Still on the hunt for a vacation home in a Beach Town in Texas, we headed to Rockport, TX for our next adventure. While in the area, we did check out LOTS of neighboring towns before deciding that Rockport was where we wanted to be. Port Aransas, Corpus Christi, Mustang Island - all were great in their own way. But for us, the small coastal town of Rockport really appealed to us.

(***Quick disclaimer! One of the houses we highlighted in this video was purchased after we saw it. The new owner didn't want the inside of their home displayed, and we want to respect their wishes. So we blurred it out!)

In this video, we take you along as we go house hunting in Rockport, TX. We also surprised ourselves on the last day of our one week vacation in Rockport!

Our criteria for a house in Rockport Texas was as follows:
1. Lots to explore! We wanted to be in a town that had a lot of things to do in town, but was also close enough to neighboring towns where we could go on little day-adventures.
2. A home we can enjoy while we're there in the winter, but one that will also make a great vacation rental when we're not there.
3. Single family house. We'd ruled out condos and townhomes.
4. Close to water, but not right ON the water. We don't know what we don't know! We wanted to be close enough to walk to the water, but decided not to back to water until we got to know the ins and outs of owning in a beach town first.
5. Walkability. We wanted to be able to walk or ride our bikes to restaurants, shops, and other fun things to do.
6. Income! We wanted to make sure we found a home that we could rent out for 7 months of the year. We also wanted to make sure that the income for those 7 months would carry the costs of the home for the entire year.

So join us as we go shopping for our winter home in Rockport, Texas.
