Overview
2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, Dining Area, Full Kitchen, Harbor Deck (Sleeps 4)
This custom-furnished, luxury apartment provides all the amenities that one may need to enjoy time at Rockport's most popular destination, Bearskin Neck.
The Mariner, located at 35 Bearskin Neck, offers: two bedrooms - the Bearskin Neck-side bedroom has a queen-sized bed and the Harbor-side bedroom has a king-sized bed; a full bath; a kitchen fully-stocked with everything one may need to prepare and enjoy meals; a dining area; a living room with flat-screen, cable TV; and deck with table and seating overlooking Rockport Harbor.
Art galleries, shoppes, and eateries are steps outside the front entrance, and Bradley Wharf, Rockport Harbor, and Motif #1 greet you at the rear entrance.
Lobsters are unloaded daily on Bradley Wharf, prepared next door at the Roy Moore Lobster Company, and enjoyed by many on their back deck 'in the rough'.
Parking is notoriously difficult on Bearskin Neck. However, we have a reserved parking spot across from Front Beach, an approximate 10 minute, pleasant walk along Main Street. We recommend dropping off luggage at the Bradley Wharf entrance to the apartment upon arrival, parking in the reserved spot, and walking back to the apartment.

SLAM DUNK....AGAIN
This was our second consecutive stay at the Mariner. That alone should be telling. The place is great. Location unbeatable. Views unforgettable. Justin as a host incomparable. Spotless unit. Very comfortable and updated. Stacking washer dryer. Bed in back bedroom pictured here very comfortable King. Offsite parking at the Peg Leg Motel about a quarter mile away included. The central AC was out during our stay and Justin installed two window box units for our comfort which worked perfectly. He reduced our rate for the inconvenience but we did not oblige as he was swift in rectifying the deficit. Also tells you something. I would give The Mariner a 97% which is overall my best rating. It would be 100% if he allowed crated dogs as Rockport is a very dog friendly little town. His unit, his rules and I gotta respect that! Stay here as long as you don't take our week! You would be hard pressed to find a better place.
Great location!
This apartment is right in the center of where you want to be in Rockport. You are located near all the shops and restaurants so no need to get in your car and contend with traffic. The unit has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. We look forward to a future trip to this great location!
Exceptional Stay
From the very moment we booked, our host Justin, couldn't have been more wonderful and accommodating. The Mariner is a hidden gem, in the heart of Rockport's Bearskin Neck. It was very clean with all the amenities including a good supply of linens, various necessities and a great selection of board games -- for those competitive families! Our family, who have not been together in years, relished the Mariner's location, sampling the local cuisine and walking through the quaint township. While small, the patio was a nice place for an evening drink and great view of the harbor. We recommend breakfast at the Red Skiff (you won't be disappointed). Everything about our stay at the Mariner was relaxing and fun. On a side note, we traveled a little further north to Maine during this trip and stayed at an Inn. The family all agreed - we should have just stayed longer at the Mariner. Thanks Justin.
Fantastic property and location!
This was our 2nd visit to this property and we were just as impressed as the 1st visit. Justin is very welcoming and accommodating. The apartment was very comfortable and immaculate upon arrival. The Mariner is in the perfect location to experience Rockport with beautiful views! We are looking forward to another stay at this special property.
Amazing views and location
This was an amazing property and the location was more than expected! Had such a great time. The weather was bad, but we loved it! The view of Motif #1 in the snow was perfect. The town is perfect. The Mariner was perfect. The owner was perfect. If you get a chance, stay here!
Fantastic
Great stay all around! Can't wait to come back again.
