The property was super cute and clean, a well maintained property and a kitchen with everything we needed. It was great to have the deck with a Water-view and the hosts gave us some great recommendations on where to eat. Rockport is a sweet little town with Gloucester close by to explore.

Kitchen was fully stocked. The cozy cottage was super cute. Perfect for my husband and I. We wanted for nothing. Our hosts were very friendly and made us feel at home. Would stay here again when in the area. One of my favorite rentals on VRBO.

Beautiful studio in the heart of Rockport. Well appointed space had everything needed for a 4 night stay. Linens, pillows and blankets were luxury quality and very comfortable. Hosts were available and friendly in the home next door. Large ocean view deck was the perfect place to have a cup of coffee each morning. Parking for a single car made a Rockport visit easy. Clean and comfortable!

Mr.&Mrs. Levesque thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable!Easy check in and checkout. The property and dwelling are very well maintained, clean and very relaxing. You can walk downtown to Rockport for meals and or the views, then come back to relax on the deck. Very walkable downtown. Dog lovers(everyone) will love their dog “Macaroon”. Him and his owners are pleasant and kind. The visits from all were welcomed. Our stop over for two days was stellar!Would highly recommend and definitely 5 stars on every category. Thank you. -The Baileys

A gem on the New England coast

This is a fantastic cottage close to the center of Rockport. The accommodations were excellent and the hosts could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Our only regret was that the trip was so short. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and would recommend it to everyone

Cozy Winter Weekend

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day long weekend. Accomodations were beyond perfect, parlor stove is a welcome cozy treat for a winter evening. Rockport has plenty to offer visitors in the winter, although the studio is so comfortable its just as nice to lounge around. Special thank you too the hosts for making us feel so welcome and comfortable.

Long Weekend on Cape Ann

Visiting the area for a family celebration and enjoyed staying in this adorable cottage. Views were spectacular and the amenities were plentiful. The Murphy bed was very comfortable. While our visit was short, this property is fully stocked for a longer stay. The property owners were very attentive, making sure all of our needs were met. Definitely recommend for any length of stay.

Restful and relaxing

We were there in part for our wedding anniversary but mostly, we needed a vacation. The owners are lovely people. While we were there, we were able to sleep in when we wanted. It also was conveniently located so we could explore Cape Ann, visit Plumb Island and other towns in between. There were also a great variety of restaurants to choose from. Thanks Sally & Frank!

Home away from home 3

I can't express how wonderful everything about this trip was. From walking in and being greeted by Sally (and Macaroon!) like an old friend, to how comfy and cozy (and wonderfully stocked!) the place is, to all the attractions that are close by (Halibut Point State Park, downtown rockport, gloucester, etc.), this is an excellent choice to feel like you're home away from home. Thank you so much, Sally and Frank 3

Bliss by the Ocean

Sally May, Frank and their puppy Macaroon are wonderful hosts! They really make your stay top notch. The recommendations on restaurants was fantastic, the studio was extremely clean and well stocked. They really anticipated their guests needs. Location is the perfect spot, right near Rockport and a short drive into Gloucester. Opening the curtains to a beautiful sunrise really makes the stay very serene!

Perfect for me over the holidays. Hey, Rockport is great in the winter and this place made it more so. Great place and owners who added some lovely holiday touches. Sally was very helpful and went out of her way to quickly send me shoes which I left at the rental. 5 stars for cozy, charmingly decorated space, great location easy walk to Rockport Center and Halibut State Park , and kind and considerate owners.
