About this cottage rental
After the success of A Breezy Cottage, we set our sails on The Life of Reilly! The property was purchased in September, 2013 and it is ready to be enjoyed! A wonderful, nautically appointed cottage two houses away from our other rental and a very short walk to the charming beaches of Rockport, MA. It comfortably sleeps up to 7 people including a a queen sized master bed, a full size bed, two single futons in the loft as well as a pull out sofa in the living room. An airy and sunny cottage located on a quiet cul de sac just outside of town, this home is a peaceful retreat while being so close to the beaches and town. The yard is open for games, outside cooking and dining or just relaxing. In its prime location, guests are a short walking distance to scenic downtown Rockport. Rockport's main attraction, Bearskin Neck, is filled with restaurants, art galleries, tourist shops and much more. Guests can find activities such as kayaking to the Twin Lighthouses to sharing a stuffed clam from Roy Moore Lobster Co. The Shalin Liu Performance Center is the newest addition to our quaint town and brings in world renowned musical artists. Summer 2014 will be the first season for The Life of Reilly and we are very excited to meet new friends and share our adorable beach cottage! Be some of our first guests and we are sure you will make this vacation home your new summer tradition!

We enjoyed our stay. Weather wasn’t warm enough to enjoy the amenities outside but the place itself was cute. Plenty of room for our family to relax and enjoy each other’s company.

The property owner was very welcoming The house was perfectly located for what we wanted to do and see. Very cozy and loved the uniqueness of it. The only drawback was the listing said two bathrooms There was only one. There was an outdoor shower.

I had a wonderful week stay at "The Life of Reilly". The cottage is clean, comfortable, and charming. Liz is a welcoming, accommodating, and thoughtful host. The location is quiet and convenient. I hope to return sometime soon.

Stayed 2 nights in early November and lucked out on fantastic weather. The home is just as described and a short block to Back Beach. Walking distance to Rockport shops and Front Beach. Hosts are very friendly and communicative. Definitely recommend and would stay again next time in the area.

Great location! Easy access to Rockport, train to Salem, road trip around Cape Ann and only 1.5 hours to Maine for lobster.
The house is an easy walk to the beach and Bear Skin Neck. Maybe 2 minutes to Back Beach and 15 minutes all the way to end past My Place restaurant.
The one bathroom was oddly laid out and the shower is small. Would have been nice to have a TV in the dinning room. And the coffee pot was a little fancy for me, no instruction so no coffee. Brothers Brew is maybe 7 minute walk and have all the coffee and donuts you need.
Over all; the owner was great, greeted us upon arrival. Wealth of information about the area but gave us room to explore. I don't think you will beat the value/location.

It was just myself and my three school aged children 12 and under. We had such a fun time in the Rockport/ Gloucester area this summer. The house was super cute and perfect for me and mine. With such close and convenient proximity to all our destinations: bearskin shops, wingearsheek beach, Hammond castle, and Cape Ann whale watch we were able to get to everything on our to do list and still have time for relaxation! Loved the Reilly life experience 😁

Rockport July vacation
My sister, brother in law, my husband and I had a delightful vacation at the Life of Reilly! The location was ideal! Close to stores, museums, beaches-even walking distance! We loved the kitchenette, living room & had plenty of room in our bedrooms! What we liked the most was the picnic table on the deck where we all talked into the night! Highly recommend this location!

The house is as described, and is such a sweet property. Having two separate living spaces is nice if you have kiddos along. Walking distance to many of the fun Rockport attractions made this a great place for us to stay. We also appreciated the thoughtfulness of the owner who left a graduation surprise for us, so incredibly sweet. We would love to come stay again sometime soon. Thank you for a great visit to Rockport!

This was the perfect place to spend a few days near the ocean. The view of the ocean from the house was so nice and the short walk allowed us to visit it frequently.
Very close to the center of Rockport where we enjoyed leisurely strolling, shopping and dining.
We mostly avoid public dining due to Covid, and the kitchen in the home was perfect for preparing meals and eating in.
The main living room is warm and inviting and was roomy for some more family to join us for the afternoon for conversation and board games.
The two bedrooms were lovely and the beds were comfortable. We needed three separate sleeping spaces and words of advice for those planning to stay here: the loft is awesome, but the beds are best for young people. The mattresses were not suitable for my 200lbs. But the couch was a comfortable alternative for one person.
And the owners were so friendly, they really made the experience perfect.
I highly recommend it.

Autumn Weekend by the Beach
My friends and I loved our weekend stay here! The location is great, right by the beach and so close to cute towns. Liz was responsive and happy to make recommendations and do whatever she could to ensure we had a pleasant stay. While the beach in autumn isn't for everyone, their cottage has a lovely living room with a fireplace, it was so cozy and fun to spend time there! I will cherish the time we spent here for years to come.

We had an amazing stay at Liz and Tim's place in Rockport. We were there for a few weeks and not only was the property perfect for us to visit with family but we really felt welcomed to the neighborhood. The town is wonderful for morning walks and runs and exploring the beautiful, serene beaches. "Life of Reilly" cottage was the perfect size for our small group of four and the backyard was perfect for hosting friends and family. We had beautiful fall weather and made use of the wood stove in the "cozy room". Liz and Tim (and all the Reilly's) are unbelievably thoughtful hosts, making us feel so welcome from the start of the trip and all through our stay. Would recommend this hands down for anyone looking for a home away from home for a short trip in beautiful Rockport!

Great For Us
This cottage was very comfortable and clean.
The place was good for our family of five (4 adults and one teen)
The location is great; short walk to a small beach and a 10 minute walk into the quaint coastal village.
The price is what I would expect for a house rather than hotel rooms.
I would love to return to the area sometime and would certainly stay in this property.

Great location
A nice walking distance to front beach. Could either walk or drive to the neck. A quiet street that was peaceful at night listening to the waives while enjoying the cool nights on the deck. Loved seeing or morning fox stroll by.

Perfect family vacations
How lucky we were to find this house for our family vacations! The location was perfect with the beach almost next door. It made our days so much easier with the kids. Liz is a great host, available and very welcoming! With all the art galeries, shops and the Bearskin Neck within a short walking distance, we had everything we needed to really relax and enjoy our vacations. I would recommand this place to everyone.
