Very cute, well maintained, vert secure.

This cottage is quaint, cozy, and incredibly well located. It's a three minute walk to downtown Rockport's Front Beach and just seconds down the hill to the scenic (and historic) Mill Pond. The cottage itself is adorable inside and out. Be forewarned, though, that it is small, and the space works much better with the convertible bed closed. Louise is a wonderful host, and she keeps the cottage clean and well stocked with food items to give guests a start on their stay. I was very grateful to her for her flexibility around check in and very much enjoyed meeting her and Carl when I arrived. A final benefit is space for guest parking just down the hill - something you don't often find in Rockport.

The Sound House exceeded our expectations—clean, comfortable, and so very cute. Our host generously provided ample breakfast and snack items. Logs were laid in the fireplace which we lit and enjoyed one cool rainy day. We really felt that our hosts tried to anticipate any need that we may have and provide for it. In addition, we loved that the cottage was on a very quiet lane just steps from the Mill Pond Park—a great place to walk our dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our weeks visit!

I don’t even know where to begin. Staying at the sound house was one of the best ever experiences. The cottage was immaculate, quaint, cozy and felt like home away from home ( didn’t want to leave). It was a great get away during these difficult times and I thank you so much for opening “The Sound House” so that I could see my grandchildren. Please please if one wants the New England experience consider “The Sound House” in Rockport! Louise will make the experience even better! She and her husband stocked the refrigerator with the much appreciated staples, wood to burn as it got chilly and accessible if needed. I cannot say enough about this most pleasant stay. Thank you again Denise

Thoroughly enjoyed the space and location. This little cottage comes with just about anything you could possible need! Hosts are very gracious. Hope to return next year.

The house was perfect for my needs, I was working for most of my stay so the quiet and scenic location were a great fit. You could take walks throughout Rockport which I did a lot.

This is the second time renting the Sound House and it was wonderful as usual. The weather was beautiful and the cottage is so comfortable and clean. Front beach and downtown is a short walk, so location is perfect. I wish I could have stayed longer. Looking forward to the next time.Louise and Karl are the best hosts. Thank you!!

Louise and her husband were very thoughtful in how they prepared the home for my stay and promptly responded to every phone and text communication. I thoroughly enjoyed the clean, cozy, comfortable studio and that anything I needed, from an extra blanket to umbrella to pizza cutter was easy to find. There are modern details that also made everything easier, like the super quiet a/c and easy to use window blinds. The airbed is amazingly comfortable! While there are many cottages in the area, the trees and greenery helped me feel like I had good privacy in the bathroom and kitchen, and the convenience of walking the dog easily into town, to the beach or to the pond helped me easily change from quiet to lively or scenic settings. The only thing to keep in mind for larger/taller people is that the shower is a bit small. I recommend the cottage for anyone looking for a get away for one, with a dog, or with a special someone.

The cottage was great! The bed had an air mattress which was so comfortable. Very clean and excellent location! The patio had a beautiful view of the ocean and a quick walk to Front Beach. Downtown was only about a 5 minute walk. I can’t wait to return!

We had a fantastic time here...stayed in Rockport while in Gloucester for a month on business. Small space but perfectly appointed- charming is an understatement. The view of the harbor from the front window is incredible. The town is adorable. Lots of fun shops and art galleries in walking distance. If you are looking for a peaceful respite, or a shabby-chic romantic getaway, you won't be disappointed! We left feeling completely recharged.

I had a great summer experience at the "Sound House". The location was ideal and offered pretty ocean views from the front and patio. It was equipped with everything I needed for my stay. Louise is a wonderful host and she provided a great welcome preparation for me. I greatly enjoyed my stay.
