We had a wonderful week's stay in The Bookstore. It was a lovely unit, conveniently located to the main street of Rockport and so clean and tidy. There is a spacious parking lot easily accessible for several cars. The unit is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is outfitted with anything you might need to cook meals, but you might be too tempted by the local restaurants to make too many meals. The beds are wonderfully comfortable and the unit was very quiet. We slept better at The Bookstore than we do at home! Hope to return soon.

This is a lovely place to stay when visiting Rockport. It is easily accessed, has great parking, and is near (many of them are just walking distance away) the local shops and restaurants. The unit was spotless, the kitchen has all you need to make a meal, and the accommodations are very comfortable. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place to relax and enjoy your stay in the area.

Kitchen is great for breakfast/small meals. Thanks for the prompt response to some very minor requests during our stay. Would stay there again!

Lovely little home in great location, easy walk to Shalin Liu performance center, restaurants, beaches, and all the cute downtown shops. We parked the car in back and then walked almost everywhere. We took quick drives to Halibut Point (stunning always, but very cool to see the quarry frozen!), Wenham, and Gloucester. It was so nice to visit in the off season and this made a great home base for our girls’ weekend. The king size beds are super comfy, apartment well kitted out with laundry, dishwasher, 3 individual mini splits, coffee maker with coffee pods, etc. Easy to get in with custom keypad code. Excellent and kind communication. Appreciated the online guest guide. Rockport and the North Shore have so much to offer year-round and our March visit meant lots of shop sales and no crowds.
