Recent guest reviews

The home is a bit dated, but a beautiful location and was just fine for us.

Quaint home in great location to events and restaurants. Downtown only 1/4 Mike walk and safe neighborhood

This was the best stay I’ve renting a property and I’ve stayed at a lot of different properties. Everything was stocked, the care kit was thoughtful, everything was clean and it smelled like it when you walked in. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you for a great time in Rockport!

This beautiful apartment is exactly as shown. Great location, parking, easy access, extremely comfortable, clean and has all the amenities including a washer and dryer. Location is outstanding; very walkable, with great coffee shops, restaurants, shops, bookstores and the harbor and Boulevard close by. Wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely stay there again.

FAQ

Yes, our oceanfront rentals offer direct beach access and are located just steps from the water.

Beach chairs, umbrellas, and other beach gear are often provided at many of our oceanfront vacation rentals. However, they are not a standard amenity across all oceanfront homes. We recommend reading the listing description thoroughly and looking at the home's list of amenities.

Many of our oceanfront vacation homes and condos include a private balcony or deck with stunning ocean views, along with water views from many of the rooms. Although that is not standard among all oceanfront rentals. We recommend looking at all the photos and taking a property’s 3D tour to make sure the property offers the amenities you’d like.

Some oceanfront rentals, especially those located on popular beaches, may include an outdoor shower or designated area to rinse off sand. This is not a standard feature across all rentals, but is more common in properties where guests participate in beach and water activities. We recommend reading the listing description thoroughly and looking at the home's list of amenities.
