Stunningly situated right on the rocky shores of beautiful Rockport Harbor, this light-filled, oceanfront home is a coastal retreat like no other. Stroll a matter of blocks to reach the beach and the center of town, and watch gorgeous nightly sunsets over the harbor and historic Motif #1.

This unique home boasts one of the most enviable locations in Rockport, perched at the water's edge with a view of the charming fishing shack known as "the most-often painted building in America." You can walk to just about everything in town, including Front Beach, Bearskin Neck, and great restaurants, shops, and entertainment (all within half a mile). The train station, which connects you to Boston and other areas of the North Shore, is just three-quarters of a mile west.

There's no better spot to take in the setting than the spacious waterfront deck. Sip your first cup of coffee at sunrise, soak up the afternoon sunshine as boats come and go from the harbor, and spend long summer nights sipping wine and playing board games at sunset.

The interior is inviting and comfortable, full of natural wood details and windows that open to the harbor. The open living area brings together an oceanfront sitting room, a living and dining area, and a kitchenette with all of the essentials. The queen bed ensures a good night's sleep before the next day's adventures. A washer/dryer, a gas fireplace, and seasonal air conditioning are provided for your comfort as well.

Highly recommend!
We loved staying here and will definitely be back! The house was adorable, and the views were outstanding. We had everything we needed, and the home was very clean and welcoming. We loved being able to walk to restaurants and coffee shops - excellent location! Highly recommend this Rockport gem!

Great time out
We loved the water fowl and watching the activity in the harbor. It was super quiet in the cottage at night so we slept very well. The bed is remarkably comfortable—it’s a super queen size, not the double we were expecting. Free parking right across the street was no problem.

Perfect creative and cozy atmosphere
I did a solo trip for a couple nights for some self reflection and self care. It was the perfect space to draw, meditate, and walk. It was an inspiring space and location. I would highly recommend it for an intimate getaway with a bestie or your partner. The sunset at halibut point was chilly during my time of the year but worth it

Perfect Quaint Cottage
The cottage is a perfect stay for two people, directly on the harbor and eye level with all the wildlife. Beautiful propane fireplace and sun sets to enjoy in the fall. The cottage was cozy and great for a couples romantic get-a-way as well as the perfect setting to work remote. We went during the 'off season' for tourists but many shops if not all shops were still open- the seafood was delicious and the locals were kind, talkative, and enhanced the stay. All shops were local owned, and the town is booming with artwork.
