Nearby Activities in Rockport

The immensity of Texas and her diversity, both culturally and geographically, are hardly highlighted better than by her Southern coastal gems, which are among her best kept secrets. The small of town of Rockport exemplifies the irresistible South Texas charm that is so often overlooked. However, people are catching on, as it was recently ranked the #7 coolest small town in America. Few places can deliver worry free South Texas relaxation like Rockport, Texas.

Things To Do in Rockport

Rockport was established in 1870 as a shipping port for cattle and has since been recognized as an ideal spot for fishing and relaxation. Sitting along the Texas Tropical Trail, it enjoys warm but tolerable summers, 60s and 70s in the winter, and a reliable island breeze to top it all off. It's become notable as an ideal location for fishing, water sports, and bird watching. In addition, nearby Port Aransas and Corpus Christi also have a lot to offer. Rockport is easily accessible from Corpus C.. read more

"Joy cottage
Joy cottage is in a great location, right next to the bay, and quiet during the weekend. It’s at the end of an one way bayside road and little traffic. However, inside the fabrics are shabby and the beds are lumpy. The location though can’t be beat. There is a deck in front where it is great for drinking coffee in the early morning. There is construction next door, but they aren’t obnoxious. Some of the lamps need new lightbulbs, but there is adequate ceiling lights. I would recommend this rental if it could be updated with new mattresses and fabric coverings."

"Joy's Beach Cottage Review
Coming to Rockport for over 50 years still remains a joy. Bringing our two grandchildren every year for the past 17 years has been even better. This little house was fun because it is one of the last original Water street fishing camp houses. All was as explained in the rental agreement except for pier damage(no tee head and no lights). Also apparently the management told two couples renting other property on the street that the pier in front of Joy's was used by several rentals. Very nice couple but with four of them on the short pier morning, afternoon and evening it would have been crowded for four more people and fishing in the evening was impossible. The house needs a thorough, move the furniture, cleaning. Beds were uncomfortable, new mattresses needed. We were disappointed in back yard care which is where we had our coffee out of the sun. Chairs were dirty and table chairs scattered and yard chairs were at the table. We felt we were paying what you asked and all should have been perfect. Overall the little place needs some attention and updating. "

"pros and cons
pros: wonderful view, quiet, pier (but the end had been torn off by a recent storm and no lights); parking was great
Cons: old so it was dirty in places--had not been thoroughly cleaned. Room window unit air conditioners did not work properly; ceiling fan made terrible noises--could not use the one in the bedroom; bathroom, especially shower were very small; only 4 washcloths provided for the entire week;more towels would also be nice.

Aug 05, 2024 - Cheryl M., Hunt, TX



"Place needs work
Not impressed. Very uncomfortable beds. No washer or dryer. Lights flicker in whole house constantly. Pier lights are cheap and safety hazards everywhere on this property. AC units did not cool well. I WOULD NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN"

"Couples Costal Escape
Location, location, location! Sunrise over a private pier! Authentic costal 75 plus year old cottage with everything you need for true “leave the world behind” experience. And Rockport is charm! Wonderful people, coffee shops and nice seafood dining experiences. Rockport is a Texas gem!"

Great cabin! "

"Peaceful and quiet with beautiful views
My husband and I stayed here 2 nights and had a great time. It was clean, stocked with things that we needed for our short stay. It has a really nice pier that you can walk on, which we did a few times and sat at the end and just really enjoyed the view and peacefulness. Great place to stay to get away from it all !!"

"Joy’s beach cottage
Birthday getaway for my wife. We had a very relaxing time and enjoyed our stay immensely. "
May 12, 2023 - , Round Rock, TX



"Would never stay here again - overpriced and not comfortable
We got the beach cottage mainly for the location, but also because it advertised itself as having WIFI (we needed to bring our work with us), a fully stocked kitchen (we were going to cook), and comfortable amenities. What we found instead was a rental that doesn't look like it's been updated since the 1980s.

One of the two twin beds had a very large lump in the mattress, making it incredibly uncomfortable to sleep on.

The master bed was saggy and the linens were rough and very pilled - not nice quality or even moderately nice linens/sheets.

The pots and pans in the kitchen were dirty and rusted, and there were no serving bowls to make a salad in, much less any other dish.

The fabric on chairs was all spotted and ratty, and looked like it hadn't been updated.

The chairs for sitting on the uncovered porch outside were broken and dirty.

The bathroom is tiny and not functional.

