Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Rockport

We instantly felt at home! Everything we needed was there, including things that I often bring with me because they aren't usually provided. Erin has set up this house the way you would if you lived there yourself--extra pillows, blankets, bathroom and kitchen towels, kitchen and laundry detergent. Basic spices, coffee and tea, sugar and creamer, every kitchen gadget and utensil. Bath products, night lights, beach chairs and towels. Even a bluetooth speaker and use of their Netflix account! All we needed were a few groceries and some sunshine to enjoy the outdoor spaces and seasonal game room. The house is spacious and charming! Their check-in and check-out methods are easy and they left ample info on how things work in the house and local restaurant and activity recommendations. This is a great location and home. I almost wish we had brought the kids...

This private home is lovely. It is appropriate if stairs are okay for your group 😊. Very clean, near plenty of coffee shops, easy to find, very safe area.

An amazing place to stay! So beautiful and peaceful, feels very private. A beach and coffee shop are a short walk away! Love this place and would come again.

Sheila's cottage by the sea did not disappoint! This sweet, plenty spacious, dog friendly home perfectly accommodated my husband, me, and our two "inquisitive and always on the alert", pups. Highlights were: location, location, location (easy walk to Pavilion Beach); large wrap-around expansive deck equipped with comfortable seating and tall bar stools allowing one to see even more of the serene, panoramic, spectacular water views; clean, comfortable, homey, quaint & quirky (in a good way) surroundings; vases of lilacs and one of beautiful fresh flowers; charming wood -some reclaimed- ceilings in the sun and main rooms; some updated features such as the easy to open windows for ocean breezes and new washer & dryer; frosted, ice cold pint beer glasses waiting for us on the door of the freezer - much appreciated - and lastly, the large shower with steam (should you be so inclined), and clawfoot tub. We would love to return to this little slice of paradise some day. Thank you Sheila!

Had a nice time, house was close to a lot. Great location and kept us close to friends and family. We will be back. Would recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in Gloucester

Eric’s Queen Victorian was like a vacation within itself! The location was conveniently close Boston with tons of restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Overall my family and I had a wonderful stay and Eric was a great host!

We had a great stay. The place has a pretty view of the ocean, and the beautiful beach is just a short walk away.

We stayed at Erin’s place to visit family and to attend a graduation and graduation party. Place was stocked with everything we needed l, was clean and comforting, and worked perfectly. Erin was very responsive and helpful. Thank you for letting us stay!

The house was perfect for my family and I- plenty of open space for the kids to play and a great yard- even in December with cold weather the kids loved the play gym outside!! The location was amazing with lots of things to do within a few minutes and the food scene was great. Thanks to Ned for a spotless home and great amenities!! We can’t wait to come back in the summer to use the pool!!

Amy was very responsive and communicative. The house was clean and maps took us right to the home. It was too early in the season to enjoy the pool but it was pristine and would have been great for hot summer weather. Amy was wonderful with trying to accomodate any requests and we liked the location from easy access to Salem and within a one hour drive to Boston!

Thoroughly delightful stay. Spacious. Immaculate. Comfortable. Generously stocked by Maxine with refrigerator and pantry items. Super comfortable beds and linens. Hosted an extended family dinner and had everything we could possibly need in kitchen and cabinets. Already planning our return. Maxine is communicative, responsive, helpful. She clearly enjoys hosting and providing guests with a positive experience. Thank you, Maxine!

We absolutely loved our stay at this home! It was extremely clean, cozy, and beautifully prepared — every detail made us feel so comfortable and welcome. You can truly feel the love and care the host put into the space. It felt like a warm home from the moment we arrived. We are already looking forward to coming back again. Thank you for such a special experience! 🙏✨💕☀️

My stay was comfortable and met my expectations. I’d come back the next time I’m in the area!

We were lucky enough to have a very extended stay at this lovely little bungalow! The house is so sweet! The layout is easy, the rooms are comfortably furnished, and the floors are beautiful, and there is an incredible library of books. The house is full of natural light, and nestled in a little private spot. There is lovely landscaping in the front yard, and the back yard is magical. The pool is amazing, and you feel like you are in your own little peaceful world here. The house is an easy walk to all of the things that make Rockport such a cool town. And, you can hear the ocean at night from the yard! Trent and Cassie are the best hosts! Kind, responsive, and mellow. We loved everything about our stay! We will be back. ( :

Hanky’s place was great! Awesome location with lots of things to do and places to eat. The apartment was clean and had all of the necessities. Extra bonus was the lunch we had waiting for us when we checked in. Only down side was how expensive parking was but that’s out of anyone’s control.

We really enjoyed our stay at Luxestay! It’s a stylish, upscale apartment with all the amenities we needed. The space was clean, and the air mattress was available. We also appreciated the host’s kindness in arranging a pickup with the cleaner when we’d forgotten something. Highly recommended!

Fabulous location with great recommendations. The “treats” left for us were a welcome added bonus! Thank you!

A warm and welcoming home directly on a beautiful beach! This house is ideal for families and offers everything you need to enjoy a relaxing stay on the ocean. We enjoyed our stay so much - we extended a day because we couldn’t bear to leave! We WILL be back and will forever be grateful to Matt for sharing his home that holds a week full of core memories for our children.

Meredith’s place was exactly as described! It was charming, clean, and comfortable. The location is excellent, the heating/air conditioning worked like a charm, and everything was incredibly clean. We would recommend to anyone that is visiting York!

Perfect place for our group of 6 to stay whiling visiting family. Walkable to many local attractions and having a parking space was luxury after driving to many of the surrounding towns. Kitchen was stocked with perfect amenities (my kids loved the snack selection and I was thankful for the coffee bar). Would definitely stay again if we return to Swampscott.

Dominique is a great host, and stands out from others in the Gloucester area with her kindness and openness. She welcomed us even though we arrived later than the check in time, guided us to the unit, and made sure that we felt right at home. Her friendliness to our family and our pet is something we really value and appreciate. If you need a cozy riverside apartment within 10 minutes of the lovely cafes and shops of Downtown Gloucester or 15 minutes from picturesque Bearskin Neck in Rockport, this should be at the top of your list!

Beautiful apartment in the Neck - probably the pettiest place I’ve been to in all of Boston. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Surf Bungalow. The house was exactly as pictured and very clean. The views of the marsh and ocean beyond are terrific. The location is great, so close to everything. Shaws market is just around the corner. For a great pizza or sub be sure to visit Surfside subs which is about 3 minutes up the road. We also like Midori Chinese/Japanese restaurant ( thanks to the owner for the recommendation) We had a delicious lunch with the best fried whole clams at the Lobster of Gloucester, a restaurant that should not be missed if your staying in Gloucester. Both restaurants are just 5 or 10 minutes from the house. Another fun trip is the road out the Eastern Point Lighthouse and a walk on the jetty. Just ignore the private road signs that try to scare you off, the road is public and open to everyone all the way to the lighthouse.

What a gorgeous place in a historic town that was exactly what we needed! Communication and instructions were easy to understand. Lots of extra towels and linens, pillows, blankets. I only wish we could have stayed longer, we’ll have to come back in the summer.
