Luxury Home in the Heart of Rockport

This was a beautiful house.

We loved EVERYTHING about this house and the location!

We loved staying at this home. The location was PERFECT, walking distance to the beach and town but still on a quiet street. Had all the amenities we needed for our group of ten. Will definitely be coming back!

This was the second time we rented the cottage from Gretchen and Gary. The house is very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The owners are fantastic, very friendly and responsive. Gary responded within minutes when I contacted them about watching the Red Sox game. Everything about this cottage is perfect from location to Front Beach, Bearskin Neck and train station. .

Lovely home and host.We will return!

For my family, we could not have asked for a more perfect location for our (2025) stay in Rockport. It is tucked away on a quiet side street but an easy and pleasant walk to the beach and the main part of town. We enjoyed morning walks to get coffee and evening walks to ice cream often taking a short cut through the near by park. Having morning coffee on the patio or lying in the hammock amongst the shade of tall trees was idyllic. We made a day trip to Boston (1 h 20 min to North Station) by walking just a little over a block to the rail station. The main part of the house is historic (not sure how old) but very nicely and newly renovated. For us, some of the peculiarities of the house, such as the quirky skinny stairs, and slightly uneven wide planked wood floors was all pure New England charm. The kitchen and dining area are part of a newer addition to the home that is quality built and modern. Amenities such as quality cotton sheets and towels, beach chairs with umbrella and cart, having soap for the dishwasher and clothes washer were much appreciated.(Thank you Gretchen!) Gretchen is wonderful to interact with. We did not have any problems during our stay but she met us when we arrived and was responsive to communications and questions having many great suggestions. We will definitely be looking at this house again for our next trip to Rockport.

We had an incredible week at this property! Our family spends the week of the fourth every year on the north shore. Staying in rockport was a perfect location for us. We enjoyed walking to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The house itself was clean and comfortable, and had every amenity we could need. Each room was beautifully decorated and we all slept soundly. I would highly recommend this spot!!

Gretchen is the best host and her house is Absolutely beautiful ! And you can’t beat the location! This was my fourth time staying there and we will definitely be back next year.

We just enjoyed the best vacation rental ever! (And I'm particular!)The home was even better than depicted online. Extremely clean and updated yet it retained the history and character of a 19th century home which transported us fully into vacation mode. We loved the quiet neighborhood that was only a quick walk to the ocean, dinning, shops, an adorable park and every other convenience we needed during the week. The house is only a short drive to Good Harbor beach and the highway to get to other communities, but we felt very peaceful and snug in our wooded glen.Spend some time relaxing in the shady garden and admiring the colors of sunset from the awesome master suite on the third floor.The owner was responsive and very friendly. 10/10

Cottage is in a great location, quiet street with lots of privacy and short walk to Front Beach and Bearskin Neck. Yard is perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. House is well equipped, beds comfortable. Owner was friendly and responsive. Definitely staying there again!

Very nice stay. The house had everything we could have wanted and our host was friendly and responsive.

Well stocked house in a great location Beautiful master suite Nice private area for our group of 10 Owners very helpful and responsive to our needs Highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay for a long weekend in Rockport. The central location of the house made it easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go!!

We loved our stay at Gretchen's house in Rockport. Every need was accounted for, and we immediately felt at home. Walkable to small beaches and Rockport Center, and just a 10-minute drive from one of the best beaches in the northeast at Good Harbor. Can't wait to book here again!

We loved this home. The location was in a quiet neighborhood that was walking distance to everything. The beach, shopping, and dining. We enjoyed the outdoor areas of the home to relax too. We would absolutely stay here again.
