Waterfront Escape

Home had everything we needed for cooking and plenty of towels, we usually bring our own on trips but these extras really helped out.

It would appear this property was damaged by the last hurricane and has been completely redone...rather nicely I might say. The only real issue I had was that it was not 100% complete. The entire upstairs and staircase had not had flooring work done (only wooden blanks). This was not in the description which would have been nice to know since my kids like to run around bare foot. There were other small issues like lighting wiring exposed under the kitchen cabinets, no lightbulbs downstairs under the carport and there were no blinds or curtains in the living room and parts of the kitchen. Other than that, the house is very nice and the setup is great for families. Plenty of seating, loved the rockers (everyone was fighting for them), kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The downside, the TV is only setup for Cable. There's no DVD player but HDMIs available (we have a fire stick we used most of the time). The neighborhood is pitch black at night and trying to find the house may be difficult once it gets dark bc there are no outside lights in the front. Rockport beach, HEB and restaurants are roughly 12-15 min away. The following will be helpful if you have small kids: There is no gate on the top deck for the stairs. We had to put up a baby gate to keep the kids from trying to go down the stairs. The main bathroom in the hallway has a full tub but no removable shower heads in any of the baths. The toilet runs in this bathroom as well. They don't lie when they say 1 towel/wash clothe per person so be prepared to wash daily. I did not see beach towels so bring your own. The bay is literally just steps out the back door so keep that in mind if you have small kids. However, my parents caught a lot of drum off the back yard pier/deck. I am not trying to complain, just making note of things I think future renters should be aware of. No place is perfect but we definitely enjoyed our stay. I would rent here again.

What a view! We enjoyed fishing on the dock and how big the house was. It had all the amenities we needed and I would recommend it to everyone!

Bring extra towels, they really only give you one/person as they say. The upstairs (very top) floor/bedroom is a little dangerous because the floor is badly warped which is not explained or shown in pictures. No electric can opener. The dryer would not dry even small loads. The property manager said she would put work orders in and address the issues. The lake was only about 3-4 feet deep off the dock and out. We did catch allot of very small catfish so the younger kids had fun but nothing large enough to keep. If your going to fish, go out on a boat in the bay or elsewhere. Overall we did have a good time.

Loved out stay, great property, will rent again.
