This condo was lovely. It’s located in the heart of Rockport, easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and beach. It had the balance of being beautifully renovated but in a historic home. The owner was very responsive to questions before and during our stay.
Just returned from a wonderful getaway. This rental is in a great location. It’s a quick walk to shopping and dining. It had plenty of room and was very clean! I would stay here again if I ever found myself in Rockport! Owner was very responsive with any questions!
Loved the historical home, recently remodeled and updated keeping all the charm of the original home with updates to make our stay comfortable, safe and pleasant.
The location is absolutely perfect, just a few blocks to shops, restaurants, Front Beach and all the town’s attractions.
There is EV charging across the street in the Town Hall parking lot - so convenient for anyone traveling with an electric car.
Everything about this property is perfect. We were a family of four with two teenaged girls and the size and layout was perfect for us. It would also work for two couples. The house is spotless. Location is perfect. Walk to town area, beach, amazing restaurants, arts center, etc. Off street parking is a huge plus. Rockport is a gem and this property is amazing! Don’t hesitate to book!!

Driveway was a sheet of ice. Made it almost impossible to walk on without fear of falling.
