We loved the quaintness of Rockport, MA. Your house is perfect for a stay at the little seaside town. We thoroughly enjoyed the charming feel of your place and being so close to the water was perfect. We loved all the shops, ice cream, and the coffee shop. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay all week in Rockport! We enjoyed the easy walks to the beach and the kids liked walking on the rocks everyday. We made several trips to Gloucester to go whale watching and did most of our dining between the 2 towns. We had easy access to the restaurants and shops so we walked most of the time. The sunrises were the best! We had great communication with our host and we enjoyed the Cupcake/Ice cream shop below us. They were very kind and had amazing desserts. We had everything we needed in the well stocked kitchen. The living from space was small and not that comfortable for a family of 4 to relax but honestly we didn’t spend a lot of time there anyway. We would happily return for another trip!

You understand when you book a property like this above a business that there will be some issues however I was put off by the constant music from the ice cream store below. Anytime they were open I could hear the beat and barely hear the melody so I found myself trying to figure out what song was playing. It was annoying in the evening. The gentleman who works the nice cream shop was very friendly, but I didn’t addrsss this with him as I figured surely I wasn’t the only one and apparently he didn’t care. Sloping floors and the outlet in bathroom didn’t work and had a small wire sticking out from the reset. Otherwise, charming and fun spot.

We three adults had a lovely time! Rockport was sleepy in the off season but we could walk to dinner and coffee. We each had a room with a door so we could have some privacy and space. Its such a sweet spot perfect for a mini get away with friends

The space it's self was just ok, but I probably wouldn't stay again. Being an upstairs apartment the bathroom is super small( I'm 6 foot and hot my head Everytime I stood up from the toilet. Multiple light switches were missing knobs making it difficult to turn the lights on and off. The queen bed was hard as a rock and the bedroom door didn't latch closed so it would swing in the breeze and hit making noise all night long, I just propped it open but if I had other people staying with me it would want to be to close the door tight. Getting in was easy, not having parking was a slight pain in the neck but manageable.

Quirky place , a little rough around the edges, but clean and well equipped. Parking is the main drawback but offset by the location in the middle of all the shops. Noisy in the am due to all the shops.

Loved the character and location of this apartment in charming seaside artsy/touristy Rockport. Once we got used to knock of ice cream scoop (afternoon hours in store below) we had a very comfortable, enjoyable stay. Beth (remote owner) and John (ice cream store) were both really nice, responsive and accommodating.

This house is right in the heart of it and super nice and cozy. Everything is there and exactly as described and depicted in the add. We loved our stay and would come back anytime. It is equipped with everything ones need. A big plus is the reserved parking space right by the house, that was awesome. Communication with owner was fast and easy. Wonderful little place!!

Great little apartment in the heart of Rockport. Super clean. I loved all the shops and Roy Moores was minutes away. I thought I wouldn't mind having to park my car away from me. It was more of a 10 minute walk a little further away than I would have liked. That is the only downside for myself, but definitely wouldn't give less ratings because of parking.

This was the perfect place to stay in Bearskin Neck. It was in the heart of this fishing village, and not to mention the ship below sells the best cupcakes and by far the creamiest ice cream ever! These hosts are the nicest people! It was a perfect space for our family of 4. The locals are so nice they can tell you all of the great hidden places to visit. Don’t hesitate to book this place if you plan to visit Rockport, Gloucester, or Salem. You will not regret it!

We had a great visit. If you’re not up for parking and walking back, this property is not for you. We really enjoyed the location and our ability to pop out to grab ice cream, a cup of chowder etc. There are great views of the water from most of the rooms and we appreciated that there was A/C units and fans available on a surprisingly humid September weekend. WiFi didn’t seem to want to work but it didn’t matter since we weren’t in the unit much during our stay.

People are amazing in Gloucester and bearskin neck. We had 3 women and had a fantastic time. Coming from Utah we arrived a day early but found a hotel in Danvers for the he night. Would not recommend a group over 4. Small living space to just hang out. We enjoyed our stay there. Was not cleaned.

