This family-friendly luxury 4 bedroom/4 1.5 bath home is truly exceptional! Located on a prestigious private drive on Key Allegro Island, this special place provides a quiet comfortable retreat where you and your family and friends can relax and play.

Sip your morning coffee on the pier or our benches 10 feet from the edge of the bay beside our large bronze sailfish, or in the palm garden just outside the living room. Savor sunsets from the 2nd story front balcony or the large back porch. Snuggle up in front of the fireplace.

Why Paul Hudson chose Rockport

We owned a smaller house in Rockport since 1979 and have always loved the atmosphere of the town. Key Allegro is the most vibrant community in Rockport and this house in particular is stunningly beautiful and comfortable – open and airy – it just has a wonderful feel. It was way above our price range, but once we saw it, we couldn’t live without it!

The kids will love the calm beach and playscapes at the nearby Rockport beach park. While watching for dolphins, ride the ferry to Port Aransas and enjoy the expansive ocean beach and surf of the Gulf of Mexico. Or just relax down the street by the Key Allegro Island swimming pool and grab a bite at the marina restaurant. You are only 30 minutes from the State Aquarium and the USS Lexington aircraft carrier museum in Corpus Christi. Take a Whooping Crane tour at nearby Aransas Wildlife Refuge. Tour the historic Fulton Mansion just a few blocks away.

Perfect place to getaway!!!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 12, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
We stayed at this beautiful bayfront home over a long Easter weekend and loved it! If you love the sights and sounds of the Gulf waters, this is the place for you. It is located on the exclusive Key Allegro island in Rockport, TX. The front of the home faces Aransas Bay and you have access to a private pier for fishing and just hanging out. It has a fantastic view of the sunset. The house is HUGE with plenty of room to spread out. The owners make sure that it's kept in excellent condition. We ate all our meals in the kitchen which had all the cooking utensils you need for any kind of food preparation. There was enough space for 15 people to dine comfortably. Our group included kids from 7-21 years old and they all loved fishing on the private dock just out the back door. The dock has several lights and an underwater light that really brings the fish! If you want to dine out, there many great restaurants within minutes that serve steaks and fresh seafood brought in daily. It's a perfect place for a family reunion or your favorite group of friends. We are already planning on next return visit.
Owner's Response: Awesome! I'm so glad your group had such a great time. We've spent several Easters there. It's a great time of year to be there. Looking forward to having y'all back!

Great Gathering & Fellowship

Great Gathering & Fellowship
Submitted: September 19, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Entry from on-site guest book: "Thanks to the Hudson family for sharing the coast with us. Celebrated pre-retirement festivities. Great gathering and fellowship as usual. Beautiful weather while still a bit hot in the mid-90s. Winds 15 to 20 mph. Seas about 2 ft. Did some tubing in the bay. Fished off the dock both a.m. and p.m., but no fish caught. P.S. We're bringing additional RC copters next time!"

Luxurious Vacation by the Water

Submitted: September 19, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Entry from on-site guest book: "We have truly had a luxurious vacation in you beautiful home surrounded by water. We felt like we were back in Costa Rica while enjoying a cruise!! Every detail in your house is perfect! We even caught trout (one 26") and redfish off the pier. The porpoises, paddleboat, and kayak just added to all our fun. The little swifts were entertaining and even the frigate bird who would fly high every afternoon seemed to enjoy your home.

Our family celebrated (my mother's 87th birthday; a 40th & a 38th anniversary plus a retirement!! Thank you for a wonderful respite; we hope to come back."

Family vacation - 3 generations

Submitted: September 19, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Entry from on-site guest book: "What a wonderful family vacation we've haved in your home with children and grandchildren! This was our 1st visit to Rockport, and we have loved it. Your home has been a respite for all from our busy lives - to sit anywhere & gaze out at water & sky has been amazing! A highlight was sitting at dinner and watching a dolphin swim by. Of course, many thought it was a shark. Nature and God's creation are so close by. Thank you & God bless you."
