9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (5 reviews)
"Great house, great location, made for a perfect vacation. Kerin was quick to respond to any of our questions, making check-in super easy. The house is just the right mix of Rockport history and modern amenities, beautifully decorated yet casual and comfortable for a family with two energetic kids. The location was just right as well; a quick walk to the beach, shops and restaurants, while tucked away on a quiet neighborhood street. We felt like locals for the week, popping over to Bearskin Neck...
