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, Craig

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 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!

Fantastic Fishing Trip in Rockport

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!

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.

Relaxation at its best and all the rest!

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!

Last Minute Booking

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.

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.

This place is a great place to revitalize your soul, as there is absolutely nothing that one could complain about.
