"This property was a good value. We were in town for a high school graduation so we weren't at the unit very often. The sofa in our unit was old and uncomfortable, and the bathroom was very small. The stairs walking up to the units and our particular unit are very steep. The property manager was very easy to get ahold of and helpful. Overall it is a good value."

The Rockport House

The Rockport House

10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing stay at the Rockport House. My wife and I had a beautiful, clean king room on the third floor, with a very comfortable bed with plenty of pillows, and an immaculate bathroom. The house was a quick walk to all the fun of Bearskin Neck and the incredibly cute hub of Rockport. Such a great autumnal New England stay! Check-in was so very easy, with seamless communication between us and the owners. I highly recommend! It felt like an old school bed and breakfast. Thank you Rockport House for an excellent visit to the beautiful Massachusetts coast!"
