Rockport

Rockport was beautiful on Memorial Day weekend! The cottage was perfect for our party of four adults. Great peaceful location and clean cottage and packed with everything you needed to cook, relax, beach, bike and have fun! Thank you Mary for being attentive and for the wonderful accommodations at your cottage.

Wonderful comfortable cottage. Has everything you need for a great vacation

Enjoyed the nautical decor and quiet neighborhood. Coming "home" to Cape Ann, where we were born and raised, was a wonderful trip down memory lane.

Great place

The owner Mary is easy to work with and gave us a gift basket of chocolates, wine, crackers, and more. The house is nicely updated and near the town. It is near a main road but very well insulated and sound proofed. The back deck furniture and amenities were all enjoyable with a peak a boo ocean view too. . It is also on a road that you can walk along the ocean with breath taking views. We would highly recommend this property.
