Secluded and Damn Well Worth It!
We are not fisher people, well there was that one deep sea red snapper trip (highly recommended). We spent most of our days on the beach at Port Aransas. The ferry is a 30-minute drive from this cozy little cabin next to Goose Island State Park (deer and wildlife EVERYWHERE). After a day on the beach, it was nice to get out of the chaotic pace of PA. Thye cabin was just perfect for us. It is comfortable, cute and a bargain. It is a few minutes away from many of the great seafood restaurants in Rockport. WE LOVED OUR STAY AT THE CABIN BY THE BAY!

Great family hideaway
The cabin was a perfect stay for our last minute getaway. Norma was fantastic in answering any questions I had. We arrived and I will say the exterior is older, but has that charm and you go in and it’s just an adorable cabin. I loved the coffee/wine bar. The touches on everything were perfect, from the coffee mugs, to the beach shell lamps. We had everything we needed while we were there. We ventured around Goose Island. Walked to the boat ramps, came across a great deal of wild life. So if you are not used to that, drive, instead of walking. :)

Great cabin at the coast
Well kept cabin that had all the amenities needed. The location is great as the shore is just a short walk away so you can fish, bird watch or just enjoy the coast. Lamar in general is outstanding to see wildlife (deer, turkey and more). Another great benefit is the closeness to Goose Island State Park.

Little peace of the neighborhood
Our stay was fantastic! The cabin is cute, cozy and clean. All the amenities and it was the perfect temperature inside. It was perfect weather and we enjoyed the front porch and sea breeze every evening. Also, very much enjoyed the abundance of wildlife everywhere. Rockport Beach is 15 mins away, so very convenient. Goose island state park and big tree are extremely close and could be walked to if desired. Norma is a fantastic host!! She was so friendly, informative and very helpful. The neighborhood is beautiful and everyone was friendly and helpful too. Will book again!

Perfect weekend getaway to enjoy the coast
My son and I spent the long weekend fishing, hanging out and exploring the coast towns. This place was perfect for our needs, close to the boat ramp, easy access to head to other towns, was extremely clean, organized and the host communicates quickly and effecticely. We have already booked the home again and look forward to our next adventure.

We would like to say thank you to the owners of this property. While it may not look like 5 stars from the outside, once you walk in, you get a feeling of being home… This little house is kept very clean and fresh, it has everything you may need for your stay. The house is also kept very cool during hot Texas months. My husband got to meet the owners of the house, who were very nice and knowledgeable about the area. The state park is nearby and has fishing piers (which we enjoyed a lot), hiking trails (was too hot for that), and other activities. Rockport beach is excellent and is just a short drive from the house.

The Perfect Cozy Cottage
The cabin was wonderful, cozy and clean. The owners are so friendly and helpful and the neighborhood was so peaceful, we really enjoyed our stay,. We brought my mom and brother here for their birthday. Loved that it was so close to Goose Island State Park, we fished until 3 in the morning each night. I would highly recommend this cozy cabin for a peaceful getaway, we hope to come back. Thank you Norma
