Beautiful Space

We had the best time! The property is the perfect getaway for our group of friends. Beautiful, private, no cares in the world for the short time we were there. We used the crab traps on the private doc and were able to have a fresh crab dinner during our stay. The only recommendation I have is to upgrade the mattresses, they are a bit hard and lumpy in the center. And maybe a bathroom downstairs as the going up and down frequently for 50 can wear you out. (: Overall, 5 stars from us. Thank you again for sharing your space!

Fantastic Property

Lovely house and property. They've thought of the extras and communication with the host was fast, friendly, and thorough each time. We loved the outdoor TV, the dock, and the heated pool. We had a great time and really appreciated the recommendations for places to eat provided by the host. We would definitely stay again

Bday fish trip

House is great! Host was excellent to communicate with as well. Only complaint was we had a few old water bottles from prior guests on the floor in the master & bedding in master had a strange smell, not a clean smell. Aside from that, everything else was great.

Relaxing Trip

We'd visited Rockport in the summer, but never in the winter. The owner was very responsive throughout our trip, from booking to check-out. The house was spotless when we arrived, and we appreciated the welcome snacks. The kitchen was well-stocked with seasonings, pots, and utensils. We weren't sure if the heated pool would be worth it, but it definitely was! My family and I enjoyed watching the football games while relaxing in the pool. Overall, it was a great spot for a relaxing weekend getaway.

Highly recommend and would stay again

Fantastic long weekend at this beautiful house in Rockport. It was very centrally located and convenient. The house came stocked with all the basics and the hosts went above and beyond by ensuring there were thing such as coffee filters, spices, and extra trashbags! We've stayed in many rentals and have never had that personal touch. It really stood out and made our stay that much more relaxing. While there, we had a hiccup with the pool. The host responded to my text immediately and had the issue resolved by the time we returned from lunch. It further demonstrated their attention to detail and hospitality. 5/5, 10/10, would absolutely stay here again and will highly recommend to anyone I know visiting the area!

Amazing Week at Sunshine Retreat

We had an amazing trip at the Sunshine Retreat! Close to town, restaurants and beach. The view with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets from the pool and top deck are incredible. We loved having the pool to take a swim anytime of the day. The pool was cloudy, so we contacted the host and she had pool service there to service it that day and it was cleared up by the next morning. Host was prompt to respond to questions. The kitchen had everything we needed as we cooked all of our meals. We had 6 adults and 2 small children, and we had plenty of room for everyone. We would definitely stay again at the Sunshine Retreat!

My New Favorite Stay in Rockport

As a frequent visitor to the Rockport area, we’ve stayed at many vacation rentals and this location has become one of my favorites if not my favorite. Cleanliness is always a priority for me and it was spotless. Beds were comfortable, everything was well stocked, and we paid extra to have the pool heated which was worth every penny. Bathrooms kept full size bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash, so you can leave those at home. We had a slight maintenance issue during our stay and Kristen was quick to answer and send Ben out to fix the problem. Ben even gave us some pointers on fishing from the dock. My husband caught a black drum well over 30lbs if I had to guess, used shrimp from one of the local bait stands. The only call out I have is if you have children and prefer them to use plastic cups, plates, etc…you might want to bring your own. The kitchen is well stocked but it was all breakable items, fortunately I brought child friendly cups and dinnerware because I have kids that like to drop and throw things. I can’t wait to book here again!
