What a gem of a property and Fran and Frank are amazingly kind people! It's just everything you need in exactly the right spot for a fun and affordable stay in Rockport! Excellent communication with the owners. We can't thank them enough for the insider tips and making sure our stay was truly special. It's such a lovely part of the Northeast and we would highly recommend staying here. Hoping to be back soon!
Maison chaleureuse, confortable, à proximité de plages et de commerces.
Nous avons tellement apprécié notre séjour que nous pensons y revenir l’an prochain
Holbrook House is the perfect place to unwind after spending a day in Rockport or exploring the various towns and beaches on Cape Ann. It is an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, shopping and the Shalin Liu Performance Center (make sure to check out the stunning view from inside the theater!). Hosts Fran and Frank are very responsive, answering every question I had quickly. When asked for ideas of what to do, Fran provided an extensive list, complete with links to each activity … and she followed up later to ask how we enjoyed any of these activities. The house is well equipped with bathroom toiletries, kitchen complete with all cooking and needed utensils, a wonderful couch on which to lounge and a comfy hair on which to recline. The house has central air (SO important on those hot summer days) and is on a blissfully quiet street. The backyard is well-taken care of and an oasis in the summer resort. We very much enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend it to anyone else.
Very comfortable two-bedroom house within walking distance to everything in downtown Rockport, including food, drinks, and Cumberland Farms. Perfect spot for a carefree time away. Very friendly and helpful owners to answer any needs or questions you have.
We’ve been renting vacation homes for the past five years, and this home in Rockport, Massachusetts has truly been the best experience we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared.The house had every convenience we could ask for—from mirrors in all the rooms to oversized towels and even beach towels. The kitchen was fully stocked and perfect for the breakfasts and dinners we cooked during our two-week stay. We especially appreciated the heavy-duty washer and dryer—something that’s surprisingly rare in vacation rentals and made a huge difference for us.The living room had reliable internet and the TV allowed us to connect to our own streaming services, which was a great touch. My daughters were thrilled by the collection of books and games, and we all enjoyed the beach chairs and umbrella that made our trips to the shore so easy.Fran and Frank were exceptional hosts—always kind, responsive, and generous with their suggestions for local events, restaurants, and must-see spots in the area. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality made our stay truly special.This home is a true gem on the New England coast, and we can’t recommend it enough. We’re already talking about when we can come back!
Great place for friends to spend time together! Either in the comfortable living room or the lovely back yard. The house is so convenient to the beach, shops and restaurants!
This was our second stay at this property which certainly indicates that we enjoy this rental very much. Fran and Frank are very accommodating and the place is clean, cozy, and well stocked. The location is great. Highly recommend this rental.
Loved staying here! When I arrived, I did think there were three rooms due to the pictures but then I rechecked the details and saw only two rooms. Still super nice. Fran was very nice and welcoming. She was easy to talk to and quick to respond! I would definitely stay here again! Thanks Fran!
Charming indoor and out, excellent location, very close to beach and Bearskin Neck's scenic harbor. Fran always available if you had any questions and she even gave suggestions for activities in the area. Very clean and accessible.
Amazing, quaint home! Quiet, beautiful outside patio! Close to everything! Made our bucket list trip all the better! Thank you! Would definitely book a stay here again.
This was a lovely house - clean, well- stocked with charming decor. Nice quite street but close to the beach, shopping and dining spots as well as the Commuter Rail station. Fran and Frank were great hosts. We had a couple of questions before we arrived which they answered quickly. And they were very helpful when we arrived. We loved our time at Holbrook House.
We had another great year at the Holbrook House! House was spotless when we arrived! Fran and Frank have great communication ahead of arrival. Our family of 4, loves the location-easy walk to beach, park, and Brothers Brew donuts in the morning. The outdoor shower and small grassy yard make this house so special-both hard to find in Rockport!
What a perfect place! Comfortable, clean, well equipped and an excellent location for walking anywhere in Rockport. The peaceful backyard patio was a lovely place to have breakfast each morning, the parking was greatly appreciated and the cottage feel was exactly what we’d hoped for. We loved staying here. Thank you so much, Fran & Frank!
This has been one of our favorite VRBO stays. The home was in a great location for downtown, Bearskin Neck, the beaches, and is very close to a beautiful park with pond, and playground, if you have young children. Fran and Frank were available and did communicate making us feel comfortable with their availability. The home was very clean and sweetly and comfortably decorated. We felt right at home!
Logement bien situé, à proximité de la plage, du centre-ville et de la gare. Maison confortable, bien équipée, au calme dans un quartier résidentiel
Hôtes disponibles, très attentionnés et serviables. Nous les remercions vivement pour l’aide apportée lorsque nous avons eu un souci avec notre voiture de location.
We are Massachusetts natives, who enjoy traveling abroad and all over New England, but are always called home to life on the seaside. After moving to Rockport several years ago we have enjoyed making a home for yourselves and family on the picturesque and peaceful Cape Ann.
