The Space:

Welcome to the Simon Michael Art Studio!



Now, a coastal cottage once owned by the esteemed artist Simon Michael, affectionately known as the Grandfather of the Rockport Art Colony. In fact, the home earned a historical marker in 2024 honoring the legacy of Simon Michael and his beloved seaside retreat.



Get ready to kick back, relax, and soak up the good vibes at this cozy coastal gem! This bright and beachy home sleeps up to 4 guests and has 1.5 bathrooms—perfect for a small family, couples’ getaway, or a weekend with friends. The open loft features a comfortable king bed overlooking the living area, and there’s a convenient queen Murphy bed on the main floor for added flexibility.



Step inside and feel the coastal charm from the moment you walk through the door. Enjoy lazy mornings with coffee on the porch, cook up fresh seafood in the fully stocked kitchen, or unwind in the comfy living room after a day of exploring. We also provide complimentary coffee and tea with condiments, plus a welcome snack basket to start your stay off right.



Whether you’re fishing at Rockport Beach, browsing local art galleries, or grabbing fresh oysters nearby, everything you love about Rockport is just minutes away!



So pack your flip-flops, grab your shades, and make yourself at home—your seaside escape starts here!
