Beauty and comfort in the heart of Rockport

We loved our stay at Gretchen's house in Rockport. Every need was accounted for, and we immediately felt at home. Walkable to small beaches and Rockport Center, and just a 10-minute drive from one of the best beaches in the northeast at Good Harbor. Can't wait to book here again!

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.

Perfect house and location

We had an incredible week at this property! Our family spends the week of the fourth every year on the north shore. Staying in rockport was a perfect location for us. We enjoyed walking to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The house itself was clean and comfortable, and had every amenity we could need. Each room was beautifully decorated and we all slept soundly. I would highly recommend this spot!!

This was the second time we rented the cottage from Gretchen and Gary. The house is very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The owners are fantastic, very friendly and responsive. Gary responded within minutes when I contacted them about watching the Red Sox game. Everything about this cottage is perfect from location to Front Beach, Bearskin Neck and train station. .

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.

Great family house!

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!

Great, charming property just steps from Rockport!

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!

Fabulous Rockport Getaway

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!
