For those who want the experience of staying in a true Rockport house this is it. It is not a fancy abb with faux marble and latte maker. This is a home. Clean and comfortable

Wonderful time

We were there to explore Cape Ann and this cottage was close to several beaches and a state park

We stayed at this property for 3 nights for a family reunion. While not huge, the house is well equipped and more than adequate for two couples. The neighborhood is very nice and the house is in a great location. The house was very quiet at night. There is a nearby state park that is within walking distance and a great place to visit (interesting sites and a nice beach). The only small negative was that it was difficult to reach the owners while we were there, although they were very responsive before we arrived. Overall, I would definitely recommend this property and we would absolutely stay here again.

This is an older style home right next to Halibut Point State Park. It was very clean, comfortable, and a quiet road to be on. The property owners listened to all previous reviews and responded amazingly. The temperature was in the 80’s and 90’s and the air conditioner in the bedroom was perfect for a great night sleep. Comfortable beds, clean linens, all of the dishes and amenities that you could expect or need were provided. Quality care for their guests is obvious once you enter this home.

Had a lovely few days at Pigeon Cove. The home was scrupulously clean and very cozy. Despite being on a well-traveled road, it was surprisingly quiet. Early morning breakfast on the front porch was delightful. The location is very convenient -- easy to get to the state park and local beach, as well as stores.

Had a good stay. No problems. House had everything I needed, cable TV, Wi-Fi, good updated shower. Comfortable queen beds. Great communication with host. I would stay here again.

Clean and comfortable place with easy access to many locations. The owners were incredibly responsive about any questions. I was staying there with my 80YO mother and 85YO aunt and they had zero trouble navigating the stairs. As others noted, the shower water pressure is fantastic! I would highly recommend!

Great place to stay. Owners thought about everything you may need while away from home. I would recommend this property.

My golden retriever and I had a wonderful stay. It was off season, so the area was mellow and we enjoyed lots of walks by the sea especially at Halibut Point State Park. It was beautiful weather, and a just right getaway. The house was also just right for us both. Thank you!

From the original glass door knobs to the 1960's wall phone to the old-fashioned front porch, this old house was a real treat. Craig and Sheila thought of everything (spare toothbrushes, plenty of TP, the manuals to every piece of equipment in the house, 2 types of coffee-makers, flashlights, etc..)! And when area had power outage, they quickly contacted us to make sure we were all good. Would not hesitate to recommend this place for any kind of lengthy stay. (Even the neighbors jogging by in the early mornings were friendly!) My only caution would be to anyone with a mobility issue; the 1st set of stairs leading up to the front of the house stairs are original stone steps and can be a bit difficult on old knees! Otherwise, this place is a real treasure find.

Cottage met our needs with a good location with comfortable beds and great water pressure from the shower.

On the edge of a lovely little state park with great walking trails and ocean views, this modest home has all the basics you need for a get-away and a surprisingly super-comfortable bed.

I had such a lovely long weekend at this property. I spent four days here with my husband and elderly dog, and I was thrilled to find such a great property that would allow my dog to say onsite with us. It's an older home, but all the important features were updated - namely the furniture and bathroom (with a fabulous new roomy stand-up shower). The owner kindly supplied travel-sized toiletries, along with detergent for the washer and plenty of paper towels/toilet paper. The kitchen had everything you could want - stove with range, microwave, fridge, utensils and dishware. And the bed in the front bedroom seemed new and was soft but VERY comfortable - I have a bad back and slept quite well. I loved the deep front porch with comfy furniture to read on. And the yard was just perfect for my dog - although not fenced, it was enclosed by a low stone wall to discourage any running off. There was a new washer and dryer in the basement - we didn't end up using it but it was great to know it was there, especially traveling with a senior dog! And there was a new looking propane grill out back for those who like to cook on vacation (not my thing ;) ) I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would not hesitate to book again.

Perfect

Clean , close to ocean , older could use some updating , but comfortable for us .Craig was pretty quick to answer any questions .. thank you, priced accordingly

This is a classic Rockport bungalow with a 50s feel and has a nice layout on one floor. The kitchen is nicely stocked with a variety of pans and knives (even sharp ones!), perfect for quick meals for my family of 4. The outdoor steps are indeed steep, but my teens didn't bat an eye bounding up and down. The location is ideal: a short walk to Halibut Point to walk around a quarry or sunbathe on giant rocks off the ocean, or take a short drive to local beaches. The reservation system for Gloucester beaches makes it easier to access them without sitting in long lines. The hidden bonus was easy access to Windhover Performing arts center, literally around the corner from the house. We caught a few performances, including Macbeth and some modern dance in their sweet outdoor theater. Craig and Sheila were very responsive to messages. Thank you for sharing your house.

The house was very cute and clean and a great base to explore. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the home and there were plenty of towels and extra linens. This house is within a 5 minute walk to the AMAZING Halibut Point State Park.

The house was cute and cozy. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the front porch, overlooking the street. The location was great - just a short drive to all of the things we wanted to do - beach, dining, Plum Cove for sunset watching. The beds were fairly comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was excellent, and the wifi signal was strong. The only thing that would have made our stay a bit more comfortable would have been air conditioning. We happened to pick the one weekend of the summer with an intense heat wave - 95 degrees and HUMID. There were plenty of fans so we made it work.

need a place for a week for a work trip- this house worked out perfect for us- nice and quite- but yet relaxing place to unwind

The house looked as we expected. Small house on Granite just over the Rockport line from Gloucester. We chose it for it's close location to family less than a mile away. Initially we had trouble figuring out that the parking situation. There are two narrow spots on the street. The yard was well kept and the interior was clean. The front porch had chairs and we found cushions for two of the chairs and it was nice sitting on the porch enjoying the breeze. Unfortunately, the porch was not clean. There was miscellaneous stuff on one side with the less attractive/older chairs and there were leaves and spider webs in the corners. It really needed to be swept.

Unit was FILTHY! Dust bunnies and dog hair under everything! Due to owner feud with neighbor no parking adjacent to unit. Had to climb 16 steep stairs from off road street parking to unit. Picture misleading. Shows only half of the stairs you had to climb. I'm 75 and use a cane.Very difficult month. Overpriced!!!!!!!! Definitely NOT handicapped accessible. No fans. 3 broken screens in windows. Couldn't be opened. 3 loads of laundry left in dryer. Not turned on. Stank! Had to ask for lawn to be mowed first time.
