer!! We look forward to coming back next summer! PS If you stay here, make a point to read to guest book and see what you find out about a particularly special guest in the past! ;)

Exceeded our Expectations

Our family of six - three generations ranging in age from 23 to 75 - celebrated our Christmas at the historic Wood House. The house was beautifully decorated for the holiday, including a huge tree and a basket of fresh white poinsettias on the dining room table. Every room had decorations compatible with the house, even the bathrooms had a touch of seasonal decor. We had a fire in the outside fireplace a couple of nights, spent a lot of time on the screened porch, and enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. The avid birders in the family enjoyed Goose Island State Park. We went to dinner at Cheryl's, one of the restaurants mentioned in the house binder, and it was delightful. Also walked down the street to Rockport Donuts which was fun. Unfortunately the cute coffee house across the street wasn't open during our stay. As all other reviewers have commented, the Wood House is absolutely wonderful. We appreciate all the thought, workmanship, and care with which the house has been restored. Our family has made a unique Christmas memory!
