Wonderful stay as always with Betsy and Bruce. The home is a perfect location and always clean. Our 4th year staying at the property and we will be back again!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Rockport. The house was spotless, well maintained, and updated throughout â both inside and out. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, the spacious decks, and the peaceful water views. Bruce and Betsy were fantastic hosts and incredibly responsive to anything we needed. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, the Headlands, and downtown Rockport. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
The home was a perfect and beautiful getaway with our adult children for Thanksgiving week. Stunning ocean views from nearly every room plus a well appointed kitchen made this the ideal location for enjoying drinks in front of the fire, views from third floor balconies and family meals in the dining room. Home is located just a few minutes walk to downtown Rockport for visiting shops, art galleries and dining.
The property is exactly as advertised. The host family was quick to answer any and all questions throughout our stay. The home was very comfortable - furniture, linens all top notch. Many extras we did not expect. By far our best VRBO experience.
We love this home, super clean and well cared for. Perfect location for Rockport where you can walk to the beach or town easily. Even on rainy days you still have a wonderful view. Betsy and Bruce are wonderful hosts and always very responsive with any questions. Our entire family loves returning year after year.
Lovely and comfortable home with everything one needs for a peaceful Rockport stay. Walked to everything, beach, Bearskin Neck and the parade. Owners were gracious and responsive.
This house was beautiful in every aspect! The location was perfect so we could walk into town to enjoy the holiday festivities. The living room provided plenty of space for the whole family to relax and enjoy each other while also enjoying the wonderful views! The kitchen was a dream and provided everything needed to cook a meal. Would definitely recommend this for your next vacation in Rockport!
This was our second stay in this home; it is truly beautiful and well-located - a quick, scenic walk into the town of Rockport, or to Bearskin Neck.. The home owners are very hands-on, warmly welcoming us to their home and checking in to see if we needed anything during our stay. The home is perfect for my family of adults with a bright first floor laid out very nicely, ideal for gathering together whether around the kitchen, in the family room or around a lovely, large farm table. The bedrooms are all very comfortable with attached baths and thereâs a bonus third floor with expansive views and an extra bed for over flow. The home is very well stocked with everything you need for cooking/dining with a large group. We cannot wait to return to this property.
We attended a wedding in Rockport and absolutely loved this house! Owners were helpful and always quick to answer any questions. House is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and filled with thick fluffy towels and quality linens. Well stocked kitchen and two bikes made our stay even more comfortable. The Old Garden area is stunningly beautiful, with walking paths throughout the area and a nice beach (rocky more than sandy, but very pretty) less than a 3 minute walk from the house. Walking into town was also very easy and convenient. Totally recommend:)
Our family really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. It was most comfortable for our family of 6 adults and the open floor plan allowed us to have family join us for dinner one evening. The home is beautiful, very clean and well-appointed; its many windows allowed us to enjoy beautiful views from every room. The location was perfect, close to the shops on and around Bearskin Neck and just a short drive to the grocery store. The owners were most helpful when we had questions and never made us feel like we were imposing upon their time. We wouldnât hesitate to rent this home again. 5 stars all around.
This was our second time at the property. Really appreciate how easy it is to stay at the rental and how clean it always is. Perfect location to town (Bearskin Neck) and the beach. We had a mix of weather this trip and it was still wonderful as you have a variety of activities nearby and can enjoy the view from inside if raining. Thank you!
Gorgeous Rockport home located right on the oceanfront walking paths, we enjoyed the ocean views and smells being so close to the water. The neighborhood and community was so very friendly, offering us friendly greetings and suggestions for hikes and places to eat. The home is meticulously designed with such thoughtfully chosen local art, open layout, heated floors, and beautiful kitchen and bathrooms. A quick, scenic walk into town brings shopping, art galleries, and restaurants. The location was perfect! Thanks again Betsy and Bruce for sharing your home with us - You have thought of everything and this is one of the best vacation homes weâve ever stayed in!
The house was airy and bright with plenty of space to spread out. It was decorated so cute for fall and had lots of little details that made it even better. I will say some of the pictures online were somewhat misleading. The upper deck/rooftop fireplace area is not as pictured, and the rattan outdoor furniture was not available either so that was a little disappointing, but overall we had a great stay. The town is within walking distance (if the weather is nice) and has great shopping and restaurants. But be warned almost everything closes at like 6:00pm so plan ahead.
*One word to the wise- when owner says âno smokingâ, she means for the ENTIRE lot, including outdoors (which isnât typical). We had 2 girls smoke outdoors a few times and always made sure there were no windows open nearby but apparently it was a huge deal and the owner was very upset. We felt terrible and apologized for the misunderstanding- we just werenât aware the policy was that strict.
Home is even better than the photos. Perfect location to Bearskin Neck and the beach. Very clean and organized. Really appreciated necessities for young kids like a crib and toy closet, and even baby proofing if needed. Also really loved having nice basics like Bounty paper towels, full soap dispensers and TP, even salt and pepper and olive oil. Usually it feels like an immediate grocery run is needed when we rent for basics- not the case here. Betsy and Bruce were also wonderful hosts who walked us through all the details and amenities on the property. They were easy to communicate with throughout our stay and quickly answered any questions we had. Highly recommend this property and hosts!
My husband and I , our two kids (ages 4 & 6), and my parents rented this house for a week. The house was really wonderful, clean, modern, and had everything we needed. We really appreciated that the owners didnât have any personal items around to make us feel like we were staying in someone elseâs house. My kids LOVED the toy closet, the layout was great for all of us, and the views of the ocean are amazing. The house is a very short walk from town, but the neighborhood is also very quiet and peaceful. We visited several local beaches and went hiking a few times. We will definitely be back!
The house was great! The location is close to town and the house is as described. It was clean and the hosts were responsive and helpful. Highly recommend and would stay again.
This roomy comfortable house was a perfect place to gather with children and grandchildren: Located within walking distance of the village and near good walking paths; spacious rooms; and careful attention to every amenity a family could need.
Everything about this house was simply the best. It was perfect for group gatherings and the views from different parts of the home were simply breathtaking. The owners were very responsive and helpful in getting us situated with what we needed and questions we had. The town is quaint and was an added bonus to this super relaxing and inviting home.

This exquisite cottage style home offers top of the line amenities- a designer kitchen, baby grand player piano, hot tub, gas outdoor fireplaces and nooks and crannies for every member of the family to curl up in.
