What a lovely spot! Sally and Frank should offer training classes to anyone thinking of becoming hosts!! They know what they are doing! The studio was immaculate, really lovely, embellished with thoughtful details to ensure our comfort and feelings of being spoiled rotten! Lovely spot too with a view of the bay and close to everything, by foot or car. Don’t hesitate! This is THE ONE!! Enjoy!

Sally May, Frank and their puppy Macaroon are wonderful hosts! They really make your stay top notch. The recommendations on restaurants was fantastic, the studio was extremely clean and well stocked. They really anticipated their guests needs.
Location is the perfect spot, right near Rockport and a short drive into Gloucester.
Opening the curtains to a beautiful sunrise really makes the stay very serene!

It exceeded the expectations of the photos and description. Made for a perfect stay for a much needed getaway. We loved meeting the hosts and their puppy Macaron. The studio was so well appointed and comfy. Even on a rainy day it made for a cozy place to nap and relax. We recommend highly!

It was so easy to arrange this stay. Sally and Frank made it so accommodating; the place has everything you need. I loved the little touches like a vase of fresh flowers. Down the street are beautiful beaches, fresh seafood restaurants, and the best doughnuts ever (Brothers Brew). Also down the street is the Shalin Liu Performance Center - the stage is against a picture window to the water! I will be back. Sally and Frank made this adventure easy with their info and help.

Motif #2 was wonderful! The space is good for a couple, and we were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. Sally May and Frank were perfect hosts. The studio had everything we needed and more for our three night stay. Lots of sunshine during the day and quiet at night.
The mattress was the best we’ve ever slept on!

We stayed here to celebrate an extended Valentine's weekend and my boyfriend's birthday..could not be happier! Cottage was quaint,well appointed, phenomenal view, private deck and warm and cozy atmosphere with an artist's flair - gorgeous! Loved the painters pallet art on the wall, by the way.
Fresh flowers on the table and a guest journal made it very inviting.
Would definitely stay here again. 10/10

Motif #2 was more than we expected! Walking distance to watch the sun rise over the ocean and cozy in the rain. Rockport, even in January, is a gem. We were welcomed with cookies and were amazed at how well thought out the studio was. It does not lack for anything. A glorious 1st of January with warm Temps and sun also helped!

What a beautiful property and generous host! I was actually brought to tears at how the sunrise pours into the living space of this home. Absolutely stunning view. We enjoyed every moment.

This property is so adorable and in a perfect location. My best friend and I got together for a girls weekend and Motif #2 was such a great spot. It’s spacious enough to sit around and catch up over coffee and close enough to go into town and shop or grab dinner. I couldn’t have asked for better hosts or location. Thanks for having us!

Our stay at motif #2 was fabulous! It was my husband and mine’s wedding weekend and I couldn’t have imagined a better place to relax in amidst all the hustle and bustle.

Motif #2 is a beautiful little studio right across from the sea and conveniently located just down the street from anything you would want to do in Rockport, butbalso close enough to visit many other places including Salem. Sally and Frank are the best hosts ever and have thought of your every need, right down to fresh flowers and homemade baked goods. By far one of the best vacation experiences we have ever had. At the end of the day you really do feel like you are just coming home...5 stars, two thumbs up!!! We cannot wait to come back!!!

This place was as advertised! As we were on Cape May for the goings on in Salem, we didn’t get to spend nearly as much time there as we wanted, but Motif #2 was clean, cozy and adorable with its artsy, nautical theme and friendly owners. We will definitely be back!

Amazing stay! This cottage is a little piece of paradise. Beautifully maintained and decorated. Fully stocked with anything you could need. Great location. Easy access to train station which we took to Salem. To top everything off, we had the most amazing host, Sally. She spoiled us with goodies and helpful hints about the area. I hope that this will be our home away from home when we are in the area. Couldn’t ask for more!!

Sally May and Frank are the quintessential hosts. Almost from the moment I submitted our request I felt an immediate connection to them. Sally May and I texted quite frequently, making me feel right at home.
The Motif 2, as the cottage is called, went above and beyond our expectations. It is beautifully decorated, spotless and oh so cozy. Sally May and Frank have literally thought of every possible detail. AND Sally May made the most delicious carrot cake for my husband's birthday! I can't say enough about this beautiful property and Sally May & Frank. It was like coming home. We will definitely be back and stay longer!

My stay was amazing. Sally May and Francis were the epitome of graciousness and kindness. I felt welcomed from the moment I contacted them through to checking out. Sally May checked in with me throughout my stay, giving recommendations from restaurants to where I could go for a nice walk. Sally May and Francis both recognized my birthday while I was there including going an extra step and making me a key lime pie that was out of this world 😋. They absolutely exceeded any expectations and provided the most welcoming and comfortable stay. I will be going back as often as time permits and wholeheartedly give their home away from home a five star review, only because ten stars aren’t available! Thank you both!

The pictures do not do this property justice; it was better than we expected! The studio was welcoming, calming, creative and colorful, and the personal touches such as the fresh flowers, inspiration stones, and decor won us over! They truly thought of everything when designing the studio. And the view? Priceless! The hosts were down to earth, sweet, and made us feel like we were home, like family. My husband and I have made new friends here that we will cherish. The spot is perfectly situated for quiet relaxation and yet close to all the activities; best of all worlds. Truly a treasure!

This place is nothing short of perfect, they thought of everything. While small, the smart design makes it feel larger and so inviting. This is the best place I have stayed in awhile and plan to go back. It is a place to get your head together, a place of mindfulness and beauty.

As soon as we walked in the door we were blown away with the cottage. We have never stayed in a hotel, B & B, or rental of any kind that was so clean and smelled so clean. Our three nights were perfect in every way. When we left, we still couldn’t find a thing that was missing or needed correcting. Sally and Frank had completely thought out the decorating and furnishing of the former artist’s cottage. We enjoyed coffee on the deck overlooking the water.
Our hosts were living very close by, so they were always available either in person or by nearly instantaneous texting if we had any questions.
The location is convenient to “down town” Rockport, Gloucester and Salem. Rockport and Salem seemed very touristy. Gloucester not so much. Sally and Frank recommended a number of nice sit down restaurants in Gloucester. We tried the “Seaport Grill” and the “Causeway”. Both were outstanding. The portions were mammoth and the pricing did not drive away the locals. (Note: The Causeway is BYOB and the locals bring their tiny coolers with wine and beer. As we used to say in Montana, if you scrape your boots, you’re overdressed for the Causeway. It’s a local hangout and totally worth it.)
This place is a gem!
