    A small, compact three room cottage with low ceiling beams --- at 5'7, I bumped my head only once going in to the bedroom. The double bed filled the entire corner of the tiny bedroom so the second person has to climb over the first sleeper in order to get out at night. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay in this cottage and the next door owners were very accommodating when we needed a tarp to cover our bicycles in the rain.

    Janet was very helpful as we didn't want to rent a car knowing Salem would be busy. She was able to give us great directions from the train to the cottage, and was very welcoming and personable. We had a wonderful stay and a great time in Salem, Rockport and Boston. The cottage is cozy and quaint - just know the doorways are a bit short, so ducking may be required...:)

    My stay was relaxing. The place is very small even for one person. The queen bed covers the entire bedroom and mattress needs updating in my opinion. The owner is right next door and watches everything. Parking is tight. I really wanted alone time it was hard with homes so close to each other. EXCELLENT SAFE LOCATION!!!!!

    Janet the owner was the the sweetest thing ever and consistently helpful with things like directions, recommendations, etc often before I even had to ask! The cottage has the tiny house feel and is perfectly located for all adventures to surrounding areas. We did Boston, Salem, Gloucester, Berlin, Rockport, Woodstock. Vermont, Concorde, New Hampshire, etc. and it made things super easy to accomplish a ton in 6 days. The town of Rockport itself is precious and I highly recommend Brothers Brew for breakfast, donuts, and coffee. George’s and Lobsta Land in Gloucester. The cottage was cute, clean well thought out and stocked with anything needed and we just adored our time there. Would love to be back soon! Thanks to Janet! You were amazing and such a sweetheart.

    It was perfect for our needs. Fridge, coffer maker, microwave etc. The bedroom was pretty small and we hit our heads the first 2 days. A “Watch your head” sign might be a good reminder to duck. Loved her gardens and outside table and chairs. We enjoyed our stay at the cozy cottage!

    I have stayed at this property before, so I was glad it was available for my latest solo trip. A nice half mile walk to all the dining and shops of Rockport, and a very short drive to Gloucester. The hosts are very nice people eager to make your stay enjoyable.

    I made a reservation for Sea Mist in Sept of 2023, we have been twice before. However your agent made the reservation at Cozy Cottage. I didn’t realize your error until it was too late. It cost me $512.00 extra to stay at the Sea Mist where I thought I had a reservation. I would like a refund

    The photos in the listing did not disclose physical aspects that made it prohibitive for us to stay there at our age and circumstances. So we were forced to find something else at the last moment. Had we known about these issues, we would not have rented. It is highly disappointing not to have some sort of compromise in terms of refund which the owner has refused unless rented by others within days of our intended stay - something highly unlikely.

    Great communication with very friendly owners. The cottage was perfect for just me and would have been good for a couple as well. It’s not overly fancy, but it has all the basics and it has a lot of New England charm. If you want a proper “summer stay in Rockport” vibe this is the perfect place. I grew up in the area and this place made me feel right at home.

    We so enjoyed four nights at this tiny cottage. The owner, Janet, was lovely and helpful. She enjoys gardening, so flowers were everywhere. It's a great location, perfect walking distance to two beaches (kayak/SUP friendly) and the town center. The only time we used our car was when we went to visit the surrounding towns and area. A truly enjoyable stay.

    We took the train from Boston to Rockport (approx. 80 minutes travel time/cost $2.40) and reached the cottage on foot in 10 minutes. We were warmly welcomed by Janet and Mike. They were also reliable contact persons during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cute little cottage was completely as advertised. We had everything we needed for our stay. We were also given helpful information about things to do and see in Rockport. The nights were very warm but the air conditioning worked well. The only thing that bothered us a bit were the plasticized pillowcases. Compared to the other offerings in Rockport, this one is good value for the money. But that doesn't mean it's cheap. Although we are Swiss and live in a high-price country, we found the accommodation prices in New England to be a little excessive.

    Clean, very small, had most everything. Futon in picture was deceiving, tiny, NOT a pull out. Also, no Keurig, as pictured, but does have a small coffee maker with the fixings, minus milk/cream. Closer to a small beach, than we thought. Was very quiet and quaint.
