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

Quaint fishing cottage!

Comfy and cozy cottage, had everything we needed for a restful weekend. The bathroom was outfitted nicely, but tiny...we are large folks so that's the only thing that would keep us from returning.

A Beautiful View from the cottage and from the pier

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The little cottage by the sea has a beautiful view and the private pier is awesome for watching the sunrise and sunset. Nina the manager of the property was very responsive and very patient and very helpful. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was adequately stocked with cookware and all we needed. There are steps from the sitting area into the dining/kitchen area. The location was convenient for walking to downtown for meals and shopping and also for the tourist spots. Water Street has a fascinating history and is a fun walk. I would definitely stay again.

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.

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.

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.

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

pros and cons

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: pros: wonderful view, quiet, pier (but the end had been torn off by a recent storm and no lights); parking was greatCons: old so it was dirty in places--had not been thoroughly cleaned. Room window unit air conditioners did not work properly; ceiling fan made terrible noises--could not use the one in the bedroom; bathroom, especially shower were very small; only 4 washcloths provided for the entire week;more towels would also be nice.

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.
