As annoying as it was to hear every word they would holler, it was also entertaining. The room, itself, was clean and beds were comfortable. Loved sitting out on the balcony in the rocking chairs and enjoying the great view of the bay(it was much quieter out there too). If we ever decide to come back to Rockport, we will probably stay here again and just hope that our neighbors in the next room know hotel etiquette.

When I checked in Friday night, Jason in reception was very nice and accommodating. I explained to…read morehim about my service dogs for my several disabilities and he acknowledged that. The room has been great and we loved it. I have the dogs in a stroller and attached to leashes so I can use the stroller for balance and support as well as access to the dogs for help. Saturday morning, around 7:15, the reception lady (which I found out the next day was the manager, Ginger) won't let me enter the breakfast area. She want me to leave the dogs outside in the hallway next to the bathroom. Which is making me have anxiety to be away from them. She told me to take turns with my husband to have the dogs there while we get food then go back to hallway to eat. I'm trying not to have an anxiety attack in being separated from my dogs in public. I was already in pain and was relying on the stroller to help with my balance. I wasn't going to take the dogs out of the stroller. I explained to her the dogs were trained and what they help me with in my disabilities and that I would not take them out of the stroller, which had service dogs signs all over it. In the food area, I had to keep leaning on my 9 year old son for balance because I was having trouble walking. But at one point, my body couldn't take it. I was in a lot of pain and it led to a cycle of pain and anxiety. I ended up with an anxiety attack and got frozen and was in so much pain because the stress caused my body to flare up badly. My husband told me while I was sitting down sobbing in pain, Ginger the manager went to him to apologize for the incident. It would have meant something if she directly came to me to apologize. Which is another incident of me feeling less than and treated less of a human being for being disabled. I should not have been denied access with my service dogs that were contained in a stroller that I also needed for balance.

DO NOT RENT FROM MISS KITTY!!!! after spending 4 nights…read moreover Fourth of July weekend, I feel like people deserve to know what they're walking into. They have trash cans by the stair case that smells terrible with roaches and flies and we have to pass it every time we go into our room. We booked this condo expecting a relaxing beach vacation. Instead, it felt like every day came with a new surprise--and not the good kind. Let's start with the condition of the unit. The walls were literally falling apart, and the bathroom had water leaking through the shower wall from the unit above us. When we reported it, we were told they couldn't do anything because the unit upstairs wasn't managed by them. While I understand that may be true, it doesn't change the fact that we paid for a room with water leaking into the bathroom. The bathroom light also had a mind of its own. Every time you flipped the switch, it took a couple of minutes to turn on, like it was still asleep and needed its morning coffee before deciding to work. The TV wasn't much better. The remote wouldn't change the channels, so if we wanted to watch something, we had to get up every single time and manually change the channel on the cable box. After putting up with all of these issues, we were finally told we could move to another unit--but only on the last night of our 4-night stay. Even then, the replacement unit wasn't ready until around 5:00 p.m., so we spent most of the day waiting. Then we had to pack up every single one of our belongings and move everything ourselves... just to sleep there for one night before checking out the next morning. To make things even worse, the replacement unit didn't even have the pull-out couch that our original unit had. It was just a regular couch, even though we booked a unit that was supposed to accommodate six people. We also spent most of our vacation using only one bathroom, despite paying for a two-bathroom unit. After all of that, no refund, no partial refund, no discount, and no real compensation was offered. Rooms: 1/5 | Service: 1/5

Definitely false advertisement from Vrbo and staff. They were very quick to charge my card (Red Flag) I was upset I could not enjoy the beautiful view. Room number is at the end of this review. Chairs are full of rust (nothing like the pictures from Vrbo and staff at Laguna Reef) patio table was very dirty and rusty. The frame from sliding door was also rusty and kind of hard to pull, very dirty. The furniture from the living room are in poor poor condition. Coffee table was wobbly..it felt like it was going to fall apart. The Tv is mounted crooked (necks were hurting) the small table on the wall is also slanted not straight. Drinks were uneven..had to be very careful to not spill anything. The couch is filthy underneath, full of dust and dirt, rug is also dirty. Not good for anyone with allergies. Linen smelled like they have been dirty for a while. I had to buy a blanket and meds for allergies. Not very friendly from staff or locals. My husband and I took a walk on the pier (no rails) very dangerous for little ones. A person from the office walked all the way down to the pier to make sure we were guests. He asked if we were guests and for our room number. Hopefully it wasn't because of our skin color. I definitely will NOT go back. It's too bad, because the bay view is beautiful, but I despise false advertisement. I will not use VRBO or Laguna Reef ever AGAIN. Room#208

The Reel 'em Inn has that rare combination of feeling approachable and relaxed while still being…read moreincredibly thoughtful and beautifully designed. It feels more like staying at a boutique luxury hotel than a typical coastal rental. Every detail has clearly been considered. The design is fresh, clean, and perfectly captures that elevated coastal vibe without trying too hard. The outdoor kitchen was such a great touch and made hanging out outside feel effortless. The robes were amazing (always a detail I appreciate), and having an espresso machine in the room made mornings feel extra special. It's comfortable, stylish, and just feels easy in the best way. If you want a place that gives you a true vacation feel while still being warm and unpretentious, this is it. We'll absolutely be back.

Jordan at the front desk was super nice and helpful, the bed was comfortable, the rate per night of $170.00 was okay, the ground were clean, the pool looked clean, BUT... the rooms all have a blue tint that was so obnoxious and really messed with my eyes. It was truly awful! Even when the sun went down, it was still bothersome. The photos I took with my phone have absolutely no filter on them. It was Smurf blue!!! I wanted to ask for another room until I realized ALL windows had the same tint. I looked around the room after exposure to the blue and it made everything look pink. Way weird! I know it wasn't just us because we spoke with a lady in the elevator who made the same comments. I would never stay there again strictly for the blue and how it affected my eyes. I don't know who decided on that, but it was a terrible idea. We did not check out the inhouse bar since we brought drinks with us. We also did not have the breakfast. I am not a fan of hotel breakfast since it rarely lives up to expectations.
