The best of Rockport is right outside your door in this homey, comfortable duplex, just 2 blocks from the beach. Outside, you’ll love the large backyard and covered patio for coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening. Inside, you’ll love the large, light-filled living space and cozy feeling created by the wood paneling, complemented by cheerful pops of color. The open kitchen features a full suite of appliances and an updated island – a perfect gathering space while the chef is cooking. Dine together at the large, adjacent table or step out into the sunroom for a meal.

Fire up the gas grill for dinner when you return from the day's adventures or visit one of the many restaurants within walking distance if you don’t feel like cooking. If you’ve got any remote work to catch up on, the high-speed WiFi will make it a breeze. At the end of the day, choose a spot on one of the comfy couches to stream your favorite movies before bed.

Great house to stay at in Rockport/Fulton

The home was extremely clean and roomy. More than enough space for the whole family. Conveniently located near all of the restaurants and night spots in Fulton. Overall a really great experience.

Same as last time.

When we stayed in the spring it was lovely, now that it's fall everything could use a deep clean.

Charming duplex

The property was a perfect location. We enjoyed our stay. We did have a problem checking in. The code didn’t work on the outside door. We called and the person couldn’t figure out how to open the outside door. The neighbor was able to open the door for us with her key. Then we had to get another code for the inside door. When we left the inside door code reverted back to the original code. So, it was a hassle getting in and out. Thank you to the neighbor that helped us get into the first door and left it unlocked during our stay. We will stay again. Hopefully the locking situation will be resolved.

Poor Communication

We arrived at our rental and 4 days into our stay, the dryer went out. The next day, the local host called ti let me know someone would be out to service it and she would keep me posted with an update and would process a refund for the inconvenience. Never got a status update or a refund. In fact she never called again. We paid such a large for for a so called “super host” that we didn’t even get a call from. So lugging laundry back and forth to the laundry mat was a huge inconvenience during our trip. I called to follow up on the refund and was told by the Vacasa rep that we had to have all the receipts from the laundry mat for any refund to be given. I let it go, but I’ll never book again with Vacasa.

Nice Vacay Stay

This was a nice home to stay in with a few drawbacks. This looks like an older home that was split into 3 units. 2 of the units are private residences and this rental unit sits between them. It looks like it was recently renovated and has a super nice eat-in kitchen, decent bedrooms, and nice bathrooms. It was very clean when we came in too. It is located in a nice neighborhood, close to the bay, and only about a 4 minute drive to the Fulton Harbor park with public pier. The layout is not exactly ideal though. One of the bathrooms is on the complete opposite side of the house from the bedrooms and other bathroom. This wasn’t big issue though. The creepy factor is also kinda high. There are curtains in the bedrooms and blinds on the front windows in the living room but they are notably missing from other areas. You can see into the house from the street and if you can see the back neighbors through the uncovered windows I’m pretty sure they can see you. There are also doors with with combination code pads that you can’t open. Some seem to be closet doors but some seem to attach to the residence on either side of you and one in the far bathroom that could lead into a room or the garage but there is no way for you to lock them on your side for a measure of security. Also the entrance to the unit is off the carport and opens into the laundry area which then has an interior door (it seems to have swollen or something because it takes a little muscle to open) that leads into a room that feels like an enclosed porch or mud room but is basically the beginning of the interior of the house (this is where the 2nd bathroom is). That door has no lock on it. Overall it was a nice quiet stay, but we feel that a few blinds and a few deadbolts would have made this a perfect stay.

Welcome to Winter Texan

Location was great, close to the waterfront. Having a gas grill to cook fresh drum and shrimp was nice. WiFi was consistent for working remotely. Friendly neighbors helped us know what was going on in the community. A lovely intro to being a Winter Texan.

Cozy and spacious retreat

This unique unit had a lot more space than we imagined from the pictures. The living room is large and cozy. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was perfect for preparing all meals. Has 2 full bathrooms, one with a great walk in shower and the other with a tub. We really enjoyed our stay.

Clean, cute, and comfortable

The unit is updated and furnished very nicely. It's a bit of a quirky floor plan, but very comfortable, nonetheless. Most concerning is the fact that other resident neighbors have the door code and come and go as they wish, using the unit's private laundry facilities. We didn't have anything valuable to worry about, but I would change that door code, you're paying for other people's water and electricity to do their laundry, not to mention they have full access to the unit.
