About this property
Quaint Simplicity on Quiet Lane, Spacious and Relaxing, Walk to Shops, Beaches
This peaceful location on a quiet lane just outside of Rockport's downtown offers an easy place from which to enjoy the best that this world-renowned sea-side art colony has to offer. Beaches, shops, art galleries, restaurants, and Rockport Harbor are all just a five-minute walk from your door.
A five minute walk takes you directly into the heart of Rockport's downtown, full of art galleries, quaint shops, restaurants, and home of the Rockport Chamber Music Festival and Rockport Art Association. Boat tours leave regularly from two wharves, and you can rent sea kayaks, go deep sea-fishing, or climb the rocks at the end of Bearskin Neck and watch the sun set over the harbor and the famous Motif #1 fishing shack.
The same short walk brings you to Front Beach, with its fine swimming and scenic views of Rockport's coastline for adults, and gradual slope and tidepools that delight children. Along the way you will pass the lane leading to Millbrook Meadow, an oasis-like park with a pond, waterfall, babbling brook, and large lawn with swings and slide.

About the host
Hosted by P. Squires
We still enjoy using our summer house on and off throughout the year, and are happy to make it available to other families when we're not there. Our children were lucky to grow up spending their summers at Front Beach and enjoying the ice cream and candy shops throughout downtown Rockport. The jar of beach glass on our family room mantle contains layers of memories collected each summer during their childhood!
Why they chose this property
When we found this house, we almost couldn't believe our luck at the location. While just a simple 5 minute stroll into town and to Front Beach, it is situated on a quiet private lane with virtually no traffic. It has a good sized yard, and some conservation land directly behind it. We have convenience to everything downtown Rockport offers, yet quiet and privacy with a safe place for our children to play.
What makes this property unique
As mentioned above, we are very centrally located, yet we have space and privacy to relax and for our children to be outdoors.
