This was one of the nicest, most beautifully decorated, and cleanest places we’ve ever rented. Craig was extremely responsive and did a great job of communicating everything we needed to know upfront. The location was conveniently located to everything we needed and offered a relaxing, private corner condo on the end of the building which made sitting on the patio in the evening so nice. We would absolutely stay here again.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a real pleasure having you stay with us. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the layout of the condo—that end unit definitely offers a nice bit of quiet for the patio in the evenings.
We take a lot of pride in keeping the place clean and well-decorated for our guests, so I’m happy to know that stood out to you. You’re welcome back anytime you’re headed this way again. Safe travels!"
Best,

The pictures are exactly what you get. This place was amazing. The view was like something you see in movies. Craig and Tracey were excellent host, very attentive and fast at responding no matter what the time of day. I am definitely recommend this place and already looking into booking again for the summer.

The rental was clean and well stocked. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Great location to all amenities on the property and conveniently located to the beach, shopping, and dining.

Thank you, Charles for taking time to review our property. I enjoyed communicating with you during your stay, and glad that we exceeded your expectations. The redfish can be finicky during the summer but happy they worked with you;). Fall is the best fishing!!! Come back and see us. All the best, Craig
Excellent all around property. Clean and new, easy in and easy out. Perfect location, Great communication with owner. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
Wonderful home and very, very clean! The cleanest Vrbo I’ve ever stayed in. Everything feels new and fresh (the towels, the rugs, the furniture). Two king beds made for great sleeping arrangements (one upstairs and one downstairs). Door lock was tricky when we arrived so we called the owners who responded immediately. They were very kind and helpful. The deck is huge and wraps around the condo. Great view and really nice boat dock. We loved sitting on the porch in the evenings. Very quiet at night. Super close drive to Rockport Beach. Easy parking. We had the best time! Weren’t ready to leave! Will definitely be back!

Thank you for the 5-star review, Hannah! It’s wonderful to know you had such a great stay and enjoyed the porch. The dock/boatslip is great if you ever want to rent a boat which is just a 5 minute board ride away.
Thank you also for your patience with the door lock; the Texas coast humidity can be tough on electronic hardware, so we’ve moved to this specific deadbolt for better reliability. We’re happy we could assist you right away. Hope to see you back in Rockport soon!"
The place was perfect for a girls get away. Beautiful, modern, clean condo. Beautiful view on the patio/balcony. A very special weekend..

I love your title of the review. Glad to know our resident dolphin has a name! Thank you for the kind words and delightful review. We loved hosting you and your family. We are now seeing a trend of older adult children brining their parents to our spot. The 2 king master bedrooms and maneuverability of our condo make it ideal for the older generation. We hope to see you again very soon!
Great stay! Super clean, comfortable and quiet. Pool right next to condo. Great location. Great communication. Lots of extras.

Thank you for your kind review, Linda. I am so glad that you were able to take advantage of Rockport's ever expanding list of things to do. I hope the weather was nice enough to spend time at the beach/pool, or use our stand up paddle boards. Saturday's Market days by the beach is always fun for the whole family. We just installed all new patio furniture making the sunsets even more enjoyable. Hope to see you all again!
We truly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful condo. A well-stocked kitchen with everything we needed, very comfortable bedding, and lots of towels made us feel right at home. The host was super helpful with recommendations for local restaurants. We loved having coffee on the porch overlooking the water in the mornings. We’ll definitely rebook in the near future!

Thank you, Julie for being our guest. We have worked so hard to make our place special and are thrilled when people enjoy their stay. Yes, sitting on the patio during the morning hours takes coffee breaks to a new level:) You were a great guest and we hope you return to A Little R & R Coastal Retreat soon, Craig
The condo was beautiful overlooking the water and right next to the pool. Our favorite spot was sitting on the patio just hanging out and listening to music. It was so peaceful and serene. The host gave very clear instructions to get in the home and was very attentive to any questions and concerns we had. We loved it here and we will definitely book here again.
Craig's place is amazing! My husband and I wanted a calm vacay close to the beach & this checked every box. The place was super cute & looked exactly like the pics. Craig was super responsive, proactive, and helpful. The beach was only a 5 min drive and the beach chairs/umbrella were great to have! He just purchased all new outdoor furniture for the patio and it was super comfy Kitchen was well stocked. We will be back again!
The property is centrally located in Rockport in a beautiful, well-maintained condo complex. It’s an end unit, so has an extra large patio to enjoy! Steps to the pool, and your own boat dock in front, where you can watch dolphins. This spacious condo has been meticulously updated, and the included amenities were much appreciated! Beds and all linens were incredible!Communication with the hosts was stellar. We had a small issue and it was addressed immediately. We plan to go back in the fall and enjoy this fabulous gem again!Thank you, Craig & Tracy!!

It’s great to know the boat dock and dolphin views added to your experience, and we’re especially grateful for your kind words about the beds, linens, and our communication. We’re so glad we could quickly resolve the small issue for you.
We would be delighted to welcome you back this fall! Thank you for choosing our property, and we look forward to hosting you again.
Best regards,
Craig
We had a very pleasant stay. Condo was clean, nicely decorated and had all amenities needed. Beds were great. It was very quiet during our mid-week stay at this unit. Owner was great to work with, very friendly and extremely prompt on replies. Having a boat slip with easy access to the Bay was so convenient. Local restaurants we tried were all very good. Our favorites were Our Family Kitchen and Cheryl’s Restaurant. Overall extremely pleased with our stay and would stay again. Thanks again to owner Craig for everything!

Julie - Thank you for your kind review. Open line and direct communication with our guests is exactly why we chose to manage our condo ourselves. I am so glad that you found our spot to be perfect for your vacation. Yes, having a boat slip so close to the bay is a huge plus. Next time you come down, try Mickey's in Aransas Pass. They have the best burgers and fries, set right on the water. Hope to see you all again!
A Little R&R Coastal Retreat is beautiful and exceed our expectations! We loved the 2 master suites (although the upstairs master is a jack & jill style) which was perfect for two couples traveling together. The condo is so convenient, located right next door to the pool and they have all new furniture which was a welcome surprise. We took long walks to the beach and found the cutest boutique "Lady Captain" where we shopped. They had 2 paddle boards which we use to paddle down the canals. So much fun, we will definitely return!
We were wanting to finish our Texas vacation by the beach, but couldn't decide where. When we finally picked this location it was the same day we needed to check in. I accidentally booked this location starting the next day. I reached out to the property manager and received a response instantly. I was able to finish with my daughter's dance competition in Dallas. As soon as it was fixed, she reached out to me and I was able to process the payment. We had a place to stay for the evening. The place was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the customer service was great. It was so nice to have help right away. We thought we were going to have to get a hotel for the evening.

Thank you, Stephanie for your kind words. I’m so glad that we were able to accommodate you at a moments notice. We enjoyed having your family and we hope to host again soon!
Beautiful, peaceful and immaculate are three words that come to mind about our recent visit! This condo’s host absolutely nailed it with absolutely every detail regarding their rental. The condo has everything you could possibly think of needing while staying on top of all the extras! The atmosphere is fresh, clean and absolutely charming. There’s nothing better than waking up and enjoying a wonderful cup of coffee on their beautiful porch overlooking the water! This place is a great place to revitalize your soul, as there is absolutely nothing that one could complain about. The bedrooms are beautiful, gorgeously decorated, and the bathrooms are roomy and well appointed. The kitchen has everything you need as well to cook a great dinner after exploring the Texas coastal cities! We will definitely be back and won’t stay anywhere else!!!
