This is the second time my husband and I have stayed here with our little Corgi. The backyard is great as he loves to run and play ball. There are dogs on both sides of the property but they all seem to get along , just a bit of initial barking. The property is just as pictured, living area and kitchen are very spacious, however there is no dining table but there are barstools and a large countertop. My husband and I found plenty of dishes and cookware and we ate all of our meals in for four nights. We did bring our own spices, oil, etc. The house is convenient to Main St. if you don’t mind walking a couple of miles.Would definitely stay again!

Perfect size home, everything new inside. Nice location , we could see the water from the balcony. Overall very good, just looked like either it was cleaned in a rush between guest or ?? Floors, sinks, bath and showers weren’t cleaned, hair left behind. Very nice appliances. Lots of dogs on both sides, lots of barking, I had smaller dogs, but they handled it very well. If you love dogs you will be fine. Very nice neighbors to the right- tried so hard to control their dogs and kept apologizing. Also we accidentally locked ourselves out and property manager assisted very quickly and we were back in in 2 mins- thank you.

Great home and location. Our dogs absolutely loved the yard and running with the neighbors dogs. Great weekend getaway! The one hing we could say could’ve been better was the master bedroom mattress- we found it to be uncomfortable.

we arrived and were met with barks from the neighbors dogs to the left of the property who appear to not be renters but live there. 3 large dogs who run the adjoining fence and bark all day long. Upon arrival we were pleased with the property but met with other "issues" . almost all of the door handles in the unit are loose/detached yet functional. the main bathroom toilet paper roll holder is also broken. There was also debris on the kitchen stools. (We have pictures/video) Overall the whole property is beautiful and we wish we could have enjoyed it however the intention of enjoying a getaway with our furballs is not possible with the neighboring dogs, had it been mentioned in the booking (i may have missed it) it would have greatly swayed our decision to stay here. Our dogs are not barkers and yet the neighbors dogs have made the intention of enjoying the yard impossible. We were able to get a few minutes while restricting our dogs out of view under the patio. We stayed one of the two nights booked and heading back home as our intention was not to be locked inside.The home is beautiful however a privacy fence should be considered. We hoped to have enjoyed a wkend away having quality time with our dogs, the yard was a selling point. We had also sent a message to the host about earlier check in weeks prior to arrival and never received a response. We also text the owner via the contact info left in the property manual in the home and never received any response aswell.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Nautical Nest! It was spacious enough for my family and our fur babies! A big plus was the cleanliness and openness for my 7 month old to crawl around and play. The yard was big with plenty of room for our German Shepherds. 10/10 will stay here again!

We had a wonderful time. In fact my favorite part about rockport was just being at the house, hanging out in the hot tub and playing cornhole. We brought our set but they already had it! We didnt bring our animals but we could have and they would loved it too. Nice space.
