Holbrook House: Charming Rockport Village House, Walk To Everything!

We enjoyed five nights at Holbrook House in October 2025. The location is perfect - very close to the train station and a short drive or 15 minute walk to the historic downtown area. We debated between staying in Gloucester or Rockport and definitely made the right choice with Rockport. It is a charming seaside village with a bunch of shops and eateries all within an easily walkable area.This property is perfect for a family of four or a couple. The queen bedroom is a little tight, but we were only two. We used the second bedroom as a space to unpack and change. The living area is very cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed winding down there in the evenings and appreciated the abundance of extra blankets to cuddle up in. The kitchen had everything that we needed, including a coffee maker and basic provisions.Parking in the area can be difficult, so it was very nice to have dedicated parking right in front of the property. We also took advantage of the laundry facilities which were full-sized and in great condition. Note that only the laundry room is on the lower (street) level, so it is necessary to navigate stairs to reach the living space on the upper level.Fran and Frank were wonderful hosts. They left information out for us specific to our travels and provided recommendations about places to visit. The communication was great and they checked in a few times to be sure we had everything we needed. We would happily return here again in the future!

This house was in a convenient location, easy walk of about 5 minutes to Front Beach. Quiet neighborhood. Kitchen very well stocked. Couldn’t think of anything to add or change to this property. Communication smooth with owners, very prompt replies. Parking easy, off street.

The kitchen was well equipped. Clothes washer/dryer were large and modern. The place was well located so we could walk to many of the places we wanted to visit.

This is a great place
