Mid September '24

Great location, comfortable property with really nice beds, nicely equipped with good AC. Could easily stay here again. The secondary toilet seemed to work ok, but neither one of us was going to sit on it. It looked questionable. We didn't need it, as the master bath toilet was fine. All 3 bedrooms looked fine, but we only used the master. Happy customer.

Great place close to Historic District

Property is very nice, with comfortable beds. It was clean and had plenty of parking. We walked a couple of blocks to see the fireworks on the 4th with no traffic or hassle. We highly recommend this property.

Rockport Fun!

The Wharf Cottage was very comfortable and as described. Beds were great. We had a great family getaway only 2 blocks from the main tourist area. We stayed soon after a tropical storm so the mosquitoes were horrible. The Rockport Beach was a short distance away and very nicely maintained. Super nice grassy area for dogs at the cottage but no secure fence to keep a little one contained.

OK but lacks Security

Convenient location, but yard is not fenced in & no outside lighting for security at night on edge of commercial area. Inside, there is comfortable furniture, TV choices are great, gas stove is great, plenty of room for your stuff (if you move the cleaning supplies out of way that are randomly put into various closets).

Wharf Cottage

We loved the floor plan, tastefully decorated, with all the conveniences of home. It was nice to have a tv in each bedroom & a large tv in the living area. We appreciated the large beach towels. We liked having open shelves & drawers available for our clothing & supplies.

It was clean. I had planned to have two more people and one or two dogs with me but lthat didn't happen. The only problem was the entry code did not work, but I called the number on the instructions sent by email and got a new entry code that worked.

Great location

This rental is in a great location. You can walk to just about anything in Rockport. The coffee shops, shopping, the pier, etc. It is larger than it looks. The beds and furniture are comfortable. The outdoor area is nice. We'd stay there again. If I had to mention why it is 4 stars, the outdoor string lights don't work (it would have been awesome if we hadn't spent 30 minutes trying to get them to work), the thermostat required batteries (that we had to go buy), roach carcasses (at least they were dead), could be cleaner (oddly, it's the walls and baseboards that are in need), and I think the kitchen could use a few items like, another short bar stool (one person has to sit high up if there are 4 adults), cling wrap, and another spatula. Overall, no big deal. We enjoyed our time and we'd certainly do it all over again. Thanks!
