Rockport, Massachusetts
Cottage on the Pond is tucked away from the summer crowds at the end of a picturesque lane with ocean views from the front porch, and views of the mill pond. We are conveniently located to all Rockport amenities – a two minute stroll to Front Beach; a one minute walk to the park and five minutes to famous Bearskin Neck alive with boutique shoppes, seafood restaurants and attractions for all ages. Some of our favorite moments here are sipping coffee while watching the sunrise from the privacy of our screened in porch, afternoons grilling outside in the backyard as the sun sets through the old oak trees, and cool rainy days by a cozy fire. With three bedrooms that sleep up to six people, the Cottage on the Pond is the perfect family destination.
We are pleased and excited to share with you that we have completed the renovation of an additional second bathroom with laundry and an updated kitchen expansion to our beloved Cottage on the Pond. At the same time we have remodeled the existing bathroom offering our guests more comfort and convenient but without giving up the charm of the old twenties style cottage. We now have a new washer and dryer. The porch has great views to the ocean and the backyard overlooking the mill pond will still be the gathering place for family and friends around the fire pit.
Our unique location offers up to eight parking spaces for all three cottages, working fireplaces, an abundance of linens and inclusive items that make for a seamless vacation all within a two minute walk to Front Beach. As always, your family pets are welcome at no extra charge.
The high season from mi-June through mid-September will remain a two week minimum stay or better. We are currently taking reservations for 2021 and 2022 for all three cottages – recharge your soul, rest, relax and rejuvenate. Life is good in Rockport and even better at “Cottage on the Pond”!
We had a wonderful and relaxing, fall getaway Stay at Louise’s cottage in Rockport. The amenities and attention to detail provided a romantic charm, view to the ocean and wood-burning fireplace made our stay even more special. Being so close to the train station provided a convenient transportation to Salem and Boston. We will return to Rockport and look forward to staying once again at this lovely home.
Charming cottage overlooking mill pond. Can walk to beach, sit in screened in porch and watch the sunrise, walk dogs in the park, walk to Bearskin Neck. Will be back!
We stayed for two weeks with our children and the location was perfect. There is a playground a short walk from the house and the kids loved being able to go there alone. The house is tucked in amongst trees and at the end of the road. So very private and quiet.
Based on prior reviews, we knew the cottage would be charming with fresh flowers and kitchen essentials but that would be an understatement. The kitchen was better stocked than my own kitchen with items such as parchment paper and heart shaped pancake molds. What the other reviews didn’t highlight was the delightful location. The pond provided hours of entertainment as family members fished, watched turtles and looked for bullfrogs. The ocean breeze kept the nights cool and the outdoor seating provided us with spots to read, talk and eat. Very close to the beach and to town. It was wonderful to be able to walk everywhere.
The cottage was so quaint and cozy, I loved it. It is a cemetery away from the beach, literally. It was peaceful, close to shops, dining all within walking distance. Karl and Louise were very nice and easily reached when I had a question. I felt very welcomed by them, she left a nice card to welcome us along with some welcoming goodies. The best touch were the fresh vases of cut flowers. I hope to come back, next time with my husband to relax and explore the beautiful area. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
This is a lovely little property in the center of Rockport.
Perfect New England Summer experience in this beautiful cottage. Modern and well appointed kitchen and baths. Great back yard. Short walk to the beach and historic center of the action in Rockport. 10/10!
This gorgeous cottage was delightful and had everything you could possibly need. The location was the best thing. The cottage is on a pond and adjoining park about 2 min walk to Front beach and 5 min from town. The additional parking was also super convenient. Just the perfect spot and host!
Loved the hospitality, cottage and location! We can't say enough about the hosts, and their beautiful, immaculate home. The cottage was so comfortable, quiet and relaxing. The location was superb (ample parking and just a walk....) to key areas of Rockport, while enjoying both the pond and the ocean at the same time. We also loved listening to the frogs in the evening hours from the screened in porch, what a treat! While the kitchen was fully stocked to cook with all its' amenities, and we were generously provided some essentials (thank you Louise!), we had some lovely dining in and around Rockport (My Place by the Sea = excellent), and in Gloucester, which is a short drive away (LOVED 1606 Restaurant and Oyster Bar at the Beauport Hotel)... we also had opportunities to buy some local art to add to our collection, and it was so fun to see and be around all the area had to offer. Thanks so much for a great stay and for making us feel welcomed, we'll be back for sure, oooh and the beautiful fresh flowers in and around the cottage made our stay extra special, these cannot go without a shout-out, the flowers were amazing and so very thoughtful. Thanks so much! Karen & Tommy
Louise made everything so easy and comfortable. It was like coming home.
