The pool is a good size for small kids, its not that big. The house was nice, but was not the cleanness. It did have alot of dust, the bottom rooms did have mold on the ceilings. Overall the area is nice, and we still had a great time, the canal was a plus for fishing. The bbq pit shown on the picture is different, its just a regular bbq pit. Lots of beds for a big family.

Loved having the pool in the backyard. Plenty of space for big groups

The house was good for a family vacation of 17. The pool was small, but fun. The canal was good for some fishing or just a water view. Check in and out was easy. Kitchen had enough to make meals. We would stay here again.

First, I’m used to staying in Key Allegro, so please view through that lens. The location is good unless you want to experience restaurants etc in the main parts of Rockport. The house was clean enough. I’ve never left a bad review on VRBO, and that is not my intent but I do appreciate others’ reviews when choosing a house so I want to share my thoughts since the photos don’t capture everything. The owners put forth effort to make the house nice, but cut corners in the remodel process. I’m not even sure it’s up to code - extremely steep interior stairs, exposed wall outlets and the best part, a stainless oven hood that sticks out in an already very narrow passage that is frankly dangerous. All our guests hit their head on the corner of it. The kitchen is TINY! Two people struggled to cook in the unusually small space - you can’t tell from the photos online. The floor elevation has tiny step ups or step downs that will trip you up. The big master doesn’t have an en suite bath. And there is nearly nothing in the kitchen such as hand soap, etc. Bring everything. The shower looks like one of those cheap plastic showers that you’d find in an RV.. all fine, but the price point should reflect the quality of the house. Mold residue is visible, which I understand with the heat and humidity. Plenty of parking! Poor HVAC design with inconsistent temps. Overall not terrible but certainly needs investment, renovation and some TLC.
