Location,Location,Location, Cute Cabins. Walking distance to fine restaurants and taverns. Also fishing from shore and pier. Lots of things to do in the area.
The cabin was clean and comfortable. Walking distance to restaurants bars and the fishing pier. We had a minor issue with the remote control not working and the owner quickly came to try to resolve the problem.
The unit was exactly what I was looking for. It is located in a nice neighborhood that is within walking distance to the pier and close to grocery and laundry
It was good for a short R & R vacation. Photos make the Fulton Pier seem a lot closer than it really is for someone wanting to walk but cannot go far distances. Cottage was nice with everything needed and area is very nice, calm and relaxing which is what I wanted.
Charming cottage. Location to water and restaurants excellent. I worked remote so required reliable WiFi. By adding a WiFi booster, I had reliable WiFi except for two days when I had to use hotspot.
Cottage was very cute and cozy. Perfect for 2 people. It’s in a great location, property is well maintained and we had a great time over the weekend. Would definitely refer friends and family to stay here.
The overall place was very cute and quiet, which was what we wanted, to be away from all the party crowd. This is exactly the place if privacy and quiet is what you're looking for. Quick tip for anyone looking to cross the fairy to Port Aransas. When we got to the fairy at 11:30 am, the wait time was 45 mins. we decided to drive toward Corpus Christy to the South side, which was quicker than waiting for the fairy. After a day in Padre Island, we took the fairy back into Rockport, which was quick, only 30 minute wait time and quick to cross.
We enjoyed the cottage stay and will return in the future. Our only sad part was on the last evening. We did not have good wi-fi connection. We were trying to watch a movie, which kept stopping every 2 minutes. I think everyone was on the same connection which slowed down eventually. This isn't a bad thing if you're on vacation, we weren't upset. We were happy to find such a cute place.
Property is small, bed was comfortable. Reviews were spot on. Great for two people doing a short stay. Property was well equipped with toilet paper, paper towels, hand and dish soap. Coffee and filters.
Always clean. Stayed here before and love the cottage and location.

Weather
We were forced to checkout a day earlier due to the flash floods in Rockport. The cottage was at the verge of receiving flood water when we were forced leave around 11am. I will request a reimbursement for that day lost as a result of the weather.
Mesquitos very bad, could not open door or go to vehicle without getting swarmed with them. Parking not good for cottage #5, the Palm, especially if you have a truck. Sofa sleeper very uncomfortable, definitely not meant for taller people as far as shower, toilet, and beds. Bathroom way too small. Probably ok for petite shorter people. It looks nice and clean inside and there were plenty of dishes and towels. There is a burner missing from the stove. Window AC worked well. Outdoor Grills were not clean and still had old bucket of charcoal sitting around.

The owners & manager were easy to communicate with & met my every need,. It was perfect, and my cats especially enjoyed the big tree in the deck. I liked there were outlets on the deck so I could charge my phone while relaxing. Peaceful surroundings, close to everything, especially the water & birds. I will recommend this place to family & friends!
My husband and I stayed at The Palm over Labor Day. The cute little cottage was extremely clean and comfortable. It actually is 1/2 of a twin which I didn’t realize. It was small but had everything we needed for 2 nights. It’s nicely decorated, has a huge refrigerator, coffee & cream was supplied which was a nice touch. There is a huge deck right outside this cottage, but unfortunately due to mosquitoes we weren't able to use it. Be sure to bring bug repellent! The cottage is within walking distance to the water, restaurants and other businesses. There is no real beach here, but the Rockport Beach is only a couple miles away and its quite nice. There also a nice H-E-B grocery store nearby. Parking outside the cottage is tight. The weekend we were here there were several large pickup trucks (including ours) and getting in and out was tricky.
