"Thank you so much for hosting us! Everything was absolutely PERFECT! We appreciate you!"

"We really enjoyed our stay! It is a BEAUTIFUL place to getaway for some R&R and to enjoy coastal life. The house is fully furnished along with all utensils, cookware, spices, towels, bedding, games, televisions, coffee pot, blender, and many other supplies. Many hours spent fishing and crabbing from private pier. Played corn hole on the downstairs area with plenty of room to spare. Location is great! We highly recommend this perfect getaway!"

"Great house that was just as pictured. What isn’t in the listing were the dolphins that came in every morning and evening and swam right by the fishing dock or the neighborhood association fireworks display that is shot off next door - no better display anywhere! The neighbors are incredibly friendly and helpful on both sides as well. While it’s a short drive into town, I’d say for a group trip, this house checks all the boxes and we really didn’t want to leave the house! Fishing from the dock we caught a few different varieties, although most were small so catch and release - but the grandkids loved it!"

"Perfect for boats. Roomy and clean. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back."

"Very nice place. Owner is very friendly and helpful. This was our 2nd year renting this place and will rent every time if available."

"Spacious property in a quiet neighborhood with great opportunities to see wildlife. Over the weekend we had multiple deer come through, a large turtle cross a couple of houses away, and multiple birds. We even got to see a gator at the viewing area down the road. Everything is neat a clean, with plenty of dishes and pans to use during our stay. On the down side the walls are are super thin so you can hear every inside if you stand out in the driveway (or across the house). Thank you for having us!"

"Enjoyed the stay "

"The home accommodates large families but is more like a fisherman’s paradise in regards to sleeping quarters. There are three private bedrooms downstairs and there is an huge upstairs bedroom that has beds for about maybe 12 people or more. Great for family reunions where you can put all the kids upstairs. Only problem is there is no restroom upstairs and only an outside entrance—no indoor staircase. So if you gotta tinkle at night—you gotta use the outdoor staircase and come into the main house. Other than that it’s a great place for large families. The back garage has a pool table, large bar, tv, ping pong-super nice but can use some remodeling. It was cold in there and there wasn’t a portable heater. We made the best of it and could all hang out and play games. I think overall I give the place a four out of five—just because it was comfy and all the family could be together. That’s what’s more important for me than luxury. So think of the place as a hunting/fishing no-nonsense place where you can lay your head. But the entire extended family can be under one roof. Oh—the house sits on probably an acre so plenty of parking and a super nice fire pit. Lots of wildlife—deer—roaming around that you can feed. The place could also use some nicer bedspreads! I did leave a couple things behind and tried to reach the owner but he never got back with me. Disappointing but it was the thanksgiving weekend so I’m guessing he was busy with his family. "

"Great affordable stay just outside of Rockport/Fulton! Neighborhood is quiet and not quite “secluded” but felt that way. Beware of abundant mosquitoes, especially in the mornings and evenings. But would definitely recommend and stay again!"
