terrific get away

We had a great time on our recent visit. The fenced in yard was even better than expected, which worked really well for us as we were traveling with our dog. The house is very comfortable and close to the beach, and the overseer was really responsive to any concerns we had during our stay. We plan to return

Excellent getaway!

This is a great place to stay if you want a quiet getaway. Love the walking access to the beach, and the neighborhood is nice with little traffic. The house is the perfect size for bringing some family or friends, and the amenities in the house are great for anything from cooking/grilling at the house to watching a movie in the evening. There’s also an outdoor shower area and a fenced yard for pets or small kids. We will definitely visit again!

Great place to stay

This place was amazing! Loved the view and access to the beach. Very nice and relaxing place to stay. The house was lovely and very clean. Sitting outside on the deck was my favorite part about the house! Listening to the ocean feeling the breeze and watching all the birds. Very nice fenced in yard for my fur babies to enjoy although the smell Yorkie was able to escape through the gate lol she couldn’t get enough of going to the beach and for walks and the community. I will be recommending this place to others and I will be back. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

The Rock House

The house itself was great, very nice furnishings and clean. The yard was great for the fur babies and the deck was good. However there was no laundry soap, no dishwasher soap, no water in fridge, no drinks, no coffee pods as this was all in the information that was sent me. Had issues connecting to internet and trouble getting the code correct. Will I book this property again, no I will not stay here again.

Weekend Retirement Event

Had a retirement party in Freeport on Saturday and decided to rent a beach house for the weekend. The house was central to the location. It was perfect for the weekend. Loved the fenced in yard for our dog to go outside. The property was clean and the lay out was great. Quite cul-de-sac away from the Beach but within walking distance. Only wished the place had a drip coffee maker and all would gave been perfect.
