Setup was great. Outside area was perfect for hanging out and bbqing. Hammock was a winner with the kids. Will keep this property on my list to rebook. Amenities and setup was ideal. Kitchenware was a bit dated. Overall was great.
We did not spend a ton of time in the rental because we were attending a retreat nearby but, the house was clean and comfortable and just what we needed. The detached downstairs apartment worked for our situation, but might be tricky for a larger family wanting all their people behind the same locked door.
Our family really enjoyed our stay. It was close to the beach, roomy and comfortable. We enjoyed the access to the pool. Overall everything was great my only suggestion would be to deep clean after stays. The property was clean but noy VERY clean.. dust and dirt was on the floors, ceiling fans, tub, etc. The BBQ pit was really dirty. Nothing major just minor inconveniences, i would still recommend this property, and would consider staying again.
The downstairs outside was VERY dirty. Couldn't use the beautiful downstairs dining set because it was filthy (not just sandy) and there were NO cleaning supplies. Windex would have been nice, but it should have been clean upon arrival. The entire downstairs hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. Luckily, the inside was fairly well kept. Furniture was nice, bed was great, plenty of clean linens, great A/C and big TVs!
It wasn't what we were looking for, we wanted to be walking distance from a fishing pier, walking distance from a swimming pool (700 yards IF you walked thru yards and on water... had to walk around a busy winding street without sidewalks)
We also REALLY wanted a water view... there wasn't one.
It's a beautiful house and neighborhood. Just wasn't what we were needing.
Over-all 3 stars because we had to clean when we arrived and couldn't even use the downstairs dining, which was part of the reason we wanted that house. Beautiful house just not at all the right location for us. I did email several times trying to make sure it was what we wanted... responses were vague. Won't stay there again.
We enjoyed our stay and the property was great for a family vacation
The description and pictures were accurate. The furnishings and appliances were clean and in good condition. The upper bunk bed would be good for children, but not stable enough to support older teens or adults.
I had ZERO issues booking, getting there, and entering the home. It was a really nice and clean house inside. The location was really nice in an area that is being renovated with some really nice homes. We loved how close everything was to us, including the beach, which was only a ten-minute drive. We loved the small-town feel of Rockport as well.
So why not 5 stars? Well, here are some issues we had during our stay.
We couldn't connect to the Wifi Network as it was not as the guest portal listed for us. Thankfully, we got us on the next day with the help of Amy and support.
The TV in the living room wouldn't work. Even after I figured out how to get the Direct TV device to work and get connected to the network, you had to log in. When I tried connecting the TV to the network, it wouldn't. It was telling me to factory reset to see if that would work, but I was not going to go that route with someone else's TV.
One day we had small black ants in the boys' room on the bottom bunk bed, even though there was no sign of food, crumbs, or anything to attract them. Once I got rid of them, they did not return.
There was a warning about the construction across the street and there was definitely the noise of construction across the street. They were literally tearing up an old home and the foundation. It was loud. The day I tried to take a nap with my youngest, the lawn care team showed up to mow the yard, I had no idea they would be there.
Not sure why they didn't mention the bathroom and shower in the bottom but it's nice to have in case of an emergency.
This was a great location for vacation and was a beautiful property and area. Only drawback was construction on house across street but we were gone most of the day so was minimal annoyance. Still give it great review - had a great time!
