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.

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!!

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.

Great for a few days in Cape Ann

The house was a good size for our family of 5 plus dog. (We chose the place because we could bring our dog.) The location was convenient. The house was clean and comfortable and with fun decor. We were able to make a few meals in the kitchen. We had no complaints.

Some concerns…

Checkin was super easy. The house location was fine. The decor was really cute. The house had a really funky smell. The bathroom grout had mold in the shower and the sink. The toilet seat was loose and really unusable because of it. The smell was bad and stuck to our clothes. Unfortunately the animals also got into the trash and their wasn’t a good place for us to throw ours away. Maybe the people before us cooked something foul.

Nice relaxing place

Great quiet place. Walk to Bearskin is easy if individual doesn't have mobile requirements. A park is located about a block away right down the road...great for kids to run and get their energy out. We took our dog there daily. The house is super nice. The showers were great..laundry accomodations are a nice feature. We had a wonderful 4-day stay. 2-car parking as advertised...jus back in...super easy.

Adorable artistic cottage

We absolutely loved this cottage! It does not have the greatest curb appeal , but once you go inside you won’t want to leave! The kitchen . Amazing. We loved the decor, copper sink, fully stocked and refrigerator had an ice/ water machine. One drawer was cracked ( not by us ) . We even found a cast iron pan! My favorite. Living room adorable decor, pretty lamps ! Very comfy I loved all the tvs in the house and dining room table was perfect. Washer dryer right off the dining area. Bedrooms perfect ! I love how the master is down the hallway with its own private bathroom! The bathrooms are the coolest tiles! Even the toilets match ! It was fantastic. King size bed and all linens were clean and super fresh smelling! I didn’t want to get out of bed! I have to say the doors were weird . Front door leads into a bedroom so we used the door off the side driveway. There’s no yard , just a table and chairs on the driveway with the grill so if that’s important to you, but we were inside the whole time. We took a walk to an awesome park with a pond .the house is on a dead end but there’s a little street across that leads to Forest Ave. 0.2 miles to town!! You must eat at Two Little Birds eatery by the beach! So delicious and cute. Overall we LOVED IT. Only negatives are please put locks on basement doors . There are two entrances into the basement and a trap door that lifts up into the kitchen with no lock. We had me and three females teenagers, so safety to me is very important. Rockport is beautiful and safe but locks would make me feel better.. sorry I’m from NY and there’s crazy people everywhere. Only other thing is the fees are substantial with this rental. There was garbage not cleaned up on the side of the house and the cleaning crew left the dishwasher full so we had to empty it on arrival. Kind of annoying after paying hundreds in a cleaning fee! But we LOVED THE COTTAGE.

It was well located to the T which coupled with Ubers that was our transportation. Every place we visited was close. Rockport, Marblehead and Boston all close by thanks to the trains. Our host Michael is very pleasant and interesting. I hope to have a beer with him sometime. We will be back I am sure of that.

Cute, unique home. So beautifully decorated with antiques, gorgeous tile work, artwork and Tiffany lamps. Great location and very comfortable home. The house is cheerful and full of light from the many skylights. You couldn’t ask for a better location. Enjoyed morning walks to the beach. We’d love to see the same attention to detail from the inside paid to the beautiful plants outside.

A Gem in the Rough

The rental home is lovely, truly a snapshot of another time. The antiques and colorful tiles are very nice, and you feel you are transported to a flat in Paris! Plenty of supplies, kitchenware, and entertainment options. Our only observation that kept this from being a 5 Star was the landscaping. Beautiful plantings were overgrown, trash was scattered along the side and back, and it was generally an untidy effect, not the gorgeous garden it could have been. A clean up day for the outside of the property is sorely needed. Otherwise, the Home was a home run.

Shabby chic

The house is located on a small lot, in a safe area. The pictures are accurate in terms of how colorful the house is. The furniture is split between good and shabby condition. The master bedroom had a wooden board sticking out from underneath (I guess to prop up the bed) on which my husband hurt his foot. But I could overlook this if the property would have been clean. The refrigerator door had dry food on it, the place was not dusted, the coasters had dry food, the dining room table had crumbs and animal hair on it. The manager did check on us, and was willing to send us a cleaning crew but I don't understand why it was after we came. There were similar reviews in the past. There was good communication with managers and the check in was easy.
