Wonderful stay

We were in Rockport for the birth of a grandchild. This place was perfect for us as it was close to our family and convenient to the local shops and events. This was a great place to stay and we hope to return for future visits to Rockport! Thank you Darlene for the opportunity!

Perfect getaway for two!

We absolute loved this property! Just what we were looking for! We felt right at home here. Clean, modern & up-to-date design. We had everything we needed and the owner generously stocked the essentials. Darlene gave us our privacy and yet was available if we needed anything at anytime. We will be back. Thank-you for everything!!

Compact, comfortable cottage

A well-designed small home that has everything 2 people would need to enjoy the sights and sounds of beautiful Rockport. Most everything is built in and all the furnishings were comfortable. A charming place for a vacation.

stylish, peaceful and spacious cottage

We had a very comfortable week in this modern cottage. It is interesting and thoughtfully designed, and is a generous size for two people. Easy walk into beautiful Rockport, and there's a gorgeous little beach 10 minutes walk through a very pretty residential area. Darlene was on hand if needed but not at all intrusive. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Really cute cottage!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! It is ideally located within an easy walk to town and a small beach. Darlene was very attentive and provided all we needed for a great stay. We plan on a return visit next year.

extremely comfortable stay

We loved our stay in this beautiful architect (owner) designed cottage with every detail just perfect. Situated in a niche near the road to Rockport schools next to one of the largest oaks on earth (six foot diameter), the windows were oriented to nature, birds were always present, and the feeling was more like being in the peaceful woods--although the village is only a mile away. Darlene was generous in many ways to make our stay very comfortable.

cozy contempoary

We rented this cottage for the month of December to be near family for the holidays. we enjoyed our winter experience in Rockport and the cottage met our needs. Most importantly, it was cozy comfy on these frigid New England days. Interesting in -floor heating, great insulation. The place came fully supplied and Darlene was very responsive and pleasant as a host.

Rockport Retreat - Relaxation at it's best!

wonderful cottage, wonderful location

We loved this cottage. It is very attractive, functional and has everything you need. The location is very quiet but incredibly handy to get in and out of Rockport and Gloucester. We were able to easily play tennis at the nearby school, golf at the nearby golf club and enjoy the beaches of Gloucester. Darlene, the owner, has decorated the cottage simply yet it has all the appliances and comforts you need. We were able to bring our well-behaved Jack Russell terrier and he loved the walks nearby as well as the cottage itself. It is indeed a peaceful cottage retreat and highly recommended!

Perfect Getaway Cottage

We stayed for three weeks in August 2016. This property is exactly the way the pictures show it. It's great for low maintenance as far as cleaning which is nice when you are on vacation. The amenities were adequate. There is no a/c and we only had two nights that were uncomfortable for sleeping. Rockport was unusually warm for the month of August. The location is great if you like to walk to town. We walked every day and just enjoyed every minute of our walks. You can also take some side roads and walk along the coast. Great picture taking moments. Gloucester is 3 miles away and there are lots of fun things to take in there also. We enjoyed the owners very much Darlene and Rob and they were always helpful if we had any questions for them. The only con that we had with the unit is that their isn't a picture in the whole unit. There are such beautiful spots in Rockport that I wish they had some pictures of Bearskin Neck or Motif#1 on the walls. This is a great place to stay and Rockport is just a lovely town to enjoy. You definitely will be very satisfied if you stay here.

Perfect Getaway

My wife and I enjoyed a week at the cottage. It was exceptionally equipped with everything we needed. We hope to return again in the near future and stay longer. We loved the town of Rockport & the many surrounding communities. The owners of this cottage were very thoughtful in providing all the things needed. Unfortunately we did not meet them in person but there was nothing we really needed. Very spacious living space made for an exceptional experience. Highly recommend this place for a romantic get away.
