Everything you need for a relaxing visit to Rockport. Easy access to nearby restaurants and groceries. Flowers Shrimp Market on Church St is nearby as well as Rockport Beach. Our host, responded quickly to questions we had and answered them completely. The house is roomy. Beds very comfortable. All the utensils you need for to prepare a feast. Sunshine Cottage did not disappoint.
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!!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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

It makes us so happy that you and your group enjoyed our property. We can't wait for you to come back, you were a joy to host!
Great place, lots of space. Kid friendly. If the property had a privacy fence it would have been all that more great.

Glad your kids enjoyed themselves. Our boys love being there and always have such a great time. Since we are a new build we are still working on projects, a privacy fence is definitely on our list!
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
Roger communicated everything well and answered questions quickly. Check in was simple and house was ready when we arrived. Kitchen was stocked with everything but the food. There were plenty of towels and washcloths, cleaning items were available. Beach items (towels, wagon, kids toys, chairs) were supplied. Check out was simple, basic cleanup , leave dirty linens out, run the dishwasher. Absolutely loved the house and could easily see 2 sets of adults and 2-4 kids staying here. The only reason we wouldn't stay here again is that the local beach is perfect for families with young children, shallow with small, if any, waves. My wife want's to listen to the waves so in the future we will probably stay in Port Aransas.
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!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay in or home. Come back any time!
This place is so so cute. It’s everything they said it would be. They are super responsive and everything you need is in the house. The location is great too. We had a really good time and everything was perfect. Would definitely stay here again.
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 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.
The owner has kept this property in perfect shape and we enjoyed it thoroughly. He went the extra mile with the house and it’s amenities. We look forward to returning in the future.

We are so happy you enjoyed our home. We hope your family enjoyed their time there as much as we do. We hope to have you back again real soon!
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!
