Idyllic for a couple or solo travelers who appreciate living by the sea.Our historical, 19th-century comfortable waterfront house is located in the heart of Rockport directly on Rockport's peaceful Old Harbor. Exposed beams and hardwood floors throughout with incredible panoramic views of Sandy Bay and Rockports tranquil Old Harbour. The living room, dining room and deck all face the water. You are as close as you can get to the sea. This historical property was the old customs house at the turn of the century. Ships stopped at the wharf across the bay to clear customs here. Original beams and floors are lovingly maintained.
Savour spectacular sunsets and ocean breezes from our 2nd floor home. One queen bedroom, full bath, well equipped kitchen complete this idyllic pied a terre. Rockport galleries, shops, and restaurants, are all within walking distance in the heart of Rockport's bustling Cultural District. Enjoy your coffee on our harbor front perch.View the panorama of seaside comings and goings, the quaint buildings on Bearskin Neck and Motif #1 along with the boating activities of Rockports Old Harbor. You can launch your kayak from our seaside property. Across the bay, hear the music of the Sunday summer evening's concerts .We are just a minute walk from Rockport’s stunning Shalin Liu Performance Center and The Rockport Art Assn.
The commuter train to Boston is a 10 minute walk. Back and Front beach are only a short walk from our home.
Logan airport is an hour away.
If you are looking for a refreshing dose of Vitamin SEA directly on the harbor we look forward to sharing our artful pied a terre.

    Beautiful little getaway! Sits above a cafe in the village. The smell of fresh baked goods woke me. I thought I was a kid and my mom was in the kitchen. Convenient to all the little shops and restaurants. We loved being there and will return. Thank you!

    Perfect spot in Rockport - we loved our stay! The host was friendly and responsive, and the location couldn’t be better. It's in walking distance to shops and restaurants, and right above a great coffee shop. The place was perfect for two, with a beautiful harbor view and the sound of waves as the tide came in. We’d definitely stay again!

    Beautiful view, quiet apartment in the heart of Bear Skin Neck, which is a charming part of Rockport. Loved the coffee place just downstairs, cute shops all around. But the view, the view is amazing.

    My group had an amazing time staying at Peggy’s place in Rockport. The location is ideal and felt extremely comfortable and cozy. I would definitely book again, and I’m so happy I found this gem of a spot.

    An extremely quaint, comfortable, clean place with a wonderful view. Right in the center of such a wonderful little town. Although the parking situation is rough, a neighbor was kind enough to explain about leaving the car at the T station and I used Gloucester Taxi to get around. It worked out great! It was an extremely pleasant stay with a great host!

    This is an absolutely beautiful, charming, and spacious apartment in an outstanding location - right in Bearskin Neck with views of the harbor. Light sleepers will want earplugs for when the cafe comes to life early in the morning, but everything else was terrific!

    We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment on Bearskin Neck. It’s right on the water and was nice to sit on the porch at night—we were able to see the stars despite the lights at neighboring buildings. The apartment itself was well decorated, comfortable, and clean. I should note that you definitely hear the business downstairs while it’s open but this didn’t bother us. We were out seeing the sites during the day anyway. It’s surprising how quiet it gets after the nearby businesses close.

    We are so grateful to have stumbled upon Peggy and John’s amazing place. It was perfect for the 2 of us. The views are spectacular! The apt was loaded with every thing you could possibly need. There was a cute, little coffee shop right below us that served us our fave brew bright and early. Walk to a cute town beach. Every thing is walkable and we parked our car 2 minutes away. We can’t wait to return.

    Right in the center of things. Very close to the water. Believe the other reviews that it is very noisy due to its location over a coffee house, although that didn't bother us.

    Cozy apartment. Nothing left to want or need. Perfect for two. Kitchen set up well for eating in and preparing meals; but with so many wonderful restaurants in walking distance, you have options. Lovely views in a prime location. Quick walk to the Shalin Liu Performance Center. Thanks, Peggy. Looking forward to our next stay.

    Exactly as described if not even better. A perfect spot on Bearskin Neck. Active and fun by day, quiet by night. Amazing viewing of fireworks from the deck. Hosts made the entire process a dream of simplicity!!

    We came to Rockport for a long weekend. The place was very comfortable with an amazing view of the harbor and a perfect location. Note that it is over a cafe as mentioned in other reviews (early 6am wake-up) which didn’t bother us much. We enjoyed the close access to the cafe for breakfast and snacks.

    The rental is a loft (not an apartment) reached via 3 flights of a rickety, outdoor staircase. Music, conversation, and coffee making sounds from the cafe directly below fill the living space from 7a.m. to 7 p.m. Tourists congregate at the bottom of the stairs day and night, and long lines form to an ice cream store adjacent to the staircase. The street is crowded and noisy. We rented for 2 weeks, stayed for only one (not reimbursed). Perhaps this location would appeal to teenagers.
