The only concern we had was that the mattress on the master room needs to be replaced badly. Other than that it was fantastic!!

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.

Nice weekend getaway
Communication was great on our last minute booking. We enjoyed our short stay at this quaint cottage. The views were nice and water was clear. Bed was clean and comfortable. Enjoyed 2 restaurants in Rockport. We wished there was another couch or comfortable seating area.
