Very nice place

We travel to Rockport for the first time just to have a couple of days of relaxing, and this house was just the right place. We did enjoy the deck. It has window units, not central AC, and ceiling fans in every room, however, if the noise bothers you, the window unit in the main bedroom is noisy. Noise does not bother me

Joy Cottage on Water Street

We loved the location which is less than 100 feet from the water, where we could see many birds and dolphins. The cottage was fully furnished and photos are accurate. We had a couple of minor issues, taken care of quickly.

The Joy cottage

It’s everything a cottage is supposed to be , enjoyed the stay would go there again and will recommend it to my friends and family. The fishing was great with the exception of the lighting it needs more lighting Joy have your maintenance guy install a few more lights and you will be set . Also correct your listing because it stays a 20 foot pier when it’s every bit of 200 foot . That alone will get you more customers. Over all expect me and my group to return soon . Love you guys keep up the good work 🎣. Joe

Beachfront

The house needs to be cleaned better and the furniture is uncomfortable also some updates would really help this property. Overall it’s not a bad place to stay for a single guy but I would not take a lady friend to this house for a weekend getaway. Also the grass burrs in the yard are a problem.

Labor Day Getaway

Joys Beach Cottage is a cute little place to stay. It was close to restaurants, shopping and the beach. My daughter and husband were able to fish on the pier, and most everything we needed such as dishes, cookware, utensils, etc.. were provided. Both the owner and the rental agency were quick to answer any questions and took care of any concerns promptly.

Do not stay here - overpriced and uncomfortable

This property is not as advertised. There is absolutely no WIFI. One of the beds has a huge lump in it. The other beds are saggy and the linens are pilled and old-looking. The bathroom is tiny. The kitchen does not have anything but dishes and rusty/dirty pots and pans. The chairs outside for sitting on the uncovered porch are dirty and broken. The whole place is outdated, not clean, and uncomfortable. The windows have plastic and cardboard in them and windows are very dirty. And did we mention there's no wifi? We rented this place because we had to work while away and the wifi network did not even show up as an option. We would never stay here again or recommend it to friends.

Great location, beautiful views

This property was perfect for those looking for quiet views of the water and access to a fishing pier. The check in process was so easy and the property is very clean. The home is an older home so the kitchen layout was a little different and cozy. As long as you don’t plan to cook big meals, you will have all the space you will need. The bathroom is very small and we found we had to leave the door open to use the sink comfortably. The bed was comfortable and there were TVs in the main room and bedroom. The wifi did not work while we were there but management was willing to come and fix it quickly.
