About this property

This 4 bedroom plus loft, 2 full bathroom cottage is only a few feet from the beautiful and sandy Long Beach in Rockport, MA. This cottage is one of the nicest cottages available to rent on Long Beach. You have ocean views and can hear the waves from almost every room so you are that close to the beach! You can enjoy one of the best beaches in New England without the hassle of driving, lugging beach chairs, and coolers from hot parking lots. Memories will be made throughout your stay that will last a lifetime.
When you are not basking in the sun, you can walk miles across 4 local beaches, right from your door step; take a bike ride through beautiful neighborhoods; or visit famous and scenic Gloucester seaport and Rockport's Bear Skin Neck. On rainy days you can visit historic landmarks, local movie theaters or go to one of 3 malls within 10 miles. Autumn is especially nice, as there are many local farms and scenic drives.

About the host
Hosted by Mark and Joanne Pollard
My husband grew up on Long Beach and I fell in love with it when we were dating. Our family has another home on the beach and we (with our 3 children) like to spend as much time as we can there each summer. We bought this house from another Long Beach family who has rented and enjoyed it for years as well. This beach is coveted and a well kept secret outside of the North Shore of Massachusetts. You'll notice that we would not rent a property unless we were comfortable staying there. Expect it to be clean when you arrive, and with amenities you'll need so you can spend the time at the beach.
Why they chose this property
This particular home is a traditional north shore beach cottage. While its updated with all modern amenities, it also feels like you are at the beach. When you sleep at night, you can hear the waves crashing from each room. You are that close!!!
What makes this property unique
Five rooms have a view of the ocean! The kitchen sink faces a marsh, and if you turn around to look at the stove, you see the ocean. There's an all season porch that you can sit and have a drink or read a book and look directly at the ocean. There is a spacious back deck overlooking the marsh with peeks of the ocean. There is a another small deck with ocean views for your morning coffee. It also has plenty of parking if you choose to bring more than a couple of cars.
