Lovely spot really cute well equipped cottage. Great location

On the Cove is spectacularly situated and wonderfully managed. The rooms are large and airy, a view of gardens or the cove from every window. Everything indoors is comfortable, everything you need in reach. I loved the voices of children and fishermen. I loved it all.

Our anniversary trip was enjoyed by endless hiking, eating lobster, and enjoying New England ocean views!

First off, if I could give more stars to Marissa (the host) I would - I don't think 5 minutes went by after I'd send a message (both before and during the stay) and I'd have a response back. Not just yes/no/OK kind of messages, but warm and thorough replies that made it clear she wanted us to have a good stay and to be sure we didn't have any lingering questions. For the apartment - spotless, well stocked, thoughtful touches (welcoming goodies), and covered all the bases. Heating is radiant from the floors and really works well, as does the hot water and water pressure. The backyard literally is the ocean and the views from each window are not "peeks", it's front and center full on cove and ocean. Easily walkable to local coffee store and small liquor/grocery store. 10 - 15 minute drive to either downtown Rockport or downtown Gloucester. reviewers said is true! If you've spent time in Rockport (as I have for many years), you'll be surprised at the quiet. No cars/no motorcycles/no groups of tourists at every corner, just peaceful views and for those that you pass on the street when walking, a smile and hello! One other word about the host. It's easy to run a great place when all goes well. It's when things go wrong that the good rise to excellent. There were some minor things that came up. Within minutes all was taken care of and again with the sincere effort that showed care and concern for our comfort. A++!

The apartment was exactly as described. Well appointed. Good communication with owner when necessary. Lovely views. Ability to control the heat much appreciated. A great spot to spend the Christmas holiday.

Great spot, a laid back area with wonderful views that reminded me of enclosed harbors in England Perfect for appreciative adults

We rented this place to be close to Salem in October but not too close. It was perfect. Half hour drive. Close to train station if you want to use public transport. We had our days filled with activities so really only slept here. Wish we would have had time to enjoy the cove. Gorgeous views. Place was clean and spacious. Bed comfortable. Shower pressure awesome. Everything in kitchen needed if you wanted to cook there. Would def stay again!!

Our stay at On the Cove was wonderful! Such a hidden treasure steps from the ocean. The place is very private, comfortable and relaxing.
