Goose Island Flats -The Whistler 1 BR 1BA

Roomy house with a cottage feel and amazing views! Enjoy beautiful sunrises over the water from your front porch that overlooks St. Charles Bay, as well as lovely sunsets from the west. It's the perfect spot for watching the Whooping Cranes (October - March), Sandhill Cranes and Pink Spoonbills feed around the house or fly over to the pond across the road! Deer and other wildlife feed all around this wonderful natural setting! This amazing property is located just a few minutes away from St. Charles Bay boat launch! There is a nicely appointed king-size main bedroom with a queen-size sofa sleeper in the common area! Behind each house you will find a charcoal grill and there is a fish cleaning station behind the shed.

The Whistler has beautiful original photographs from around the state. Situated facing East, the Ibis provides amazing views of St. Charles Bay while creating a feeling of retreat.

Families are welcome and pets are allowed! Please contact the host for requested stays over 14 days. Reserve 1 house or entire property (4 houses including a total of 5 bedrooms plus 4 sleeper sofas and 5 bathrooms) for family gatherings or corporate retreats!

Rockport area delight

Cabins are the best run accommodation we have stayed in. The Milligan’s are very thoughtful with supplying their guests with everything you would in your own home. They made it very easy to reach if any questions. We would highly recommend if you are staying in the area.

Perfect bird watching location!

This cottage is new, modern and lovely. Very comfortable with a front porch view of the bay and pond next door where the whooping cranes, spoonbills, sandhills and more congregate. Just a delight! We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying here again.

Relaxing getaway

We enjoyed how peaceful and relaxing our long weekend getaway was. Although there was a little hiccup with the WiFi connection, Paula was quick to help remedy it. We especially enjoyed listening to the bay breeze, the sunrises, and star gazing. I am glad we brought our daughter’s telescope. We got to see a few shooting stars! Paula’s place is well equipped and suited our family. We’d love to come back.

Lamar Lovelies!

These little tiny houses are just precious. The owner was kind and easy to get in contact with. We have family a couple streets over, and it was SO convenient. You can tell they’re brand new, and they’re equipped with all kinds of amenities including both kinds of coffee makers and even a washer dryer combo. I’m giving it a 4 star rating though for two main reasons. First, the hot water heater was not turned on when we arrived. And as I said earlier we were visiting with family and didn’t get to the property until after 8pm and there was no hot water. In their defense that was one of the first things listed in their visitor binder and we finally found the switch (which was bright red but hidden behind the paper towel holder and completely hidden from view) but reading through that thing wasn’t our first priority coming in late at night with fussy, exhausted, crying 2 and 4 year old children who were ready for baths and bed. And secondly, the pillow situation. There were no pillows included for the pull-out couch bed, only sheets. And the pillows that were in the bedroom were hardly any thicker than the comforter on the bed, and as a result, miserable to sleep on. Great pillows and a comfy memory foam mattress topper in a rental property would go such a long way for guests who rent rental properties frequently and know the difference. All in all though - - - totally worth it and we would rent again!
