About Big State Living
A Texas-owned short-term rental company built on Gulf Coast hospitality
We’re the Owners, Not a Middleman
Big State Living started the way most good things do — with a place we loved and wanted to share. The Nautica Retreat in Rockport, Texas is our property. We own it, we maintain it, and we care about it the way an owner does — not the way a platform does.
When you book through us directly, you’re talking to the people who will actually make sure your stay goes well. No call centers, no ticket queues. Just straightforward Texas hospitality.

A Place We Care About
The Nautica Retreat is our property. We own it, we maintain it, and we care about it the way an owner does — not the way a platform does.
The Nautica Retreat
Our flagship property sits in a quiet coastal community just minutes from Aransas Bay. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, community pool, and a boat wash station — set up for the guests who come to Rockport for the fishing, the birding, or just a slow weekend on the water.
We’re growing. More properties are coming to the Big State Living portfolio — all hand-selected, owner-managed, and booked direct.
