About this property

HGTV's Beachfront Bargain Hunt on the water in Rockport

There are many things that make our condo in Rockport, Texas special. Best, it is a place for peace and quiet. We enjoy sharing the condo with guests - and are fortunate to have many return - who relax and appreciate a calm getaway. This peaceful place was featured in a 2015 episode of HGTV's Beachfront Bargain Hunt (Redemption in Rockport, Texas, season 8, episode 9). It is a well-decorated, 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo up a flight of stairs (no elevator) on the second floor with a 40-foot balcony overlooking Aransas Bay. There is a swimming pool, and finding a fishing spot is as easy as walking across the street. The condo is fully stocked with just about everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. Thanks for taking an interest in the condo and showing respect to our neighbors by keeping it a quiet and relaxing spot during your stay. Sorry, we do not host loud gatherings.

Our Host Tim was top notch. Great view from the second story deck. The area was peaceful and pleasantly landscaped with fair maintenance. The parking was sufficient if not hosting many guests. The condo was clean with plenty of hot water and great air conditioning. Very comfortable beds. Everything you could reasonably need was available. Two flights of stairs to the condo had motion lights to help see the way at night, the handrails could use just a bit of cleanliness attention where birds have been staying rent free and uninvited. Very comfortably furnished condo - I would rent this one again in the future.

Thank you sir! It was great to have you and we’re glad your stay worked out so well. Rockport and that area of the coast is so good. You mention the AC; we had a new central unit installed just before your stay. The view was enhanced by all new windows. Next are the sliding-glass doors and also a new refrigerator. Happy you enjoyed it all and we look forward to your return to the Rockport area. Safe travels!

This is our 4th summer in a row to stay at this condo. Tim is a wonderful host. The condo is comfortable and cozy with gorgeous views of the bay. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and meal prep. On site laundry is convenient, especially for families with kids. The pool is spacious and clean and the pier is great for fishing or just taking a leisurely stroll. The Rockport/Fulton area is our favorite coastal getaway!

It was a great location and very quiet, easy check in. The owner Tim was very responsive to our questions quickly and without any delay.. You have to go to the office to get a form to access the pier and get a code at the time of check in if you want to fish or walk to the end of the pier.

About the host

Hosted by Tim

Host profile image
We love traveling and seeing the world. For our weekend getaways when we're not taking off on the big jet plane, we head to the Texas Gulf Coast. We have a wonderful condo right along the water that we love to share!

Why they chose this property

We feel lucky to have found this condo. It gave us a thrill when we were invited to tell the story of how we fell in love with it on an episode of HGTV's Beachfront Bargain Hunt. Now that the cameras are gone, the thrill remains! It's our place to entertain friends and spend time with our grandchildren.

What makes this property unique

When we leave our job in the big city, we try to leave the office in plenty of time to get on that 40-foot balcony for an evening of cool breezes and sharp refreshments. Throw in some fresh seafood from Alby's - they serve it from right off the boat - and our condo is tough to beat. Wake up the next morning to a quick cup of fresh coffee and one of the most brilliant sunrises you'll ever see!
