The color of the sunset meets you at the front door and welcomes you into this lovely canal home called Pickled Pirate.
On the lower deck you’ll find the “Flip -flop Repair Shop” room featuring two twin beds and a futon for extra sleeping space. The surfboard and beach-inspired décor will have you dreaming of the days of sun and sea. Adjoining this room is a huge, tiled bathroom with a massive walk-in shower. Down the hall is the second bedroom that showcases a queen-sized bed and gives off an old-world farmhouse vibe with its four-poster bed and quilt in shades of blue and white. The ensuite bathroom brings in the modern touches with the sleek cabinetry pulls and dark turquoise colored tile in the walk-in shower. Both lower-level rooms offer sliding glass door access to the covered patio.
The staircase will lead you up to a large open living, kitchen and dining area your family will surely enjoy. The space combines modern amenities with touches of rustic charm and nautical décor. Relax after a long day of fishing on the leather sofa with electric recline or curl up on the fabric sofa with a good book. The fabric sleeper sofa provides additional sleeping for two guests. The kitchen has all you’ll need to whip up scrumptious vittles for the family. The dining table will seat six and the island can accommodate four more.
The master bedroom is upstairs, and you’ll feel like a king (or queen) when you climb up into this tall king-sized bed. The adjacent bathroom is regal too and features two vanities that are more furniture pieces than cabinetry. You’ll love preparing for the day, or washing away the salt and sand, in the walk-in shower. Experience canal life as you relax in the rocking chairs on the “crow’s nest” you can access through the sliding glass doors of the master.
Hoist the Jolly Roger and set sail for the day from the 66-foot boat dock. When you return with your booty, prepare your day’s catch at the fish-cleaning station that is outfitted with power and water. The neighbors will know you’re no landlubber by the smell of your fish cooking on the available smoker. Wile away the evening on the patio that is stocked with a bar, outdoor fridge and sink. This home also comes with two kayaks for guests to explore the canals around the home.
Rustic charm, old-world accents and modern amenities come together in this home to make a comfortable and inviting place to unwind and enjoy your vacation in Rockport.

Thank you for choosing Miss Kitty's! We are happy to hear you had a great experience at Pickled Pirate! This canal home is definitely hard to beat. We hope you use us again in the near future!
We booked the pickled pirate for a Mother’s Day trip and couldn’t have been happier with our stay! The house is so homey and full of thoughtful features. Our moms made them a selves right at home on the porch and we spend most of the trip laying on the dock with our fishing poles. Perfect home, perfect location!

It means a great deal to us that you felt welcomed and comfortable during your visit.

The home was very clean. It was on the water and it was the perfect getaway. I give the house a 5 Star. I will be renting this home for this year's summer vacation again.
The stay was nice and we enjoyed using the canal for a little crabbing. The only issue we really encountered was that we weren’t able to connect to wi-fi as the name of the network didn’t show up, but that was a minor issue and we would stay again.

Thank you for your review, Paul. We're glad to hear that you found the property clean, well-furnished, and our agents were responsive. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue to improve the guest experience. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Miss Kitty's
Overall a beautiful home with great decorations, however the Air Conditioning is unbalanced and we had to keep the upstairs freezing cold to have the downstairs bedrooms comfortable. but as hot as it was the extra cool was not bad. I would stay again.
The house was awesome. Clean and well-appointed. The kitchen has numerous pots and pans plus specialty cookware. Everything was in working order. Management was swift to respond with answers and solve problems. The property is halfway between Port A and Rockport—gated and fenced yard for pets. The dock has underwater lights for fishing at night. This property is a great value and the management team is first-class. This will be a regular rental for my family in the future.

We had to be relocated to another house! The A/C did not work, there were roaches in the kitchen/dinning area, and to top it off, we were met by a dead frog as we walked through the front door.
We stayed 6 weeks. Only one TV out of 4 works.
One Kayak has a 2 inch hole in the bottom The other one the straps are broken. The microwave has considerable rust inside. The rug is really dirty.
We notified the property manager of our concerns, the first few days we were there. We were told that they would
We rented the home for 3 nights (little over $1200.00) and we got one towel and wash cloth per person for the entire trip, I paid the same rent each night but could not get a clean towel and wash cloth for each day. everything was over regulated, trash bags, dishwashing soap etc. prime example of a company running off dollars to save a dime! extremely disappointed in the lack of supplies! I will stay in a Hotel before I will stay with Miss Kitty's again!!!!

Loved almost everything about this place! The only downside we had was the driveway was a little smaller than expected and the yard was full of sticker burrs for the dog.

We will be back later in the year when it is not quite so hot. We will use Miss Kitty's but will go for a different location (only because we like trying different things). The Pickled Pirate is a great property! Your team members were polite, efficient and knowledgeable. Very easy to work with.

The house was a great location - and great layout - it was great! And we had plenty of time to sit around and check everything out since it rained 100% of the time we were there! :). Super comfy reclining couches, nice tvs in every room, well stocked kitchen to hunker down and cook, great covered patio downstairs to sit and watch the rain while having a beer... Will definitely come back - hopefully for some actually fishing and sun!
