Mediocre
First, I’m used to staying in Key Allegro, so please view through that lens. The location is good unless you want to experience restaurants etc in the main parts of Rockport. The house was clean enough. I’ve never left a bad review on VRBO, and that is not my intent but I do appreciate others’ reviews when choosing a house so I want to share my thoughts since the photos don’t capture everything. The owners put forth effort to make the house nice, but cut corners in the remodel process. I’m not even sure it’s up to code - extremely steep interior stairs, exposed wall outlets and the best part, a stainless oven hood that sticks out in an already very narrow passage that is frankly dangerous. All our guests hit their head on the corner of it. The kitchen is TINY! Two people struggled to cook in the unusually small space - you can’t tell from the photos online. The floor elevation has tiny step ups or step downs that will trip you up. The big master doesn’t have an en suite bath. And there is nearly nothing in the kitchen such as hand soap, etc. Bring everything. The shower looks like one of those cheap plastic showers that you’d find in an RV.. all fine, but the price point should reflect the quality of the house. Mold residue is visible, which I understand with the heat and humidity. Plenty of parking! Poor HVAC design with inconsistent temps. Overall not terrible but certainly needs investment, renovation and some TLC.
