We had a wonderful stay in this charming cottage. Although small, it had all the amenities we needed to cook dinner, enjoy beautiful views, and also walk along beautiful shoreline. It's also in a great location, an easy walk into Rockport. Nancy was a great host, and can't say enough good things about our stay.
Nancy was just wonderful! From the first communication prior to check-in, and throughout the stay. She made us (me and the pooch) welcome and feel at home. The cottage was cozy and comfortable. Felt like I stepped back in time. The property and location are just beautiful. So many places to take a walk in either direction. Close to town and to beaches. Inviting Adirondack chairs just outside the cottage that I spend the most time in, just reading and watching the sunset. I was hoping to come back in August, but it's all booked up:( Plan to come back next year. For a longer length of time. Family and pooch friendly . The residents in neighboring properties are all very nice as well. Just a nice relaxing chill get-a-way. Highly recommend it!
Fabulous experience. Planning to return next year.
Cottage is in a great location for walking and relaxing with incredible scenery. The view of the ocean from the cottage was impressive.
Great location with water views and easy access to town for restaurants, shopping, sight-seeing, etc. Wonderful area for walking and exploring the area.
Beautiful breath taking location! Well worth it.
This cozy cottage was a perfect place for rest, enjoying beaches and walks and time at the shore in Rockport / Gloucester. Nancy's a responsive and helpful host. The location / neighborhood is lovely and an easy scenic walk to downtown or a short drive to antique stores, neighboring towns, beaches or hiking. Definitely recommended and a repeat for us!
Prior to arrival, Nancy informed us that our house would be unavailable due to an unforeseen problem. She offered us an upgraded rental next door which proved to be very comfortable- two bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The ocean view from the rental was suburb and nearby restaurants. etc. were easily accessible via a walking path along the ocean front.
Wonderful spot across from the ocean. This quaint 2-bedroom cottage is on a quiet street a 5-minute drive from downtown, but quiet and removed from the tourist scene. Beautiful coastal path just up the street, but beautiful strolls in all directions. The front lawn is the perfect place for reading or napping. One of the very few places with ocean views that allows well-behaved dogs. Our pup gives it 5 stars also! Nancy was the perfect host!
Lovely little cottage. Simple and sweet. We were cozy as could be.
