For me it was the best of all worlds - close to the charm of the main action of Rockport, but far enough away to enjoy the quiet and everyday coming and going of the town. There's a harbor view from the top of the outside stairs with a small table for morning coffee in the good weather. The apartment was spotless and just as described.

I did a midweek stay for a couple of days, arriving on a Sunday afternoon.This apartment is directly in the heart of the downtown area. Mere steps away from many restaurants and shops. The restaurant immediately next-door to the apartment was fantastic. The harbor view from the little porch was a lovely place to sit and read and people watch. Front beach was about a 10 minute walk. Not a very large beach, but very accessible.Inside was very clean and charming. Good for one or two people. People with challenges navigating an exterior staircase might find it a little challenging. I don’t think the description explicitly mentions the stairs, although you could probably figure it out just looking at the pictures from the little porch area.The only anxiety I felt was parking when I first arrived on a Sunday. There is no assigned parking spot for this rental. Gigi was very good about giving me options. When I first arrived, I went to one of the side streets that she recommended and found a free spot that was a short walk away. After that first night, I was able to move my car early in the morning to the wharf parking right next to apartment during daytime hours and then the meter parking at night when it was free and crowds had cleared out.I love the calm vibe of this coastal town. Perfect for a relaxing stay.

Gigi's wharfside apartment was the perfect little home base for exploring Rockport and the North Shore. The location was in the heart of the downtown but still quiet at night, communication was thorough and responsive, and the property was expertly managed. The space is simple and no frills but immaculately kept and has all the basics you could need for a wonderful stay.

Mini Honeymoon Stay

My husband and I stayed here while on our mini honeymoon. Rockport is such a cute town and the location of this property puts you right in the middle of everything! We tried a couple of restaurants in town that were amazing, went to the cutest local shops and went whale watching in Gloucester which is only 10 minutes away. We loved having the little balcony to drink our coffee in the mornings and the kitchen was great to prepare small meals so we didn’t have to eat out every meal. Gigi also provided so much great information on places to visit nearby! Such a great trip!
