Summary: The location and old house is all about the feeling of place. I am an artist that used to live in the srea.
Kristin B. Nov 11, 2024 11:12:40 PM
Summary: Perfect for large groups. The view and location are very special. And the home is charming and historic. Love this place!
Judith L. Nov 11, 2024 11:09:36 PM
Summary: Watching the sunrise from the dining room or sunroom sipping your coffee was an awesome breathtaking experience. We were in town for a family wedding and truly appreciated finding a home that accommodated a large group , plenty of seating … we were able to all sit in the dining room and even made a puzzle during our stay. We enjoyed the character of this older home .
Kimberley B. Oct 31, 2024 09:17:21 PM
Summary: The house is roomy, well stocked, has plenty of seating for dinners and get togethers. The three and a half bathrooms are a plus! . But that view of the ocean! That makes everything else seem pale in comparison. You literally walk out of the back door and see the most spectacular site! Rocky beach and ocean just right there. The owner is gracious and accommodating. We will definitely be back!
Julia M. Oct 28, 2024 10:49:13 PM
Summary: We all absolutely loved this home. It was the coziest place we have ever stayed. And the location and view were unbelievable, being right on the coast. We read the reviews ahead of time and knew it was an older home, which added to the charm for us. Would definitely stay here again.
Brian H. Oct 5, 2024 06:28:27 AM
Summary: A long family weekend with the kids, grandkids and dogs. This is a big, old, house with plenty of room for everyone. The sun porch was a great gathering and craft area for everyone. Right on the ocean with direct access. The kids had plenty of places to explore. If you are looking for a new shiny house, look somewhere else This place has a lot of age, wear and tear. The internet does not work and has been reported before. Several people that had to work remote were not happy about it
Mark W. Sep 27, 2024 03:15:40 AM
Summary: Just finished 3 night stay with 5 old golfing friends. This stunning fully equipped and spacious house is surpassed only by its setting. Step out the back enclosed porch, cross the lawn and take a seat on the granite wall. Rockport’s Twin Lights to the right, coast of Maine to the left and the Azores straight ahead beyond the ceasing surf
Claire S. Sep 12, 2024 10:23:33 PM
Summary: Previous reviews, positive and negative, were both pretty accurate to our experience. Overall, we had a great stay. I do not think we would return, though. The good: fantastic location, gorgeous yard, lots of space, beds were comfortable, the house had clearly been recently superficially cleaned (carpets vacuumed, stove cleaned). The bed linen and towels were all pristine. The bad: as others state, the house is old and worn; wallpaper is peeling, there are water stains on ceilings, etc. We expected this and found it mostly charming. But we were uncomfortable with non-superficial lack of cleanliness in the setting of having kids there-- there were huge cobwebs/dust bunnies in every (nonworking, open) fireplace, years-old bags of white powder (pesticides?) on bookcases, visible mold on more than half of the couch cushions. Overall I would just read the reviews and know yourself-- if you are non-fussy adults, this place will probably be amazing for you. The location can't be beat and it's highly functional. But if you like clean spaces and/or have kids who like to play/explore all of the corners, you should skip it. I don't think we would book this again unless we were prepared to start the vacation by doing some cleaning/prep ourselves, bring clean throw blankets to put over the couches, etc.

Summary: We had a great week, the yard, beach and ocean are amazing. The sunroom, with the exception of at least one broken chair, is a lovely place to sit and take in the view. I was there with my 3 20-something year old kids so the outdated decor wasn’t totally off-putting but the house could use some TLC: wallpaper peeling, old chairs, old fridge. We were surprised to find that the ocean-front, beachfront house had no access to a swimming beach. That should be posted clearly in the rental information. WiFi needs to be upgraded. All of that to say, we were close enough to drive into Rockport and Gloucester and we took some nice walks. Quiet neighborhood, very private. Vacasa staff was very helpful when we ran out of propane. They brought us a new tank the next day and cleaned the grill. Very helpful!

Summary: Amazing location. The house is as pictured and described and very clean.
