Rockport Vacation Rentals

Rockport, Massachusetts, sits at the very tip of Cape Ann, which juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. Taking its name from the area’s granite quarries, the shipping town has superb beaches nearby. Acclaimed artists Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, and Fitz Henry Lane are strongly connected to the area – stay in a vacation rental to enjoy the landscapes that inspired them.
