You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Walk to Town & Train, Rockport Beaches & Shops – 3BR, AC, Parking

Just an hour from Boston, this classic New England cottage puts you in the heart of Rockport.

Stroll to Front and Back Beaches, grab an ice cream on Bearskin Neck, or walk to the Rockport commuter rail station and take it straight to the heart of Salem for easy access to all the Halloween fun—no traffic or parking stress. You can even stay on the train and head into Boston—totally hassle-free!

Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliances, central A/C, and blazing-fast Wi-Fi (500 Mbps). The layout includes one queen bedroom downstairs, plus a queen and full bed upstairs. We’ve got everything covered: towels, linens, and a washer/dryer — all ready for your stay.

You're also just a short drive to Halibut Point or Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester. Whether you're tide pooling, gallery hopping, or just relaxing with your pup (we’re pet-friendly!), this is the ideal North Shore escape.

PLEASE NOTE:
1. The stairs to the second floor are steep and may not be suitable for guests with mobility concerns.
2. The home is located on a small town main road, and some vehicle noise may be heard indoors.
3. The upstairs bedrooms connect through open doorways—there are no doors, but the rooms are offset, so there’s no direct line of sight and both feel private. Great for families or close friends.
4. The twin bedroom also contains the washer and dryer. It’s a private first-floor room with a door—great for a child, teen, or solo guest.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

This house was perfect for our family of four and our dog. It was well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen and was a great central location to spend time with family and friends in Rockport. Front Beach, and Bearskin Neck are in close walking distance. We enjoyed dinner the Lobster Pool and Talise, saw a movie at the Cape Ann Community Cinema and walked to the Dairy Train for ice cream many times. Lots of fun!

Amazing stay in Rockport

First let me say that Erin's attention to detail and communication are the best I have ever encountered using VRBO. Perfect instructions before we checked in, a lovely gift, and a digital board with so much useful information and history of the house.Rockport is amazing and beautiful. The house is perfectly situated close to downtown, beaches, parks, the train station. The house is plenty spacious and updated. Plenty of games, books, TVs. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils and cookware. The backyard is beautiful and private. I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed the house. Definitely take Erin's recommendations, we dined at so many great restaurants she recommended. We love Rockport brewery be sure to check it out. Saltys bagels are so tasty. We did a whale watching cruise, got to see two humpback whales, truly an experience. Halibut Point state Park is beautiful. The Crane Mansion did not disappoint. We traveled by train to Salem and Boston, it was great and super easy to travel on the train. The weekend pass is a great deal.This was such a great vacation for my family and look forward to returning. Cannot recommend enough.

Great place to stay in Rockport

The house it's just beautiful. It's in a great location, easy to drive anywhere you want to go. The home has AC, and there were fans also.The kitchen had everything one would need. The beds were very comfortable. There were plenty of towels,pillows and blankets. The stairs to the up stairs bedrooms are steep as in home description. They weren't really a problem for us, but definitely something to note. Communication with the host was great. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend.

Quick getaway

My husband and I wanted to go Whale Watching so we booked Erin’s house. The house was Perfect….warm, welcoming and so comfortable. Erin gave great ideas for where to go, what to do. Unfortunately a storm prohibited us from whale watching but we loved touring around Rockport, Gloucester and Salem. Definitely a great weekend

Another great stay at this house!

We stayed at this house for a week in summer 2021 and I was eager to rebook it for our trip to Rockport this year! We stayed 10 nights and loved every minute of it—just like last time! I travel with my kids (12&14) and it is such a perfect location. We walk into town multiple times a day (the Mill Pond and cemetery path is our favorite!). The beds are very comfortable and the house offers all the amenities you could need. I can’t tell you how amazing it is to put on a few of the provided backpack beach chairs, pack a cooler, and walk 5 minutes to the beach—avoiding the hassle and costs of traffic and beach parking! The kids are already planning our next stay at this property! Erin is a friendly and quick communicator as well.

Lovely Rockport!

The home is absolutely lovely! Very spacious for 5 adults. The updated kitchen has anything you would possibly need for “stay in” meals. The gas grill has all the utensils too. Bedrooms are spacious in size. The bathroom is gorgeous with a nice walk in shower! The outdoor back patio is perfect for an afternoon read or cocktails outside. We loved the walk ability to Rockport beaches, village and Bearskins Neck. Check in very easy too!

Wonderful place!

This property is as advertised...clean, private, safe. Short walk to the beach and the shops of downtown Rockport, train station is a 2 minute walk. There were three adults in our party but room for two couples and two singles - more space than we needed. Every item and supply you might want for a day at the beach or cooking a meal was provided. Would recommend and stay again!

The Perfect Oasis

The location of this house was perfect for the slower paced vacation we were hoping for traveling with a toddler. We were able to easily walk down to Front beach, Bearskin Neck, and many excellent restaurants and shops. It was also a short drive away from having awesome day trips to Ipswich, Gloucester, and even Salem. For those who love to visit in larger towns and cities, but prefer to unwind and relax outside of them, this location was absolutely perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better place, location, or host. We look forward to staying again!
