About this cabin rental

HummerBird Celebration
Sep14-17, 2023
Welcome to the 35th Annual Rockport-Fulton HummerBird Celebration!
PIRATE COVE COTTAGE
Outside paint being scraped for caulking & painting. Vacation cabin. No claim it’s a modern condo.
Simple but clean 50s style weekend cabin. Cottage is small & compact with excellent location & great setup for inexpensive extended family, person, or couple wanting privacy. Although UNDERGOING some repairs, comfortable, nice & pet friendly. Driveway will accommodate a boat.
Full facilities include WiFi for an affordable short-term getaway. The setup is for a family or extended family, or close knit group. A one time cleaning fee is added to each booking.

The main living space is arranged in an open Hotel-suite layout with one full bed in the main living room, a twin size bunk bed in the back room & 2 additional twin fold up beds can be set up in the back or main room as needed. There is a twin bed in the front sun room & a Graco Pack N Play baby bed that can be set up on request. The front sun room is excellent for baby naps & for mom if necessary. Bring own baby sheets & blankets at this time. Great value & convenience.

622 South Live Oak Street is an open-plan cottage with one bathroom in the charming "Heritage District" neighborhood just minutes walking distance from quaint old downtown Rockport with art galleries & places to eat, the city beach, the Navigation Marina district & a nearby city fishing pier that is lit at night. Fishing pier is right on market street & a straight 2 minutes brisk walk to the waterfront.

The cottage front entrance opens onto the small front sun room with comfortable seating on one side & bed on other that is separated from the rest of the house by a glass paneled door for some privacy.

The front patio is presently under renovation, but there is a great backyard patio with a stainless steel gas barbecue & a 2nd wood burning barbecue adjacent to the large backyard wooden deck which has low wrought iron table, & 3 comfortable lawn chairs to relax outside..

We love to sit outside & see the green tailed fire flies that are surprisingly ugly up close but create a magical moving lights display when in season with a lime green luminescence under the clear stary nights. Rockport offers a peace with a real relaxing silence at night & free of background noise during the day.

SEE PHOTOS FOR DETAILS & FEEL FREE TO ASK US QUESTIONS.

In the main suite is the kitchenette, dining nook, entertainment center & love seat. Table has just been strengthened with stainless steel bolts which is the pirate way to do things! There is plenty of seating & extra chairs arranged tastefully around the cottage. The Kitchenette includes a modern stainless steel refrigerator & overhead stainless steel microwave over a full size flat-top electric stove with oven in a modernized simple but functional kitchenette

The main room opens up through two square arches to the high ceiling backroom with bunks & the laundry area on the left side.

The high ceiling bathroom is off the main room & consists of a curved glass shower, modern one piece toilet, & a pedestal basin. The shower head combination with various flow options includes a hand shower. Left is hot & right is cold. We provide soap, shampoo & conditioner as well as toilet paper & paper towels & soap.

There is basic TV with local antenna channels, WiFi Internet, Netflix & various other streaming services - such as PBS Kids, movie channels & a variety of News Services. The entertainment center has a DVD & small DVD library with an excellent selection of some classical & iconic modern movies.
Check out the local chamber of commerce on year round Rockport & area events & activities.

The stand alone cabinet doubles as our supplies storage center & has 2 large lower draws available for our quests' clothes & belongings & storage for electric blankets.

We have a pet friendly fenced back yard.

Updated traditional "batch" type ( New Zealand Kiwi jargon) beach cottage. All electric with window AC & 1 heat window unit & smaller unit in front room with remote. Stackable LG washing machine & drier combination in laundry area. Laundry soap is provided & the washer/dryer combo is easy to use. All done by us as a work of love in the tradition of the Heritage District batches which are fast disappearing. Its quaint but cute, its old but clean & rebuilt pirate tough & strong. Some cracks here & there still remain but ongoing improvements make the cabin better & better each year. Its proven Hurricane Harvey tough. We love providing this rustic inexpensive getaway experience for our guests.

There is just a 2 minute walk to the City fishing pier that is lit at night & 3-5 minute drive to the free dog beach before the entrance to the City beach. Its best to buy a yearly pass car sticker to the city beach. The city beach has an excellent salt water pond for toddlers on the far left.

There are nice nearby restaurants within walking distance & with a short drive along the waterfront there is an HEB, Walmart, Walgreens, several fast food franchises & an ACE hardware. Just turn right on Market from Live Oak, left at downtown & drive through town & along the coast. Mac's barbeque is on the corner with Market. The Country Man's Country Club is open for business again which we highly recommend. (Your restaurant suggestions & updates are very welcome). After you make your reservation, we text instructions & house rules with further information about Pirate Cove Cottage & what we provide.

Bring your boat for fishing, or canoe, or bikes for relaxing rides or walks along the waterfront on Water Street just 2 blocks away. Rent a kayak or golf cart. Long graveled driveway that easily accommodates a boat & truck or several vehicles.

This place was a great little get away, don’t let the outside photos deter you from booking the place, the cottage is very spacious and the kitchen has everything you need to cook for your family, it’s in a quiet neighborhood and close to the beach and shops, Chris was also very helpful, we really enjoyed our stay and we’re looking forward to going back

The place was in need a serious repair. Only Windows units to cool house down, which it never did. I had to go buy fans to no be absoloutly miserable. No handrails on porch, serious trip hazzards everywhere. And an extra charge to sleep 7 People when the ad clearly says sleeps 7.... it come out to be over 200 pero night. For a place of that quality was way overpriced and i am embarassed to say i stayed there. Will never return to this location.

Great cabin! We loved the quirky place. My daughter had a great time sleeping on the sun porch and the rest of us slept in the main room. Easy walk to restaurants and the Main Street. We walked to the beach and the craft market. Thanks for a great stay!

We came to Rockport to escape the heat of San Antonio and try our luck at fishing. Found this great little spot and enjoyed our stay. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, and within walking distance to the fishing pier and downtown shops. We would definitely come back!
