Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Lake Corpus Christi

We have been fortunate to have almost universally positive Airbnb experiences, but this one was special. There are absolutely flashier homes out there, ones closer to the beach, or closer to an influencer’s ideal. But Bon Temps Rockport felt like home. From the exceptional hospitality shown by Natalie and family, to the thoughtful decoration, the convenient to Rockport and only 30 min from Corpus location, and even an easy checkout that was not the onerous list of requirements some properties are known for, this place is special and represents the best of what Airbnb can be. All to say I happily recommend Bon Temps Rockport to anyone looking to stay in the area. Our family can’t wait to return.

Loved the location and the cottage. You can see the water from the front porch and the breeze off the water was wonderful. The cottage was clean and the decoration was tasteful. We didn't do a lot of cooking at the cottage but we had everything we needed. Everything was clean and accommodating for us and our pet, including water/food bowls specifically for the dog. Messages from Melissa were timely and easy to follow. Checking in and out was a breeze and I would highly recommend the Spoonbill for anyone wanting to stay close enough to Port Aransas for things to do but also enjoy a quiet, peaceful setting.

Brandon’s home was absolutely beautiful and the perfect size for our group who went to the beach! It was close to Mustang island and the Texas State Aquarium! The backyard was beautiful with a fire pit to roast s’mores and they had an assortment of games to be played. The kitchen was wonderful and clean and the bathrooms were fantastic! The home comes with a washer and dryer and they provided laundry soap as well! I will definitely be recommending this home to others and would love to visit in the future!

We had the best time at Cleo’s home! The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortably furnished. We loved the pool and the round couch to sit and talk at. We also loved the wide varieties of plants and the palm trees in the backyard! The neighborhood is very quiet and we felt very very safe. We are looking forward to coming back as soon as we can!

This place was comfy and cozy. Clean all around the house and the pool was exactly what we needed.

Host (Josh) was very quick to send out a pool guy to clean the pool when we got there. He sent his pool guy out within the hour after we notified him that the pool was “a little cloudy”. This was really the only issue we had while staying there. Everything is centrally located and the home itself is kept in “Pristine” condition! We would definitely recommend this rental home for a small family.

Melissa was a perfect host with the perfect get away. We loved how it was peaceful and relaxing along with all the information that we may need. I would highly recommend this listing, if you’re wanting to take yourself from the regular world life.

We decided to take a pit stop from the volunteer event we drove to and was able to get early check in with the last minute decision. We were given extra blankets for all the kids and had some great recommendations from host!

The location was perfect for us, 5 minutes from anything you need. Tony was very nice and the bnb was exactly as pictured!!! Everything was clean and had anything you might need. Thank you so much!!

natalie was such a wonderful host and made us feel right at home. the place was super cozy and felt safe ! (: we will definitely be returning our next trip to corpus !

Honestly, had an amazing time celebrating my sister’s birthday!! The condo was in a perfect location walking distance to the local shops. The pier was amazing. Thank you so much for allowing us to check in a little bit earlier. Until next time Laguna Reef.!!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful beachside condo! It was cozy, well-decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The host was kind and very responsive throughout our stay. And if you’re looking for the best possible view—look no further. The ocean view from the balcony is absolutely breathtaking and truly sets this place apart. Highly recommend for a peaceful and scenic beach getaway!

Use of KEVO for entry was new But effective

My girls and i had a wonderful time at this place. It was very kid friendly. And we were able to have lots of fun in the sun. Would come back in a heartbeat. 🤍

We enjoyed our stay.

Our stay was perfect. The cabin was lovely, spotless and comfortable and had everything we needed. The surroundings were peaceful and I felt very safe. There was a gate leading up to the house that we locked at night. Tyler was very responsive to my messages and we would definitely stay here again!

It was a quiet and peaceful stay. The kids loved being able to run around and enjoyed being in the country. It’s a very convenient place to stay being close to the beach or just staying out in the sticks. I definitely recommend and will want to come back during the spring or fall. The furniture was very comfy and lots of bed space for my wife kids.

This place took care of all our needs. We were a group of 4 and I liked how we had space to move around. The host gave us tons of info about what was around the area from food to entertainment. This place is not far from Port A or Rockport, pretty good location. I would stay here again.

Great hosts, very clean and comfortable place. Would come back and recommend!

We went with our kids for a trip to the beach and it was very comfortable. Just the right size for us. Would book again.

Perfect location for our stay. Simple things like coffee rand clean towels were available and easy to find. Rooms were clean and neds were comfortable.

We had been on the road since 2am the day of check-in, and were really grateful to come in early so we could rest. Jenny gave us a very detailed list of nearby attractions, restaurants, and stores to visit for anything we could need or want to do during our stay. The only thing I will say, I wish the bed was a little more comfortable. It feels like a spring mattress, and it's somehow firm but has too much give, but it was comfortable enough to get through the nights. We really enjoyed our stay!

You want peace and quiet, great view of the stars? This is the place to stay
