The location of this cute cottage cannot be beat - right in Dock Square between Bearskin Neck and Front Beach. The floors and ceilings are full of character, the bath and appliances are new and beautiful We loved our bedrooms with the cozy bedding (we heard no/very minimal street noise) - and my older son slept on a 'day bed' on the top floor that connects to the beautiful deck.
The deck may actually be the best part - you can see Front Beach out to the ocean. I had coffee there in the mornings - listening to the waves and birds, definitely a highlight for me.
Because of the great location the kids could walk around on their own (pre-teen and 14 y/o). The reserved parking is a game-changer - in Rockport, it's best to have a dedicated spot for your car.
The host was excellent, attentive but not too much, left us a basket of snacks, pods for the Keurig, waters, etc. I believe that they thought of everything. We can't wait to go back.
