This is a lovely place to stay when visiting Rockport. It is easily accessed, has great parking, and is near (many of them are just walking distance away) the local shops and restaurants. The unit was spotless, the kitchen has all you need to make a meal, and the accommodations are very comfortable. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place to relax and enjoy your stay in the area.

We had a wonderful week's stay in The Bookstore. It was a lovely unit, conveniently located to the main street of Rockport and so clean and tidy. There is a spacious parking lot easily accessible for several cars. The unit is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is outfitted with anything you might need to cook meals, but you might be too tempted by the local restaurants to make too many meals. The beds are wonderfully comfortable and the unit was very quiet. We slept better at The Bookstore than we do at home! Hope to return soon.
