Historic waterfront home w/ a sun room, ocean views, dog-friendly
Andrews Point Ocean Home
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
This historic waterfront home offers a spectacular setting for your next extended family vacation or group getaway. Located at the northern end of Rockport in the highly desirable neighborhood known as “The Avenues,” this spacious two-story retreat combines classic New England character with sweeping ocean views.
Inside, you'll find several inviting gathering spaces, including a bright sunroom with ocean views and comfortable living areas throughout the home. Beautiful decorative stone fireplaces add distinctive architectural character and historic charm. A well-equipped full kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals for the whole group, while the generous layout provides plenty of space to relax and reconnect.
Outside, the expansive grassy backyard meets the shoreline, where a slate patio at the water’s edge offers a perfect place to enjoy the coastal scenery.
What’s nearby:
Kayakers and confident swimmers can access the water directly from the backyard, with additional launching spots just down the street. The historic Atlantic Path, located directly in front of the home, provides a scenic coastal walk past Sea Rocks and toward Cathedral Avenue.
The charming seaside town of Rockport is just three miles away, offering restaurants, shops, galleries, museums, and performances at the Shalin Liu Performance Center. Back Beach, Front Beach, and Old Garden Beach are all within four miles for easy beach days.
Things to know:
The fireplaces are non-operational
Free WiFi
Full kitchen
Gas grill
A crib, high chair, Pack-N-Play, changing table, and booster seat are all provided
The family dogs are welcome to join you here
Front door access ramp for guests with limited mobility

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 4 vehicles.
Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
