Great place to stay! The property is clean and tidy and has everything you'd need for a stay in Rockport. We walked into town every day to enjoy the food, art, and shopping, and it's a quick 5 minute drive to the Gloucester beaches. Would definitely recommend.
This was a lovely little home in a quiet neighborhood. Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and the ocean. Everything was clean and well appointed.
Everything was as told to us before arriving. The place is cozy, clean, well-equipped, warm and dry. Parking seemed tight, but we had no problem in the end. My only concern was that because we did not know the exact location ahead of time, we allowed ourselves to believe that there was a water view. There isn't, but the best of Rockport and the sea are both a short stroll.
I loved this cottage by the shore, it is exactly the getaway I needed. It’s so close to shops & restaurants, and I easily walked to two different beaches (one a little more private just 5 down the road). The cottage had everything I needed, including easy parking. I can’t wait to come back!
Cozy and very clean cottage that is walkable to galleries and restaurants. This was a short trip to Rockport-3 nights. I have not been there in over 10 years. Owner is quick to communicate with information and check-in. Cottage is as picture and was very clean.
Nous avons passé pas une mais deux belles semaines dans ce charmant cottage où tout respire le calme. Tout comme sa petite rue d’ailleurs et le voisinage qui invitent à la marche à la découverte de belles maisons entourées de jardins. Nous avons décidé de prolonger notre séjour initial pour profiter encore plus et nous reposer. Le cottage est bien décoré dans l’esprit bord de mer, propre, tout est ou semble neuf. Il est bien équipé pour cuisiner et aussi bien placé si on choisit d’aller au restaurant. Nous le recommandons, mais pas trop, de peur qu’il ne soit jamais disponible 😉 car nous souhaitons y retourner… merci à Rachael, très gentille.
