Super spot for a Rockport weekend

The apartment was perfect for a weekend away. Close to restaurants, super walks, great for us and our dog. As in other reviews, the ceilings are low, but this is an old house and part of the character.

A hobbit's home

Adorable little apartment underneath a home. I believe a sweet little hobbit must have once lived here. The ceilings are low, my daughter and I are tall people so we had to duck in the doorways but not a big deal. Decorated so nicely, it's tiny but perfectly big enough to not have the hassle of tending to a large space. Location was great, across the street from shops and about a 7 min walk to the beach. Parking is one block away and we did not have any trouble finding a free spot. Know the entrance is on the west side of the home. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

We liked that it was close to downtown and clean. We did not like the sounds coming from above or that there was no parking included. Additionally, the additional cost seemed to appear later as I do not recall that the total cost was included in the advertisement.

Expensive camping

Here are the notes I left for the Vacasa review: You were absolutely horrible to deal with!!! In the first 2 days of reporting problems, I received 10 - yes, ten - emails that you were sorry I was experiencing the issue and you would get right on it, was there anything else I needed. I did eventually receive one phone call, and by that time, we had figured out one of the pressing issues. Day three, checkout, and no one ever came to take care of the issues, despite the repeated "We will get right on it, is there anything else you need?" There was no notebook with info, only tiny, handwritten notes taped to potential problem areas. In the dark, can't see the one about the bathroom light switch/plugs not working, which was across the room from the switch. Bad wiring when the overhead light is controlled by a GFI on the other side of the room! Going to the bathroom at night with a flashlight - expensive camping! Overflowed toilet that had nothing extra put in beyond human waste, and no mopping provided - potentially nasty if we were not resourceful about taking mats from other parts of the house. No towels replaced afterwards. Had to search for bedding for the sofa bed. It was actually pretty comfortable, but one of the blankets (minky-like one) was quite smelly. Not enough blankets for chilly nights. Lack of helpful instructions (again, the comprehensive notebook that was not there) for using the A/C. No checkout instructions at all. There was a LOT more, out of room here....

This was our first time renting a vacation home and it was extremely easy. The home was accurately represented online and we had no issues at all with finding or using anything in the home. This house has a wonderful location right downtown, which was great.

Very quick stay in Boston

We enjoyed ourselves, as we stayed in Rockport during the rainiest day night. And there was no problem with the apartment. I did find the humidifier noise a bit annoying and my husband had to empty it quite a few times in the day. The property was very clean. I did wish I saw the sheets for the sofa bed or if there was written instructions as my son slept on the sofa bed on the first night With no sheets. On the main front door one of the small windows can be pushed opened as my son tested this as he’s a tall person and reach his hand in and unlock the door. For extra security I would have preferred to be able to lock the 2nd door.

Old House Rockport

Great property - perfect location...walking distance to everywhere! Small but adequate space - perfect for a couple. Pet friendly, which was a real bonus. The only negative aspect is that it felt very damp in the home. We were there on both rainy and sunny days and it was always just a little uncomfortable inside with the moisture. A small portable dehumidifier would be perfect for the place. Otherwise, it was a wonderful place and I'd highly recommend it!

Perfect location to enjoy everything that Rockport has to offer. The place is decent size for a couple. Ceiling height is roughly 6'2 so if you are a taller individual you may want to consider that before staying here.

Convenient Location

Great location, first floor/walk out basement in the center of Rockport near all the shops and minutes from beaches! Kitchen was very clean and well stocked. There were signs of mold of the bed skirt and in the shower that I think should be easy fixes. Random hairs and fur present in sheets, dog treats or kibble present on arrival on a mat along with wet dog smell. We love dogs, but it was like someone else's dog had just hung out there. 2 minisplit air units made for a very comfortable sleep temperature wise! Overall pleasant stay.

Excellent Location

We loved walking to our favorite breakfast location! We would definitely consider staying here again. You need to be an early riser and 5’8” or shorter to thoroughly enjoy your stay. You will be awakened to the sound of the upstairs tenant’s feet and have to dodge door frames and low ceilings in some areas. To us, it didn’t matter much as we wanted to get up and out to visit our favorite quaint, seaside town. We love Rockport!

Perfect location for Rockport

Was perfectly located. Low ceilings for me and my gargantuan 18 yr old. A bit small to spend the day hanging out inside, but we spent our time enjoying beautiful Rockport and the surrounding towns, so it was perfect for our needs.
