House was beautiful and comfortable. Close to historic Main Street shopping. Quiet neighborhood. ##### Kimberly J. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa D. Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Yearly Family Rockport Trip Every year, we visit Rockport with our kids. My grandparents used to own a house downtown, so we have many fond memories of the area. The house was definitely worth the price, and our 10-year-old loved celebrating her birthday there. We had a birthday dinner, and our other daughter had everything she needed in the kitchen for cooking. ##### Melissa D. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tichelle H. Jun 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home in convenient location House was exactly as advertised. Open concept, comfortable bed (didn’t use the bunks but they looked to have thicker than standard upgraded mattresses), spacious, easy walk to downtown and/or the beach (20 ish minutes), quiet neighborhood, big backyard, streaming apps on the tv with guest access, and everything you’d need in a kitchen. No complaints! ##### Tichelle H. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori R. Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very Clean with Well-Equipped Kitchen This property was very clean with a well-equipped kitchen, great appliances, close enough to walk to downtown area. I would recommend letting people know ahead of time about there only being room for 2 vehicles. We had 2 big trucks, a boat, and a car. Thankfully, the property next door wasn't being used while we were there, so we used some of the space in front of that house to park. ##### Lori R. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025
