The house is super comfortable with adorable decorations and very conveniently located. I hope to stay again soon, & bring my boyfriend’s grandson to play in the playhouse!
This house is perfect for our family of 4! Anytime we contacted the host, we got a quick response!

We loved the house. It was nice and cozy with just enough room for our needs. It was also clean and well stocked. The neighbors were pleasant and friendly too!
there was mold and other debris in the ice bin in the freezer. Both bathrooms had sinks that did not drain well. The only frying pan in the kitchen was small, and the hand was loose. The cleanliness of some of the rugs was questionable.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention and will consider your comments as we work to improve.
My family and I stayed here for our first time in Rockport for a 4th of July weekend beach vacation with our friends who stayed nearby. The location is amazing for being close to the beach and all things Rockport. The house was so cute and cozy, perfect for a family. This is the perfect beachy vibed house nestled on a quiet street. My only complaint is the internet was not working. We were unable to use the TVs and our WiFi devices which is not normally a huge deal, but I also work from my devices remotely so it was frustrating. I sent a message to the host the first day and never got a response. I will also consider it was a holiday weekend so maybe that contributed to the lack of communication. Besides that, this rental is absolutely perfect and I would definitely book again!

The house was full of mesquitos.
We had to spray each other before going to bed. The TV in the living didnt work but was fixed the next day. The beach was not nice. Jellyfish ruined it for the kids. The water was so shallow.

Beach Cottage
Initial impressions was disappointment in the neighborhood. Three foot deep weeds on adjacent lot. Multiple abandoned properties in disrepair. Cottage was in good repair, appeared to have been recently painted. On arrival the air conditioner was not working. Initially difficult to obtain help. Kept getting an answering machine. However once I spoke with the owner?, help was dispatched and arrived within 30 minutes. Apparently this is a chronic problem as he knew exactly how to correct the problem and we had cool air immediately.One major concern: the secondary exit was locked with the door knob removed, so only exit was the front door. With the bedrooms in the back, exit in case of fire was limited.

Our sunny vacation in Rockport turned into three days of rainy weather. This spot was perfect for enjoying the house itself, getting out when we could—roomy, cheery, clean, well stocked kitchen, etc.We were able to get out and see many of the local sights, driving into Corpus Christi and Aransas Pass.
