Rockport Home with Beautiful Ocean Views

We love old homes and all their quirks, so be ready for that. The decks overlooking the Rockport bay were lovely, and being able to walk on the sidewalk to Bearskin Neck and the beaches and park was terrific. To be clear this place is not luxurious. While it is well stocked with a new coffee maker, bean grinder, air fryer, and coffee and spices and cookware, the stove and dishwasher are on their last leg and some of the bathroom hardware needs replacement. But the bottom line is it is a great value for the price and we loved it.

We read the description and the reviews so there were no surprises at the house. The views from the deck were well enjoyed at all times of the day and evening. The location of the home was perfect for us and we appreciated the easy and quick response from the Micheal.

This is a wonderful space for any type of retreat. The home has a wonderful back deck, it’s close enough to tourism outings without being noisy because of them. Parking is a tad difficult if you have multiple large vehicles. I do suggest bringing your own toilet paper as it was quite thin. It really was a wonderful trip!

We just stayed there for 7 days. It rained and was overcast part of the week. Only the bedrooms are air conditioned so it was foggy and very humid in the living areas. Most windows facing the street don’t open at all, the ones that do are propped open with a stick. We had children in our family who struggled with the latch openings on doors. The first day there I complained half the kitchen lights didn’t work and there were no lights inside the refrigerator . Although he promised me several times it would be fixed the next day, it was never done. The owner did replace the grill when I reported it was too rusty to use. Beware of the dishwasher door that fell open and landed on my daughter’s knee. Only one toilet brush for 3 bathrooms used by 10 people. The East facing windows have white curtains and light pours in at 5am. No shades to darken the bedrooms

Great visit and location

This was a perfect house for our stay and searching our genealogy roots in the North Shore. Beautiful views. Near many wonderful restaurants and shops. It is an older house so a little quirky and fewer bathrooms than people nowadays are used to. But a fun experience. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of linens. Plenty of hot water and water pressure. A well stocked kitchen. The owner was very communicative. Would recommend and stay there again!

The house is situated in a cozy little spot that allows you to walk through the back yard to an old boat dock and rocky Beach area. We fished a bit there and caught a few small fish. The town of Rockport is close and is wonderful! The sunrise from all stories is spectacular! Very well stocked house with linens, blankets, toilet paper, soap, clorox wipes, etc. The quirks: stairs to the 2nd floor are fairly steep, one of the bedrooms on the 2nd floor can't be accessed without going through the other bedroom, 3rd floor is completely open...even the bathroom. The house leans, so a few people in my group complained of back issues while standing in the kitchen. I loved it though, the host was so helpful and responsive and made the booking process so simple. I'd love to come back!

We loved this place! It was so close to the ocean and the views were amazing. It was perfect for my 40th birthday trip to Salem. It was a fairly easy walk to the train station and Whistlestop Market.

All good. Owner very responsive to questions

Walking distance to town. Enjoyed the decks and kitchen window seat with view of water. Lots of bedroom space. Main bedroom with king bed is on third floor with private deck and views. Great reading nook! Would stay again. Recommend a sound machine if road noise early in morning would bother you. It sits right on the road. Would stay again!
