Twin Lights Coastal Cottage

I was above my expectations. I’m not kidding when I say everything was a 10/10! The home is quality everything from the small appliances to the towels. It’s like you’re staying in a 5 star one bedroom hotel suite and more! I cannot wait to stay there again. Take the trains! Easy and inexpensive!!!! Truly a very special place tucked away. Enjoy!

The location and views were beautiful. The cottage itself was updated and tastefully styled with charming coastal finishes. The host was extremely helpful throughout the process from checking in/out to suggestions for places to visit as well as places to dine. We would definitely consider a return trip.

Our stay was wonderful! The cottage was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. It was very comfortable and included all of the necessary amenities and more, in high style. The location provided a beautiful view of the ocean and was conveniently located to both Rockport and Gloucester. Area beaches were close by. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the area and thank the host for allowing us to stay at Twin Lights Coastal Cottage!

The cottage was well-appointed, very clean, quietly situated, and had what can only be described as a million-dollar view of the twin lighthouses on Thatcher Island. Check in and out were super easy and our host was dedicated to ensuring our stay was perfect. Do recommend to anyone wanting the quintessential Cape Ann experience.

I rented this property to put up a guest for a week in June. This jewel box of a cottage was exactly as described and illustrated on the site. I think what a web site cannot capture is all the thought and care that went into creating this home by the sea. Everything you would expect in a summer house is present. Chairs and an umbrella to sit under while you view the ocean, check. A charming garden in which to relax and enjoy the shade, check. An outdoor shower when you return from the beach, check. A comfortable bed and bath, a well outfitted kitchen and even a powder room for guests with laundry facilities. This cottage may be small but it lives like a much larger place because the space is laid out and furnished so well and every detail is considered. For example, two of the four dining chairs are on casters so can easily be rolled to other spaces.The host was very considerate and was sure to communicate with me well in advance of the stay. She even allowed an early check in because there was not a guest before us. I highly recommend this property for single person or a couple.

Thanks so much for the wonderful week at the cottage. We woke up every morning to view two beautiful lighthouses and to a great view of the Atlantic Ocean. Definitely want to return to the cottage.

Our family of five had a wonderful stay at Sue’s cozy and comfortable cottage. It was plenty of room for us with the pullout sofa in the living room. The location was perfect and so close to Rockport and many surrounding towns. We enjoyed the beach pass to Cape Hedge Beach and Long Beach. Also visited many beaches in nearby towns. Grocery stores were right down the road which made shopping for our meals easy. We loved eating our meals outside with the beautiful ocean view! Sue was so helpful and easy to contact. We appreciated her suggestions for places to walk to, drive to and eat. It was great not having to pack beach towels, coolers, umbrella or chairs as all were included at the cottage. Overall a great vacation!

The cottage was in a breath-taking setting with views of the Twin Lights and 3 of the most beautiful moons/moon rivers we'd ever seen. The 4 adults in our group - good friends - fit into the smallish cottage with ease. We all talked about wanting to live in houses that size when we got home! Everything that we needed - and more - was provided. We found great places to walk along the ocean, and found great enjoyment on rocks off a public path.

We have been repeat visitors to cottage 15 for a few years now. We are a family of four and the accommodations are perfect. Not only is the cottage all you need for vacation in a gorgeous location but also every amenity has been included - beach parking sticker, lobster pot, beach chairs, towels, cooler, grill, games and more. Susan couldn’t be a more conscientious and hospitable host. We are always sad to leave.

I’ve been coming to the same cottage for over a decade and for whatever reason it is I sleep better here than in my own bed at home and that may be because I’m completely relaxed with no outside distractions but whatever it is I wake up each morning refreshed . Neighbors in the other cottages are very friendly too.
