Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Wendy Lawton

I grew up spending summer vacations in Rockport in a rustic family cottage owned by my grandparents. Now years later I enjoy watching my grandchildren explore the same rocks and tidepools that facinated me as a child. I am a retired science teacher who loves to spend the summer months meeting new people and sharing my love for Rockport with my guests.
Why they chose this property
I love having a unique home in the historic district and especially the extensive gardens which are a constant work in progress with changing color throughout the summer months. I love that the beach is just a few 100 yards away and can be enjoyed on an early morning stroll or afternoon swim. Our property offers the best location in town and the warmth and charm of a private home where you can enjoy the yard, outdoor shower after the beach, reading in the garden, people watching from the front second story porch and easy access to all that Cape Ann has to offer. You will enjoy the feeling of privacy that comes with a residential property that larger motels and inns cannot offer.
What makes this property unique
Traveling with friends? We also offer additional guest rooms on the top floor. Two guest rooms are available each with a double bed. The floor is private for your party whether you book one or two rooms. Great option for small family gatherings that afford private sleeping options along with gathering places and outdoor picnic area.
Our private yard and garden area offer a peaceful get-away from tourist crowds and a homey place to enjoy a BBQ meal.
