Cozy oceanfront home with unique architecture

We loved the location but the cottage needed a good cleaning .There was underwear in my bed when I went to get into it . Yuck And it could use new mattresses I loved the rustic feel however .

Went on a golf trip with a friend. Location was perfect & very relaxing. Safe neighborhood and beautiful view from the coast.

This place is not for the faint of heart, or those used to modern luxuries. However, it is also slightly magical. The reviews represent the place very well. On one hand, it has so many pros - a whimsical garden path, breathtaking ocean views with a delightful stream of water running past the yard, big enough place for 3 people to stay. The library is as great as the pictures.On the other hand, parking with 2 cars would be really hard, the turn in to the driveway is a little scary but not too bad. The house is really old, so it smells like it, the dishes and surfaces/corners are not sparkling clean as some might expect. The twin bed seems uncomfortable, the queen bed is fine.The first night I was here I wanted to check out early bc it felt too vintage, it was really cold, and a little scary by myself. But, VRBO was really helpful and brought over a space heater which made it better. And, the place, the view, the garden really grew on me such that I would consider going back!

But amazing location! It was an old house-filled with character. If you’re looking for that look no further. The water view was amazing and worth the money spent!

The cottage is in a beautiful quiet location. The parking and walk to the cottage was as described. The views were incredible! Definitely will return next year

There's no other residence in sight from this lovely, quiet, waterfront setting just a mile from town. The house is vintage in all ways (except for one minisplit), a delightful step back in time. This includes the very basic and cramped kitchen, which was fine with us. We still did plenty of cooking and happily washed our own dishes--again, an old-school vacation. I suspect the house would be pretty hot in a heat wave, as all rooms except the main living/dining room are cooled with fans only, but we had great weather. Problems. 1) The wifi wouldn't connect to the network despite our trying all the generic instructions provided and we did not want to spend any more time hassling with tech, so we did not reach out to Vacasa. Instead, we did without TV and relied on our phones for internet. (N.B.: the network name we were given was the password, and the password we were given was the network name, which we quickly figured out.) Also: the bed in the single room is rock hard and appears to be very old; the box spring has got to be mid-twentieth century, ripped fabric, exposed rusty springs, etc. Overall, except for uncomfortable sleeping in the single room and deciding to be content without TV, we greatly enjoyed our stay, including the terrific old library full of excellent books. I have to say that I didn't like not having the ability to communicate directly with the owner or local property manager. This is why I gave this category 1 star.

I’m still waiting for a response to several un

This get away is all about the location and view, which is absolutely stunning both during the day and on moon lit nights. The cottage is rustically charming and has simple but adequate amenities to meet all your needs. The property is just outside of Rockport center but feels a bit more remote though close to all this beautiful town has to offer. This was just the vacation we were hoping for.

There were mice nests in the bookshelves. A very oderifious musty smell coming from the crawl space under the cottage into it from a grate in living room covered by a rug. Green mold on wood paneling. Dead bugs in blankets. Spiders in corners. Lawn was very overgrown. Mold on the books. Find anywhere else but here.

Cozy and charming. The library was such a beautiful peaceful room. The driveway is extremely tight. And the walk to the cottage was pretty steep when trying to carry luggage.
