Fantastic Townhouse
Tuna Warf Townhouse is beautiful, comfortable, roomy and a great location. The four of us stayed one night and wished we could have stayed longer. Jonathon was a great communicator and ensured we had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful Rockport experience.

Our family trip was really enhanced by our visit to Tuna Warf at Rockport. The host was very courteous and help. The quaint shopping area with a wide selection of foods was just steps away. The only thing to be said about the view is "W0W!"

Perfect Weekend at Tuna Wharf Townhouse
Boy is this place a home run! My family was lucky enough to get to call this perfectly delightfully spot home for my husband’s big birthday weekend. A dedicated parking spot was waiting for us and started us out with a huge sigh of relief after a deadly long slog through weekend traffic. Then, we got to the place and WOW! The place is simply gorgeous: modern and clean yet classic and homey, filled with local art, fascinating books and cool artifacts to delight us in every room. The kitchen was spacious and stocked with goodies, the living room’s couches and chairs were perfect for lounging. The picture window looking out to the sea wall was mesmirizing. The TV and Alexa made listening to favorite tunes and movie watching easy. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the bathrooms light and modern… and that deck! We were there to relax and just simply be together, and this was just the perfect spot. While the design of the home, location and views just can not be beat, what REALLY made our stay was Jonathan. He was super friendly and communicative throughout the whole process, making sure we got excited to be there, had tons of recommendations for activities and meals, and really just put us at ease the whole weekend. The best host you could ask for by a mile! Five hundred stars! We hope to be back soon :)

Perfect seaside village escape!!
Great location with so many things to do: Hiking on the beautiful beaches and parks, boating, kayaking, whale watching, you name it! Plenty of restaurants and shops and the Tuna Wharf Town House topped it off with many comforts, including a comfortable bed and great nights sleep listening to the waves outside. Kitchen was perfect w/ great deck too if you choose to just stay and enjoy the surroundings. Jonathan was great, as he recommended numerous stops in the area and was ready for anything that came up. If you choose to be in the New England area at all, check this place out! AAAAA++++

Absolutely wonderful!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Tuna Wharf Townhouse exceeded all of our expectations! It was so thoughtfully updated and decorated and felt like a home, rather than a rental. Furniture and beds were all very comfortable, and there were great views from every window. Sunrise each morning was spectacular! And Jonathan…what a wonderful host! He met us there and showed us everything we needed to know about TWT and OMG…he had the kitchen fully stocked with beverages and goodies to be enjoyed during the stay. I really cannot say enough good things about this VRBO; truly top-notch and the best we have ever rented. We love Rockport and if we go back again without the dog, we will book TWT again without hesitation.

Exceptional Stay in Rockport
We only stayed one night but wish we could have stayed for the whole season! Rockport comes to life during the holidays and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tuna Wharf Townhouse. The host, Jonathan, went above and beyond for us. The location on Bearskin Neck can’t be beat and the views of the harbor are beautiful. The unit itself is well appointed with designer and artistic touches. This was the perfect getaway. Highly recommend!

Couldn’t be any better!
Right from the start, Jonathon was there to greet us, help us get established in his cozy, clean, comfortable well appointed and felt like home condo! Did I mention the view yet? It was spectacular in the morning with coffee, in the late afternoon with cocktails and in the evening with the moonlight. We could not have been any more pleased than we were. Plenty of room for the 4 of us, without stepping on or over each other. Any questions posed to Jonathon in person or via text, were answered promptly. We lived in town back in the 80’s so we were familiar with the area, but if you’re not, the many books and periodicals available will get you up to snuff pretty quickly. We picked our weekend trip to Rockport to relive our memories of the Christmas festivities once shared with our now adult children, and the town did not disappoint! Our friends who joined us enjoyed their visit too! Thank you Jonathon for your kindness and hospitality. If we come back that way again, we’d love to be your guests again! Dave & Joanne

The Most Cozy Place in Cape Ann!
I can not express enough how amazing our experience and stay was at TWT in Rockport MA. We’ve stayed all across the USA using VRBO’s and this spot beats them all. The website photos are great but the scenic views in person are amazing. This home sits on the water with picture perfect Sunrise views. Perfectly located within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants in the area. With all that said, I saved the best for last, you absolutely WILL NOT find a better Host than, Jonathan. He is hands down the best, from leading up to our arrival to following up after we checked out to make sure we found our next destination ok. Jonathan is kind, thoughtful and was imperative to our fantastic experience. Thank you again Jonathan for allowing us to experience your slice of paradise in Cape Ann. 10/10

Cozy!
This little place is extremely centrally located to all things Rockport. You can pretty much walk anywhere. Very nice living quarters, and after the scheduled renovation of the downstairs bathroom, it will be even MORE luxurious! We went in October and the area was still very busy. I can imagine summer would be even more so. I will say the stairs up to the place and up to the second floor are quite steep. Certainly doable but if you have any knee issues at all, it might be a consideration. The washing machine is quite small. If you have a lot of laundry, just look for a laundromat close by. Jonathan is a wonderful host and full of information and recommendations. Wish we could have stayed longer. It is BEAUTIFUL!!!

The Perfect Stay
From the moment we contacted Jonathan about the rental we had constant communication. We have been vacationing in Rockport for 40 years and this was the place we always wanted to rent. House was better than advertised. beautiful view of the harbor, clean, comfortable, and the perfect location. We arrived late at night and were greeted with a selection of local beverages and snacks. Johnathan had plenty of books, magazines, and brochures to guide you through the Cape Ann area. The local folks in the immediate vicinity of the rental were welcoming and friendly. We look forward to booking our next stay

Perfect getaway July 2022
The property was situated in the center of Tuna Wharf which was surrounded by quaint little shops and the inlet, which is a great view from the deck while your having a relaxing cocktail. Stayed a week with another couple and we enjoyed all of our time there. All the pictures that you see on the rental site are exactly what you get so you won’t be disappointed. The apartment was very clean, comfortable and stocked with all sorts of amenities. Highly Recommended!!! Now about the super host Johnathan, all I can say is WOW!!! I have had a few super hosts in the past but by far Johnathan is the best. He knows the area very well and suggested some fine restaurants and activities in the area which were very helpful. Also he would check in with me too make sure everything was going well and if I had any issues with the apartment (which we didn’t) He made himself available in case we even had any questions about the apartment or just the area. Can’t say enough about him being a super host 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We plan on going back in the near future😎 John, Lynn, Joe, Vikki
