DO NOT STAY HERE!
There were mice nests in the bookshelves. A very oderifious musty smell coming from the crawl space under the cottage into it from a grate in living room covered by a rug. Green mold on wood paneling. Dead bugs in blankets. Spiders in corners. Lawn was very overgrown. Mold on the books. Find anywhere else but here.

Charming & Convenient
This home was absolute charm and character - my boyfriend and I will be talking about this stay for years to come. We loved the library, spent our mornings and evenings sipping coffee and looking at the spectacular view, and everything was so convenient to Rockport and nearby. We had more than enough towels, clean linens, and pillows to keep us comfortable. Unfortunately, cleanliness did leave a bit to be desired - we washed each dish before we used it, and dust bunnies had collected behind and around a lot of the furniture. Kitchen organization was haphazard, and more than a few spiders had made themselves home here as well. All in all, we are so happy to have rented this property, but it should be known that the charm comes with more than a few rustic characteristics.

Charming
After reading all the reviews, I arrived with weighty wondering at the opportunity to clearly discover - who am I? The grateful admirers or the snooty complainers? I loved it. It felt like stepping back in time to a family property untouched by time and years, it reminded me so much of a family property I grew up going to each summer that so comfortingly stayed the same as life changed. The view of the water and wildflowers surrounding are absolutely breathtaking. Peaceful places to sit indoors and outdoors! Less than a mile walk from the charming town of Rockport and 2 miles to gorgeous Halibut point state park. The parking situation is legit tight and steep, I was so glad I didn’t have my suburban! But all the wood and trees that made it hard to park added to how secluded it felt. At night, we did get pretty creeped out. There was no deadbolt or secondary lock on either door.(think bathroom/bathroom type knob lock on one and rusty hook/eye on the other). It felt pretty vulnerable security-wise for two ladies, and we had some trouble sleeping because of being creeped out. Perhaps it wouldn’t feel this way to someone familiar with the area. Despite our vivid imaginations of terrifying scenarios, we lived to tell!

Cozy seaside oasis
This little gem in the rough was so perfect for my family. LOVED the house, the outdoor space, the books and just the overall uniqueness. The flowers were just blooming and they were obviously tended to with care. The only recommendation I would make is to get new mattresses. It would really make staying there more comfortable

Shabby Cottage
Some reviews say this property is a dump. That’s NOT the case. If you like the Hilton, stay at the Hilton. If you like rustic, quaint, quiet, secluded, antiques, etc. this is the place. No, it doesn’t have a ton of amenities. That’s not a bad thing. It’s “back to basics” and is set in an amazing spot right on the water. Such a cool place. The cons: If you have a hard time walking, etc. DO NOT book. It’s a very steep walkway to the house. Don’t overlook this point. Also, this property has a TOn of potential, but the surrounding areas around the house are unkempt and very messy. Clean this up and the place is an absolute knock out. That’s the only thing keeping it from 5 stars. We’ll be back.

lovely setting
Great location. Private yet easy walk into town for 2 sixty year old ladies. Really enjoyed the yard and view overlooking the water. Rockport was a lovely place to stroll around and the restaurants were good. Admittedly, the cottage could use some attention. I love the rustic ambiance but a little upgrading would make this rental even better. Definitely not the place for the resort crowd1

Great Location, Charming Cottage
This cottage has character, privacy, amazing ocean views, and charm in abundance. We were very content and comfortable here. However, it does have accessibility challenges for those with mobility issues, and people who expect a sanitized, "matchy" environment should probably stick to more conventional places. This is for adventurous folks who appreciate history and character and are able to navigate a steep access path. .

If Rustic= Rundown with junk around then description= accurate
My review Arrival: Couldn't get the key out of lockbox. Called and was on the phone for a while. Told that maintenance person would call me right away. I got there to check in at 4pm and didn't get any communication from the maintenance person until 6pm. Luckily I was able to bang the box with my fist and finally get it to open. Very stressful. NO apologies were given for the inconvenience. Bathroom: Tiles missing, the shower is gross as the shower curtain covering the window bellows into the shower space and touches your skin while you take a shower. The shower curtain in the window plus the normal shower curtain make the space so narrow it's not possible to avoid this. When I took a shower, the smoke detector went off (inconveniently located directly outside the bathroom door). This was very stressful and happened every time I took a shower. Windows: probably original from the 40's (most of them), difficult to open and close. Property: Beautiful view however, there is lots of debris around. Parking: An abundance of garbage cans (probably around 40 or so on the property near the parking area which makes it hard to park two cars, multiple wheel barrows, enough chopped wood for a life time, tarps, rotting wood) Kitchen: Light is horrible colored fixture that makes it difficult to see Refrigerator: No light inside Microwave: Cannot use in the kitchen, the outlet wouldn't work, so I had to move it into the living room to use it. Toaster oven: Another pain the neck to use since you had move the microwave to make room so you can plug in and use it. Coffee Cups: Many were chipped Beds: The twin bed in the small bedroom had what looked like an antique bed spring mattress that was brown and falling apart. Furniture: The place lacked comfortable furniture which was frustrating. The couch in the main room is horrible and sink into the middle, the loveseat in the library room is impossible to sit in and looks like it was attacked by a cat. The only comfortable chair has a blanket over it and that was stained. Noise: The house immediately next door had a roof replacement going on and made relaxing impossible at times. Creepy guy: Creepy guy pushing wheel barrow around on property, felt uneasy seeing the guy since he looked homeless but he seemed to be doing something with all the garbage cans and wheelbarrows around Friend & son visited and both were unimpressed but loved the view. High price, high fees. Regret it.

The view was the most wonderful part. The cottage was more shabby than the pictures on Verbo. Rips in furniture, oven not working, smell of old antique furniture and books dusty. The driveway was narrow and difficult to maneuver. The incline up to the drive was steep for us (over 70). Also, bathroom shower/tub was not as pictured. Very disappointed in the cottage itself.

great spot to enjoy the outdoors, the waterview and wildlife
Funky is how we'd describe the house with it's amazing decor from another era. Some of the furniture is worn but adds to the charm in an odd way. The library offers reading (or just checking out the title on the spine) on an incredible number of subjects. The driveway is very steep and demands a wide swing into the opposite lane to get the car aimed between two stone posts that designate the driveway entrance. The distance from parking area is maybe 50 yards downhill on a grassy surface to reach the house. Luggage must be carried from the parking area. The house and yard are very private as is the sitting area overlooking the the water. We spent hours in the lawn chairs enjoying the boats and birds. There appears to be a resident red fox and a pair of Black-crowned Night Herons. The importance of these things far outweighed any slight inconvenience.
