Lovely house and property. They've thought of the extras and communication with the host was fast, friendly, and thorough each time. We loved the outdoor TV, the dock, and the heated pool.

Good times with old friends.

What a great place to stay!! From the balcony to the swimming pool, to the fishing pier, what a view. Four old friends wanted to find a place to stay, kick back, and fish for a few days. Luckily we came across Sunshine Retreat via the internet. Sunshine Retreat met all our criteria. We found the home to be clean, well maintained. The kitchen was well furnished with utensils and appliances. Thank you Kristen for sharing beautiful vacation home.

Bday fish trip

House is great! Host was excellent to communicate with as well. Only complaint was we had a few old water bottles from prior guests on the floor in the master & bedding in master had a strange smell, not a clean smell. Aside from that, everything else was great.

Relaxing Trip

We'd visited Rockport in the summer, but never in the winter. The owner was very responsive throughout our trip, from booking to check-out. The house was spotless when we arrived, and we appreciated the welcome snacks. The kitchen was well-stocked with seasonings, pots, and utensils. We weren't sure if the heated pool would be worth it, but it definitely was! My family and I enjoyed watching the football games while relaxing in the pool. Overall, it was a great spot for a relaxing weekend getaway.

Perfect!

Sunshine Retreat was most definitely a treat and retreat. We were able to book last minute for family Thanksgiving. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils and cookware we needed to cook a feast as well as seasonings. The sunset views were show stoppers, beds were very comfortable. It was a cold windy few days but the home was cozy and already decorated for Christmas. We will definitely return!

Great place to stay!

We loved staying a the Sunshine Retreat. The house was clean and fully stocked with household items. It felt like we were at home. We loved the privacy and access to water. Kids loved being able to fish and swim. There were snacks for us and a special present we were happy to take home with us. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home. Look forward to coming back.

Amazing house and hosts!

Our family loves Sunshine Retreat for the memories we make here each summer. The house is always immaculately clean and we always have everything we need during our stay there. We literally just pack our clothes and go! A quick stop at the local H-E-B and we are all set for fun. The pool is awesome, the dock is great to fish under the lights at night, and the internet and tv keep everyone happy when it’s time to relax inside. Overall, a great place to enjoy time with family!

About the host

Hosted by Kristen

Rockport is my happy place, and I love to spend time swimming and fishing here. I enjoy sharing it with guests so they can do the same with their family and friends.

Why they chose this property

Our family loves to spend time swimming and fishing here, Rockport is our happy place. We are excited to share it with guests to have the same experience with their family and friends.

What makes this property unique

There is something for everyone, whether it is swimming, fishing, bird watching, or relaxing on the porch watching the sunset. You are four miles to Fulton Mansion and restaurants and five miles from the downtown shopping on S. Austin street. When you have finished exploring the shops, try one of the local restaurants or local winery in this area. The Rockport Beach, Little Bay, Rockport Harbor, and the festival grounds are less than six miles.
