This house was perfect for our family of four and our dog. It was well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen and was a great central location to spend time with family and friends in Rockport. Front Beach, and Bearskin Neck are in close walking distance. We enjoyed dinner the Lobster Pool and Talise, saw a movie at the Cape Ann Community Cinema and walked to the Dairy Train for ice cream many times. Lots of fun!

Great property!

We stayed here for a couple of weeks while our house renovation was being completed nearby. The property is wonderful, clean, spacious, and well equipped. Being locals, I can say it is in a very central area, with easy access to downtown Rockport, the train to Boston, and the beach. Erin the owner was wonderful to work with. We would recommend this property to anyone wishing to enjoy the beauty of Cape Ann!

Wonderful place!

This property is as advertised...clean, private, safe. Short walk to the beach and the shops of downtown Rockport, train station is a 2 minute walk. There were three adults in our party but room for two couples and two singles - more space than we needed. Every item and supply you might want for a day at the beach or cooking a meal was provided. Would recommend and stay again!

Cute and quaint house with a pretty backyard. So close to town and the train, as well as the beach. The kitchen was really well equipped and you can easily cook a big meal, plus there is a grill in the backyard. The host was fantastic about communicating with me when I left something behind. Highly recommend this comfy home.

Quick getaway

My husband and I wanted to go Whale Watching so we booked Erin’s house. The house was Perfect….warm, welcoming and so comfortable. Erin gave great ideas for where to go, what to do. Unfortunately a storm prohibited us from whale watching but we loved touring around Rockport, Gloucester and Salem. Definitely a great weekend

The Perfect Oasis

The location of this house was perfect for the slower paced vacation we were hoping for traveling with a toddler. We were able to easily walk down to Front beach, Bearskin Neck, and many excellent restaurants and shops. It was also a short drive away from having awesome day trips to Ipswich, Gloucester, and even Salem. For those who love to visit in larger towns and cities, but prefer to unwind and relax outside of them, this location was absolutely perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better place, location, or host. We look forward to staying again!

Great place to stay in Rockport

The house it's just beautiful. It's in a great location, easy to drive anywhere you want to go. The home has AC, and there were fans also.The kitchen had everything one would need. The beds were very comfortable. There were plenty of towels,pillows and blankets. The stairs to the up stairs bedrooms are steep as in home description. They weren't really a problem for us, but definitely something to note. Communication with the host was great. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend.

Lovely Rockport!

The home is absolutely lovely! Very spacious for 5 adults. The updated kitchen has anything you would possibly need for “stay in” meals. The gas grill has all the utensils too. Bedrooms are spacious in size. The bathroom is gorgeous with a nice walk in shower! The outdoor back patio is perfect for an afternoon read or cocktails outside. We loved the walk ability to Rockport beaches, village and Bearskins Neck. Check in very easy too!

We had a wonderful week

The house was clean, well equipped and convenient to nearby attractions in Rockport and Gloucester. Front Beach is a beautiful spot and less than half-a-mile away. The backyard is larger than it looks in the pictures and very private. There are plenty of beach chairs and towels. The spacious kitchen is well equipped and includes ample seating for dining at the table and breakfast bar. The washer and dryer are quiet and efficient. My wife, dog and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Another great stay at this house!

We stayed at this house for a week in summer 2021 and I was eager to rebook it for our trip to Rockport this year! We stayed 10 nights and loved every minute of it—just like last time! I travel with my kids (12&14) and it is such a perfect location. We walk into town multiple times a day (the Mill Pond and cemetery path is our favorite!). The beds are very comfortable and the house offers all the amenities you could need. I can’t tell you how amazing it is to put on a few of the provided backpack beach chairs, pack a cooler, and walk 5 minutes to the beach—avoiding the hassle and costs of traffic and beach parking! The kids are already planning our next stay at this property! Erin is a friendly and quick communicator as well.

Amazing stay in Rockport

First let me say that Erin's attention to detail and communication are the best I have ever encountered using VRBO. Perfect instructions before we checked in, a lovely gift, and a digital board with so much useful information and history of the house.Rockport is amazing and beautiful. The house is perfectly situated close to downtown, beaches, parks, the train station. The house is plenty spacious and updated. Plenty of games, books, TVs. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils and cookware. The backyard is beautiful and private. I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed the house. Definitely take Erin's recommendations, we dined at so many great restaurants she recommended. We love Rockport brewery be sure to check it out. Saltys bagels are so tasty. We did a whale watching cruise, got to see two humpback whales, truly an experience. Halibut Point state Park is beautiful. The Crane Mansion did not disappoint. We traveled by train to Salem and Boston, it was great and super easy to travel on the train. The weekend pass is a great deal.This was such a great vacation for my family and look forward to returning. Cannot recommend enough.
