Great location walkable to shops and restaurants downtown as well as some beaches. Some challenging stairs or ceiling heights for larger/taller adults, however the uniqueness and charm outweigh the tight spots. My kids thought they were exploring Hogwarts and they loved it.

Everyone loved the house it was clean and a short walk to town. Parking was great.

We had a wonderful stay at Partridge House! The house was charming with plenty of space for our family to spread out. The location was excellent-both walk to town (shops/restaurants) and Front Beach.
5.0
We were a multi generational family staying together and participating in a wider family gathering. The ability to be in a home rather than a hotel made our time together more congenial. The house worked well for our situation. It felt as though we had really moved into the spirit of being in this lovely town.

Wonderful stay at this charming home. Originally booked for our family of 4 and wound up having grandparents and cousins join. Loved the stocked-for-cooking kitchen, well curated library, and airy family room w/ table for eating together. Excellent second floor shower. Cozy touches all over. Chemical-free bath and washing products. Washer + dryer. Ample fans and A/C. Beach gear. Tons of games. A short walk to Brothers, Front Beach, Bearskin Neck, etc. Quiet backyard with a grill. Bird song every morning. Folks with mobility challenges may find it hard to have no first floor bathroom. People over 5'7 will find the upper level tricky w/o 24-7 hunching or bumping (though the big bed is very cozy). You can tell this is a well-loved home. We hope to visit again!

Well situated- walking distance from the ocean. This home suited our needs perfectly. Plenty of room for 6 adults with lots of stuff to do. The owners were responsive to our questions, Other than a snafu getting into the home, everything else went well.

This is truly a very special house. It is more spacious than it looks and is full of wonderful nooks and crannies to explore. My grandchildren and my cocker spaniel loved it. I would happily spend summers there if I could. Morning walks to town and the beach were amazing. The back room was our favourite with the natural light. It had everything we needed and would highly recommend it. There are some narrow stairways but even those with issues managed fine, using the wider stairs at the front of the house.

This is the first time we stayed at this property and were very pleased with the accommodations. The host was one of the best we've had in terms of responsiveness.

Enjoyed our stay with family. Old house with lots of charm. Updated kitchen, bathroom and family room. Close walk to town. Third floor bathroom not for the vertically challenged. We would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was just wonderful. It was a Home that we could imagine Fisherman or lobster man and their family living. The property was advertised as just steps from beaches and shops and it was true we walked downTown to the shops and to the beaches. The streets and the beaches were clean and well manicured. The shops were wonderful all in all we had a great time and look forward to returning.
3.0
The house served our general needs while we were there with 3 dogs! However, we found it difficult to relax as the house seemed overcrowded with A LOT of heavily upholstered furniture of MANY different patterns and way too many knick-knacks. There were all sorts of odd leftovers from previous renters... i.e.. nail polish, half-used bars of soap, etc.

We stayed in partridge house with our 9 year old twins and 60 year old parents and there was plenty of space for the 6 of us. The location was perfect and we walked into town multiple times per day, either to the beach or for shopping or for dinner and ice cream. The owners were super easy and nicely provided some good coffee (plus some condiments and spices and teas to get us started). The backyard was even nicer than photos as there was a table for 4 on the porch (we squeezed kids in no prob) and some relaxing chairs in the yard. Would definitely stay again!

Great place to stay! We enjoy how easy it is to walk to Bearskin Neck and front beach. Well supplied with everything we needed (bath,kitchen, etc.). Kids enjoy the 3 levels to this house as it gives them their own space.

This is a quintessential and well-kept New England property, with all the narrow hallways, odd staircases, built-in bookcases, window a/c, and funny angles that you would expect if you're familiar with the area. We love this kind of charm, it's precisely what we visit for - your mileage may vary. Only note, and the owner is honest about this in the description: if you are over 5'10'' tall, maybe swap the top floor master suite with its very low ceilings (but spacious layout and comfy lounge area) for one of the smaller bedrooms on the 2nd floor - save your head a bump or two.
At the same time, the rest of the house feels open and airy and spacious - big kitchen with plenty of amenities, easy parking, plenty of rooms to spread out in, even for our party of 3 adults and 4 kids, and a beautiful backyard and patio, full of flowers and birds.
Owner Andy visited briefly to fix a leaky shower head and wobbly table that the previous tenants reported. He was respectful in planning a time, quick with repairs, and told good stories while he was there - all hallmarks of a great VRBO owner.
And location - chef's kiss! 1 block to a pizza/grinder joint owned by cheerful Brazillians that served the perfect post-beach-day take-home foods...3 blocks to Brother's Brew for the best coffee on donuts on Bearskin...5 blocks to Bearskin shopping and restaurants...8 blocks to Front Beach. Everything was extremely walkable and that made this property even more enjoyable.

This was a great house for a large group; we were nine with 4 kids. There was plenty of room to spread out and lots of space to cook and prepare meals. It was lovely to be within walking distance to everything in Rockport. The home itself was charming and had a cottage-y, well-loved feel.

Loved our brief stay in this charming house. Imaginatively decorated with antique and vintage pieces but also equipped with everything adults and kids could want to relax and enjoy Cape Ann and the delightful town of Rockport. Spacious, well equipped kitchen. Our Corgi mix had to be carried up and down the steep, winding, uncarpeted stairs. Otherwise, perfect.

The location is wonderful-so close to Bearskin Neck.
The owners quickly replied to any questions and checked in with a message during the stay.

Magical Holiday
This is a beautiful New England home with a history that can be felt the minute you walk in, and yet it has many modern comforts… So much to experience inside the house but the location is also perfect for walks around the town or for short rides to hiking and shopping. I could not have found a more magical place for our special Christmas Holiday. Loved everything about this place and also appreciated Andy’s responsiveness before and during our stay. Thank You!

Excellent location
Myself and 7 friends stayed at this house and we had a wonderful time. We were able to bike to town and the beach quickly and Andy answered all of our questions promptly. We were thrilled with the house and the bedrooms. I would definitely visit again!

Amazing location for Rockport experience
Walking distance to Bearskin neck and beaches, short drive to all Cape Ann has to offer (Halibut Point, Dogtown, etc.). The house is fun and funky and comfortable. We had a great stay!

Charming and spacious home
It was a good stay overall plenty of room for our five adults and four children! It was very very hot, 90+ degrees every day which made the house also very hot even with air conditioning. The location of the house was unbeatable. Less than a five minute walk to bearskin neck. Very quiet street, plenty of room, plenty of charm in the house itself. We were very pleased!
