A great place for two couples looking to get away, filling their days with fun and beautiful places to visit and glad to be returning to this home away from home. Ready to relax, rest and prepare for the next day. This was a great place to stay!
Thank you for the kind review, Anthony! We’re glad Pigeon Hill was a great place to relax and recharge between days exploring. We appreciate you choosing to return and hope to host you again soon!
The property, the owner (super friendly and helpful), and the cleanliness were great. I believe the excessive fees going through AVH made it more expensive than it was worth. I would recommend, regardless. Just know.
Thank you for your kind review Leonard. We’re glad you enjoyed Pigeon Hill, found it clean, and appreciated the owner’s helpfulness. We understand your concerns about the fees, we ensure that it goes towards providing all our guests with the best rental experience possible. Appreciate you sharing your feedback and thank you for recommending the property!
Nice house, but pricey fees
by L. TollertonThe house was lovely and comfortable. The owners (who live on the other side of the house) were friendly and helpful. Just the nicest people. My only complaint is the high extra fees charged by AVH. It is because of this, and not the nice owners, that we won\'t rent from AVH again. The fees raised the total bill by hundreds.
Thank you for your kind words about the home and its wonderful owners. We’re glad you enjoyed a comfortable stay, and we’re sorry the additional fees affected your overall experience. Our fees apply to all our homes and help cover amenities, home maintenance and management, and 24/7 guest support, all to provide the best possible experience for our guests. We appreciate your feedback.
Positive: Location! Negative: Not enough wash clothes
Thank you for the 5 stars and for highlighting our great location, Pamela! We appreciate your note about the washcloths and will be sure to address it with our team for future stays. Hope to host you again!
The listing stated the whole house was being rented but was actually an apartment within the house. The house owners lived in the rest. Very nice people but was just unexpected. Kitchen could definitely use a few more utensils so don’t have to run dishwasher after every meal. House was comfy, beds were nice abd everything else was very nice
Thank you for the feedback Tim! We’re so glad you found the home comfy, enjoyed the nice beds, and had a great overall stay. We appreciate your note regarding the layout. We have already mentioned in the property description that this rental is part of a two-family home, we'll make that more visible as well. We’ve also passed your suggestion about adding extra kitchen utensils along to our team so guests don't have to run the dishwasher as frequently. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
Nice house and beautiful town, easy walk along the coastline to the beach and town restaurants. Interesting history about the granite quarries of Rockport.
Thank you so much for your kind review Tom, we're so glad you loved the property and the location. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back again!
This Airbnb was a gem! It was comfortable and clean with plenty of space for our family. The owner was super sweet and we will definitely come back if in town again!
Thank you so much for your kind review Kamala, we're so glad you loved the property, we're definitely hoping to welcome you and your family back again soon!
Wonderful!
by Robin DoneganGorgeous home with comfy beds, amazing primary bathroom shower, well stocked kitchen and gorgeous gardens! Walk to town in 20 minutes or head to the quarry for a refreshing dip! John and John were two of the nicest hosts ever and we felt like part of their family! The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the home does sit on Granite Rd - a fairly busy street. We would stay again and highly recommend this incredible restored home! Thanks again for the raspberries!
Thank you for the wonderful review Robin! We’re thrilled you loved the beds, shower, gardens, and fresh raspberries, and that you felt right at home with us. It was a true pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Pigeon Hill is a wonderful rental property! We had a great time over the 4th of July weekend. We’d highly recommend this rental. Thanks to ABH as well as John and Jane.
