Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Rockport

Gretchen’s house is a charming, two-story one on a very nice and quiet little street. The furnishings are pretty and tasteful, and there is comfortable living room furniture, as well an excellent beds and pillows. Our favorite thing was its location, within very easy walking distance from a gorgeous park and beach. Downtown was also reachable via a short walk. We did some of our own cooking and found everything we needed. Gretchen was an especially nice and responsive hostess. If we were lucky enough to get to Rockport again, I would want to stay there.

I can’t thank you enough for letting me stay in this beautiful location. I’ve been going through chemo treatment and trying to find beautiful places in between treatment to enjoy. This place was a fav. Which I sort of want to keep to myself. I didn’t have a lot of energy to do a lot but it was exactly what I needed. Parked my car and left it behind. Watched the tide, walked around a beautiful place with my dog. I couldn’t ask for more.

The house and location were amazing, as was the host. Hoping to stay there again next summer.

Very comfortable place for my family to spend a long weekend! Excellent space, very clean and private and well furnished. We enjoyed making and sharing meals, relaxing in the common areas, and walking to the beach and into town. Would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful place just a one minute ride to the Rockport Golf Club where my daughter was getting married. We had plenty of room for all six of us. A nice big kitchen with a very large center island so we could share many meals and prepare food and platters for the wedding. The living room has a lovely gas fireplace and we had many cozy evenings there as we destressed from all the wedding festivities. We spent quite a lot of time outdoors, walking down to the ocean and sitting on the deck, watching the stars. October is a lovely time to visit Rockport. Less traffic, pretty autumn colors, no big crowds at restaurants so short wait for tables. If we needed to come back for another event, I would choose this home again. *for those with back issues- all of the beds were cozy but not supportive and very soft.

Wonderful stay. Wide open spaces downstairs and great bedrooms upstairs. Super clean with lots of amenities. Judy was super helpful and responsive. Highly recommend this space if you are staying anywhere near Rockport. Do not hesitate with this wonderful home and host. We would 100% stay again.

The house is in a quiet and beautiful location. My family had everything we needed and especially enjoyed the many outdoor spaces around the house. The beds were comfy. Everything is high quality and impeccably clean. Kevin is super responsive. It's a short walk to the water and there is a footpath once there with an incredible view. A 2 minute drive to Rockport shops and restaurants. Highly recommend!

Cozy & comfortable house & convenient location for our visit to Gloucester for family wedding. Loved that it was walkable to market for coffee or lunch AND the beach. Weather not great while we were there but lots of games, puzzles, etc in the house to keep us entertained. Diane was very attentive, offered early check-in which we took advantage of. Highly recommend.

Xan’s place was such a gem! Beautiful views and beautiful location. Loved waking up and being able to walk to the different coffee places and enjoying a drink on the balcony. The house had everything we needed. Super comfy beds and clean towels/linens. Slept like a baby listening to the ocean every night. This house was perfect location - Close to the beach, the shops and restaurants. Having a parking spot was also a huge bonus! If you come to Rockport, you have to book this spot, even if it is just to see the cool window in the bathroom! ;)

Great place to stay, and hosts were very friendly and responsive. One note.. not related to the unit or the hosts but to navigation to the unit ... our GPS had us drive right past it and then drive around the block and attempt to pull in from behind which is impossible. So if you choose to stay here, and you should :-) , be aware..

Look no more! Winter Island Retreat is a seaside oasis that creates an atmosphere of tranquility and peace. From the moment I arrived I was struck by it's beauty captivated by the stunning sunrises to start each day The retreat is charming and a place of solace. The beautifully manicured lawn and gardens filled with lush floral designs adds to its magic. while the front porch with its rocking chairs, invite you to slow down and savor your morning coffee or lose yourself in a good book. Evenings are equally special walking the path to the beach and settling into the adriondack chair with a glass of wine It's a peaceful ritual that grounds you in gratitude. The home itself is cozy, comfortable and thoughtfully decorated with calming beachy touches that make you feel at ease. It's perfectly located just minutes from downtown Salem. I'm grateful to be one of the lucky guests to stay in David's home. He was a kind and gracious host. A truly memorable retreat I will be back

This was the perfect place to stay in Ipswich! Clean, beautifully furnished, and easy walking distance to town. Will definitely stay here again!

The reserved parking place at the church really made a difference. It was nice being able to walk to the Beauport Hotel and downtown waterfront Gloucester.

The Gilbert was exactly what we wanted and needed. We were attending a wedding at The Beauport and we were perfectly placed. A quick 4-5 minute walk. Jamie and Joe were wonderful hosts. They prepare you with thoroughly instructions on where to park, check in instructions, and any other bits of helpful information you might need. Communication was great! The Gilbert is placed in a central location making exploring on foot an easy option. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely rebook if we come to Gloucester again.

Only positive comments, everything was perfect. Location was superb as well as living accommodations.

This was a place I would gladly rent again should the occasion arise.

Kelly's place was pristine and perfectly comfortable. Everything was as advertised and Kelly was a super responsive and helpful host. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful home base in Salem, a little apart from the chaos.

What more can I say that hasn't already been said by other guests? The place was perfect for our 35th anniversary get-a-way. Darryl was so on top of things. We had a question and it was answered within 2 minutes. He really is a SUPER HOST.

We spent a few nights and had an amazing time right by the beach very peaceful it was great will definitely stay again

If you’re looking for a place to stay in Marblehead, this is it. The house exceeded our expectations—it was quaint, cozy, and offered a stunning view overlooking the bay. It had everything we needed for a relaxing family getaway, and was within a perfect walking distance to all the best shops and restaurants. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot!

Had a wonderful one night stay at Bryan’s place while visiting family. Home was extremely clean and quiet and had everything we needed. The provided snack basket/water was a nice touch. Would definitely stay again.

Super cozy space, very responsive Host!

Great location, walked everywhere, did not take the car out once during our stay. Onsite parking which is a big plus for the area. Historic home updated beautifully. Unit was very clean, would give cleanliness ten stars!! Matty responded quickly throughout the rental process. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

We had a great stay in Boston. We really appreciated being able to drop our luggage off in locked storage since our flight got in early. There are many great restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores just a short walk away. Additionally, it took us about 3 minutes to walk to the closest T station for easy access to the airport and downtown. The Airbnb was very well equipped, spotless, and thoughtfully laid out. Thank you Ali for a fantastic stay!
