About this property

The Pearl of the Sea

We just renovated our precious little beach house. Now it's just too adorable to not share it with the world. Fun Caribbean colors and mood. 5 min drive to the beach. Close to grocery stores and Walmart. Big fenced back yard for kids and dogs to play in. Boat parking for those who love to fish! Great location for bird watchers! We provide ALL the amenities for you to feel right at home...just bring your swimsuit, binoculars and fishing pole!

Our lovely home features 2 queen beds, one bunk bed. Washer & dryer. 55" TV with cable, Netflix, Hulu - Hulu has HBO MAX & Showtime. Kitchen has a double oven with a glass cooktop - for those who love to cook. Keurig coffee maker. Water dispenser (water refill station at end of the block) and refillable water bottles in case you don't like tap water.

Cleanliness: we also disinfect the home after each guest with an electrostatic sprayer (in addition to cleaning) to help everyone stay healthy!

If you have never been to Rockport then you are missing out! Rockport beach is the only Texas certified beach included in USA Today's annual list of "10 Best beaches." The mile-long Texas Gulf Coast beach was also named a "blue wave" beach by the Clean Beaches Coalition, a network that promotes clean, healthy and well-managed beaches around the world. A Blue Wave Beach is clean, managed responsibly and has a focus on the protection of human health and the environment. Blue Wave Beaches are litter free, have handicap accessibility, public restroom facilities and swimmable waters. Blue Wave is the first environmental certification program for beaches in the nation. It's perfect for kids with a playground and looks like a resort, and complimentary palapas.

Woefully Inadequate

The property was not clean or pet friendly. The yard did not have a “garden spot” but was littered with cigarette butts, construction debris, paint cans, broken pieces of blue plastic from a pail holding ashes from the rusted grill. There was no cable TV as described or basic cutlery, pans, glassware etc

Great beach house

We had a fantastic stay. The location is perfect, our 3 children loved their rooms and the bed was very comfortable for us. The beach is a very short drive away, the property was perfectly clean with plenty of things that you might need. A thoughtful surprise was k-cups with creamer in the fridge, so I didn't have to go buy coffee in the morning. We will definitely stay here again, although it was a perfect size for our family this year with young kids, it will continue to be so as they grow as well.

Bright, well-provisioned house!

We enjoyed this brightly painted house. It was well-provisioned! We got good use out of the kitchen and laundry. It was a comfortable house, we felt very at home here--my kids loved the bunk beds. Our dog liked the yard, too! We would definitely stay here again.

Great location!

The location is fantastic! We are a family of 6 so the 3 bedrooms are great. There's ample space in the living room to hang out and talk or play games after a day at the beach! Only seating for 4 at the kitchen table so the adults stood during dinner, but that's not a big deal. Only downside is there is no dishwasher.

Yard was much larger than expected from the pics. Yea! Host was exceptionally communicative and we were able to trade one favor for another. Bedrooms AC did not cool extremely, but were adequate. Ceiling fans located in two bedrooms, dining and living area, plus stand fan. We were quite comfortable. Location is perfect distance to the beach and downtown. If my family wasnt growing wed be back! 🙂

winter get away stay

It was a first time in Rockport TX and our first time getting out of a northern winter. We stayed mid- January to mid February. The weather wasn't as warm as we had hoped. The house is on a busy and noisy street. We appreciated the fenced in yard for our dog. The neighbor was so helpful for information. A month was too long on the beds. We wished that the windows opened so on the warmer days we could have opened them.

Great House!

Our stay in rockport was great. The pictures don't do this home justice. The front of the home is beautiful. The backyard is huge and very well fenced in. They're is a covered concrete patio area as well. It has 3 chairs and a charcoal grill and access from the kitchen/dining area. Our two small (10lb) Weiner dogs came with us and were not able to escape the fencing. All holes were covered and secured. Sadly rockports main beach area does not allow dogs. The inside of the home was very spacious and colorful. Overall our stay was amazing! Hope to come back soon!

Rockport Goal to catch a bigger fish (10 year) who catches sun perch and to bisSouth Texas Botanical

House was clean inside and out. We gather belongings to go to the beach. The beach umbrella was forgotten. The lock that was locked from inside and we were never advised where this key could be obtain. My grandson looked to find a way in. In this attempt to get in the window pane was broken. We text the property owner. Her reaction was less than help full. We did not catch a bigger fish.We did visit the South Texas Botanical Garden. The owner waited until we left to replace the window pane. Her major concern was potential loss of rentail

What a fun little town!

This place had everything we needed. We got our fix of beach, amazing street tacos, and fresh shrimp, and had the home base with plenty of warm water to wash away the sand, and soft couches and beds to go easy on the sunburn. Be sure to bring along the red chair in the laundry room, it's just perfect for the beach. What a great vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Christina Miller

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Austin and discovered Rockport ourselves just a 2-3 years ago. We had driven to South Padre Island to go to the beach...but it was just too far a drive. We drove to Galveston but found the beaches lacking. We tried Port Aransas, but felt it was a tourist trap. Finally we stayed in Rockport and fell in love! This small town is friendly, quiet and has a lovely stretch of clean beach with complimentary palapas and great fishing. We feel Rockport is Texas's best kept secret!

Why they chose this property

We stayed in Rockport in July 2020 for our very first vacation since Covid-19 started. We had such a peace come over us as we drove across the bridge to our own VRBO rental. We asked ourselves - why don't we look for a place here? We happen to be at the rental during a category 1 hurricane and thought...this is the perfect time to see how houses weathered a storm. Our Pearl of the Sea was sitting there completely pristine, no standing water in the street, no leaks. It had such a happy homey feel - we knew it was meant to be ours. Just needed some brightening up to show off her beauty! It is a great escape from the norm. Excellent change of scenery and mood to reflect, re-charge and reset!