Old, stained, falling apart, and broken furniture. We were told in the key email to make sure the shower curtain is closed cause it LEAKS water into the cupcake shop below. Air conditioner LEAKS water onto floor gets rug wet to which I stepped in and had to change my socks. Cupcake shop owner is rude. You will share your entry and exit door with the cupcake owner. Long story short my elderly mother was yelled at by him. My mom is the sweetest and it was highly uncalled for. Cupcake shop has loud blaring music on until 9:30 pm. You also hear their loud food processor and knocking noises. You will be told to wash towels, linens, and bath mat before you leave. This basically henders your travel plans for heading out early like we needed to do. No rental should hender your travel plans like that. The owner even has a housekeeper come in and clean. The living room only has a fan in it so it gets really hot in there. We mostly stayed in the bedrooms for cool air. We also had to go buy ice as there are no ice trays in the freezer. Parking is a nigtmare as the 5 mins away feels exactly like 5 mins away. You will drive through the sea of people walking, they don't like to move out of the way. The owner is nice and responsive but that does not make up for all that is lacking. Basically, we paid $1600.00 for rude neighbor interactions, leaking items, and broken stained furniture. Not to mention these things are not represented in the listing. Some furniture in the listing photos is not even in the rental. I find it highly convenient to disclose LEAK issues days before arrival within the key email when we cannot back out of the agreement as no refund would be issued. It's not an ethical listing as it's not how it was conveyed prior to purchase. We tried to find a hotel and just eat the cost, but everything was booked. I have been using VRBO since 2014 and this was the most disappointing rental I ever stayed at. Save yourself the headaches and find another place to stay. Imagine driving for 19 hours and spend that kind of money to be presented with undisclosed information of your vacation investment.

We had a wonderful time here. The location can't be beat. We walked everywhere and enjoyed the local shops and restaurants. The place has all the basics. It's a typical older building and has it's quirks but we love that and it's part of the charm. We love Rockport and will definitely be back!

Great rental property! Beth was super communicative and the place was just as described. In a busy section of town, so parking was a little tricky. Lots of noise during the day from happy tourists on the street - great people watching if you happen to stay in. Absolutely perfect location. Right in the heart of town, near the water, lots to do and see. Definitely recommend staying here! Can fit five people comfortably, maybe more if someone is fine sleeping on the couch. Full kitchen, washer dryer, and a bath, with tons of delicious restaurants in walking distance.

Very cozy space. Would definitely stay here again. The property owner was able to accommodate a late check out. For those people who are over 6 feet tall, the ceilings are short so you may need to be careful moving around the space.

Rating would be a 3.5, but not an option. The property is small and if you are over 6'2" the bathroom might be a challenge. Parking is definitely at a premium so if you travel with more than 1 vehicle find the free street parking. Linens were comfy on the beds but glad we brought our own towels. Lots of extra pillows but no extra pillow cases. Beth was very responsive with questions. Bring your own tissues. Instructions said to wash/dry/fold towels prior to 10 AM checkout but no information as to where the washer/dryer were.

My wife and baby stayed at this location for three nights. Beth was super responsive and check in was a breeze. The location of this vrbo was amazing. Right in the middle of the shops and above a cupcake shop. John at the cupcake shop was very kind and recommended a few places to visit nearby. Their deep fried Oreos with ice cream was a favorite dessert. Would stay here again. This is an old house, but the location is the best part.

Location is Amazing/Stunning!

Location is Amazing/Stunning!

The property was exactly as described and in a beautiful location. The property owner was responsive and quick with questions. The owner of the ice cream/cupcake shop downstairs was kind and helpful upon check-in and throughout our stay. We only had 2 hurdles in our stay (which has nothing to do with the owner). One is that I was unaware how low the ceilings are (ESPECIALLY IN THE BATHROOM SPECIFICALLY THE SHOWER), my husband is 6'2" and had to basically sit on his knees in the shower to wash his hair, I am 5'2" and it was a small space but workable. The second hurdle was the parking. There is no on site parking, there is a "drop off area" (think like parking on a sidewalk) to unload or pickup and then move your car, most neighbors were kind and understanding while we had to load/unload a 2 year old and 3 year old plus all of our things. Free parking is about an 8 minute walk (15 mins if you try to do it with curious, young children). We were in town for a wedding and did a lot outside of the property requiring the use of a vehicle otherwise it wouldn't be a big deal as there is SO much to do and see within a 2 minute walk from the front door. Overall, I would love to stay here again (my husband probably wouldn't agree due to the shower size) if my kids were a little bit older and we didn't need to use the vehicle as much.
