“The Lighthouse Inn possesses a unique charm, thanks to its Victorian design and waterfront location on Aransas Bay. I particularly appreciate the private pier-perfect for fishing, plus it's just a short walk to the highly recommended Boiling Pot Cajun restaurant. The staff's helpfulness and the well-maintained pool area make it a relaxing base for exploring Rockport's attractions.”
