This is the best Rockport rental we have ever had for our family. We were a party of 11, and we had more than enough room to be together when we wanted to be and separate when we wanted to be, too. The house had everything we could have hoped for, including lots of puzzles, games, spices, and beach equipment. My husband and I spent a lot of time sitting on the porch with our grown children and watching our teenage grandchildren come and go from the beach and the downtown shops. It was a perfect spot!

We had an amazing stay at this house! It was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our big family. The location was ideal—close to town but still peaceful, with beautiful views all around. We especially loved spending time on the porch, which became our favorite spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. The host was incredibly helpful and made everything so easy for us. We’d love to come back again!

We loved 2 King st. One of the best appointed rentals we have stayed at and everyone enjoyed the décor & interesting art. Fantastic location close to beach & shopping. Parking was easy and the hosts kindly saved us an additional spot. Would definitely stay again.

Best place in Rockport

My Wife and I stayed here with our 3 adult Children and their SO's. There was plenty of common space, a great kitchen, private bathrooms for each room and a stunning view of the beach and ocean from the porch and 2 of the bedrooms. It was easy to walk to town for shopping and food. Everyone had a great time.

Great Vacation

The entire family, comprising eight adults and two children, thoroughly enjoyed the property. The front beach, conveniently located across the street, offers a serene and picturesque setting. Tim, the host, promptly responded to any questions we had via text, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free rental experience. We are already planning to rent the property annually.

Beach & King is a beautiful and comfortable home, with very interesting and quirky art. Always something new and fun to see in every room. The kitchen is very workable and fully and generously stocked. The location could not be better, with views of the beach and, from my bedroom, stunning sunrises. It’s a nice and easy walk to shops and galleries and restaurants. Communication with Tim the owner was always easy and quick. My family and I had a wonderful and relaxing long weekend and highly recommend.

Our family group of 11, ages 15-84, spent a week in this house and loved it! From the spacious living areas to the four homey, comfortable bedrooms with attached bathrooms, to the large porch with a great view of the ocean and neighborhood, it was perfect for us. The three youngest in the family enjoyed having individual sleeping areas. The kitchen is well equipped and stocked with essentials, including a large refrigerator and plenty of ice. Bearskin Neck is a quick walk with good food options and fun shopping. A lovely small park is less than a block away. I was hesitant to book this place because it wasn’t the typical rental we choose (not so modern or “sleek”) but that’s what makes it so special. We discovered new objects of decor every day. :) So charming! At the beginning of our stay, we enjoyed the fireplace, but by the end of the week we used the effective window AC units. No problems, no complaints. We highly recommend Beach and King!

Family Gathering

Our Stay at Beach and King Beach House was by far our favorite stay after 20 consecutive years of family gatherings at other locations in the Rockport/ Gloucester area. The location could not be better. The house is beautiful and spacious with plenty of room for our family to cook and eat together and to spread out and do our own thing if we wanted. Bedrooms are large and very well appointed. Our host Tim was very friendly and responsive with excellent communication. We absolutely loved every minute of our stay! We highly recommend Beach and King.

Beautiful Rockport Home, Epic Location

We stayed at the Beach & King in early October, for a long weekend to bring family together to celebrate our daughter's birthday. The entire experience was lovely - from the warm and thorough greeting by Tim, the host/owner and his wife, to the comfortable beds, ample living spaces for spending time together, spacious and well-appointed kitchen, fun artwork throughout the home, and views and sounds of the waves from Front Beach across the street. Admittedly, the front porch with beautiful ocean/beach views was everyone's favorite. Location is fantastic, a short walk from the historic and commercial area at Bearskin Neck, but far enough that it is peaceful and quiet and allowed us to appreciate the ocean sounds. Perfect Rockport getaway!

Whiimsical Artistic House

This house is located in such a great area of Rockport. It’s close to the beach and the train station. Our family’s home was less than a mile from this house which made it very convenient to visit them. This VRBO house has the best display of different artists in the area. It should be declared an art museum.There is a bathroom for every bedroom. The owner greeted us and gave a great tour of the house and left a great book with ideas for touring, restaurant ideas and indicated free wifi password. It was one of the best homes I’ve ever stayed in with VRBO. A must stay in Rockport.

