This was our first VRBO Family vacation and won’t be our last! From beginning to end the host surpassed our expectations! The home was perfect in every way; clean, roomy, well equipped, The yard was amazing with everything you could imagine for young & old! The location is ideal for beaches, restaurants and downtown shops. The communication with owner was quick and easy. This property is beyond a 10 and one we highly recommend and hope to visit again.

Best stay ever! Husband grew up in Gloucester with grandparents in Rockport. We have been returning yearly with (now grown) children to visit with family who are still in the area, and with other sibling who also return for a large family gathering. This year’s visit aligned with Gloucester’s St. Peter’s Fiests and Rockport’s July 4 festivities. Bonus! 40 Atlantic easily housed 6 adults (it will accommodate 8) and has plenary of gathering spaces with a large dining room to seat 10, an airy front porch, a spacious deck with a gas grill and a table for 8, and another large table in the shady area of the yard. The kitchen is huge and is well stocked with needed equipment -6 burner/ 2 oven Wolf stove, small appliances, cooking tools and dishes and flatware for at least 12. This kitchen has the sharpest knives I have ever used! We hosted the extended family several times and ended our evenings around the firepit. We played cornhole and tossed frisbees. Great memories were made! The large backyard is full of colorful flowers and shrubs and is very well kept. The living room is well stocked with games and puzzles for all ages. It is clear the house has been thoughtfully renovated - the bathrooms were spa-like, everyone slept well on the high quality mattresses and under upscale linens. This rental feels like cozy home! We enjoyed our walks to Brothers, Bearskin Neck, the Headlands and the beach. Michael was very responsive, communicative, and a pleasure to work with!

The house was perfect for our family. Very well stocked with everything we needed for our time at the house. The house was very clean and it was really close to the shops and restaurants in town. We walked into town everyday even though we had a car. The fire pit was a great extension of the house, and Michael had it very well supplied, so it was easy to start the fire. Michael was very easy to get a hold of and responsive to any of our needs. I would highly recommend the house.

We enjoyed our stay at this home. We were a group of three families planning to spend a week together in Rockport. The house accommodated our group nicely; each family had a space. The house was well equipped for a vacation. We especially enjoyed the quick 2 block walk to the beach and the easy walk to the town. The young people in our group enjoyed the firepit in the back yard. Every one enjoyed the outdoor shower and the front deck where groups gathered to chat. The house was well stocked with dishes, plates, glasses etc. for feeding a large group. We appreciated not having to shop for paper goods and cleaning supplies. If we plan to gather next summer we will definitely be back.
