About this property

Perfect apartment for a single or couple. Short walk to Front Beach and Town.

Private entrance down a crushed stone path ending with a garden patio.
Close to beaches, downtown and the commuter train to Boston.

Walk to downtown to visit the local shops, art galleries and restaurants known for their fresh seafood. If you are out for a morning walk be sure to stop by the coffee shop for a hand-cut doughnut.

We have a Beach Buggy ready for you to load up and walk to the beach. It will carry your chairs, towels and cooler!

The commuter train to Salem and Boston is a very short walk away. Perfect for a day trip.

Although Rockport offers much to do, staying 'home' is also a pleasant option. You can comfortably cook in the fully equipped kitchen or adjourn to the lovey garden patio with gas grill and bistro set.

Rockport is a charming New England town, especially if you are drawn to the water. You can spend your entire vacation here or use us as a starting point to discover the North Shore.

Property is available by the month for the months of June, July, August or September. Rates shown reflect the monthly rate. A special rate is available for additional months. Additional days may be arranged.

We know you will enjoy your stay.

Rockport Getaway

This is my third visit staying with Jo-Ann and Conrad. The Studio is perfect for a mini-vacation while enjoying the towns of Rockport/Gloucester. Everything is clean, well-organized, comfortable, and well-stocked for an enjoyable getaway. The location can't be beat, everything within walking distance of this peaceful retreat. Book with confidence, you will be glad you did!

Small but perfectly formed

Everything went smoothly for us from booking to checkout, good communication from owner. Small but perfectly formed, very well equipped. Great base for exploring area, easy walk into town & good train links to Boston. Quiet patio & pretty garden great for relaxing in. Owners live above & are available for advise or help - but not intrusive.

Lovely Studio

We loved our10 day stay at Jo-Ann and Connie’s in-town Rockport Studio. The well appointed guest area is located in the lower level of their Rockport home and has its own entrance and patio with a lovely garden with table and chairs for morning coffee and your newspaper. The studio includes a new pristine efficiency kitchen and bathroom , a very comfortable queen bed, and a comfortable reading/ TV area and table etc. The dishes, towels, bedding, bath and kitchen supplies, storage and beach equipment are well appointed and complete! We didn’t need to bring a thing. They have thought of everything. The Studio’s atmosphere was quiet, private and homelike. We felt welcomed and relaxed during our stay and left refreshed and grateful. The location of the studio is excellent, and walkable to all of Rockport Village’s many attractions and beaches. The hosts have created a relaxed and welcoming respite for their guests and we look forward to our next visit. Jo-Ann and Connie are kind and thoughtful hosts responsive to your privacy, needs, questions and assure your stay is an enjoyable one. We highly recommend this in town gem!

Nice for single or couple

Smaller than expected but manageable, very clean and well kept, and location was fantastic super close to the train station and all the shops in rock port. However the listing did not say that it was directly under the owners hours and the ceilings are very thin, we heard them walking and the tv so we can only assume they heard us the whole time, not the best privacy wise but overall a good stay

Cozy and Close

We just stayed at this lovely little apartment. It was super clean and a five minute walk into town and Front Beach. There was a small patio area we enjoyed on our down time. I wanted an option for 4.8 stars because my ONLY complaint was that we found the bed to be uncomfortable. The hosts were super responsive and just very nice people to interact with. Another note; we didn’t have to do anything prior to checking out. We contacted the host to be sure and she said just to leave everything! A small, but nice perk.

Everything you would want!

Th he location was perfect for us. A 9 minute walk to Main Street. We love to walk and it is a perfect location to everything. The property is like a small, one floor apartment. An outside patio was an added bonus. There is even a grill! When we came back at night there is a motion detector which is a great safety feature. We had also put the back door light light on for our return. This property also has large windows keeping the inside bright. And very easy to pull down blinds. I was also glad to see recycling containers. It is also a quiet area, which we like while on vacation. This property is great!
