Disliked: Cleanliness
The house was walking distance to the beach. The fenced in yard was great for our dogs but be sure to bring OFF for the mosquitoes . Check in was confusing since the directions I received about downloading an app for the door lock was not needed. The place was neat but needed a deep cleaning. We found candy and chip wrappers under the coffee table and bed. The house layout was perfect for my family and kitchen was easy to cook in but needed deep clean and updated pots and pans. We left as soon as we realized that the tap water was yellow and smelled like sewage. The owner tried to help us troubleshoot but ultimately said the water is always like that and there was nothing he could do. We were disappointed that we were only refunded a portion of our rental fee. We felt like this property description was misleading because it did not disclose that the water was unacceptable.

terrific get away

We had a great time on our recent visit. The fenced in yard was even better than expected, which worked really well for us as we were traveling with our dog. The house is very comfortable and close to the beach, and the overseer was really responsive to any concerns we had during our stay. We plan to return

The Rock House

The house itself was great, very nice furnishings and clean. The yard was great for the fur babies and the deck was good. However there was no laundry soap, no dishwasher soap, no water in fridge, no drinks, no coffee pods as this was all in the information that was sent me. Had issues connecting to internet and trouble getting the code correct. Will I book this property again, no I will not stay here again.

Great place to stay

This place was amazing! Loved the view and access to the beach. Very nice and relaxing place to stay. The house was lovely and very clean. Sitting outside on the deck was my favorite part about the house! Listening to the ocean feeling the breeze and watching all the birds. Very nice fenced in yard for my fur babies to enjoy although the smell Yorkie was able to escape through the gate lol she couldn’t get enough of going to the beach and for walks and the community. I will be recommending this place to others and I will be back. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Great Place!!

We stayed for a few days with my family. Everything was nice and clean as advertised. The only complaint that is out of the property managers control was the water. At first the water had a foul smell to it. I ran a reset on the water heater to hopefully flush out the bad water but it didn't help. The property manager mentioned the local water has its ups and downs. Showers weren't the best and everyone brushed their teeth with water bottles. At the end of the day everything was fantastic and nice minus the water dilemma. Property manager was very responsive and respectful.

Cozy

We had a nice time and the only recommendation is to turn the A/C on before guests arrival. It was set 80 degrees when we arrived and the weather was hot and humid outside, so everyone was super hot for a couple hours before it finally cooled down enough to be comfortable. I have stayed in several short term rentals and the a/c has always been set to a comfortable temperature. The only other issue we had was that there were only 5 spoons in the house and we were a group of 7.

Last minute summer trip

The house is great. Clean, comfortable and well stocked with what you need. Easy access to beach with short walk and also close to vehicle access roads. No complaints, only a few suggestions. Maybe time for a new refrigerator. It doesn’t cool that great. Also the front door doesn’t click shut, it only pulls to unless you lock it.

Family and pet friendly.

Rock House is great for families and pets. They have a large fenced area for the dogs to enjoy the outdoors and a gate at the top of the stairs to keep pets or even children from leaving the deck. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beach is a short walk down the street and over the boardwalk. The nearest boardwalk does have stairs so it's a bit tricky with a wagon or stroller. It's just as easy to drive to the beach as well. We were very happy with our stay.

Rock House Visit August 2023

The property was as described. We enjoyed our stay there and found the beach was just a couple minute walk away. The kitchen had the items we needed. Owner had a regular coffee maker delivered as requested though it arrived on day two. The couch and the beds were comfortable along with the central air conditioning and fans. A PVC pipe disconnect of the water supply was addressed and fixed by maintenance quickly after our call for help. One issue on the downside was the fact that both toilets had flush components in the tanks, that needed to be replaced. We had to fix the toilet flush mechanisms several times during the stay. Overall, we enjoyed our vacation at the Rock House. Thank you Johnny.

Family Friendly

Overall, the property is very nice and the walk to the beach is quite easy. The accommodations inside are clean, family friendly and the lay out is nice. It easily held a family of 7 and provided enough seating for everyone for meals and for entertainment nights inside. You're close to the 'town' which made it easy to run quick errands for the few things we forgot. There is also filtered water at the sink, which made cooking easy as well as water for coffee. All of the kitchenware we needed was provided, and I loved the wine opener! The only area that needs some updating is the outside of the home. The patio furniture is rough and the gliders are broken. The sea air has taken it's toll on the wood and the outside of the home which is to be expected close to the beach, but updated pictures would be beneficial. Communication with the owner was fantastic! He was quick to respond and provide suggestions and had even reached out to us when another home let them know about an issue. We loved our time here, and the family had a lot of fun!

Weekend Retirement Event

Had a retirement party in Freeport on Saturday and decided to rent a beach house for the weekend. The house was central to the location. It was perfect for the weekend. Loved the fenced in yard for our dog to go outside. The property was clean and the lay out was great. Quite cul-de-sac away from the Beach but within walking distance. Only wished the place had a drip coffee maker and all would gave been perfect.
