Rockport, Massachusetts
Step away from your hectic life. Welcome to our homes by the sea. The scent of the ocean. The crack of a lobster claw. Stirring coffee as your eyes dance over to the sun rising over the old church steeple. New England life at its finest.
Maybe you’ll while the day away in the numerous quaint art galleries. Maybe you’ll sample the best fresh seafood on the eastern seaboard. Or simply spend the day staring at the ocean. We can’t think of a better way to spend a vacation.
Sure, we’re biased. Our family has had a home in Rockport for almost 400 years. Each of the three cottages were built by our ancestors who were local fishermen, and has been a base for our family throughout the seasons and years. Let us open our homes and welcome you to spend time in this little slice of perfection.
We love animals so warmly welcome your furry one and as the dog/people park is just down the lane, it is a short walk for your pet to enjoy a good run.

This is THE OPPORTUNITY to enjoy the history, charm, original art,outstanding seafood cuisine and down home vibe of the coastal region of Massachusetts Northshore. We stayed for 2 weeks, with our 2 small dogs. Cozy, safe, peaceful, dreamlike with a meadow, stone bridges and calm Atlantic cove beach next to the art village of Rockport. Cottage was affordable, small but enough for 2 with pet friendly accommodations. Everything you need and so much more. Owners care, and communicate well. A place we want to return to again! Thank you Louise and Karl.
I love the Sound House; its location, charm and cosy feeling. It is so well appointed and feels like a home away from home. The location is ideal for walking Rockport and going to Front Beach. I will always come back here when I can!
I spent 2 weeks at The Sound House and loved every minute! The cottage is clean and well appointed with anything you may need. The location next to Mill Park can’t be beat! We enjoyed many sunrise and sunset walks through the park and along the beach. When I arrived there was a lovely note welcoming me and goodies to get me started. Louise and Karl are excellent hosts! Highly recommend for anyone looking to spend some time in the quaint town of Rockport in this ideal location.
This was the perfect stay for my spouse and I with our pets! We were so close to the beach and the front patio was amazing! We grilled most nights and the kitchen was well stocked. Louise was awesome to work with and a very great communicator.
We loved our stay at their cottage. Enchanting, well equipped, quiet, lovely grounds and gardens and sea air. Perfect place for some real rest and relaxation.
This was our second stay at the lovely Sound House. While it is small, it is thoughtfully equipped and is very comfortable. It is pet friendly and is in an excellent location for walking a dog at the nearby park. The cottage was spotless, and Louise was easy to communicate with. We are already planning a return visit.
Very cute, well maintained, vert secure.
This cottage is quaint, cozy, and incredibly well located. It's a three minute walk to downtown Rockport's Front Beach and just seconds down the hill to the scenic (and historic) Mill Pond. The cottage itself is adorable inside and out. Be forewarned, though, that it is small, and the space works much better with the convertible bed closed. Louise is a wonderful host, and she keeps the cottage clean and well stocked with food items to give guests a start on their stay. I was very grateful to her for her flexibility around check in and very much enjoyed meeting her and Carl when I arrived. A final benefit is space for guest parking just down the hill - something you don't often find in Rockport.
The Sound House exceeded our expectations—clean, comfortable, and so very cute. Our host generously provided ample breakfast and snack items. Logs were laid in the fireplace which we lit and enjoyed one cool rainy day. We really felt that our hosts tried to anticipate any need that we may have and provide for it. In addition, we loved that the cottage was on a very quiet lane just steps from the Mill Pond Park—a great place to walk our dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks visit!
I don’t even know where to begin. Staying at the sound house was one of the best ever experiences. The cottage was immaculate, quaint, cozy and felt like home away from home ( didn’t want to leave). It was a great get away during these difficult times and I thank you so much for opening “The Sound House” so that I could see my grandchildren. Please please if one wants the New England experience consider “The Sound House” in Rockport! Louise will make the experience even better! She and her husband stocked the refrigerator with the much appreciated staples, wood to burn as it got chilly and accessible if needed. I cannot say enough about this most pleasant stay. Thank you again Denise
