About this property

Artistic guest suite with beautiful outdoor spaces, walk to town & beaches

Peacefully situated in a hilltop garden setting, this guest suite is a place to experience Rockport's beauty, greenery, and unique artistic atmosphere. There's so much you can stroll to in just over a mile, from charming downtown Rockport to the lovely shores of Pebble Beach and Loblolly Cove.

The house dates back to 1928, with the neighborhood maintaining much of the tranquility of yesteryear. The home sits in the midst of wild, local vegetation, offering serene outdoor spaces for sitting with a cup of coffee and basking in the coastal sunshine.

This guest suite is attached to the main part of the home on the property, but it enjoys its own private entrance. The homeowners are professional artists and display their work throughout, contributing to the suite's cozy, creative, and inspiring ambience. Everything has the feeling of home, from the beautiful beamed ceilings to the cute little kitchen. When you're not out walking or exploring, use the complimentary WiFi to work remotely, play board games and puzzles with your loved one, or curl up in front of the Roku TV to stream a good movie.

The sleeping space is upstairs on the second floor. There's no washer/dryer here, but other conveniences include tabletop air conditioners/misters.

I had such a great stay here! I stayed solo and felt completely comfortable. The place was super cute, cozy, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect; so close to downtown and really convenient for exploring the area. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

This is a very unique property, loaded with beautiful art and tastefully appointed. The location is perfect for a couple or single looking to unwind in a beautifully landscaped, private studio apartment. The home has a well equipped kitchen and bath and the living and sleeping quarters are quite comfortable. We would stay there again.

Shhh, don't tell anyone...but it's great!

We had a great time staying here. Very spacious and large interior with plenty of places to sit and relax. The outside area was also large and had space to sit and relax as well. Very quiet and great charm inside and out. Likely will stay here again when we return.

This is a perfect place for a mini-vacation/retreat! The location can't be beat - halfway between Halibut Point State Park and Good Harbor Beach (my go-tos when I visit Rockport) with the town's center in between. The property is gorgeous with lots of privacy on the Studio side. The interior is light-filled and spacious, enhanced by the owner's and family artwork, perfect sized kitchen and bathroom. Loved the loft bedroom. Lots of extra towels provided. Very cozy and warm environment. Loved my stay!

Beautiful Historic Rental

Charming interior filled with beautiful paintings and decorated with old world charm. The grounds are lovely with gardened areas and granite outcroppings among the mowed lawn. Beautiful shade trees. We enjoyed the outdoor table and chairs in the morning with our coffee and in the evening with a glass of wine. The setting of the house is so serene. All you can hear is the birds.

I could only hear the birds!

With the windows open, the breeze came through and so did the bird songs! The grounds are lovely and the location is very private. I did not see a soul except for the neighbor’s landscaper, and the mailman turning around! There is a lovely walking path that leads to a water view and downtown is only a mile away.
