Great place close to shops and beach . I caught some big fish off the pier
We loved the location. The stairs may be a problem in the future. The five of us are ages from 72 to 79. The beds were very comfortable and kitchen was great. It would have been nice to have foil and baggies in the kitchen and the garage can drawer needs repairs. The top shelf of the dishwasher also needs to be repaired. Overall it was a wonderful stay. The view was beautiful!
An exceptionally nice property. Above a usual VRBO rental, Above quality woodwork and cleanliness. Everything we needed was provided. I am a 90 year old male and my guests were three female friends 80+ in age.
Great house! Plenty of room and well stocked. Plenty of kitchen cookware, etc. - including both types of coffee makers. 3 1/2 bathrooms!!!!!! Access to the fishing pier was perfect. Great location - close to Rockport Beach and Main Street for shopping and dining. Cute photo ops off Main Street and there is a candy store! It was a little hot upstairs, so I suggest bringing a fan. It's an older house so it is expected. Wifi was spotty but that is normal in small towns - especially during the windy season and by the water. Can't wait to book again!
The place is definitely an older stay, reminds me of Agatha Christie books but it had modern amenities. There was enough room for the family, my mother in law got her own room on first floor. Place was a lot bigger than I expected, didn’t know about the parlor in front. The pier was fun, caught a lot of fish, black drum red drum, and catfish. If you feel really brace, you can wade in and go chest deep for sea trout. Communication with host was excellent. We plan to visit again. The drum were biting off right side off pier during evening.

I an 60 and have been vacationing in Rockport since I was 6. My family and I enjoyed our stay at Joys house more than any other stay In Rockport over the years. Originally I had paid a week for a house that was several blocks away from the water. The owner decided to stay at that house, so Nina with the property management company gave me some other choices. I picked Joys beach house. We were not disappointed. Very spacious waterfront 2 story house. The views from the front porch and balconies off the 2 large upstairs bedrooms was awesome. While we were there there was a storm moving in and we had the privilege to meet the owner Joy. She had come over to batten down the hatches around that house and the one next door due to the tropical disturbance headed our way. She was a very delightful caring lady and we are thankful to have met and talked with her. The house was very clean and we really enjoyed the spacious rooms throughout and the awesome large kitchen. I love to cook! Other than my favorite frying pan that I had taken, the kitchen had about everything else that a cook would need. We fished off the pier that was close to the house and had a blast. Nina with the property mgmt company was very professional and helpful. throughout our stay

Reviewer Comments:
To be quite honest, it was not pleasant. We arrived the temperature was 89 degrees in the house. We tried to call your office an never was able to reach you. You need to have an emergency number to call on weekends When we left Sunday morning the temp was 79! We bought 4 fans so we could have a little comfort. Our bedroom downstairs had the windows boarded shut so there was not any light in there at all! It was like a dungeon! The ceiling fan did not work either. The so called other bedroom downstairs had to couches in it that was supposed to be day beds, a joke). That was not even a bedroom !!! The kitchen was great. The furniture was so low my wife and I had to have help to get out of them. The biggest thing was we could not get in touch with you! We went by were you are supposed to have your office, I guess in the church buildings, a could not even find your office. There were not enough towels a the sheets in our bedroom was not clean or at least had hair on the bottom one. Were we happy with the place I would give a rating of 1 on all. Location was great. Just not enough viewing windows in front.
Our team enjoyed staying in this home while traveling to Ingleside for work.

Very spacious home in a great waterfront location and beautiful views. Nice kitchen. It needs a better A/C system as it was a bit warm and humid.
We enjoyed our stay. Wish the A/C worked a little better. Other than that, it was great.

Wonderfully place to stay for a large family. Prop mgmt company very responsive to questions.
VERY ROOMY; Everyone had a bedroom and a bath; rooms were very spacious. Balconies were enjoyable to sit on in the mornings to watch the sunrise and to relax in the evenings.
Loved the house. Only issue was the house would not cool lower than 75.

Great location with beautiful view. Home is pretty dated and could definitely use a refresh. The AC needs to be replaced, as it is very hot in upstairs bedrooms.
The location of the house was great for the beaches we wanted to visit both in Rockport and Port Aransas. The bedroom with the king size bed was WARM all weekend. You had to go through a bathroom to get to a bedroom and through a bedroom to get to the front door. Strange!Liked that each bedroom had a bathroom!

This was the annual fishing trip of the Back Bay Speckled Trout & Redfish Club. We don't usually stay in places quite this nice. We wanted a house with a pier for night fishing and this fit the budget. There were enough beds and sofas for 8 straight guys. Parking was a challenge for 2 trucks with boat trailers and 4 other vehicles. Management was great and easy to do business with. Got a much better rate from them than thru any of the online rental services. All in all we were impressed with the cleanliness and very satisfied with our stay.
