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.

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.

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.

Great location, beautiful views
This property was perfect for those looking for quiet views of the water and access to a fishing pier. The check in process was so easy and the property is very clean. The home is an older home so the kitchen layout was a little different and cozy. As long as you don’t plan to cook big meals, you will have all the space you will need. The bathroom is very small and we found we had to leave the door open to use the sink comfortably. The bed was comfortable and there were TVs in the main room and bedroom. The wifi did not work while we were there but management was willing to come and fix it quickly.

Do not stay here - overpriced and uncomfortable
This property is not as advertised. There is absolutely no WIFI. One of the beds has a huge lump in it. The other beds are saggy and the linens are pilled and old-looking. The bathroom is tiny. The kitchen does not have anything but dishes and rusty/dirty pots and pans. The chairs outside for sitting on the uncovered porch are dirty and broken. The whole place is outdated, not clean, and uncomfortable. The windows have plastic and cardboard in them and windows are very dirty. And did we mention there's no wifi? We rented this place because we had to work while away and the wifi network did not even show up as an option. We would never stay here again or recommend it to friends.

Joy cottage
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Joy cottage is in a great location, right next to the bay, and quiet during the weekend. It’s at the end of an one way bayside road and little traffic. However, inside the fabrics are shabby and the beds are lumpy. The location though can’t be beat. There is a deck in front where it is great for drinking coffee in the early morning. There is construction next door, but they aren’t obnoxious. Some of the lamps need new lightbulbs, but there is adequate ceiling lights. I would recommend this rental if it could be updated with new mattresses and fabric coverings.

Joy's Beach Cottage Review
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Coming to Rockport for over 50 years still remains a joy. Bringing our two grandchildren every year for the past 17 years has been even better. This little house was fun because it is one of the last original Water street fishing camp houses. All was as explained in the rental agreement except for pier damage(no tee head and no lights). Also apparently the management told two couples renting other property on the street that the pier in front of Joy's was used by several rentals. Very nice couple but with four of them on the short pier morning, afternoon and evening it would have been crowded for four more people and fishing in the evening was impossible. The house needs a thorough, move the furniture, cleaning. Beds were uncomfortable, new mattresses needed. We were disappointed in back yard care which is where we had our coffee out of the sun. Chairs were dirty and table chairs scattered and yard chairs were at the table. We felt we were paying what you asked and all should have been perfect. Overall the little place needs some attention and updating.
