We loved our stay. Our goal was to relax and we accomplished that. We caught fish and crab off the pier. Saw dolphins in the morning and evening. Sunsets were gorgeous. The cabin was clean and comfirtable.

Love the location…beautiful sunsets and great star gazing. The cottage is very cute clean and comfy. Loved waking up to water only 15 feet from the back door. Our dog enjoyed running up and down the pier keeping an eye on everything (seagulls and ducks mainly). Would love to stay here again for a future getaway. Very relaxing!

Cozy home right on the bay. We enjoyed fishing off the pier and we caught 8 crabs. Quiet neighborhood located roughly 15 minutes from downtown Rockport.

We hit during a freeze storm and our original property had to be replaced. The management company took care of everything and put us up in an even nicer property. Couldn’t recommend more!

There were many pros and cons. When we arrived the grass and weeds were a foot tall and looked like it hadn’t been mowed for months, curb appeal terrible. It was mowed the next day. The exterior was very weathered need pressure washing and door knob was almost rusted off. Part of the lattice roof on the side was off and had been there a while. The view was awesome as was the deck and pier. The pictures do not match the actual property. The inside was much better, kinda small but acceptable. Upstairs AC filter was BLACK and needed changing. We had to call to get TV set up and never found the ceiling fan control. We knew the check-in was 4 and we did get there at 2 but was told we couldnt check in until 4 because the inspector hadn’t arrived. We were able to gain access at 3:51 and never saw inspector. We were told that they had already been there but they didn’t know. In the past if we get to a place a little early and the cleaning has been done the property manager allows access a little early.All in all it was a little disappointing but the view, deck and pier made up for the other things. I know it’s a property on the water but needs attention.For the money we will find something else next trip,Thank You

Loved it.

We absolutely loved the property. My kiddos had a blast. We fished until our arms felt like they were going to fall off, saw dolphins in the mornings up close, ducks everywhere, there were some jellyfish up near the house rock/porch area, the whole setting was great and the sunsets were beautiful, the house was just the perfect size for us. 4, myself, my dad, my 20 yr old and my 15 year old. We would definitely come back again!

Nice pier

The property is very secluded and has a great pier. Caught lots of trout at night undersized and a couple of keepers. If you want a private pier this is a great house. The inside is very small. We had 4 and unless we had two more little kids I don’t see how it sleeps 6. Also the interior of the house needs lots of paint touch up. Minor for some but a quick touch up of walls will make it look a lot more well kept. Beds very comfortable. Nice kitchen

Unique Setting, Amenities Lacking

It was definitely a unique setting, however there are some finer points left to be desired. The private dock access is pretty cool. The place itself has some issues. There was no soap to be found for hand washing or cleaning dishes. The toilet paper supply was cutting it pretty close. The water damage from the hurricane is noticable, who knows the mold situation behind the sheetrock. Aside from those things, the nextdoor neighbor is a party house. And arguably the most annoying thing about the place was a random alarm from some unknown location in the house that wakes you up in the early morning.

Rockport Fishing Weekend

We appreciated the opportunity to stay at this property, it’s very relaxing and offers plenty of time to bond w/those in your group. However, a deep clean would go a long way. This property offers 3 large, curbside trash bins to properly dispose of garbage yet each of them were overflowing as we pulled in for our weekend stay. The shower curtain liner is in desperate need of replacing. The primary bedroom shows a great need for general housekeeping as a collection of dust, dirt, and grime has pooled at the bed baseboard, near the headboard. The primary bedroom ceiling fan could not be used as the chain pull was politely left on the television stand. Also, falling asleep maybe difficult in this room due to the a/c unit loudly engaging throughout the night. For these reasons, unsure why a “Cleaning Fee” is assessed and required for payment.

Not what I expected

Pros...the location was great for fishing. We had a great time catching fish. The a/c worked great! Cons...We were greeted at our cottage with the trash over flowing in the bins. The whole week there the trash was never picked up. The house definitely needed some repairs. The floor was separating in the kitchen. The chairs in the kitchen were in need of repair and there was a fair amount of rust everywhere. The biggest complaint that I have was the listing really needs for a sleeps 4 instead of 6. There were 6 in our party. We brought air mattresses so the kids didnt have to sleep together on the sofa. The living room could not accommodate 6 without someone sitting on the stairs, neither could the table and the very limited kitchen only had 5 plates. I have been renting vrbos for the last 10 years and this was probably the worst property that i stayed in.
