Gorgeous, well-appointed home with A+ Views!

Amy’s Rockport home is incredible. Great space for large families looking for a peaceful place to stay. The views of the water are unbeatable and you can walk to a cove and beach. Easy access to town, and kind, easy to access host.

Paradise By The Sea

This rental exceeded our expectations in every way. We have been renting houses in the area for years. The location of the house is exceptional. The views are stunning. The kitchen is state-of-the-art. The host was always accessible to assist when needed. You can't ask for more.

Extraordinary!

I cannot say enough about this property and all that it offers. Stunning and well thought-out architecture, design, furnishings and layout, to say nothing of the ocean views from every single room. Incredibly equipped Poggenpohl kitchen stocked with every imaginable item one would need and more, and enhanced by helpful labeling and instructions. Nothing was spared to insure our comfort. Communication was friendly, immediate and thorough before and during our stay. Run, don’t walk to 1 Gap Head Road!

Family reunion

We have been staying in large Rockport homes for 20+ years - visits that brings our far-flung family together for a week of reunion. This, by far, was the finest. The house is large, beautifully and intelligently designed, and close to our old haunts and to the ocean. Wonderful week.

A Wonderful Week on the Water

This is a lovely home in a prime location with a magnificent view of Sandy Bay. The property manager met us when we arrived and did a fine job of taking us around the property and showing us how things worked. We have been doing family reunions in Rockport for twenty years and this home with plenty of room proved an excellent venue for that. This is a very comfortable home and we found it to be fully equipped with everything we needed. The wine refrigerator was particularly useful. Our week went by in a flash and we were sorry we had to leave.

Amazing rental property - 5 stars +++

This rental home is a dream. There are simply no words to describe how beautiful it is, and the photos (as amazing as they are) simply don't do it justice! Amy is an absolute pleasure to work with and is extremely attentive / responsive. This was by far our best rental to date.

Beautiful Property!

We loved our stay at this beautiful property! The views are unmatched and the first floor offers an incredible entertaining space with bright, open, well decorated rooms and huge windows. Amy was extremely communicative and thorough with the check-in process. Our only note is that this home may more comfortably sleep 12 people if the guests are both adults and children than if the guests are just adults because several of the bedrooms only have twin and trundle beds. We will be sure to remember our amazing stay and would highly recommend to others!

Gorgeous property. The host is phenomenal- local, lots of helpful hits, and knowledge of what to do, where to go and how to get things done. The house is set up for you to walk in and relax, and enjoy the sunsets no matter the weather. We will be back again next year.
