About this property

Situated at the front right corner of the semi-circle of Rocky Shores cottages, Cottage 19 is private and quiet, but close enough to the beaches and downtown Rockport, Massachusetts to let you enjoy the surrounding area from your serene home base.

The cottage's two bedrooms sleep four comfortably. The master bedroom features a full-size pillow-top bed, while the second bedroom has a 'day bed' with a separate trundle that is used to sleep two separately. The cottage is simply and tastefully decorated, and very clean.

The cottage's bathroom was renovated in 2011 and features a full shower; the kitchen has with a full-size refrigerator, microwave, stove/oven, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, and dining table.

The natural wood floors were refinished in 2013, and the windows were replaced in 2015.

When you're not gazing out at the sea and the Thacher Island Twin Lighthouses from the patio or the living area, you can enjoy the cable HDTV or use the DVD player.

The heart of Rockport is bustling Bearskin Neck, where you can find shops, galleries and restaurants to suit just about every taste and whim. The Shao Lin Performance Center is a new addition to Rockport and features performances by nationally- and internationally-known artists in a beautiful setting.

If you have the urge to visit a more cosmopolitan area, Boston is a one-hour train ride away (the train stops at the depot location less than a half mile from Bearskin Neck).

Most people find that the history and culture of the North Shore offer numerous activities for all ages, but simply sitting outside the cottage and enjoying the view is guaranteed to provide a wonderful opportunity to relax and replenish!

Note: Although we are pet lovers (and owners), we do not allow pets in the cottage.

Lovely spot, a few problems

The location is beautiful—and the view. The cottage is comfortable and has everything needed. Doors need to be fixed and locks/latches replaced. The middle bedroom door latch is broken and the door cannot be closed. The front door lock needs to be fiddled with repeatedly before the key will turn. The back door is "not to be used" at all, and this is a fire hazard. Also, instead of surge protectors for the few outlets in the bedrooms and living room, there are lots of multi-plugs and extension cords—could be a fire hazard, along with the back door that mustn't be opened. The owner needs to take better care of the cottage.

Great stay

We were looking for something quiet and easy and found it. Great beach access and views from the cabin. The neighborhood was also quiet, which we appreciated. We would love to stay here again.

Safe and clean

For the second year in a row we had a relaxing and comfortable stay at “number 19”. This year was, of course, a bit different but we felt safe in the clean environment of the cottage.

Wonderful cottage looking out at Thacher Island. It’s a quick 5-minute walk to Loblolly Cove which is perfect for early morning coffee, reading, ocean therapy and beach glass. Thank you Gail and Kathy!

Rockport relaxation

What a wonderful stay we had! Hostesses were friendly, helpful and accommodating. We appreciated the checkin phone call and the brochures and literature to help us acclimate to the towns many attractions and eateries. Cottage was clean and neat. It was easy to unpack and move right in. Loved how peaceful it was at night and the view was amazing! Easy walk to a pebbly beach where many treasures were to be found. Cottage was well appointed and our four person family found no problems finding personal corners when necessary or gathering for family time in the sitting area or on the patio. We would be happy to stay there again.

Nice towels but not happy with condition of cottage

Very disappointed with condition of cottage. First impression upon arrival; screen door and glass panes on front door, dirty. Spent flowers in window boxes; we actually removed them so it would look nicer. Grill unusable; very dirty and old. We do not plan to return to this cottage.

Peaceful and Charming

This was a perfect cottage for a fantastic getaway! Windows and doors opened welcomed the breezes and sounds of the ocean! The perfect home base for exploring all of Cape Ann during the day and so peaceful in the evening. I can’t wait to come back and stay again!!

Wonderful Cottage

We had a very enjoyable time at the cottage. Sitting outside on a warm October night is great enough but the view of twin lights was amazing as well as the extra surprise of watching a cruise ship come by. The cottage has everything we needed for a great weekend. We walked to the beach and hiked around the beautiful area. The towns of Rockport and Gloucester were great to explore. Would love to go back and explore some more. We also were about 20 miles from Salem where we spent a great day but were happy to get back to our peaceful cottage.

This place is à very good spot in Rockport. The view to the sea is magnificent.

The place is à bit small for 4 adults. There is not enough room to put all our things for a whole week. The beds were really confortable and clean.

Cottage # 19 @ Rocky Shores

We make a annual visit to Rockport for a family reunion. For the past 10 years I have stayed in cottage # 19 at Rocky Shores. The Lob Lolly location is beautiful and peaceful with an amazing view of Thatcher Island .The cottage is cozy and clean with comfortable beds and beautiful breezes. We are already looking forward to next year and our next stay in cottage # 19. Our experiences here at Rocky Shores # 19 have been consistently wonderful we would not think of staying elsewhere !!! See you in 2018!

Cosy and comfortable

We have been coming to this property for a long time. The current owners have made some nice improvements, including new windows and a walk in shower. Clean and neat, it's a comfortable, albeit cosy, place to stay.

Loved our stay

Stayed at the cottage for a few days with family, we totally enjoyed our stay. It was clean and quite. Only fall back was there was no wifi, which my daughter wasn't thrilled about, but the adults had no issue. Wish it was easier to contact owner so we could book again for next year.

Wonderful and quaint!

Upon arrival my immediate thoughts were, "the pictures don't do it justice". The cottage was very cute and cozy. Exactly what we were looking for. I was impressed with how well kept it was. I had also had discussions with the owner before hand. She was very nice and helpful with our stay. She was also easily accessible via email to answer all of my questions right away! The view was phenomenal! It was an easy walk to the cove and around the area. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay that is easy to get in and out of..... I recommend this place!

Sehr ruhig und schoener Ausblick

Das Cottage liegt sehr ruhig, abseits der Strasse. Vom Wohnzimmer hat man einen wunderschoenen Blick auf eine Insel mit zwei Leuchttuermen. Es ist einfach, aber gemuetlich eingerichtet. Die Betten / Matratzen waren bequem und es gab genuegend Handtuecher. Das Haus war sehr sauber.

Rockport is fabulous-friendly shopkeepers and great selection of goods. Ellen's Harborside restaurant - exceptionally good food at good prices. Top Dog - amazing hot dogs!
