“The Nest” was a beautiful home that easily accommodated our family. There were plenty of games and puzzles that our children enjoyed, and a wide variety of books! We also had the joy of seeing turkeys and deer in the backyard each morning. We had a lovely stay there, and we highly recommend it!

I cannot recommend this rental enough! The attention to detail by the host was 10/10. The low key location allowed for a relaxing low key stay. We were within 5-15 minutes of all the necessary restaurants and super markets, beaches, and Rockport center. The cuteness of the cottage goes without saying and the owner made sure to provide with all the necessities for single people, couples, or a full family stay. Hopefully, we can return with our grandchild who had a blast with all the games in the sweet hidden playroom!

The Nest was perfect for our 7 member family. The property is beautiful, clean, very well decorated and provided everything we needed in a really well organized way. The home is 5 minutes from the beach in a nice neighborhood. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here and highly recommend it.

Fall trip to Salem / Rockport

We had a great time at this property! We cooked in a few nights and found everything we needed in a well stocked kitchen. The whole process from checkin to checkout was very simple, and the owners were quick to respond. Internet was fast, showers had great water pressure, and all in all this was a great find for our trip. We will definitely look this property up again if we are coming back to the Rockport area!

Quiet Getaway

This place is great and had everything we needed and then some! Great location for exploring the east coast. Beautiful views as you drive from town to town. Close to train which will take you all the way into Boston so you don’t need to worry about driving and parking. Very peaceful backyard with grill and fire pit. We will definitely be returning!

A quiet Cape Ann oasis with the comforts of home

In summary, if you are looking for a place that gives you a chance to relax with every comfort of home (or more?) just minutes from beaches, shopping, dining, and immersed in a restorative ocean-based setting - this *is* the place for you. I can't wait to go back again. <3

Family retreat

We visited with our adult children and partners and this house was perfect for our needs. Both in terms of overall space including a great deck, as well as offering so many amenities. Everything we wished for was there. We found every gadget, every pan, every game or book that we were looking for. It was amazing and we all had a really good time.
