My family rented this house for my wedding weekend. The wedding was in my in-law's backyard nearby, but this was perfect for my family who were visiting from out of town.

We love Rockport and the beach and spending time there together! This home made it possible for us to do that again this year.

We had an incredible week in this tucked away gem in Rockport. The house was immaculate and every detail has been thought through for guests. Very few rental homes provide more than a roll or two of toilet paper. Gretchen has provided linens, beach towels, beach chairs, soap, tissues and all of the basics for cooking. The home is peaceful, spacious and fully appointed. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

The home was perfect for the ten of us (2 grandparents, 4 parents, and 4 grandchildren) to celebrate our 50th as a family. It is close to the beach and close to downtown. Gretchen was an outstanding host, we highly recommend this VRBO property.

What a lovely home! All five of my kids had their own bed, there was plenty of space to spread out, eat, and play family games. It was so nice not to have to pack all the beach towels, boogie boards, and beach stuff because it was already there! The walk to front beach was easy and the town of Rockport was so cute and the perfect place for a family stay full of adventure!

Beautiful house. Great location! We will definitely look to rent this property again! Walking distance to the beach which is great because parking is tough!

Wish we had access to garage, other than that great accomodations and location!

We had a wonderful stay at this Rockport home. Gretchen was great to work with and responded quickly to any questions I had. Check in and out was the easiest of any location I have ever stayed at!!! Loved the property and would happily recommend it!

My wife and I loved our stay with my extended family in Rockport at this property. Gretchen made the check-in process very simple and the property is charming and excellent located! I will say the stairs are very steep, but that’s normal for a New England property like this one. The only other thing to know is the third floor primary bedroom (which is beautiful and has an amazing en suite with a soaking tub and shower) technically does not have a door since the entrance is the stairs. Overall - highly recommend this place for small family gatherings or your getaway!

The house was perfect. It suited all our needs. Well stocked kitchen. Gretchen was very responsive to a few questions. Perfectly located for our outings.

We had a great stay at this property. We had a group of 8 that ranged from 2-60. A pleasant surprise was having baby gates and a stroller for the 2 year old. The “guide book” for this home that the owners put together, was one of the best laid out books I’ve ever seen! The house was equipped with everything that we needed to cook a few basic meals at the home. It was an ideal location for everything that we wanted to do. We went to Gloucester for a whale watch one day and took the train to Salem another. The train station is a convenient 5 minute walk from the house. We also walked to Bear Skin Neck which was about a 10 minute walk from the home. Just FYI while the property was lovely, there aren’t any bedrooms on the first floor and the stairs are slightly steep, but wasn’t an issue for us (we didn’t realize this until we reread the listing description again). Gretchen was great with communication and easily available. Would definitely rent this property again!

Property was as described except for the listing indicated there would be bikes on property but this was a prior amenity, since discontinued. Otherwise the property was as described and was clean and well maintained. Gretchen checked us in and gave us a quick tour and then left us to do our thing but also indicated that they were nearby if we needed anything.

Great location. You can Walk to town, shopping, restaurants & train. Granite quarry was a nice hiking spot. Host met us at check in. Stairs to go to bedrooms were steep. Nice home. Close to other towns too. We Would return!

The property is lovely, clean and well appointed. Everything you need is there. Master bath on the third floor is beautiful~~expect a few stairs! Close to all comforts and great dining options. The town of Rockport is something out of a storybook. Loved our stay!

Great vacation for the entire family. Communication was excellent and the house was wonderful. Our entire family of 8 were very comfortable. Gretchen was an excellent host and very responsive to any requests we had. House was well equipped, excellent facilities and outstanding air conditioning. The location is just blocks from the beach and a short walk to downtown Rockport. Our kids rated the vacation a 10/10. It was fun for all!

You know it's been a great trip when you rebook for the next year THE VERY DAY you leave to go home. My family (with two 3.5-year-old, very active kids) had an amazing time here. Gretchen made check-in so easy, showing us around, and was available and responsive whenever we had questions. The kitchen was fully stocked with whatever dishes we needed to cook; we had ample space and flexibility for my family and visiting guests; and having beach supplies on hand made everything a breeze. The location was perfect—an easy walk to the beach, into town, and even a playground on the way. 10/10, already booked again.

We had a wonderful time at this home. Gretchen has thought of every detail and the property was spotless. The kitchen and living areas were spacious and we had lots of room for different activities. There were games, books and puzzles and we made use of them. The yard has a hammock and two patio areas, wonderful trees and an small outside room to play ping pong. I also appreciated that there is parking for 3 cars and the location is great. Walking to Front Beach is easy and downtown is also very accessible. We would be happy to come back.

The house and property were clean and well appointed. The one problem were the stairs. There are three floors and the size of steps is small and in some cases your feet do not fit, thus you have to step sideways. One family member took a slide down them. They advertised 4 bicycles, but none were available. Also, after we left we received a text stating that two of the beach chairs were missing. Owner says she started with eight and only six were there after check-out. We only had six chairs on first day, enough for 6 adults, but not children. It felt as though she was accusing us of stealing her chairs. No one from our party of 6 adults and 3 children took the chairs. We used them for the beach only and returned afterward. Overall, it was a lovely house, close to town & beach, but the false accusation of taking 2 chairs left a bad taste.

My family and I loved the location of this home. It is in a quiet location and a short walk to the beautiful downtown Rockport area and Bearskin Neck. The home was clean and very well maintained and we really enjoyed the patio area with the hammock. Gretchen was pleasant and friendly and very responsive. I would recommend staying at this property and I would definitely stay here again.

This was the most amazing property to spend a few days at! The host was phenomenal. We also appreciated the amenities available. There is so much to do within a short walk, the outside area was very comfortable, and overall we had such an enjoyable experience. Thank you for having us!

AMAZING

Our stay was perfect for our nephew's wedding. We had two families stay and everything was clean and well organized.

This house was spotless, well appointed and super comfortable. Gretchen made checking in easy and she had fast responses on communication. The stairs are narrow and steep so if you have mobility issues that may be a problem. But this house was up to date while maintaining New England charm. We would definitely stay there again.

The house is spacious and clean. The owner was great to communicate with. So much fun and enjoyed our stay immensely. Michele Touhey

This property was great for a long weekend with two families and friends. Beautiful property and an awesome experience.

Beautiful home with a tranquil setting in a convenient location! Very clean with lots of extras provided. We would like to return and highly recommend this property!

We loved our stay!

A+ experience all around - it’s hard to think of what to list first. We were 2 families with 4 kids and had more than enough room to sleep, cook, eat and hang out. While the big things were amazing - excellent kitchen, master suite and outdoor spaces - I was even more impressed with the thoughtfulness of the small stuff. Hooks for towels everywhere, easy to operate blinds, extra everything - detergent, paper towels, kitchen stuff - not a detail was overlooked. Finally, a very accommodating and helpful owner. What a wonderful week we had!

Very nice house. Great location,

Our family of 4, my sister's family of 5, and our mom really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. It was very convenient to beaches and town. We also enjoyed how close we were to Boston and enjoyed a day there as well. My husband and brother-in-law even made it to a Red Sox game. The house was well stocked with essentials and the owner was very responsive.

We had a lovely stay at this unique home near the adorable town of Rockport. The house in in walking distance of a beach, playgrounds, restaurants, and ice cream stores. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Covid wedding for son in nearby Ipswich. The house was the perfect oasis between events. Delightful. Would definitely use again.
