Recent Texas Gulf Coast guest reviews

It was very convenient to go to a corner store right around the corner to get my coffee in the morning or ice or and it just took 5 minutes so I really enjoyed that no traffic at all

We have stayed at Seascape probably around 5 or 6 times we love the short walk to the beach. The bed was so nice and comfortable, that is a plus for me. The beach towels were nice to have. We enjoyed our stay. We would stay again.

Clean, well kept cottage perfect for our Spring Break trip to Rockport. The kids loved the bunks/trundle bed and having TVs in their rooms. Kitchen had all the cookware we needed. Would stay here again!
