About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Walk to the ocean, very private. Secluded, woodsy location.

We are a cozy studio in a unique setting. There is a babbling brook that runs through the property to the ocean. This was a granite-quarrying site many years ago, and the property retains the remnants of a granite road used by ox carts to move granite blocks to the schooners. There is wild life on occasion, we recently had a great blue heron for several days. State park on the ocean is a 20 min walk.

Cozy Stay
Beautiful, cozy stay near the ocean. Beautiful views a short walk away. Because of the weather we didn't get to use much of the outdoor space, but several nice chairs outside. Felt pretty private, separate entrance from rest of house. The grill was a nice touch, but nowhere to sit and eat inside (other than the bed) so we didn't get a chance to cook. Thanks for the lovely stay!

Magical retreat
I loved staying in this simple little efficiency. This part of Massachusetts is truly a hidden gem. Philip was very welcoming and gracious. The property was beautiful (I saw a bunny, chipmunks, a deer) and the space was comfortable. I highly recommend this place.

Peaceful Property
Phil, the host, met us when we arrived to make sure we found the place before it is more secluded. The property was gorgeous and peaceful. My husband and I sat outside each morning of our stay and drank our coffee together. Good location too. Downtown Rockport is a short drive. Hammond Castle and downtown Salem aren’t too far either.

A Gem in Gloucester
Phil was an amazing host! Met us when we arrived and showed us around his beautiful property. Having a grill and a firepit were amazing for us. Phil told us a bit of history of the property and surrounding area and even about a "secret" ocean spot! We were close to everything we wanted to see and more! Definitely a favorite for us! Thanks for everything Phil!!
