This cottage offering cleanliness, comfort and peacefulness is just a short walk to Front Beach and all that is so enjoyable in Rockport. Beautiful gardens! The cottage suited me perfectly, this is my second visit with Janet and Mike. They are the most wonderful hosts I have ever met!

Small but very comfortable with everything you need for a vacation by the sea. Sweet and generous host. Charming and friendly neighborhood.

Great communication with very friendly owners. The cottage was perfect for just me and would have been good for a couple as well. It’s not overly fancy, but it has all the basics and it has a lot of New England charm. If you want a proper “summer stay in Rockport” vibe this is the perfect place. I grew up in the area and this place made me feel right at home.

We so enjoyed four nights at this tiny cottage. The owner, Janet, was lovely and helpful. She enjoys gardening, so flowers were everywhere. It's a great location, perfect walking distance to two beaches (kayak/SUP friendly) and the town center. The only time we used our car was when we went to visit the surrounding towns and area. A truly enjoyable stay.

We took the train from Boston to Rockport (approx. 80 minutes travel time/cost $2.40) and reached the cottage on foot in 10 minutes. We were warmly welcomed by Janet and Mike. They were also reliable contact persons during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
The cute little cottage was completely as advertised. We had everything we needed for our stay. We were also given helpful information about things to do and see in Rockport. The nights were very warm but the air conditioning worked well. The only thing that bothered us a bit were the plasticized pillowcases.
Compared to the other offerings in Rockport, this one is good value for the money. But that doesn't mean it's cheap. Although we are Swiss and live in a high-price country, we found the accommodation prices in New England to be a little excessive.

Cottage was small but adequate. Very well equipped and decorated. Location was excellent. Quiet but only a short walk to beaches shops and restaurants. Owners were very accommodating. Parking limited.

Clean, very small, had most everything. Futon in picture was deceiving, tiny, NOT a pull out. Also, no Keurig, as pictured, but does have a small coffee maker with the fixings, minus milk/cream.
Closer to a small beach, than we thought. Was very quiet and quaint.

My spouse and I stayed here to celebrate my birthday and it was perfect! Cute, cozy, close to everything. There are beaches, parks, and shops steps away—we enjoyed getting breakfast sandwiches from one of the cafes nearby and having them by the beach in the morning, but it is easy to cook at the cottage, too. Parking was good for us as well. Overall it is a very comfortable little place to stay and I would definitely stay there again!

We loved our stay at this cozy cabin. It was a quick walk to the beach and quiet and peaceful at night. It's a smaller space with tight parking, but not a problem if you drive a smaller passenger vehicle and are under 6' 😉 Janet did a great job decorating the place and organizing a small area. Worth the price!

In town for our son’s wedding, and the cottage was perfect for our needs!

A perfect place for our brief stay in MA. Location is easy to find, and parking was simple enough, though it could be tougher with a large vehicle. Location is incredible--it's a brief walk into town and an even briefer walk to the coast. In fact, you can see the water just over the fence along the driveway! The unit itself is an ADU/tiny-house-style cottage. It's probably ~400 square feet, so it is admittedly small, but it's decked out with everything most folks would need while on vacation. It has a living space, kitchenette, bathroom, and bedroom, each with lots of extras like takeout menus from local spots. The shower and bed are both a little tight but both functional--the water is warm and the bed comfortable. The WiFi seemed to work well. The host was very nice, gracious, and interested in making sure we were having a good stay! So long as you don't need a ton of space, this is a fantastic place to stay, and it doesn't hurt one bit that it was a LOT more affordable than anywhere else in the region we could find when we booked ;). We might be back!

We were very happy with the cottage. Very sweet. Small but had what we needed. Loved being able to walk into town and a free beach. Enjoyed our stay

The cottage was equipped with all the necessities. Very clean and tidy.
Small spaces were well planned out.
The bed and couch were very comfortable.
The decor inside and out made the space feel cozy and just like a visit to the coast.
The porch and landscaping felt like home away from home .
Just a short walk through a quaint neighborhood to the beach.

Advertised as air conditioned. But only 1 tiny unit at one end of apartment. The bedroom was at the other end in a seperate room. Unbearably hot! I could not stay there, and did not. I had to fid aother place to stay that cost me twice as much. Not fair after diving over 500 miles.

This property was perfect for what we needed. Visiting Family after the house was sold, we needed a place to stay. Short walk to most everything we needed while we were in town. This is a small property, if you are above average size, you may want to look for something else. The shower stall is very tight and the bed can only be entered from one side so if you get up in the middle of the night you may have to climb over your partner.
For us it was perfect and we enjoyed our stay.

My girlfriend and I got engaged on the little deck in front of the cottage. These people do a really good job with the cottage. They get you situated. They have information for you for the surrounding area. Everything is clean. Everything is provided for you. Everything is friendly and welcoming. Highly highly highly recommend this place. We can't wait to get back there next year.

The cottage has a few low ceilings that might be an issue if you are tall, but all the basic amenities were there. It might be a little tight for a couple, but is perfect for a solo traveler, and close to all the action in downtown Rockport.

Ideal location with top rate hostess
We can't say enough about the kindness of Janet and Mike. They were a wealth of knowledge for where to visit, eat and how to maneuver getting into Boston. Their cottage is small, but quaint. They have thought of everything you may need on a vacation. They are only a few steps away from the ocean and a short walk away from the heart of Rockport. We highly reccomend this cottage.

Excellent location and sweet cottage
The location of this cottage - just a few minutes walk to the beach and a few minutes more to downtown Rockport, was excellent. Everything was within walking distance.
The cottage itself was cozy and comfortable. There were fans and an a.c. unit if needed. There was a full kitchen stocked with dishes, glasses, etc. There was a deck with chairs and a table. It was quiet. It was very clean and I would definitely stay again if I visited Rockport.
The one thing I will note is that if you are a taller person, you might find things like the doorways, bed, and shower to be cramped. I'm 5'7" and it worked great for me, but someone closer to 6' would need to get creative.
