Peaceful when we wanted peace; fun when we wanted fun. No need to fuss over whether or not I brought everything I needed for the beach. If I forgot something or needed to pee - the house was 200 yards away. Everyone could kind of do their own thing (chill on the deck in the sun or take a nap in the shade, post up on the beach, watch a movie, cook) and at the same time, there was room for everyone to be a family together in the evening. We did The Black Marlin for dinner the first night (spectacular food and pretty good service). We also took advantage of the kitchen for a home-cooked meal the second night. I'm a pretty picky eater and a picky cook, and this kitchen had all the equipment I needed for the weekend. Most importantly - it was the best two nights of sleep I have had in a long, long time. So relaxing.

Read the reviews and thought for sure they would be booked. Called and spoke with Beth and by chance, we were in luck. Booked the room and made the trip. For those of you looking for a 5 Star Resort, keep looking. Anthony's by the Sea is very laid back. Come and go as you please or relax by the pool or on the big patio. The breakfast that Beth serves every morning is fit for a king and will keep you full for hours. Beth and Smitty the owners are as sweet as can be and make you feel like this is your home as well. We will be planning more trips to Rockport and will stay here again. Anthony's by the Sea is a true hidden gem in Rockport.

If you're the B&B type, you will love this place and never stay anywhere else. My girlfriend and I loved the seclusion and serenity of the pool so much that we ended up opting to spend time there instead of the nearby public beach. It is also adjunct to the arboretum, so you can get treated to the sights (and sounds!) of peacocks and other wild life literally next door. I don't have a single negative thing to say - just give them a try, and you won't be sorry.

As annoying as it was to hear every word they would holler, it was also entertaining. The room, itself, was clean and beds were comfortable.

If we ever decide to come back to Rockport, we will probably stay here again and just hope that our neighbors in the next room know hotel etiquette.

We are thoroughly familiar with this area, just got back from a Family funeral @ Robstown 2 days ago. For background: This is not IN Corpus; it is b/t the tiny Bluntzer & Sandia communities, it is out-of-the-way, not isolated. The lodgings are in the old dairy facilities, from when this was a working dairy. Lodging is rustic but comfortable; with A/C, full bathrooms, etc. The grounds are a great example of Texan "Chaparral", where the coastal bend plains meet the low rolling hills of mid-South Texas. It is like a nature preserve. Think mesquite, live oaks, & huisache. I cannot imagine Beth being deceptive with her guests; this place is her life's work and shows it. Some pointers: If seeking the beach by auto, one must cross over onto the Island (Mustang/North Padre/Padre) via the JFK Causeway or the Port Aransas Ferry. This is about an hour or more from the B&B. Larger grocery stores are in Calallen/Annaville, C.C., or Robstown. There are few good restaurants nearer than 30". The major tourist attractions involve drives of 30" to 60", don't be afraid to drive. I intend to visit this Fall for second or third season doves. Some activities are expensive by nature, but are great overall values. This place is an absolute JEWEL of South Texas nature. Rick .

From the moment we stepped onto the property, our expectations began to drop. The woman at the…read morefront desk greeted us while reeking of cigarette smoke, which immediately set the tone. The hotel advertises that it serves breakfast, but don't be fooled. This is not a continental breakfast by any stretch. For a group of four, we were given a total of six possible items to choose from--including drinks. The "menu" consisted of a croissant, a muffin, a breakfast bar, juice, or water. That's it. One person would have to choose between having a drink or a very lackluster snack--not both. The pool is listed as an amenity, yet it was completely shut down and coated in green algae. When we arrived at our room, we noticed a row of random office-style chairs lined up outside in the main walkway, directly beneath a "No Smoking" sign. Below them sat three ashtray cups. Nearby was a man wearing an oversized black shirt, oversized shorts, sunglasses, and a crossbody fanny pack. He stared at us in a way that felt uncomfortable and unsafe. He wandered around the property, and we eventually realized he worked there. His appearance and suspicious behavior did not resemble hotel staff in any professional sense, and the overall vibe was unsettling. Opening the door to our room was the final straw. The overwhelming smell of mold, mildew, and cigarettes hit us instantly--so strong we could barely breathe. Nothing in the reviews or advertisements prepared us for this. Even the shower was coated in dark grime, clearly not cleaned or disinfected for quite some time. The sheets were dirty, walls were dirty, sink was dirty. Just so unsanitary. It made my skin crawl and you can't even breathe the air in the room. When we stepped back outside, the front desk attendant was right there, chain-smoking one cigarette after another. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. This place is nothing like what it claims to be. I don't understand how this place has such great reviews. This is the biggest catfish I've ever experienced. Someone must be buying people off.

Very clean rooms, with enough hot water for 4 people to take showers back to back. The beds were a little lumpy, but nothing bad...I still slept great. It has a nice little pool area with a high fence around it for privacy from the nearby rooms. We heard that there were going to be complimentary breakfast goodies when we booked the room, but never received it/ were unsure how to make it happen. We checked in late so maybe we missed the opportunity to order it.

The building itself is right out of a Jane Austen novel, from the wrap-around porch to the white picket fence, with each of the rooms individually and tastefully decorated by Anne herself. Just stepping through the doorway is a million miles away from San Diego and a decadent escape for anyone for an hour, a girls' night out, an awards' ceremony, or a romantic weekend. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. You'll feel like you just got home and just went on vacation all at the same time. Congratulations on your grand opening, Anne & company! We're so proud to have you here and wish you all the best.

But Ann appears to be in need of help. A good maid and part-time cook would serve her well. Here is what we found: dirty floors and rugs, dust bunnies under the bathroom cabinets, broken A/C (on a 100 degree day), "amenities" that consisted of items left behind by previous visitors (shampoo, body wash, etc.). There was more, but suffice it to say it was disappointing. I hope she can find it in her to hire a couple of part time people, or perhaps a B&B manager because the Bluebonnet has great potential.
