Great location, fenced backyard was huge and the dogs loved it. The hot tub was a great amenity, the house was just as pictured, clean, and comfortable. Definitely recommend
Great home and location. Our dogs absolutely loved the yard and running with the neighbors dogs. Great weekend getaway! The one hing we could say could’ve been better was the master bedroom mattress- we found it to be uncomfortable.
Our family came to visit, relax, and fish. The house was in a perfect location with easy access to boat ramps and bait. We enjoyed visiting on the backyard porch while our doodles enjoyed running around in the big yard. In the evening we found ourselves lounging in the cozy living room, watching movies, plenty of space for everyone! Great property, clean, comfortable, and cozy.
Property was absolutely perfect for us with room to spare. Excellent yard for our fur baby, open floor plan to accommodate our needs. Furniture very comfy and easy to use amenities. Will definitely stay again. Thank you so very much!
Perfect size home, everything new inside. Nice location , we could see the water from the balcony. Overall very good, just looked like either it was cleaned in a rush between guest or ?? Floors, sinks, bath and showers weren’t cleaned, hair left behind. Very nice appliances. Lots of dogs on both sides, lots of barking, I had smaller dogs, but they handled it very well. If you love dogs you will be fine. Very nice neighbors to the right- tried so hard to control their dogs and kept apologizing. Also we accidentally locked ourselves out and property manager assisted very quickly and we were back in in 2 mins- thank you.
Location of property seemed a bit distant from town initially but was actually less than 3-4 miles depending on where we were headed. The area was nice and quiet, the backyard was fantastic for our fur baby! The outdoor deck and patio were wonderful! Would definitely consider staying again!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Nautical Nest! It was spacious enough for my family and our fur babies! A big plus was the cleanliness and openness for my 7 month old to crawl around and play. The yard was big with plenty of room for our German Shepherds. 10/10 will stay here again!
We really enjoyed this house. It has a great set up for families. The backyard was a great place for the 3 year old to play and the adults loved the seating area and hot tub! It was just a 5 minute drive to the beach park. It was a perfect location for us!
This is the second time my husband and I have stayed here with our little Corgi. The backyard is great as he loves to run and play ball. There are dogs on both sides of the property but they all seem to get along , just a bit of initial barking. The property is just as pictured, living area and kitchen are very spacious, however there is no dining table but there are barstools and a large countertop. My husband and I found plenty of dishes and cookware and we ate all of our meals in for four nights. We did bring our own spices, oil, etc. The house is convenient to Main St. if you don’t mind walking a couple of miles.Would definitely stay again!
Property itself was great. Beds were not the most comfortable but they were clean. The dogs next door were irritating and were aggressive at my dogs the entire time which it difficult for potty breaks.

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our time here! The washer and dryer got a lot of use and we enjoyed the faucet outside with the hose and sprayer nozzle to wash off the sand before we went inside after the beach! Great way to keep the property clean! The stay was great! Thanks.
This is hands down the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever rented and was exactly as pictured/described! What a gorgeous home! You will not be disappointed if you stay here!I brought my Mom to town for a special Mother’s Day. Although our primary reason for visiting was to tour the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi, we did get to spend time around town in Rockport as well. Plenty of things to do and see in both areas. You won’t be disappointed!
We had a wonderful time. In fact my favorite part about rockport was just being at the house, hanging out in the hot tub and playing cornhole. We brought our set but they already had it! We didnt bring our animals but we could have and they would loved it too. Nice space.
