This charming,extremely well appointed property provided a home away from home experience in the very heart of Rockport. The view was beautiful. Because the apartment is directly above a very busy coffee shop in an old building with very little noise insulation, there is no sleeping after 6AM when the staff arrives to open the shop.

Happy you appreciated our “charming well appointed home away from home” and the beautiful views. Folks often enjoy an early morning coffee on the deck as The Old Harbor is quiet as the sunrises and the world wakes up. Thanks for your 5 star review Diane.

Perfect spot in Rockport - we loved our stay! The host was friendly and responsive, and the location couldn’t be better. It's in walking distance to shops and restaurants, and right above a great coffee shop. The place was perfect for two, with a beautiful harbor view and the sound of waves as the tide came in. We’d definitely stay again!

Great view and location

We came to Rockport for a long weekend. The place was very comfortable with an amazing view of the harbor and a perfect location. Note that it is over a cafe as mentioned in other reviews (early 6am wake-up) which didn’t bother us much. We enjoyed the close access to the cafe for breakfast and snacks.

I have stayed all over Cape Ann and especially Rockport for many years. This was the best. The kitchen is fully kitted out. (And yes, there was even a box grater!) The windows that overlook the harbor and the tiny porch that does as well were perfect for lounging on the sofa, perusing the interesting range of books and magazines or dining outside (which we did each of the four nights we stayed). It's lovely that the Bean and Leaf--long a favorite spot of mine--is just downstairs with good coffee and yummy nibbles. Since it's on Bearskin Neck, parking is a challenge (but you can unload right at the foot of the outdoor staircase and then park), but that was to be expected and it's never disappointing to walk a little bit around Rockport. It's a lovely spot to stay (and The Ice Cream Shop is just next door)!

Great get away to Rockport

We had a great few days and were able to explore many walks right from the property and the beach was just a third of a mile away. The town was just getting going for the summer and more restaurants open by the weekend. This was a great introduction to Rockport and we had a fun sail on a schooner down in Gloucester as well
