Fabulous VRBO!

We absolutely loved staying here. It was great to be in the center of the Bearskin Neck area of Rockport. The apartment was charming and had everything we needed. I was a bit worried because there was no parking on site, but we found ample parking an extremely short distance away—even I, with 5 joint replacements had no trouble with the parking! I would definitely stay here again. Definitely a five star experience in my book!

We had a wonderful long weekend in the Waterline. We were able to walk everywhere - shops, restaurants, galleries - from the fabulous location on Bearskin Neck in Rockport. Matt, our host, left nothing out. The apartment was well designed and equipped with our every need. We will definitely return!

Great place in the heart of Rockport!

My family and I had a wonderful stay in Rockport! The location couldn't be better, right in the middle of everything. I was initially a bit concerned about parking, but it turned out to be no issue at all. The place was clean, comfortable, and a perfect fit for out family of 4. We'd gladly stay here again on a future visit to Rockport.

We enjoyed our stay. Check in was easy and the location was fantastic! We could walk to everything in town. The beds were comfortable. The air conditioner works well, but is located in one bedroom, which makes it not as comfortable for the people staying in the second bedroom.
