We had everything we needed, and the laundry facility was great! Internet ran slow sometimes, but we were close to a lot of nice shopping and the beach.

Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you found the amenities convenient and enjoyed being close to shopping and the beach. We appreciate your feedback about the internet and hope to welcome you again.
This is my second time booking with Nina and as usual the property is the perfect space for my husband and I! I will continue to book this property! You can't beat the price either! Nina is an amazing host! I can't say this enough if you're visiting Rockport, TX. Book her house!
Nina is an amazing host! Her cozy home is in walking distance of the beach, 30 minutes away from corpus and and an hour from mustang beach! It's absolutely perfect!
We had plenty of beds and space for our grandkids to run around outside. It was near the beach and restaurants overall we would love to come back. I want to give a special thank you to Nina for taking care of us.

Disappointed
Could be much nicer if management made sure it was clean throughout and inspected it. Also the bed mattresses were uncomfortable. We had to wash all dishes and shelves and clean the laundry area our first day there. The manager was not helpful when I called about it.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear your experience didn't meet expectations and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention.
The house was not clean, I found 2 pair of dirty socks in the front bathroom, cobwebs on wall, in corner on bathroom complete w a dead bug, top of microwave was dirty, film on the kitchen counters, dried food on the stove and in drain plugs for sink, kitchen sink leaks so badly you have to put towels on kitchen counter. I had to wash the queen size bed linens but was in a full size bed so sheets were a mess all night while trying to sleep. ACs and ceiling fans so covered w dust that I surprised they still worked. Bathroom plumbing needs attention as the commode constantly runs. All this on my HONEYMOON!!! I called the office and was told “I’ll make some phone calls”. I do not feel that was adequate attention to this situation hence now a public review. I do not recommend this listing or any others this property management may offer if this is an acceptable condition for their rentals.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Great location. Close proximity to beach, shops, stores, and restaurants. However, there were a few minor issues we encountered. Unfortunately, we could not use the grill as the previous tenant left it filthy. There were 2 big wasp nests by the laundry room and in the tree that hangs over the patio. We avoided sitting out on the patio. I think the cleaning crew needs to do a better job of cleaning in between tenants. There were cobwebs in a lot of the corners in all the rooms. The stove and counters had a greasy residue on them. Seems they cleaning crew just accepted how the last tenant left it and didn't clean themselves. Cigarette butts littered the front steps. We couldn't use any of the extra stools in the home. All of them had loose legs and were missing bolts. I went and bought an Allen wrench set to try and tighten them but with the bolts missing it didn't help. The minor inconveniences weren't enough to ruin the weekend. I would have no issues renting this property again, if I knew these small issues were addressed. Also, the listing should specify it is a shared property with 2 units.
