About this property
In-town, coastal + relaxing in Rockland
Newly renovated 1860s Cape. Only a block away from a beach and picnic area. Follow the boardwalk to Rockland Farmer's Market, restaurants, theater, museums, galleries, shops, and festivities. Walkable yet conveniently away from in-town noise and traffic.
Traditional structure, contemporary decor, spacious kitchen with modern baths. Simple, clean, and restful with plenty of natural light. Thoughtfully edited and ready to be your home away from home. Everything you need and nothing more.

• Drink coffee by the beach, sit on the boulders, smell the sea, and listen to the ospreys
• Enjoy the bustling harbor, and identify the schooners, ferries, and nearby islands
