About this property

Walk to the ocean, very private. Secluded, woodsy location.

We are a cozy studio in a unique setting. There is a babbling brook that runs through the property to the ocean. This was a granite-quarrying site many years ago, and the property retains the remnants of a granite road used by ox carts to move granite blocks to the schooners. There is wild life on occasion, we recently had a great blue heron for several days. State park on the ocean is a 20 min walk.

Pleasant and private

My host was hospitable and helpful. The entire area, including the town, is pleasant and welcoming. The ocean is probably within walking distance for guests who are not encumbered by physical constraints. I really enjoyed the spots by the brook. The property has wonderful potential, and host seems committed to necessary upgrades to better accommodate colder temperatures. I would consider staying there again.

Cozy Stay

Beautiful, cozy stay near the ocean. Beautiful views a short walk away. Because of the weather we didn't get to use much of the outdoor space, but several nice chairs outside. Felt pretty private, separate entrance from rest of house. The grill was a nice touch, but nowhere to sit and eat inside (other than the bed) so we didn't get a chance to cook. Thanks for the lovely stay!

Magical retreat

I loved staying in this simple little efficiency. This part of Massachusetts is truly a hidden gem. Philip was very welcoming and gracious. The property was beautiful (I saw a bunny, chipmunks, a deer) and the space was comfortable. I highly recommend this place.

Peaceful Property

Phil, the host, met us when we arrived to make sure we found the place before it is more secluded. The property was gorgeous and peaceful. My husband and I sat outside each morning of our stay and drank our coffee together. Good location too. Downtown Rockport is a short drive. Hammond Castle and downtown Salem aren’t too far either.

A Gem in Gloucester

Phil was an amazing host! Met us when we arrived and showed us around his beautiful property. Having a grill and a firepit were amazing for us. Phil told us a bit of history of the property and surrounding area and even about a "secret" ocean spot! We were close to everything we wanted to see and more! Definitely a favorite for us! Thanks for everything Phil!!
