Castaway Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This brand-new home is located less than five miles from Rockport Beach. Balmy sea breezes await on the deck, and a coastal color palette welcomes you inside. There's plenty of room to park a boat underneath the home, and a boat washing station is available in the neighborhood. The shared pool is a short walk from home, and Rockport's eclectic culinary scene is within easy driving distance. Stop in at Irie's Island Food after an afternoon spent wandering the iconic Fulton Manson.

This inviting home features a light-filled living area with all-new furnishings, wood floors, and high ceilings. Unwind into vacation mode on a comfy sofa and two armchairs. Watch your favorite shows on the 50” flat-screen (you'll find three Smart TVs throughout the home) after a fun-filled beach day. Whip up tasty home-cooked meals in the sleek kitchen, outfitted with a full suite of new stainless steel appliances – including a French-door fridge. While dinner simmers, three can keep the chef company at the kitchen bar. The dining area seats six to enjoy your culinary creations.

This home sleeps up to eight guests in three peaceful bedrooms, all with new mattresses. Find a king-size bed in the primary bedroom. The en-suite master bathroom has plenty of natural light and a new tub/shower combination. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed, while the third guest room has two twin-over-twin bunk beds. Another sparkling tub/shower combination rounds out the guest bathroom.

Step outside to the spacious deck to enjoy the bay views and Gulf breeze. Find a gas grill next to the expansive carport area. Coral Reef's shared pool and boat washing station are a few short blocks from your door.

From sun-soaked beach days to mansion tours, Rockport promises a Gulf getaway with something for everyone. The Texas Maritime Museum and the Fulton Mansion are within 7 miles of your door. Arrive at Beautiful Rockport Beach in an easy drive. Birdwatchers will want to take their binoculars to the Connie Hagar Cottage Sanctuary within three miles. Pirates of the Bay Charters offers fishing trips four miles away, or you can drive a short distance to cast a line from the Fulton Fishing Pier.

Great place to stay!

We had a family gathering at Castaway Cottage. The house was very clean, had plenty of room for the eight of us, and was located near everything on our list. Our main objective was to see the USS Lexington which was an easy 30 minute drive away. The kids enjoyed the pool, the Gulf beaches (again just a short drive) and riding their skates and skooters around the complex. Thank you for making our time away from home so comfortable! We would book again!

Family time

It was a very clean, well stocked cottage. Loved it!! Only complaint was that the neighbors two houses away had a very loud party Sat night until 2:30 am. Very hard to sleep. No fault of the VRBO!

Just wow

sadly, our stay got cut short due to numerous tornado warnings and flooding. The managers of the unit would not give us a refund for the time we were told to leave due to a tornado hitting land. I have been going back and forth about their always changing ‘policy’s’. I think yall at Vrbo should take another look at Vacasa and their properties. If you’re considering a Vacasa rental DO NOT RENT FROM THEM. If you’re forced out by the national weather service they won’t care. They only care about no vacancy. Not your safety.

Location is great!

Great place, nicely furnished! Grill isn't in good shape so keep that in mind. Would have like to help out upon exit but there was no laundry soap for us to start sheets. We love the location right by the marina!

Cute place, clean

The house is adorable and clean. Bring your own wash rags, as the house was only stocked with one. We had to buy some locally. Bring your own washing detergent. The pool was dirty two days we were there, but was cleaned the last day we were there and were able to enjoy it. I would stay here again! House is conveniently located to Aransas pass and Rockport.

What we were hoping for

Great amenities and accommodation in a beautiful area with a beautiful home. A nice duck pond out back. A distant view of the ocean on the horizon. Quaint and cozy and well located. We enjoyed being able to park underneath. We enjoyed the bunk beds for the kids (and we have 4 under the age of 7). It was overall comfortable and beautiful and there was a nice pool and playground maybe 75 yards walking that was also great for kids.

Great place! Great location for a fishing/boating weekend!

Great place and a great location between Rockport and Aransas Pass. Very nice and clean little neighborhood with a pool. Parking for the boat and truck under the house. Only thing missing is an outlet downstairs to plug in the boat.
