Another great year!
We had another great year at the Holbrook House! House was spotless when we arrived! Fran and Frank have great communication ahead of arrival. Our family of 4, loves the location-easy walk to beach, park, and Brothers Brew donuts in the morning. The outdoor shower and small grassy yard make this house so special-both hard to find in Rockport!

Perfect vacation home!
This was a lovely house - clean, well- stocked with charming decor. Nice quite street but close to the beach, shopping and dining spots as well as the Commuter Rail station. Fran and Frank were great hosts. We had a couple of questions before we arrived which they answered quickly. And they were very helpful when we arrived. We loved our time at Holbrook House.

Quiet Neighborhood
The Kitchen is well furnished for at home cooking and meals. The house is located in a nice and quiet neighborhood. Fran and Frank are friendly and helpful and gave us good information about beach closures due to water conditions. The back yard is a great place to have dinner—quiet and private. The home is damp (we stayed two weeks through some rainy weather) and the bedroom with the twin beds had an unpleasant odor that appeared to be emanating from the air conditioner. Hopefully these issues can be corrected

A lovely stay in Rockport, MA
This has been one of our favorite VRBO stays. The home was in a great location for downtown, Bearskin Neck, the beaches, and is very close to a beautiful park with pond, and playground, if you have young children. Fran and Frank were available and did communicate making us feel comfortable with their availability. The home was very clean and sweetly and comfortably decorated. We felt right at home!

Lovely little house in Rockport
we absolutely loved our stay here. The house is close to the town and beaches and actually exceeded our expectations. The beds are very comfortable, the living room is a good size with games and plenty of books, the kitchen is a good size and stocked with all the cookware and tableware that you would need. The bathroom is a little small but had plenty of towels and hot water and honestly, what else do you need? We enjoyed sitting out on the patio out back with our glasses of wine and definitely plan on staying here again. Thanks Frank and Fran!

Great House!
This is our third summer staying at the Holbrook House. We love it-great house, great owners. Perfect size for our family of 4. We love the location for walks to the beach, town, and train station. We love having the backyard, outdoor shower and grill-which are not easy to come by in Rockport! We will be back next year for our 4th year.

Another wonderful stay
This was our second visit and it was just as delightful as the first. The house is a perfect home away from home. Fran and Frank make sure you have everything you need. I especially love that there were additional little books and activities for the kids. The location also can’t be beat. You’re right near the beach and downtown shops and food. And if you have kids, there’s a park around the corner. We absolutely plan to come back again.

Memorial Day Gem
Staying here made for the most perfect Memorial Day weekend! The house was spotless and has an amazing backyard. The hosts were easily reached and were very responsive. The house was well-stocked; kitchen even had ground coffee for the morning brew! It’s a unique and old-fashioned (i.e., not accessible) beautiful property. It’s in a great location, just minutes from a park, beaches, and Bearskin Neck.

Comfort in a neighborhood enclave close to town
Small and cozy apartment with all the kitchen amenities. Comfortable living room for watching TV with streaming channels. Wonderful morning sun in the kitchen. Location is perfect for jaunts into town. Parking space right in front. Hosts helpful with any questions. Our first stay was a long weekend in early March. We have already made plans to return for a week in July. Looking forward to that!

Holbrook house was perfect for our needs. Although we weren't there a lot, (tourist things) it provided us with a sense of comfort to start our day and end our day. Rockport is a friendly coastal town, with lots to see. We will definitely try to use this house again if we come back. Thank you for the use of your place.
