Thank you for your review, Juan. We are glad to hear that you found the house to be nice and cozy, and that you had a productive fishing experience during your stay. We appreciate your feedback and hope you had an enjoyable overall experience. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to improve for your next visit. Miss Kitty's
The house was awesome! We didnt have any luck at the water fishing, but we also stayed in the colder months so it was kindof expected for the location. House was clean and was stocked with everything we needed.
The home was perfect for our family to comfortably stay in which for my teen, the downstairs private area worked out great! Although, the pictures are outdated as the outdoor furniture was rusted, and the bird poop was everywhere that we couldn’t really sit and enjoy the backyard. Considering we had our dog, a fence should be added to allow the dogs outside safely.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your insights and will address the outdoor furniture and cleanliness. Adding a fence is also a great suggestion and we will look into this. We hope to welcome you back soon.
The house is located in a great location in between Rockport and Aransas Pass. Caught our first flounder from the back dock and several small black drum and my wife caught a huge oversized drum. We hit the flats on our kayaks and caught a little of everything including a giant trout. Looking forward to booking again.

Bad stay
The property septic was full and feces overflowed in shower terrible
House was decent but it’s an odd layout with no real deck to enjoy the morning or evening looking at the water. Lots of egrets around that make a mess as well. The house also lacks some things many other VRBO’s in Rockport provide.. basic beach stuff, beach towels, cooking spices, etc.Overall this house is a mid 3.

Thank you for your feedback, Jeremy. We're glad you found the house somewhat enjoyable, and we are sorry the back porch and deck on the canal did not provide you the view you wanted. Your guest portal had our "we provide list" so I am sorry for that confusion. We appreciate your input and hope you have a pleasant stay overall. Miss Kitty's

Didn’t get to use the dish washer, but it needed to get cleaned. It stinks pretty bad

The customer service was above and beyond.
The customer service was above and beyond. The team was very friendly and helpful. I have always used VRBO to book houses at the coast. Now I will go directly to Miss Kitty's. The experience was far better.
Great House and location. Only issue is the listing said max of 22’ boat. I have a 22’ boat and it definitely hung over to the neighbors dock. Luckily he didn’t mind but I’d say a 20’ boat would be the max
