Our stay was very relaxing, comfortable and easy. We were using sandpiper as a fishing getaway with the pier just a short distance anyway and it sure was very convenient. We are planning on using the same stay in future uses

We had a wonderful stay! We had everything we needed in the condo, the fishing pier was excellent, we enjoyed some pool time and even played a little tennis. It’s in a great location and is quiet and safe. The condo was well equipped, very clean and the beds were comfortable. Anne went above and beyond to make sure we had everything and was very quick to answer any questions we had. We would definitely recommend this stay to others and look forward to coming back again!

Relaxing Rockport Retreat

Great location with a view of the bay and plenty of room for our group of six (4 adults & 2 kids). The cottage was well equipped with a lovely new kitchen and everything we wanted. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and access to the private pier. The owner, Anne, was quick to respond to our inquiries and check-in/check-out was super easy. A wonderful place to get away to and thank you for having us.

A Short Getaway

Our stay was just what we needed in between Thanksgiving and Christmas! The property was just as the pictures and description showed which is always a plus. We found plenty to do, going to a local theater production, an art show, and Aransas National Wildlife Refuge some of the activities. Great food was found as well, both bbq and fresh seafood. A sweet find for us! National Wildlife Reanf BBQ aeven thclouds
