Great Location

Comfortable, quiet, private and close to beach and shops and restaurants. Short drives to explore Gloucester, Ipswich and Salem. One hour nerve-racking drive to and from Logan Airport.

Great location and fun decor.

We loved the location and how close it was to the town! We walked there and it was close to the beach as well! We loved the eclectic decor and the size was just right for us- 6 adults and a dog. One side note is the walls were thin, so if you’re an early to sleep, or like to sleep in, keep that in mind - or take the master which is a little separated from the other rooms. I appreciate the check ins from Vacasa about how the stay was going and how the cleanliness was upon arrival. They also were helpful in getting someone to come over for a maintenance issue(sink clogged because of electrical issue with the garbage disposal) - although there wasn’t anything he could do.

Mixed review.

Loved this unique cottage with art history loaded with classic Latin painted tile work. Just short walk to beaches and downtown and park. Needs yard overgrowth cleanup and pesticide improvement.

Convenient location

Inside of house was clean and served our needs well. Location was great, close to a nice park and Bearskin Neck. Outside was not what I call lush, you can barely see the house from the road. New outside photos should be taken.

Rockport

The property was beautiful and included all that we needed. However, the previous guest filled the exterior garbage cans to the top and the garbage was not disposed of during our 5 day stay. We had to bring our trash out each day and dispose of it ourselves which was a nuisance.

Great location

I love this house and have stayed here before, gave it a 4 because the yard was full of leaves and you couldn’t see the walkways also a dining room chair was clearly broken but left in a main spot where someone would sit. I did contact the management team and they were quick to respond. Will definitely stay there again.

Pretty cottage

I have stayed here before. We do love it . Kitchen is great. Not the best rental for Summer months. There is no yard but we go in October. Please update the Ki g bed in the Master bedroom. It lays on like a board or something and needs a box spring. The yard needs serious updating. Very overgrown and in need of some maintenance. Be careful walking over the rocks , there’s no clear path. Only parking for 2 cats . Very hard to maneuver in. Overall the place is a great location to stay. Half a mile to the train and the beach. Don’t forget to go to Bearskin Neck!!

Comfort at its best

Better than a five star hotel, the cottage has spacious rooms, warm, lively decor throughout, beautiful bathrooms, a well-equiped kitchen and comfy sofas and chairs. The beaches and main street of Rocport are just a short walk away. We would rent this place again and again!

Great location, nice decor

Overall the location, cleanliness, and the tasteful finish of kitchen/bathrooms/living room was outstanding hence the 5. Had a few different way for cooling in different rooms (fans, mini split, ceiling fan), but house kept cool and without dampness during high 80's weather. The 2 full baths were great for us with 2 toddlers. Plenty of towels, tp, dish soap, shampoo, paper towels, etc.. all the stuff a lot of places forget to restock. Bedrooms where clean and comfy, but the king bed needs a box spring, it's just 2 mattresses stakes and the top one kept shifting off one side. Now the nits: Almost rates a 4 due to outside being meh, but we weren't there for the lawn and mostly at the beach or walking the town. Still, really needs a little cleanup of overgrowth, was annoying pushing stroller through encroaching weeds in the entrance path (I couldn't just use driveway as my vehicle left no room to squeeze by). The front door screen was torn out of frame which wasn't a big deal, using ac anyhow, but if I did want fresh air, bugs would be an issue. Lastly, the bottom stone step on entrance is not secure and if carrying something (like a toddler) can tilt forwad--this pretty big safety concern, Id recommend they address soon as conrete or masonry adhesive is cheaper than lawsuits.

Lovely place - great location!

We love this location. The house is comfortable and has so many charming features. Our only major complaint is that the outside garbage bin was not emptied from the prior renters and there was no place to put garbage outside. This also made the small area that was represented as usable outdoor space extremely unpleasant. I communicated this at least 4 times to the host. They kept responding thanking us for sharing that info but it was not taken care of. I am actually wondering if I was communicating with an actual person since the responses seemed quite automated. Other than that, the inside was clean and comfortable.

Eclectic hideaway

Property was great. Property management no so hot. Answered my questions by saying all I needed to do was read their email. The lack of info in there was why I had called. Basically it boiled down to lack of a folder with the owners expectations of us upon leaving and no local info of places to eat or visit. All other VRBO we have used had lots ideas. Also, no coffee, tea, creamer, filters for coffee pot or hand soap or kleenex in bathrooms. I presume this is a management issue. The counter tops were dirty. Had to clean area next to refrigerator and by the coffee pot. Don't plan to be able to park a truck of large SUV in the allotted spaces, they are tight.

Graduation trip

I'd 100% stay here again. Location was just what I was expecting. The house all all the amenities necessary. My only complaint and I wouldn't even call it a complaint, is the yard was a little overgrown to where you couldn't access the second parking spot. Over-all that in no way took away from my experience, we only had one vehicle so there was no need to have access to the other parking spot.
