Wonderful small town on the coast
Perfect spot for vacation! If you love smaller towns, you'll love this area! Great art district, close to back with shadow water, and wishing shops. Awesome host! If you plan to do your own cooking, bring spices.

A little fishing trip.
We really enjoyed staying in this condo. It is close to town but not so close that one would have to deal with traffic noise. The private pier is a plus. It’s still under construction, but complete enough to use. Communication with management was good when I called them. However, I sent a message through the VRBO website on a Friday and did not ever hear back from that message before we left. It wasn’t critical, but would have been nice to have received a reply. Overall we enjoyed our week there and will check its availability on another trip.

GREAT BAYSIDE CONDO
What a perfect place to relax and get some fishing in. The condo was as advertised with a great location and private pier. I go to the coast every year to relax after a hard month of work. This condo was the perfect place! It is clean and modern with all that you need for relaxation. It's great for the a couple or a single looking to get away. I'll definitely be back. Thank you!

Exceptional condo and views
We enjoyed our stay at Hootie and the Redfish so much! Views of the water were amazing. Finishes of the decor were high end. Would definitely return. The only cons: only 3 towels and 2 rags provided for 4 night stay, one was dirty although folded up. So, bring extra towels./rags. Also, the bedroom was a bit warm at 70. Would be nice if there was a separate window unit for the bedroom as the A/C doesn’t reach to bedroom well.

Everything was wonderful—communication with host was easy, the condo is lovely, and the back patio/view is unmatched. This was one of our favorite VRBOs ever! We’re already talking about a return trip during whooping crane season.

Getaway place
Great place for a getaway. Pretty quiet. Would have liked the hot tub to stay open longer closes at 8:00 p.m. Pier was nice for fishing. Needs the railing completed. Kids and elderly could lose their balance in the wind and fall off it. Overall good place.

Cozy with a view
Perfect cozy condo, with a private pier. We just walked downstairs and out onto the pier and fished to our heart’s desire. We caught several redfish right from the pier (buy the small mullet bait from Mom’s bait shop in town and cut it into threes) and my husband caught two large redfish: 21 inches! The size of the condo was perfect for us two, but a small family would do well here too. The TV and easychair + couch made for cozy movie nights. The king size bed was wonderful. I loved coffee on the balcony watching the birds fly past. One morning a flamingo flew past…not native to Texas, but pretty cool! The condo was nice and quiet and restful. I enjoyed the site’s hot tub, which was big, clean and nice and toasty. The pool was clean, but since it’s December, too cold for swimming right now. I walked into town from the condo, and the walk was easy and very pleasant. All in all, a relaxing and very quiet stay.

A/C Not Working in Bedroom
I would have given this property a 5 star review except the bedroom was warm. Note in property saying not to turn air conditioner thermostat below 70 or it will freeze up indicating property managers know it is an issue. The real issue is that several ducts/vents have little air flow, most notably in the west facing bedroom. This causes the bedroom to sleep hot and while I am not a a/c technician, the lack of proper air flow to all vents is key contributor to the icing issue. Fix the a/c for a five star review!

Relaxation and fun in Rockport
Our stay at Hootie and The Redfish was very enjoyable. The condo was clean, nicely stocked with snacks and coffee, and a real pleasure to stay at. A big plus was the wonderful patio view into the bay and having a coffee in the morning watching the sunrise. The pool and hot tub were clean and not too busy. Shopping is a short five minute drive away with multiple shops and friendly people. A very peaceful and relaxing trip and we would definitely recommend.

Perfect place for a couple!
This condo was the best we've ever booked. It was super clean and had everything we needed but was not cluttered. The location was perfect, the view from the balcony magnificent, and the pool very nice. The property was quiet during our stay and the staff were all very pleasant and accommodating. Could not have asked for anything more. We will definitely be back!
