Family, fishing, and fun!
Charming cottage with pool access, private balcony & boat parking.
This home is located in Coral Reef community less than five miles from
Rockport beach. Balmy sea breezes await on the deck, and a coastal color
palette welcomes you inside. There is plenty of room to park cars and a
boat underneath the home, and a boat washing station is available in the
neighborhood.
The shared pool is a short walk and is great for cooling off. Rockport’s
fishing and restaurants are a short drive.

This inviting home features a light-filled living area, wood floors, and
high ceilings. Unwind into vacation mode in the living room with a 50” flat
screen TV (you will find a tv in each bedroom too) after a fun-filled day
at the beach. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances,
including a French door fridge. Keurig coffee maker, dishes, and plenty of
room to entertain. A kitchen bar and a table that seats six for fresh fish
dinner or a fun night of games with family.
This home sleeps up to eight guests in three good size bedrooms. The master
has a king size bed and en-suite bathroom with tub and shower combo.
The second bedroom has a queen size bed, while the third bedroom has two
twin-over-twin bunk beds for the kids. There is a pack -n- play for the
little one, so no need to bring one. Also, a large dog bed available to
keep pups comfy. Step outside to the spacious deck to enjoy the bay view
and Gulf breeze on the two deck chairs. Baby gate is provided for keeping
the kids or pups safe on the deck. A big gas grill in front of the
expansive carport area.

Rockport is a peaceful beach getaway, not crowded, great fishing, great
food, and local shopping and events. The Texas Maritime Museum and the
Fulton Mansion are 7 miles from your door. Birdwatchers will want to take
their binoculars to the Connie Hagar Cottage Sanctuary within three miles.
Fulton Fishing Pier, Lighthouse Lakes, Goose Island State Park, and Conn
Brown Harbor are all great fishing places and close to the home.
H-E-B and Walmart are a short drive in town, great for stocking up and
fishing supplies.

Things to know:
Dogs are welcome in this home. No other animals are allowed without
specific Vacasa approval. A large dog bed is provided for your furry
friends.

Great place to stay!

We had a family gathering at Castaway Cottage. The house was very clean, had plenty of room for the eight of us, and was located near everything on our list. Our main objective was to see the USS Lexington which was an easy 30 minute drive away. The kids enjoyed the pool, the Gulf beaches (again just a short drive) and riding their skates and skooters around the complex. Thank you for making our time away from home so comfortable! We would book again!

Just wow

sadly, our stay got cut short due to numerous tornado warnings and flooding. The managers of the unit would not give us a refund for the time we were told to leave due to a tornado hitting land. I have been going back and forth about their always changing ‘policy’s’. I think yall at Vrbo should take another look at Vacasa and their properties. If you’re considering a Vacasa rental DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. If you’re forced out by the national weather service they won’t care. They only care about no vacancy. Not your safety.

Family time

It was a very clean, well stocked cottage. Loved it!! Only complaint was that the neighbors two houses away had a very loud party Sat night until 2:30 am. Very hard to sleep. No fault of the VRBO!

Location is great!

Great place, nicely furnished! Grill isn't in good shape so keep that in mind. Would have like to help out upon exit but there was no laundry soap for us to start sheets. We love the location right by the marina!

Cute place, clean

The house is adorable and clean. Bring your own wash rags, as the house was only stocked with one. We had to buy some locally. Bring your own washing detergent. The pool was dirty two days we were there, but was cleaned the last day we were there and were able to enjoy it. I would stay here again! House is conveniently located to Aransas pass and Rockport.

What we were hoping for

Great amenities and accommodation in a beautiful area with a beautiful home. A nice duck pond out back. A distant view of the ocean on the horizon. Quaint and cozy and well located. We enjoyed being able to park underneath. We enjoyed the bunk beds for the kids (and we have 4 under the age of 7). It was overall comfortable and beautiful and there was a nice pool and playground maybe 75 yards walking that was also great for kids.

Great place! Great location for a fishing/boating weekend!

Great place and a great location between Rockport and Aransas Pass. Very nice and clean little neighborhood with a pool. Parking for the boat and truck under the house. Only thing missing is an outlet downstairs to plug in the boat.
