Not too big, not too small. Great outdoor space and love the private pier! We would definitely rent again. Only issue was very low water pressure in the showers.

Had a great stay!
The place was great but the property manager needs to replace the grate on the grill, update the WiFi instructions and fix the wood floors that are warped from water or moisture in a few spots. Loved the area and recommend Fulton Pier, Tackletown, USS Lexington, Mustang Island State Park and North Padre National Seashore.

Fishing Spring Break
We had a great time. Was hoping the kids were busy fishing but 4 days and all they caught was 1 catfish. They did enjoy the crab trap. That was their highlight. House was clean and comfortable in a great location.

Beautiful location
We so enjoyed the house and it’s location. The kids loved fishing off of the pier. Th home was beautiful and restful. The only complaint is that the WiFi exists, but is so slow that no one could use it. It would be worth an upgrade so that families can readily use the internet to search things to do and watch Netflix, Hulu, etc.

Beautiful house
Beautiful house in a great area. Loved the little pier to fish off of. We all had a great time, we were bummed out the the TV didn’t work. We did contact someone about it, they came out and looked at it and we never heard anything else. Overall it was a great visit.

Rockport vacation
Some of the pillows were yellow from usage...too many people have slept on them and two fan lights from spare bedrooms were burnt out. Couches in living room can improve, when you seatdown you fall into couch.

Family fun
Overall we had a good stay. The property is cute and well kept. There are numerous rules to be followed for the property that I wasn’t fully aware of prior to our stay. Ideally, you will be on the beach or pier most of your stay, but if you plan to relax and stream any tv/movies after a day of fun that won’t be possible as there is very poor internet service with no capability of utilizing the WiFi. The property met all our needs and we enjoyed our visit.

Quiet relaxing time
The house is right on the lake. So my favorite part is that you can see the lake from the couch. Very calming. We caught a couple of black drums right from the back deck. One major problem is that the mattress in one of the bedrooms is very saggy, needs replaced in my opinion. Thanks

Nice vacation home near Rockport
Nice 3 bedroom home,enjoyed the fishing pier.2 beds were in need of replacing mattress maybe. Disposal had an odor.Had most of what we needed for cooking purposes. Nice wine storage refrigerator. Left handrail needs attention. A little wobbling for going down the steps out back. Overall had a great cooling system for this hot Texas weather! We appreciated that! Thanks!

Salt Lake Beach House
Home was clean & roomy. Pier was awesome, so nice to sit out by the water in the evening. Could use more shade on the back patio in the afternoon. Bedrooms & baths were convenient for 3 couples. Love the walk-in showers in both bathrooms; however with the large trough sinks, there was no counter space. Did not care for the bar height table & stools - hard to sit & play dominoes for any length of time!
