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.

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.

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.

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.
