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.

This is our 3rd stay at this house. We always look forward to our stay. We really enjoy the house and proximity to the beach. It definitely feels like our home away from home at this point.

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.

Loved the house and fenced deck and yard. Close to everything.

I would definitely rent this place again. You just wanna bring mosquito spray. They bite hard Maybe also bring bottled water to drink cause the water isn’t exactly clear. I loved the soft beds and having a washer n dryer were helpful when clothes got dirty. I give it 5 outta 5 stars
