Relax and breathe the salt air in this charming waterfront cottage. It is on well-known Bearskin Neck with a large deck and a big yard right on the water. While the shops, galleries, restaurants, and harbor are just a two-minute walk, the cottage is very private and quiet. 'Saltair is fully furnished with one bedroom (two twin beds), a complete kitchen and a sunset across the water. It is filled with charm, history and antiques. There is parking on the property. The library and renowned Shalin Liu Theater are a five minute walk. It is a 7-10 minute walk to three beaches. The Commuter Rail and grocery story are a 15-minute walk. Every place you walk, bike or drive is bursting with natural beauty and quaintness. NOTE: the living room and bathroom floors in this funky cottage slant, so bring your sea legs :)

    Carol was a great host. Everything we needed was in the cottage and the location is perfect. The historical items and books in the cottage added to the ambiance and experience. I highly recommend the whale watching trip and plan on at least a day to explore bearskin neck. The twin beds are thin and there's plywood between the mattress and box spring. It was like getting onto a stone slab, BUT, I slept well and was not sore in the morning so then there's that! There's room for an air mattress or two if needed. I highly recommend.

    Location,location,location! This charming antique cottage overlooks the water. The cottage is on Bear Skin Neck. The shops, restaurants, art museum,etc are all within walking distance. I enjoyed sitting on the beautiful deck reading my book. The cottage was very clean and had everything I could want. I would highly recommend this property. I would stay at Saltair again if I go back to Rockport.

    Saltair has every convenience you might want. It's in a peaceful spot, with a view of the bay. Yet, just around the corner are Bearskin Neck's shops and restaurants. Beaches and a beautiful park are in easy walking distance.

    Adorable little cottage right on the water, no better place to relax - unwind and stroll Rockport, our car barely ever moved. Wake up each day to a view of the water and let your self unwind, couldn’t have been better. Owners have been terrific in setting up our stay, highly recommended!

    Ideally located for a walking vacation, and yet far enough off the main drag to be quiet and private. An utterly adorable place that just took us both back in time to childhood (60’s couple here), Saltair is awash in character and quirks, we couldn’t have enjoyed it more and hope to be back soon ! Had everything we needed and more while letting us unwind and relax.

    Quaint, historic cottage with water view from deck or breakfast table. Owner and neighbors very friendly and helpful. Very close to shops and classic views of the harbor, bay, and ocean. We loved our stay and are already looking forward to returning.

    My mother and I had a wonderful stay at Saltair. The views from the porch are outstanding. Its a great place to start & end your day. The house is quirky but i like the charm of an older home. It is neat, clean, and is equipped with everything you need for your stay. The hosts are very nice and respond promptly to any questions/concerns you have. The neighbors are are all very friendly. There are two off-street parking spots which are fantastic for that location. The location is fantastic. Its a short walk to restaurants, shops, the beach, theater, etc. I would recommend this home to any friends and family.

    Celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, this quirky cabin by the shore placed us in the perfect spot. The view is spectacular, the house is well appointed, well loved, and it's history is well preserved. The floor slants, but as long as you're sure-footed, it doesn't cause any unnecessary hardship, it just adds to the ambiance. Having everything we wanted within short walking distance made this trip an easy success. We loved every minute of our time here and will return soon!