Super location

This property was amazing! Our yearly family vacation could not have been better! Tim was there to greet us when we arrived and helped us with parking, which was no problem at all and gave us a quick tour of the home, which is absolutely beautiful. We were 8 adults and 4 children and there was more than enough room to accommodate us all. We enjoyed the beach every day and walked downtown quite a few times to the many interesting shops. A few of us were obsessed with hunting for sea glass, which was in abundance 😊. We would definitely love to stay here again! Thanks Tim for having us 🙏

What a great place!

This house is absolutely beautiful! Beach views from so many windows - perfect for a restful/blustery day when we weren’t out exploring or sitting on the porch. Plenty of gathering spaces for our multi-generational family, as well as en-suite bathrooms (most bedrooms). Loved the location - easy 5 minute walk to the village & a small beach just across the street. Visiting Salem was a fun day for the kids. Seaport Grille in Gloucester deserves a mention for a tasty meal. Also made several short trips to the Dairy Maid for ice cream. We had a wonderful week… left reluctantly, but with very special memories of our time in Rockport.

Great time

We had 4 generations staying at this beautiful house. Plenty of space and location is perfect! Tim was great answering any questions we had and any issues that arose. The bedrooms on the second floor were great and the bedroom on the 3rd floor is good but no bathroom so be aware. The bedroom off the kitchen was cute but had a musty smell to it so we didn’t use that one but there were plenty of spaces to sleep. The location is PERFECT. So close to the beach and beautiful view from the porch. I definitely recommend it!

Thanks for the review, Maria. We are so happy you enjoyed the Beach & King. After reading your review, the cleaning crew, Tim and I went into the sun room to see what the problem could be. Although we could not find a musty smell, we deeply cleaned the room, per our deep clean routine, and changed out the air conditioner in case that was a problem. We hope you can join us again in the future! Cheers

Home Away From Home!

The Beach & King is the perfect vacation home for our four generation family. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated. The front porch is a lovely spot to enjoy sunrises, sunsets, and a spectacular ocean view. The beach and town are steps away! Rockport offers a variety of wonderful shops and restaurants. Gloucester and Salem, with activities for all ages, are only a short drive. Boston is accessible by train. Tim and Laurie, the hosts at the Beach & King, are the best! They are hospitable and accommodating to their guests! We tremendously enjoyed our week at the Beach & King and are looking forward to a return visit next summer!

Our only comment about the property was the description of the 3rd floor sleeping space. We were definitely surprised that it was so small and the steps to it were open. The 2 teenage girls would not consider staying there. We adjusted and everything worked out fine.

This utterly charming Beach& King property is one of the best I have ever experienced in many years of staying in rental spaces. For a group of 6 women (moms and daughters) it was perfect, with enough comfortable sleeping space and bathrooms for everyone to enjoy. The common areas were perfect -- there are multiple spaces for guests to lounge with coffee, do jigsaw puzzles, watch tv or take a nap. The front porch, which overlooks the beach, is another lovely place to enjoy conversation and people-watching. The house is a very close walking distance into Rockport for art and antique shopping, souvenirs and lots of eating choices. On one day, at our host's suggestion, we walked the short distance to the commuter rail station and rode the train into Salem and back, avoiding the infamous October traffic crowds and parking headaches. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and we made several meals with ease. Our host was incredibly gracious and very responsive. If I could give more stars, I would!

5 Star rental for Group gatherings

We had a wonderful week in Rockport at Beach & King. It was a family reunion for multi generations and this house couldn't have been a better location or setup. Tim was an attentive host and responded quickly to any requests and gave us a warm and comprehensive greeting when we arrived. Kids and grandparents could enjoy the walk along the shops and to the very close beach, and we could watch much of it from the beautiful windows of the home. We were lucky to get perfect weather in June and enjoyed many walks up the coast to the Halibut park, and through the quaint town. Make sure to catch a chamber concert (amazing theater overlooking the water) and make reservations at some of the restaurants early..they are in high demand. Thanks to Tim for a very memorable family experience.
