There's no other residence in sight from this lovely, quiet, waterfront setting just a mile from town. The house is vintage in all ways (except for one minisplit), a delightful step back in time. This includes the very basic and cramped kitchen, which was fine with us. We still did plenty of cooking and happily washed our own dishes--again, an old-school vacation. I suspect the house would be pretty hot in a heat wave, as all rooms except the main living/dining room are cooled with fans only, but we had great weather. Problems. 1) The wifi wouldn't connect to the network despite our trying all the generic instructions provided and we did not want to spend any more time hassling with tech, so we did not reach out to Vacasa. Instead, we did without TV and relied on our phones for internet. (N.B.: the network name we were given was the password, and the password we were given was the network name, which we quickly figured out.) Also: the bed in the single room is rock hard and appears to be very old; the box spring has got to be mid-twentieth century, ripped fabric, exposed rusty springs, etc. Overall, except for uncomfortable sleeping in the single room and deciding to be content without TV, we greatly enjoyed our stay, including the terrific old library full of excellent books. I have to say that I didn't like not having the ability to communicate directly with the owner or local property manager. This is why I gave this category 1 star.

This get away is all about the location and view, which is absolutely stunning both during the day and on moon lit nights. The cottage is rustically charming and has simple but adequate amenities to meet all your needs. The property is just outside of Rockport center but feels a bit more remote though close to all this beautiful town has to offer. This was just the vacation we were hoping for.

There were mice nests in the bookshelves. A very oderifious musty smell coming from the crawl space under the cottage into it from a grate in living room covered by a rug. Green mold on wood paneling. Dead bugs in blankets. Spiders in corners. Lawn was very overgrown. Mold on the books. Find anywhere else but here.

Cozy and charming. The library was such a beautiful peaceful room. The driveway is extremely tight. And the walk to the cottage was pretty steep when trying to carry luggage.

This home was absolute charm and character - my boyfriend and I will be talking about this stay for years to come. We loved the library, spent our mornings and evenings sipping coffee and looking at the spectacular view, and everything was so convenient to Rockport and nearby. We had more than enough towels, clean linens, and pillows to keep us comfortable. Unfortunately, cleanliness did leave a bit to be desired - we washed each dish before we used it, and dust bunnies had collected behind and around a lot of the furniture. Kitchen organization was haphazard, and more than a few spiders had made themselves home here as well. All in all, we are so happy to have rented this property, but it should be known that the charm comes with more than a few rustic characteristics.
