Comfortable Little House
Everything about this little house was perfect. We were exploring Rockport (next time we will bring our boat as there is great parking for it). Just down the road from great restaurants and you can actually see the ocean from the porch while having coffee in the morning. Will definitely be back.

The house is spotless clean. Great location, comfy beds. Washer dryer are a big plus. If you are planning on entertaining for dinner the kitchen is awesome but the dinning area is a little small

The house was beautiful , the decor was inviting and colors relaxing. The screened in porch allowed us to leave front door open to catch the sea breeze Kitchen has everything needed to cook or bake a meal. I would rate this better than a 5 star hotel.

Heron's Hideaway was a lovely, comfortable new home. Enjoyed proximity to ocean. Appointed with everything needed for a perfect stay. And nicely decorated with beautiful costal decor. Home was exceptionally clean and ready for rental. Working with Vacasa was easy & company was very accommodating by checking in advance on any needs. We had none; stay was perfect. Highly recommend Heron's Hideaway & working with Vacasa for stay in Rockport.

Last Minute Summer Vacation
The house is very nice. Good location. All the rooms are spacious and the house is well stocked. We loved the screened in front porch. House is not too far from the beach. Of course you have to drive, but it was still convenient enough that one of us could drive back to the house if we needed something. We have stayed at many Vrbo properties over the years and have always dealt directly with the Property Owner. This was our first time to deal with TurnKey. When our reservation was confirmed, I notified them that we would be arriving around midnight and asked if a porch light would be on. Laura from the TurnKey team contacted me and confirmed that she had turned on the light. What a blessing to arrive with the porch light on for us! Thanks, Laura! Let's talk about the 10-digit key code to open the front door. A ten-digit code is tricky thing and it took us several tries each time. In the past, at other Vrbo properties, the key code was the last four digits of my cell phone. The first morning I received a text from TurnKey asking me to rate the cleanliness of the house. I only gave them 3 stars. They immediately texted me back and asked me what was wrong. I listed the items that needed attention. They asked if a cleaning crew could access the property. I gave them permission. They came that very day and attended to the items and even tidied up our breakfast dishes. Thank you again, Laura for being so responsive. But....once we returned from our vacation, I received a text from TurnKey telling me that they needed to charge me $500 for bringing a pet to a not pet-friendly home because the cleaning crew found lots of pet hair at the home. I told them we did NOT bring a pet and in fact I could prove it with the kennel charges receipt for boarding our dog on those same dates. I reminded TurnKey that one of the things I listed as needing attention on that first morning was the floors, I found long black hair. And that the floors were not cleaned thoroughly at all because we were tracking up hair the rest of the weekend. Fortunately I was not charged the extra $500. Hopefully TurnKey will find a better cleaning crew. All in all it was a good visit and I do recommend Rockport and this house. I do miss dealing with the individual property owner. It just makes it more personal.
