Just as the first visit we found everything to be as hoped; clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. We had issues with our car breaking down and Gigi was so helpful in answering our questions and providing valuable direction for us. We highly recommend the Harbor Retreat for anyone planning a visit to Rockport for a few days or for a week. The location is perfect for walking all around Rockport and it was nice to know in our return trip that we were returning to a clean, well-appointed apartment with a fantastic hostess!

This is a wonderful upstairs apartment with a small porch overlooking the southern harbor in Rockport. Great morning sunrises. Great location for walking around town and Bearneck, and for traveling to Halibut and Gloucester and surrounding areas. Very clean and Gigi was an amazing host. You get to the apt through a short clean alley between buildings but it was always clean and meant easy walking distance to some fun shopping and great food and incredible ocean views. will be staying here again. ##### MARIE F. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret M. Oct 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rockport Cape Ann getaway We LOVED Harbor Retreat. Super clean and everything you need for a comfortable stay. AND right on the Rockport Town Wharf so you can walk to all the shops. We overnight parked on Norwood street and I highly recommend walking to end of Norwood St. the views and homes are stunning. Had we never parked there we probably would have never walked the neighborhood and missed out. There are small public footpaths clearly labeled too that will bring you to stunning views which were fun. If your not able to walk just drive Norwood Street and you'll see it all by car! Our GPS did bring us a couple streets away from Town Wharf so if that happens just put Town Wharf into your GPS and you'll figure it out where your supposed to be. Enjoy! ##### Margaret M. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce or Jennifer Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Host is very easy to work and communicate with. Loft was well appointed. Had a lovely time and got to enjoy night photography on the wharf and felt extremely safe. ##### Bruce or Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Boston / Fitchburg, MA](https://www.expedia.ca/Leominster-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Boston-Fitchburg.h8458771.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Hyannis - Cape Cod](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Comfort-Inn.h1240460.Hotel-Information) > > [The Corsair & Cross Rip Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dennis-Port-Hotels-The-Corsair-Cross-Rip-Oceanfront-Resort.h894158.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbor Hotel Provincetown](https://www.expedia.ca/Provincetown-Hotels-Harbor-Hotel-Provincetown.h421590.Hotel-Information) > > [Freebird Motor Lodge by Reverie Boutique Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Hunters-Green-Cape-Cod.h6589307.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Boston-Andover](https://www.expedia.ca/Andover-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Boston-Andover.h25755.Hotel-Information) > > [Chatham Bars Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chatham-Hotels-Chatham-Bars-Inn.h19139.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations Oak n’ Spruce Resort in the Berkshires by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Lee-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-Oak-N-Spruce-Resort.h20875006.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyannis Travel Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Hyannis-Travel-Inn.h1379109.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Marlborough/Apex Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-MarlboroughApex-Center.h20178059.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Cape Cod Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Best-Western-Cape-Cod-Hotel.h28183.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Best-Western-Royal-Plaza-Hotel-Trade-Center.h14628.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Cod Family Resort and Parks](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Cape-Cod-Family-Resort-And-Inflatable-Park.h5306790.Hotel-Information) > > [Brass Key Guesthouse - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Provincetown-Hotels-Brass-Key-Guesthouse-Adults-Only.h18632862.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Bentley Brook](https://www.expedia.ca/Hancock-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Bentley-Brook.h973618.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Northside Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Williamstown-Hotels-Northside-Motel.h1581984.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Boston - Milford by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Milford-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Boston-Milford.h555108.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayside Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Bayside-Resort-Hotel.h896697.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn By Marriott Boston Andover](https://www.expedia.ca/Andover-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Boston-Andover.h795379.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Boston Marlborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Boston-Marlborough.h22959.Hotel-Information) > > [SpringHill Suites by Marriott Wrentham Plainville](https://www.expedia.ca/Wrentham-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Wrentham-Plainville.h57749189.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information)
