What a great location for us! Cool house with access to so much in Fulton/Rockport area. We wanted to explore one of the last Texas coastal areas we havent seen. Easy walking distance to quality shops, dining & beach/coastal activities. The home is a little older but very comfotable and homey....Definitely would stay here again.
The house is adorable! A great location - we walked to eat both evenings! Perfect views for sunrise from the back porch. There is even a great little souvenir shop steps from the back door.
We love this little house, it’s charming and the location is perfect. Our pups love the yard!! It was our second time staying and I hope we get many more visits.
Great Location, Very Clean & Wonderful Communication.
We loved the location. Easy to walk to restaurants. Please was clean and as described. And the email communication regarding check in / check out. We will be back.
My family and I are so happy we choice this property. The house is in a nice area and close to everything. The house was the perfect size for a family of four and plenty of yard space of dogs. Can’t wait to book another trip.
I loved this property; the back porch, the gorgeous trees, the spacious yard, proximity to the bay, the comfortable bed, and the central heating/cooling as the weather changed a lot.
My dogs loved the yard and walking to the marina and the bay. The kitchen is quite nice with a big roomy table.
We spent two winter months in this dated but comfortable cottage near downtown Fulton. It had homey touches and all the basics (except washer/dryer; laundromat isn’t far). Doors and windows could use weather-proofing, it was drafty on cold days. There's no residential mail delivery but the post office is a block away, so we rented a box for forwarded mail. Waterfront with marina, pier, restaurants and bars is a block away. Bars can be noisy at night, bring your ear plugs! Big fenced yard, picnic table and grill.
The property is in the perfect location. From the back porch deck you can see straight to the boat harbor with no obstruction. Many great restaurants in very short walking distance. Public fishing pier is also short distance.
My stay was 7 days & 6 nights. My only suggestion is more wash clothes, hand towels & kitchen towels for long staying guests, other than that it was perfect!!!
Comfortable cottage in great location. I like almost everything about the place. Just one of the beds was very firm and a bit too high for my parents to use. Fortunatly the other bed is lower and softer so parents stayed in that room. I didn't even think to ask about height of beds. So peaceful to sit on the back porch at night. Would stay there again.
We enjoyed the house. There was some damage on the second bedroom window seal from what looks like wood rot. Additionally, dont forget to bring your coffee (there is no coffee in the house). The front door is challenging to get in and needs repair so we found ourselves going through the back door most of the time.
The house is in a great location and provides great access to the local area. It needs maintenance and work, but cozy and comfortable.
This is our second stay in this house and we were not disappointed! House itself was very clean and well stocked. Comfortable beds, tvs in each room with cable. The large fenced in backyard is perfect for dogs big or small. Spent a lot of time on the back porch which faces East so we watched the sunrise over the harbor every morning. It’s not even a block from decent restaurants and night entertainment. Will return!
