Waterfront holiday rentals in Rockport

What a lovely place to stay in Rockport. Great location that’s super walkable to the shops, cafes, galleries and beaches of Rockport; I took the train and did not need a car during my visit. The apartment is great, with a comfy bed, smart TV and a well-equipped kitchen for preparing meals when not dining out. And a great little patio overlooking the harbor. Gigi was a very helpful and responsive host. Thank you!

Our first trip to the Boston area couldn’t have been better! This Airbnb was absolutely perfect for our family of four. The bedroom I stayed in had its own balcony with a beautiful ocean view—ideal for peaceful summer mornings or warm, relaxing nights. The open-concept living room and kitchen gave us plenty of space to unwind after a day of exploring. But what really sets this place apart are two unbeatable features: first, you won’t find easier access to public transportation—there’s a bus stop just a 30-second walk away that takes you right into Boston. Second, the hosts, Milan and Anna, were some of the kindest and most helpful we’ve ever met. Their local tips made our stay even better. Great amenities, smartTV, updated shower, dishwasher, laundry, grill available to use, etc. Right next to the house is a beautiful walkway that stretches down the beachfront of Winthrop. We’re already talking about coming back as the Boston area is second to none!

This was the perfect place for our family. Comfortable bedrooms and twin beds for the kids. Right across the street from the beach and a playground. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

This place is a perfect Nahant beach get-away. We were there for a wedding over the weekend, and were so lucky to find Elyse's place! Elyse is a wonderful host, and she communicated everything in such a detailed manner that finding the place/checking in was a breeze. It poured rain all weekend, but the cozy, clean unit that is decorated beautifully and is so conveniently located to everything made us feel at home. The unit has everything you need - even a lovely deck overlooking Boston Harbor. Elyse was gracious enough to offer to turn on the hot tub for us while we were arriving, and she had great local recommendations. While we did not get to use the hot tub or go to the beach because of the rain, we hope to return and take full advantage of how special this place is again!

This was a perfect location for a long weekend getaway! Proximity to public transportation makes this place an awesome option for Boston travels, the ocean is absolutely gorgeous! I ran the Boston marathon on my visit and the hot tub was incredible for recovery! The bed is so comfortable and even though we didn’t cook anything, we easily could have! Having a washer and dryer in the unit available meant that I don’t have piles of laundry to do when I get home!

Stayed with a friend in April and it was perfect for our needs. We had a comfy room each and pleasant living space and patio. Bathroom was small but it didn’t matter. Shops and cafes and harbor all very close walk away. There’s a good place on Tuna Wharf to hire ebikes and kayaks to get around, too. No need for a car really. We arrived on the train to Rockport - station is about 15 mins walk away and there’s a good grocery store next to the station.

We had the best time in Arlington this past week! We came for the Boston marathon. The place was beautiful and the location was perfect. It was close to Boston but far enough out for the peace and quiet. Doug and Hope were the most exceptional hosts. They were accommodating and very responsive. They went above and beyond to make our stay and everything we needed as easy as possible. They were so great and we hope to come back in the future!!

this place is a hidden gem. I absolutely love it my absolute favorite place in this area can't wait to return. hostess is awesome she gave recommendations to awesome restaurants and things to do. condo was clean I truly love this place

Accommodation: We stayed at Mary Lou's house that truly felt like home. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The living spaces were tastefully decorated, combining comfort with a cozy beach vibe. The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances, cookware, and utensils, making it easy to prepare our own meals. We loved that there were ample supplies like spices and condiments, which made cooking feel effortless. The bedrooms were spacious and well-appointed, with comfortable beds and high-quality linens. Each room had its own unique touches, adding to the overall charm. We appreciated the thoughtful amenities, such as plenty of towels, beach gear, and even games for family nights. Overall, the house provided all the conveniences we needed, creating a relaxing environment where we could unwind after a day of exploring the island. It really felt like a home away from home! Pictures didn't do the home justice-Even better in person!

We had a great stay at Cecile’s. The place is very clean and nicely decorated. The beds are very comfortable! We had plenty of space to gather and socialize. Very close to great takeout places, a grocery store…all the amenities. And the view is beautiful!

We stayed at Jenny and Thom’s for a family reunion weekend in Newton where the festivities were at my sister’s house who lived nearby. The home was perfect for what we needed . It is very cozy, nicely decorated, very clean, and well equipped. The view from the back is so peaceful and we even saw a swan! The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are squeaky clean. Directions for care of the home are very clear - and little details like labels for the lights were helpful. Jenny was always available if we had any issues but we had none. We would stay again!

This was our 3rd year renting, and we’ve already booked for the 4th year! That pretty much says it all! It’s our favorite long weekend of the year. You will not be disappointed.

James was an excellent host for my family and me. We thoroughly enjoyed the place and its beautiful surroundings.

Im looking forward to staying here again this summer

Anne’s place is an amazing old ocean front home. I was so excited to experience staying there, as we have no houses like this where I’m from. The ocean views are amazing from the porch, the upstairs bedrooms, and the crow’s nest. We watched seals and eider and mergansers and loons. It was also great to people watch from the front porch as lots of dog walkers walked by. We rock scrambled at low tide and got out to Brant Rock. Anne was super responsive and quick to answer questions when we first checked in. The house is old, quirky, and beautiful. The updated bathrooms are gorgeous. We cooked breads and lasagna and lots of other stuff and had all the pots, pans, and baking pans that we needed (which is rare in an Airbnb). Really lovely stay in a really lovely home. The perfect place to ring in the New Year with people I love.

The lake house is the perfect place to gather with family and reconnect. My father, brother and me all enjoyed our stay together catching up and walking through the areas woods. Looking forward to next year.

An amazing beachfront getaway! The property was clean, well-maintained, and offered breathtaking views of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying sunsets from the patio was a dream. The host was responsive and made everything seamless. Perfect for a relaxing stay—can’t wait to come back!

Christina's property was a wonderful place to escape to for a few days! It is the perfect size for 1-2 people, has everything you need, and the view is unbeatable. The parking space is incredibly convenient and the location of the property provides easy access to the rest of Bearskin Neck and Rockport proper. I hope to stay here again in the future!

This is a way to truly get away. The studio was gorgeous, the bed was incredibly comfortable and having the ocean right outside was amazing. We only booked for a weekend, but I wish we had booked for a week - so amazing!! Everything was perfect!!

Chris’s place was exactly as described and depicted. Immaculately clean and very comfortable. Great location…..just steps to all of our favorite spots! Chris was also very responsive…. we hope to return again sometime!

Excellent condo, clean and felt like we were at home. I would stay here again in a minute. Highly recommended. Thank you Jose.

we had a wonderful time, everything was perfect. Diane's place was clean and we had everything we needed. The view was awesome and walking distance to everything.

We stayed Thursday night through Sunday 4-2-25 thru 4-6-25. Almost everything was in walking distance. We tried a new restaurant every night, eating mostly Italian. We weren't to far from Quincy Market, we had brunch almost every day and did shopping. It is right across the street from the wharf and we had a beautiful view from the living room. We went to go and see the Red Sox game for opening day. Couldn't have asked for better weather and a wonderful place to stay. Any questions we had were answered quickly and they game us great recommendations for restaurants. We will definitely be going back again, rating was 5 stars! Anne Duran

Perfect spot for a couple days of shopping and enjoying Commercial Street. Gorgeous views. Perfect location across from the new park. We loved it.
