This is a property advertised as 5 minutes from the town. That is by car. However, a person can walk several blocks and be on the very enjoyable "harbor walk" right to the center of town (and beyond, I suspect). The house was spotless and well equipped for all needs, including a gas barbecue and a very enjoyable and spacious deck. The hosts left us some treats to get started (I am still looking for Red Stripe beer!). All in all, this property was key to our very enjoyable vacation. I highly recommend.

Stay at Grasslands

The house is immaculate. Grounds are beautifully landscaped and maintained. Easy walking distance to downtown, harbour and all amenities. There are stairs, which we are used to, but I mention it as some may have mobility issues. The house is 19th century, and it’s bones reflect this. It has been updated with modern touches, without destroying its essential character.

Rockland

Property was vey nice. Bathroom upstairs should be updated to include a shower especially for large groups. Bathrooms smelled if windows did not remain open. Trees coming into property need to be cut back given it was extremely hard to safely exit the property to the left given you could not see oncoming traffic. However, in all it was very a enjoyable vacation.

Great location but busy street noise

Although the location of this home was ideal to downtown, wharf, and restaurants, it’s in a very busy street which is noticeable when in the home. We tried to sleep with the windows open but the traffic was too loud so we had to resort to putting on the AC which was not ideal. The large trees that shield the front of the house also don’t allow light in the front of the house causing it to be dark and uninviting. I think the owners should be upfront in the description of the home. With that said, the home was comfortable and the few requests that we had during our stay were responded to quickly. Great places to bike and walk to restaurants, downtown, wharf and museums.

A Special Retreat in Rockland

We enjoyed staying in this home - updated and decorated lovely, fairly close to downtown Rockland, and a great place to stage our adventures in the area. Extremely clean and thoughtfully stocked - it's a great getaway with a beautiful deck for some chilling out time. The owners were very responsive to our needs. While they weren't an issue for us, the stairs to the second floor are steep and could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues. Also, while we were there, the Wifi signal was next to nothing, so if you truly need a strong signal for work purposes (I know, you're supposed to be on vacation) - make sure you won't be disappointed with this. Otherwise, it's a special little home and a wonderful place to enjoy all that Rockland has to offer. Thanks, Jimmy & Xiao!
