Fantastic location for walking into town. We enjoyed a great evening of music at the Shalin Liu, and spent an afternoon popping in and out of shops. Fun weekend!
This property is wonderfully located within walking distance of anything you could want to do in Rockport. Also an easy drive or train ride to neighboring towns and Boston. Great family home in a very quiet area. Would love to stay again

Glad you enjoyed your stay and the proximity to Rockport’s many offerings! We’d love to have you return in the future!
The host was phenomenally communicative and accommodating. There was plenty of parking and the house was very clean and comfy. Downtown was a super short walk away and there were a slew of wonderful shops and delicious restaurants.
I felt like I was at grandmas house. Big kitchen that welcomed cooking and conversation. Beds for everyone and plenty of room. Beautiful gardens outside that welcome many critters. I saw a skunk, a coyote, rabbits and chipmunks! Easy drive to everything. We forgot a bag and the host generously mailed it back. Wonderful stay! Thank you!
We had a great experience staying here! Communication with the host was top notch - they really went above and beyond to provide good information and friendly service! This was a great space for our family and was very accommodating to children. The location was excellent, within walking distance to the beach and bearskin neck. We loved our time here and wish we could have stayed longer!
This property is located close to downtown which has shops, galleries, beaches, & restaurants. The kitchen and family room are comfortable & well provisioned. Having three bedrooms was also convenient with teenagers! Plenty of parking too!
This is a spacious home with lots of room for 4 adults. We loved the kitchen and cooked lots of good meals, enjoyed relaxing in the backyard and most importantly enjoyed the easy walk to the town and to the beach.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at our house! Definitely a great place to relax and spread out, indoors and outdoors.
This was my second time visiting Rockport, first time I stayed on the neck. The house location was perfect and walkable to everything. My parents, daughters and I all fit comfortably. I'd definitely stay here again. Thank you!!

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and found the living space comfortable and close to everything. Hope you can return!
It was the hot and muggy week that hit all the heatwave records. Our host brought us additional brand new fans which she purchased so we had extra airflow. That was amazing. There's also AC. This location is lovely and quiet, very close to downtown Rockport. I was psyched that we had parking and could walk everywhere we wanted. Great lobster downtown. Such a relaxing five days. Thank you.
Just want to thank the owners - its a beautiful home. For 6 adults- it was very roomy. The house had everything you could think of that you may need. We thought the 1 bathroom was going to be an issue, but it wasn't.
Great neighborhood. It was a nice walk to get to "town". We walked off our dinner for sure walking back home. Gloucester is maybe 10 minutes away. Salem, maybe 30 minutes.
The only 'issue' was the fishy smell when we walked in the house. It was still there Saturday morning. So we febreezed everything cause we weren't sure where it was coming from. Its possible previous "renters" cooked fish or lobster and it just lingered?
Other than that our trip was s blast. We had no reason to contact the owners, so we didn't.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review - we’re very glad you enjoyed your stay! I think the large size of the one bathroom makes it work out better than might be anticipated. Thanks for the heads up about the lingering cooking smell - I’m sorry you experienced that! I reached right out to our cleaning crew now so they can address it right away.
The house is a bit dated, but so comfortable and the location is perfect. It was a short walk to breakfast, lunch, dinner and shopping. Rockport was located in easy driving distance to other places we wished to visit.
My family and I had a fantastic stay Priscilla's home, everything exceeded our expectations. The home itself is very clean and cozy, comfortable and spacious for the 4 adults we had for this trip. The location is incredible - just a short walk to beautiful downtown Rockport and the beach. We loved walking to get coffee in the mornings and having easy access to all the things that make Rockport such a great destination. Priscilla was welcoming, accommodating and quick to reply. I highly recommend this house and look forward to the opportunity to stay again! This will be our first choice if we are lucky enough to return to Rockport. Thank you!
The rooms look very clean and are spacious than they appear in the pictures. Two out of the three bedrooms and the living room have ACs which are helpful during hot summer days. Check-in process is easy. The owner is very thoughtful to provide a handbook with local restaurant recommendations and many local maps and activity pamphlets. We used grill to make dinner. The location of the house is convenient, just 5 min walk to Main street and Front Beach. There are many art galleries, restaurants and ice cream shops on Main street. The view in Rockport is picturesque, and there are many activities available in Cape Ann area. We had a very pleasant stay in this house and area.
This was by far the easiest VRBO rental I have had. Everything was exactly as advertised. Came to attend a wedding. The day we drove up from NJ was the hottest day of the year to date. Homes generally do not have air conditioning. When we arrived, we found that owner had opened windows to cool the home. Stayed two nights and it was exactly what we were hoping for. Owner was very fast responding to any messages through VRBO. Can't say enough about how nice this experience was.
