The property owner, Mark, went out of his way to make my husband's birthday a great getaway. The house was perfect just for the both of us. The pool was relaxing. The location is great. We will definitely be back. Thanks Mark.

Don’t think twice!
This well-appointed cottage was perfection for our family of four. Communication between us and the owners exceeded any expectations we had and truly every need was met. Absolutely worth mentioning is the remarkably cold A/C, an absolute must for our July stay. The location is is wonderful, an easy drive to the beach, shopping, dining, everything. We’ll plan to add this gem to our short list of favorite places to stay in Rockport. Exceptional in every way.

A True Rare Find
This gem of a vacation rental is a rare find, especially at such a lovely, fair price point. On a recent trip that was a bit of a family reunion, we were looking for a little oasis to call our own at the beginning and end of very busy days. As soon as we saw this charming garden home with a lush green yard and a private pool, we knew we'd found our little slice of Rockport paradise. Our daughter called this place her "cottage" during our stay, and it quickly became our favorite vacation rental of all time.  You know that moment when you pull up to the place you've worked hard to book after much searching, and you're hoping for that in-person "Wow--I'm finally on vacation" feeling?! Nothing beat pulling up to this garden home after a long day of travel, and first opening the gate to find a yard in full bloom, a sparkling pool, and a beautifully designed interior that's even more delightful in person.  The best part was the welcome email we received from Mark right after booking this rental. He and Denise were such lovely hosts, giving us plenty of space while letting us know they were only minutes away (and also available by text) if we needed anything.  If you're looking for a rental where you will have a space of your own--with a private yard and a plunge pool--in a lovely Rockport neighborhood rather than a crowded vacation rental community, you've just struck gold. Thank you, Mark and Denise! We look forward to future stays!!

Tranquil escape
This little place is a hidden gem. It has everything you need to just stay in, but is centrally located to everything around Rockport/Fulton as well. The interior is wonderfully updated and the back yard is just perfect with the plunge pool and so secluded.

Perfect weekend in Rockport
The house, yard, and pool were perfect for our getaway for July 4th! The house is fully updated, clean, and had beautiful furniture and finishes. The yard was in full bloom and so peaceful and lovely, and the pool was a perfect place to relax and float. The house is SO close to everything...dining, pier, beach. The hosts were AMAZING and very attentive...they truly went above and beyond to make our 4th of July experience EXTRA special! Thank you Mark and Denise for a wonderful stay! We look forward to coming back!

We are Rockport locals who rented this perfect house for a staycation during our wedding weekend. The hosts were so gracious and kind. They went above and beyond with every detail.

Garden House Delight!
We recently spent 3 nights in this adorable home. We easily rate this home 5 stars on every category. Clean, comfy, furniture and decor placed for total relaxation. The bed is amazing. Kitchen is stocked with all you need. The pool is clean and cool and loved hanging out. The yard is the cherry on top...beautiful! The best part is Mark and Denise Eshelman providing the best service and truly caring if you are enjoying their home!
