Charming Casita by the Bay=Pool, Pet, Boat & RV Friendly+ 5 min. to Beach

Welcome to our chariming Casita by the Bay here in Rockport, Texas. Forget all your worries in the world while staying in this spacious and serene guest home that sits on the coastal bend of the Live Oak Peninsula. This gem of a casita will be managed by host/owner who has 13 years experience in the hospitality industry. My undivided attention to your needs will have you coming back again & again. I have a GOLD STANDARD so book with me. Pet, Boat and RV friendly. The Lots of space for everything!! A 50 amp circuit is available for use if bringing your RV or Boat.

The Space
This Casita by the Bay is a rock throw away from Rockport Beach, literally a 5 minute drive to it as well as to H.E.B. and Walmart. Upon arrival you will be treated to the oldest neighborhood and sights of some of the most iconic live oaks in the area.

When you arrive to the property this quaint and cozy casita will check all the boxes ensuring you a very enjoyable stay. The bedroom has a comfy kingsize bed along with an Amazon Fire TV.

The living room has a very large sofa area where you can easliy stretch out to read a book or watch
a movie. The kitchen comes fully equipped with anything you will need for your cooking needs. Stock up on groceries and make full use of the standard size refridgerator. There is a kerig machine with complimentary coffee and condiments. Mornings you can enjoy the quiet with coffee in the area by the pool if you choose and if lucky you can hear the sound of the Red-billed whistling ducks that often do fly bys as do a variety of terns. When done with coffee dip in the non-heated pool then sunbathe in a chaise lounge. Relax, Repeat & Do it Again . . .

This Casita by the Bay sits on a shared lot with my other rental, Big Casa by the Bay. It will sometimes have another guest renting the unit but that be the case you will be notified. In saying that if occupied the pool, jacuzzi, gas grill and outside area will be community. The patio deck is off limits if the Big Casa is being rented.

Guest access
When arriving park in front of the gate on the left. There is a marked stone out front that has the address on it. Enter the casita with a code that you will be given prior to check in. There is more parking on the other side of the grass should you need it.

Other things to note
The property is pet friendly and owners should reach out to get permission. There is a one-time pet fee of $55. You will be responsible of picking up after your pet. Any poop left in the yard will result in a $25 penalty. Damages that may occur will come off the damage deposit. Please be respectful, absolutely no pets on the bed or furniture. Smoking of any kind is not allowed inside the casita. Smoking is allowed outside so you can put your butts in the copper turtle on the little table outside near the airondack chairs.

Beautiful place to stay at but definitely not family friendly . Cannot move anything without the owner complaining . Moved her shells out of reach of my children and she made a comment in regards to it then later apologized. Owner was not able to locate coasters that had been moved and reached out through my personal contact info days later after checkout to inform me her cleaning lady wasn’t in charge of finding them so she was filing a stolen report . Felt like I was staying at a strangers home that didn’t allow kids .And definitely was not being treated like a welcomed guest . Also owner told me I should have advised her on my son having autism before booking .

We loved our time at this property! It’s ALL the things—roomy, clean, comfortable, well-equipped, great AC, quiet. And the very best part? The POOL and the beautiful, tropical landscaping out back! We met the owners and Molly the Dog. Lovely people and a very sweet pup. We have family that have moved to the area, so we will definitely be back.
