What a wonderful stay! And what a gem of a property!
Staying in Rockport at this lovely home was the perfect combination for our vacation. The host was super responsive, flexible and helpful. The home was as advertised and is located close to many dining and shopping options (not to mention a short walk to a local beach). We will return to this spot in the future for sure. Thanks for everything!
