Rockport Fishing Weekend

We appreciated the opportunity to stay at this property, it’s very relaxing and offers plenty of time to bond w/those in your group. However, a deep clean would go a long way. This property offers 3 large, curbside trash bins to properly dispose of garbage yet each of them were overflowing as we pulled in for our weekend stay. The shower curtain liner is in desperate need of replacing. The primary bedroom shows a great need for general housekeeping as a collection of dust, dirt, and grime has pooled at the bed baseboard, near the headboard. The primary bedroom ceiling fan could not be used as the chain pull was politely left on the television stand. Also, falling asleep maybe difficult in this room due to the a/c unit loudly engaging throughout the night. For these reasons, unsure why a “Cleaning Fee” is assessed and required for payment.

Not what I expected

Pros...the location was great for fishing. We had a great time catching fish. The a/c worked great! Cons...We were greeted at our cottage with the trash over flowing in the bins. The whole week there the trash was never picked up. The house definitely needed some repairs. The floor was separating in the kitchen. The chairs in the kitchen were in need of repair and there was a fair amount of rust everywhere. The biggest complaint that I have was the listing really needs for a sleeps 4 instead of 6. There were 6 in our party. We brought air mattresses so the kids didnt have to sleep together on the sofa. The living room could not accommodate 6 without someone sitting on the stairs, neither could the table and the very limited kitchen only had 5 plates. I have been renting vrbos for the last 10 years and this was probably the worst property that i stayed in.

Loved it.

We absolutely loved the property. My kiddos had a blast. We fished until our arms felt like they were going to fall off, saw dolphins in the mornings up close, ducks everywhere, there were some jellyfish up near the house rock/porch area, the whole setting was great and the sunsets were beautiful, the house was just the perfect size for us. 4, myself, my dad, my 20 yr old and my 15 year old. We would definitely come back again!

Unique Setting, Amenities Lacking

It was definitely a unique setting, however there are some finer points left to be desired. The private dock access is pretty cool. The place itself has some issues. There was no soap to be found for hand washing or cleaning dishes. The toilet paper supply was cutting it pretty close. The water damage from the hurricane is noticable, who knows the mold situation behind the sheetrock. Aside from those things, the nextdoor neighbor is a party house. And arguably the most annoying thing about the place was a random alarm from some unknown location in the house that wakes you up in the early morning.

The Bay Cottage is the perfect place for a getaway! Great for sitting on the dock first thing in the morning, having coffee and watching the sunrise and always watching the stunning sunsets in the evening! Morgan is always professional, kind and goes out of her way to take care of us. We love everyone that works for Miss Kitty’s.

Copano Bay Cottage

One of our favorite places to stay while in Rockport. The kitchen needs a quick inventory for some additional utensils such as cutting knives etc. Also the grounds need to be cleaned up there is some dead landscape such as a dead palm crown that could pose a hazard if it fell on someone.
