Gorgeous comfortable home base for a family reunion

We were so happy to be able to book the Wood House for our Thanksgiving weekend in Rockport. The owners did a fabulous job on the renovations. We had six adults and the house was perfect for us. The beds are so comfortable I am actually researching the mattresses for our home. We slept well, loved the spa and pool and the Sonos sound system. There is a cute coffee shop literally across the street and Rockport Donuts a short walk away. Zero complaints from start to finish and we look forward to booking again

Construction site next door

We have stayed at the property many times over the years with good experiences. We were disappointed that the property manager didn't disclose the extremely loud construction site with heavy equipment, including cranes and drilling rigs, immediately next door.

Wonderful Experience!

Every single thing about this house was thoughtfully and beautifully done! From the fixtures to the amenities, it was all so lovely. The layout was great - so many good gathering spots that people could have space if they needed it. The bedrooms were very comfortable. I have never seen such well-decorated bathrooms, even! We were in the pool every day and loved being able to walk and golf cart around the downtown. Also loved being able to see the wharf from the house. Everything we could have needed for cooking and relaxing was available. We brought our own bocce set and had a tournament on the gorgeous lawn. We also really enjoyed the outdoor sound system while swimming. Cannot wait to stay there again!!

This property has to be on the top of anyone's list looking for a relaxing weekend or a fishing trip to the Texas coast. The setting and the property are both 10 out of 10. Everyone who reached out was polite and professional. They all provided great information and/or resolved my inquiry promptly.

Had it all

This home is absolutely stunning! I have no negatives. Construction was happening next door, but it never bothered us at all. The pool was clean and a lot of fun for our family to gather and play. We used the hot side once and it was wonderful. Bring your own floaties. Lots of kitchen tools, plates, etc. Everything in working order. Beds so comfortable. It's a gorgeous house. Wish we could've stayed longer!

Nothing Short of Spectacular!

The Historical Wood home was like stepping back in time, but with all of the modern conveniences. This home was beautifully and impeccably restored. The back porch, swimming pool, covered pavilion and front porch rockers were enjoyed by all. The home was very clean and the beds were wonderful. We loved how the family of this home used original fixtures, mirrors and photographs to accentuate the history of this historical dwelling. The air conditioning worked fabulously and is one of a kind. Everything about this home is over the top perfection.

Charming and easy!

We had a family gathering to celebrate my mother at this property and our group consisted of people age 18 months to 67 years. It was fitting for all ages and the pool was a major bonus. We really enjoyed hanging out on the porch and exploring the home's history. I loved the abundance of towels for the multiple pool dips and beach trips, the handy cleaning supplies, the outdoor dining space, and the sleeping nooks to keep the littles safe while snoozing so the parents could enjoy a cold beverage downstairs and outdoors. It was a short drive to the beach (just across the street) and a stroll away from cute beach shopping. The host was responsive and hospitable. The sound system was a real treat and the oldness of the home gave a "haunted" aspect that was fun to spook the kids with (hehe). Our only complaint is that we did not stay longer!! We look forward to coming back next summer! PS If you stay here, make a point to read to guest book and see what you find out about a particularly special guest in the past! ;)

Wonderful home for a family

We had two families with two children each stay at the home. So much space for the children and adults. The weather was rather cold for Spring Break week, but the heated pool was a life saver! The screened in porch shielded the wind and a great place for the adults to hang out and play cards. This was the second time renting the property and we can’t wait to come back!

Family getaway before school starts

This property exceeded our expectations with regards to the cleanliness of the property and the overall decor. Every piece of furniture was comfortable and my kids thoroughly enjoyed waking up to spend all day in the pool. A great destination property for a short family trip. We already have plans to come back again! Thank you for everything to the staff at YKnot property management. They kept us in the loop every step of the way with changes related to the property during our stay. See you soon!

Lovely house but terrible communication & blurry rules

When we first arrived the house was lovely! Everything was so clean, we enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch with the fans and not having to worry about bugs getting us. The kitchen was supplied with everything needed to cook a meal. But our trip quickly went bad on Saturday while celebrating our daughters first birthday (an event) that we had notified the management company about before booking through VRBO. Never were we asked about the number of guests or anything after stating that we were celebrating a birthday on the booking. While opening gifts during my daughters first birthday celebration I was contacted and told that I need to pay a ridiculously large extra amount for the event that was taking place. Keep in mind that at the time the rules stated, “Any visitors beyond the number of guests registered in your booking will be charged a ____ per day fee unless an event was arranged in advance.” (An event was arranged in advance when I stated we would be celebrating a first birthday) This caught us extremely off guard. Being in a customer facing sales role for a large dealership I completely understand that when you provide a service or product, appropriate compensation is required. However, the product/service provider has a responsibility to be honest and provide a great deal of communication and integrity up front and before hand. It was never communicated to us when we paid originally if the event charge/ deposit was included on the invoice that we paid. Because we are good people and wanted to do the right thing as well as enjoy the rest of the day celebrating our daughter we paid immediately on Saturday after being contacted multiple times in the middle of the birthday party. I also understand our hands are tied at this point because we did the right thing. After reflecting on the situation, I feel the lack of communication and very blurry “event rules” from both management and the owners should be made clear and updated on future contracts so people like us can make decisions on where to rent ahead of time as the rules are not very straightforward. I DO NOT RECOMMEND renting this house if you plan on having any guests, much less an event. As even if you advise the owners of your plans, your entire day may be ruined by phone calls and email requests to pay an additional large fee.
