    We were so happy we stayed at The Library! As soon as we walked in, we felt welcomed, comfortable - it was amazing! Definitely worth staying here. Our host, Rachel, was so helpful and friendly. Five Star all the way!

    This is a lovely place to stay when visiting Rockport. It is easily accessed, has great parking, and is near (many of them are just walking distance away) the local shops and restaurants. The unit was spotless, the kitchen has all you need to make a meal, and the accommodations are very comfortable. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place to relax and enjoy your stay in the area.

    Great location, easy parking and a 5-10 minute walk to Bearskin Neck, Front Beach, and pretty much anywhere in downtown Rockport that you want to go. Charming property and decor. Kitchen is great for breakfast/small meals. Thanks for the prompt response to some very minor requests during our stay. Would stay there again!

    Size and set up good for two people. Tough to regulate temperature. Rooms were dusty. Sheets do not fit the bed. Toaster is broken. Minimal pans for cooking. It was okay at best.

    We had a great stay here. Very convenient walking distance to the beach and shops. The unit is fully equipped with all the essentials. Clear instructions were provided. The host is very responsive. 2 parking spots provided which is very convenient. The space is just beautiful! If I have to give a constructive feedback I would say the towels need to be updated. They were very thin and just don't have much life in them. Overall, great experience and we will definitely come back.

    Spent a delightful 4 days in this lovely vacation spot. Thoughtfully and beautifully arranged, beds were wonderfully firm memory foam and super comfortable, had everything you needed ( but bring your own beach towels) Nice quiet location, just a few minutes walk to great little beaches, shopping and dining just around the corner in Bearskin Neck. Except for a 5 minute drive to a “big” grocery store, didn’t get in the car for days. Saw a fantastic performance at the very close Shaelin Liu center , 2 minutes walk. There was an issue with one of the utilities shortly after we arrived and the owner was very responsive, apologized, and had it fixed almost immediately. (Thanks Rachel!) Really loved this place, highly recommend. I am also a VRBO host for over 10 years, so my standards are pretty high!