Thank you so much for your kind review Susan, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
Charming Stay in Rockport, Massachusetts
by EmeliaOur stay at this charming Airbnb in Rockport, Massachusetts, was delightful. The property has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The backyard and garden are lovely and well-kept, providing a perfect spot to unwind. The included grill is helpful, especially if you want to cook a nice steak or piece of fish. Inside, the home is very clean and spacious. The shower is comfortable, and overall, the amenities are satisfactory. The air conditioning works fantastically—we were there during a heat wave and had no problems staying cool. However, one point of feedback is that the king mattress in the main bedroom needs updating as it's a bit noisy. Additionally, the internet could use some TLC; it was a bit slow but worked the whole time. One of the highlights is the location. It’s a short five-minute walk or less to Granite Pier, offering beautiful vistas of Rockport Harbor and the ocean. The town is easily accessible with a 20-minute walk along scenic beaches and charming streets. A quick drive takes you to more points of interest, including Halibut State Park, a lovely old quarry with stunning ocean views and beautiful walking trails. The home also has charming little touches, such as thoughtfully chosen artwork on the walls and well-equipped kitchen utensils, making it feel even more welcoming. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners who live next door—a very nice, friendly couple. Overall, we had a great stay. This Airbnb is a lovely, clean, and convenient place to explore Rockport.
Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback. It's so great to hear that you had a good time at Pigeon Hill.
Beautiful And Clean!
by MichelleWe had a previously bad experience, with another rental company, located in Savannah, GA, one year ago. That place hadn’t been cleaned very well at all, before our arrival. So, we were very pleased to see that everything was clean when we got to Pigeon Hill! It was a nice bonus that the showers included optional hand held shower heads. The only real annoyance we had was the internet going out, while watching TV, in the evening. It happened 3 times, on different nights. One of the times was about 3/4 of the way through a movie. When it happened, we couldn’t reconnect to the internet. It was just not available. The next day, it would be back on. Over all, though, it was a good experience, and I would rent with Atlantic Vacation Homes, again in the future, if we are in the area.
Thank you for your review. We apologize for the internet issues; they were out of our control. We are glad that you otherwise enjoyed your stay.
Well planned apartment for comfortable stay. Furniture all in fine condition, kitchen well equipped, excellent AC units, lovely garden. Location,pigeon Cove is wonderful and one can walk to town. Owners are very nice and very helpful.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We look forward to your next stay with us.
Modern Historic Charm
by Michael V.A beautifully, newly renovated, historically charming apartment with many modern and surprising amenities. The owners are very helpful and the neighbors kind with a real sense of a caring community. it is close to many destinations, within minutes of most places at Cape Ann. This place I would highly recommend as one of my top choices.
Lovely and Peaceful
by DebraBeautiful place close to everything. Neighbors so kind. Could not have been better.
A beautiful home near downtown Rockport
by Mary T.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pigeon Hill. The house is a beautiful Victorian home, updated with all the modern amenities our family enjoys. It was perfectly clean and comfortable, and we especially enjoyed the coastal decor. Lots of little extra touches like a selection of nautical-themed prints by local artists and great books in the bedrooms for both kiddos and adults. It was an easy walk to the charming downtown area (great shopping!), local beaches, and the historic Atlantic Path. We had a great stay and look forward to returning!
Great apartment, great location
by Carol A.Lovely, comfortable, well equipped, clean, and wonderful hosts. Close to many areas for walking (Parker Pit, Atlantic Coast Trail, Granite Pier, downtown Rockport, surrounding neighborhood...). Looking forward to return visits.
Very Happy
by Ashley S.Couldn't be happier with the house and garden. Spotlessly clean, everything working perfectly (John an electrical engineer so not entirely surprising). Delightfully charming house and decor but with all modern amenities - very good air-con (it was a hot week), and very good showers etc. John and Jane a lovely couple who were super welcoming and John took us on a lovely walk through the woods. Would thoroughly recommend - ask John where the swimming hole is!
Beautiful stay near downtown Rockport
by Ann ChapmanWe really enjoyed our stay! The home was beautiful- it had recently been updated but still retained the charm of an older home. Our hosts Jane and John could not have been more welcoming!! They told us about local events and places to eat and things to do. They also had a beautiful garden in the back of the home and encouraged us to use some of the herbs from their garden! We also loved walking down to Downtown Rockport every morning. I was truly a little sad when it was time to go home.
Pigeon Hill
by JoAnne T.Pigeon Hill is a beautiful home in a great location - very clean and well equipped. Walking distance to beaches, Granite Pier, downtown and all Rockport has to offer. We will definitely vacation @ Pigeon Hill again. Atlantic Vacation Homes is a first-class operation.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We are looking forward to your next stay with us!
