Fall Break / Salem Trip

My husband, brother & sister in law had planned a trip to Salem/New England for the week of Halloween however my in laws had to cancel last minute. My husband and I went on the trip alone and this place was perfect for just us! We didn’t need the extra bedroom of course but everything was absolutely perfect for just my husband and I. Private parking, off the street, easily accessible for anyone who may have handicap issues, there is 3 steps with in the apartment to get to the restroom which was no problem for us. Everything was neat and clean. Anything and everything you needed was provided, even sunblock. No complaints other than the beds were very firm but some people prefer that. We also had to google how to use the heating/cooling units because we personally were not familiar with that particular type. No real issue we couldn’t figure out. We were a 30 minute drive from Salem. Walking distance from all the little shops in Rockport. 10 minute drive from Gloucester. 1 hour drive from Boston. This area was so beautiful in October that we ended up only spending 1 day in Salem and spent a lot of the week in other areas. I would recommend this place to anyone I know going to the area to visit. We had a wonderful time. It was quiet, peaceful and adorable!

Beautiful stay!

Beautiful place! We stayed here for a wedding in Gloucester and we were pleasantly surprised by how nice Rockport really was. Walking distance from the shoreline, shops, and restaurants. Quintessential New England town with great charm. We would definitely stay here again!
