I stayed for 3 nights and everything was great. The room was clean and the staff was very nice and helpful. You can't beat the price either. We walked to the beach every day and to restaurants close by. The pool was clean and we swam in it too. They have BBQ pits you can use and lots of picnic tables to eat outdoors. Our stay was very pleasant and we plan to go back.

It was perfect for us. We loved the soft bed and bedding. The location was great! Surprised to see the festival. Employee was happy to help us in anyway. The room was clean. Perfect place for beach! Dollar tree was close, walmart was close by and very convenient! We built sand castles right on the beach by the hotel! The pool was clean and warm water. Enjoyed that very much.

Spent 4 nights at the blue wave inn, rooms are big and clean, beds are comfortable and the price is good. Our room faced the pool and looked out on the water. Walking distance to a pier and fishing. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.

Excellent Service and Wonderful Staff! Our stay was absolutely fantastic thanks to the amazing hotel staff. Makyla was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Matt was welcoming and efficient, Mercedes kept everything spotless, and the service throughout our stay was exceptional. It’s clear that the staff truly care about their guests. We will definitely be returning and recommending this hotel to others!

I stayed here for 4 nights and 4days. I was so very happy and impressed with the service and with the room. The price per day was very affordable and I will definitely be back to stay here. The beach was across the street and downtown shopping also very close. The nice young man Sunny was very informative and helpful. He recommended restaurants that were spot on and enjoyed very much. The place was very clean inside and out. I saw him working outside as well taking the trash out often and that made me feel that they care. I’m a little OCD so for me to feel completely comfortable is a big deal. I love knowing that I can afford to stay within a budget but feel safe and comfortable. Thank you !

Some of the nicest hotel staff I've ever met! Rooms are spacious and well kept. It's a 45 second drive to the beach and the rates are reasonable. First time I've been to Rockport and it won't be the last, and I'll stay at the Blue Wave Inn every time. Sonny is AWESOME

Great location, beautiful views, nice clean comfortable rooms. The inn sits right across from Rockport Beach in the heart of Rockport. The pool is amazing and the hot tub is coming soon. There are several options for rooms. And lots of outdoor space barbeques If you plan on staying a while you can reserve one of their kitchenettes or for a special occasion they have a huge suite with jacuzzi that even has a heart-shaped mirror. Staff is awesome I give this place 10 Stars

The Blue Wave Inn is a perfect location for beach goers and fishermen alike. The room we stayed in was a king size bed/nonsmoking room with a kitchenette. The room was well insulated so we didn’t hear other guests TVs like other places we have stayed. The room is set up well throughout. Nice bathroom, great shower, quite exhaust fan for the bathroom that helps a lot with those steamy showers after a long day of fishing fun. The TV is a good size with lots of channels to choose from, HDMI capability to add a Roku stick to if you bring one. Lots of cabinet space for groceries and keeping things neat and tidy at the kitchenette area. Parking is great! We had a boat with us and they were super accommodating for parking. The pool was nice and well kept. The washer and dryer only take quarters, but they made change for us. The best part of the stay was, hands down, how kind and helpful the staff was; every encounter was met with a smile and a sincere desire to ensure we had all we needed and were having a great stay. 5 of 5 stars! We will be back.

Easy to book last minute and quick check in. You park right in front of the rooms which is great for unloading your vehicle. I've never been in a room that fast upon arrival which is nice esp. if it's later in the evening like it was for us. The owner/manager was very helpful when we called and even more accommodating for our overnight stay. The rooms with the kitchenette is the way to go if you have a baby, kids or a group. You will have a refrigerator/freezer, sink, microwave & electric stove top. Very clean room with a comfy bed & good pillows! Noise was not an issue at all and the bay is across the street making it a beautiful view . On top of it all, it's a fantastic location. Don't wait, book now. The price is too good of a deal for the stay that you will get! Thank you Blue Wave! King Size Kitchenette Room, 2 adults and a 1 year old