And, while we went for a working vacation and were dependent on the WIFI, there was no WIFI at all, and the network didn't even show up as one of the options. There was no way to reset the box or to trouble shoot, and it's completely astonishing that they advertise this cottage as having WIFI at all.

The cottage is overpriced for what you get. There is nothing charming or comfortable about it. And trying to communicate our issues to the property owner/manager have been met with silence and no response at all. "

"Cottage
.Nice cottage,great view . But Cottage could definitely use a good scrubbing and . Lots of dust. Wood floors are so dirty .But we still enjoyed it as much as we could .."

"Can't wait to go back!!!!
It is a quaint little cottage perfect for 2. Beautiful views and wonderful fishing pier. Love it!!!"

"Perfect little getaway
Brought back memories of our old family cabin on the lake, but slightly bigger lake! Quaint, quiet little place for a nice relaxing getaway. Nice private pier to watch the sunrise. Close to Corpus and plenty to do in Rockport. We'll be back. Host communicated expectations and answered any questions quickly."
Jul 25, 2022 - Darrell J., Austin, TX



"Great place for a QUIET getaway.
This place was good. Two adults fit comfortably with room for 2 kids. The ac was not great in the front part of this home but we just shut the door separating the rooms. Front deck is in disrepair but there's no privacy so we did not utilize it. Home is 20 feet away from a family home so quiet and courtesy is to be expected as a guest here. Looking to party? Don't go here. Want quiet and relaxing? This is your place. "

"Excellent place to stay!
I am very happy with the property we stayed at! So clean! Excellent customer service! We will definitely be back!!"

"My stay at Joy's
Cottage was dirty, furniture was very outdated, grill was not fit to cook with. Location was great, the pier was a plus. "

"Great Location
Best thing about it was the fenced yard! Nice little cottage...don't expect anything too fancy for the size."

"TY
Very poor quality "
Jun 12, 2021 - TIMY T., MISSOURI CITY, TX



"Anniversary Getaway
Pros: Excellent location right across from the water. Nice and cozy environment. A lot of antiqueness to the place. Got the opportunity to fish a bit which was very relaxing. Wife and I loved it and would do it again. Cons: The place could really used a deep cleaning and the bed was just a little uncomfortable. A few loose boards on the floors throughout the house"
Dec 19, 2020 - Sammie J., SAN ANTONIO, TX



"Joy's Beach Cottage Needs Some TLC
What a great location! The house however needs considerable work. The smell of mold and mildew in the house were almost unbearable. The trash can outside was full of dead stinky fish and the smell was so bad you could not sit on the front deck. The grass had not been mowed and was pretty tall. The furnishings were dirty and worn out. We were really looking forward to this stay, but actually cut it short by 2 days due to the mold and mildew smell in the house. Very disappointed. "
Dec 02, 2020 - Patti E., McKinney, TX



"Joy's Beach Cottage
I enjoyed the peaceful area and felt safe as a woman traveling alone. Reservation process was easy and my questions were answered quickly with friendly and helpful information."

Great place for a quick trip."

"Relaxing
Loved my stay. Everything i needed there. Great fishing off the private pier. "
Oct 03, 2020 - , San Antonio, TX



"A short get-a-way
We enjoyed our few days on the water. The pier was great for fishing and just enjoying the sunset. Caught a large sting ray and a couple of Black Drum (released) and quite a few specs (also released). The house is a great size for a couple and the kitchen was well equipped for our needs. The furniture could use some upgrades to be more comfortable for us seniors. "

"joys cottage
We really needed a getaway and location was perfect we got to meet the owner and she was really friendly"
Jul 23, 2020 - , Weslaco, TX



"My stay at joys beach cottage
Overall I was not satisfied with my stay. The property’s maintenance of the lawn was not kept mowed. Plus the shower is way to small. I was happy with the location. The house inside was not thoroughly clean because we noticed an empty Gatorade Bottle under the couch. We also had to go to the store to buy batteries for the tv remote controls. The house was not prepared for guests to stay. The storage outback needs to be cleaned up and the patio furniture needs to be replaced as well as the chairs on the pier. "
Jun 10, 2020 - Robert C., San Angelo , TX



"My Review
It was a perfect place for my needs and I loved the long private pier with nailed down chairs for morning coffee and sun rises and evening wine and sunsets."

"Lovely Cottage!!!
The Cottage was Unbelievably Perfect!!! It was the Perfect Romantic Getaway! Very Relaxing and Quite with an Amazing View!!! Definitely will be Back!!!"
