Best spring break ever!

There were six of us altogether, 3 adults and 3 children. There was plenty of room in this gorgeous home for everyone. The house was truly magnificent. The beach was a very short distance, you can drive or walk. We were close to so many attractions. We took a boat ride to watch dolphins. I can’t say enough great things about this house. It’s perfect for families. The hosts were awesome. I can’t wait to return.

Crawfest Fest

We really enjoyed the property, it had everything we needed & more. The location was perfect for what we had planned in Rockport- we went to Crawfish Fest & spent time at the beach. HEB was nearby & the house was close to other stores if we needed something. The only complaint was that it wasn't stocked with trash bsgs so we had to buy our own, dish soap & slonges as well.the dishwasher was not functioning at the time. We will consider this property again for a future stay

Rockport Escape

Property was as described. Plenty of room for 4 active boys. Loved that they had outdoor space to play (we brought water guns). They loved the third floor loft. Very minimum traffic on road in front of house, so it was very quiet, yet convenient to Rockport Beach, downtown Rockport, groceries, etc. Beds were comfortable.

The pictures don’t do this house justice! It’s absolutely breathtaking. We spent majority of our time outside on the back patio. Loved that we had the screened in porch so we weren’t getting eaten by mosquitoes & bugs! The house is also located right down the road from the shopping strip. Definitely will book again! Had an amazing time.

Outstanding Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I would recommend towel racks for the bathroom downstairs and the ones in both the queen bedroom and the bunk bedroom. The twin bedroom needs either a blackout or a heavy curtain in the window because the sun rises straight in your face an it is really annoying.

Nice place; management needs improvement

The lock box was difficult to open and close. The house is nicely furnished. The wifi info they sent via email was incorrect. Management never called us back. We finally found the correct network and password taped inside a cabinet door. No microwave. No bathmats. Comfortable furniture and bedding. Dishwasher had standing water.

Beautiful place!

What a beautiful place! Loved the house and the master bed was SO comfortable! We had a couple of very small inconveniences (cigarette butts left around the outside of the property, some lights burned out) that I sent to the property manager via email and she wrote me back within the hour. No big deal at all. Totally forgot to sign the guest book, kinda sad about that. We had family that lives in Rockport come visit every day and we had plenty of seating and were able to use the kitchen easily. We are in Rockport at least a few times a year due to having land out there and this has been our favorite place we have stayed yet. Close to everything you need/want. Beach is always fun, but man, one day of that heat was enough! July 4th fireworks are always out of this world…10/10!!! The one and only tiny complaint we had of the house is that it could definitely use a deep clean- the baseboards, mirrors, tile in the bathrooms, wipe down the inside of the kitchen cabinets and drawers- just a basic deep cleaning!

Beautiful house

The house was beautiful and we all enjoyed our stay. Loved the porch (it has a couple wasp nests that need to be treated). Had my coffee every morning on the porch and enjoyed every moment. I wish there was instruction or labels on the outlets that indicated electronic blinds on the large bedroom windows. Our first nights sleep would have been better. I didn’t want to wake with the sunrise on vacation. The other bummer was the BBQ grill. It was shown on the pictures of the property, however it’s unusable. It’s so dirty and there’s no grill supplies. We planned a bbq for one of our nights and those plans fell through. Seriously, other then those two minor things, I highly recommend this property.

There is plenty of space and the furniture and beds are very comfortable. I do wish there were some lamps in the living space and a hand towel in the 1/2 bath, but these were preferences, not must haves. It is very conveniently located close to the beach and the main strip. We will stay here again!
