Super Cozy Cottage--BBQ/ Pool & Dog Welcome

Our turquoise blue Sandy Pelican is a cottage where memories are made, and our guests really love to return year after year. With so much heart and soul invested in this sweet little cottage, it's no wonder it is a favorite of travelers. The instant you walk through the door, you and your family and friends will feel the weight of the world slip away and you will fall right into 'Island Time', which is a fantastic state of mind.

The cottage sits tucked beneath strong oak trees which provide plenty of shade on both sides. The front porch is entirely covered where you can sit a spell and enjoy the peaceful morning sounds while sipping your coffee before starting the day or have an evening drink while waiting for the sun to go down after a fun-filled day on the water or shopping in town. Directly across from the cottage is the pool--so refreshing and so much fun...not just for the kids!!! The pool is fenced for safety of your little ones, and it is open 24 hours a day!

Our cottage is set up like home. You will find a complete kitchen, down to the seasonings and foil. We have a nice selection of cooking equipment and dishes. The cottage also has a dishwasher, which makes it all the nicer. We also have a stackable washer and dryer available for your convenience.

A little information about our town: Many of our guests are lovers of the outdoors: Birders, fishermen/women and there is a wide variety of places to experience all the Coastal Bend has to offer. Rockport has a large number of fishing guides to take you and your group out for a thrill of a lifetime, but fishing from land and any of the piers is also a ton of fun. Don't miss Goose Island or shopping downtown. Kayak and boat rentals are also available, not to mention boat tours for bird watching and dolphin sightings.
