Great location, close to the Rockport & Aransas beaches & Corpus Christie. We enjoyed both beaches & The Texas State Aquarium. The Sunshine Cottage was our home away from home for a week. We crafted, played games, & loved our time there as a family.
This lovely house is in a great location & has a wonderful backyard for hanging out once dinner is over. Very easy to check in & out. Beautiful property. Would definitely stay here again.
This was the perfect house for a family, everything you could possibly need was provided for. It was beautifully clean and comfortable. Perfect location for everything from shopping and dining, to fishing. 5 STARS!! Would absolutely stay here again!
Great location, great home. There was ample space for our group. The cleanliness of the property was top knotch. The beds were comfortable. Looking forward to another trip soon.
House was very clean and in a great location. Many amenities for infant and young children. We will definitely recommend this place away from home! Thank you Roger!
House was perfect, little more than we needed, wife and mother unable to come due to illness. Planning to go back would love to have same house. Location was perfect
We really enjoyed the property. The location was very convenient - close to Rockport beach, restaurants and various other attractions. The house was cheery and clean with a well organized kitchen and lots of beach stuff, including umbrella, chairs, towels, toys and boogie boards. Great property for kids!! We would certainly stay at Sunshine Cottage again and recommend it to our friends. that visit the area.
This place was perfect! The host thought of everything! Literally! Beach toys, towels, chairs, gear - all available so no need to waste car space bringing your own. So many games for kids of all ages. Plenty of kitchen gadgets, large dining table, lots of seating, soft towels…. The location was perfect also. I can’t wait to visit again!
We could not have been more pleased with the condition, floor plan, amenities and location of this wonderfully kept home! We enjoyed exploring all that Aransas County had to offer. We could not have had better hosts than Roger and Rene. They were great at communicating with us and the home had everything we might need for our 17 day stay!
This is the closest location to the beach we have stayed yet. The house was nicely decorated, and had plenty of room, considering my parents stayed as well. Our boys enjoyed the backyard activities, including washers, football, & the obstacle rope. The entire family had a blast. 10/10 would stay again!
I stayed with my husband and two small kiddos. It had everything we may want to make it a comfortable stay. They even had two white noise machines for the kiddos and a booster for the chair. The host was very responsive to all my questions and I would definitely recommend this place to a friend.
We spent 2 months in Rockport. The house met all our needs. The location was ideal for our needs. We found the house very comfortableWe were so glad to be about a block from the bay.Our host Roger was very easy to contact for questions. Getting into the house was easy. Checkout was simple.Would recommend the house for family use. It was in a safe peaceful area of Rockport. Will stay again.
Everything was great Cottage located in an area close to everything Plenty of space inside and beautiful outdoor Because it was a girls getaway our only complaint was no curtains on back door since property not fenced off felt someone could walk on property and we could be seen while sitting at dining table and walking around at night but other than that I would recommend the Cottage to others
This home was perfect for our family trip to Rockport! The location is fantastic — it’s a very short drive to the beach, HEB, etc. We really appreciated that the house had kids’ gear, including children’s silverware, beach toys, a small bathroom step stool, and a swing in the back yard. (Our toddler was too young for the jungle gym line in the back yard, but I’m sure bigger kids would love that!) The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to our cook meals, and the layout worked really well for us. We will definitely return if we have the chance!
We had an amazing time here my family loved it the house had everything we needed even beach items like chairs and beach toys for my grandkids..I would definitely recommend it and hopefully we can stay again..perfect spot!!
We loved this house and will definitely be back. Location is great for fishing, shopping, and more. Only complaint would be that the fridge and freezer smell “fishy” but I guess that’s to be expected in a fishing town. I bought baking soda to try to freshen it up but no luck.
I have been coming to Rockport for 12 years and this is one of the best houses I have stayed at. Is is very clean great location large showers hot water great a/c. Will definitely be a repeat customer
