Our stay could not have been better! We mainly made the long trip so we could visit Salem during October, but had the most fun while we were at the beach house. My kids, ages 20 and 8, enjoyed relaxing at the house and exploring the beach. We also had fun visiting Rockport. We did not want to leave!

We had an absolutely lovely stay on Long Beach, it certainly wasn't swimming temps but walking down to the beach for sunrise and for the kids to beachcomb during the day was so lovely. We took advantage of the train from Gloucester to the October chaos that is Salem and appreciated the convenience of this with the beauty of the beach a perfect stay. The house was spotless and very comfortable for our group of 6. The outdoor areas are wonderful and comfortable as well. We definitely hope to be return renters!

Cute, quiet vacation

Spring break spent here was one we will not forget. Exploring different beaches, trying new restaurants, tracking down lighthouses, walking Halibut Point State Park, and Bearskin Neck were only a few of our favorite things. Diane was a lovely host, had some great recommendations, and was quick to respond and show up for us when we need her assistance with a spare key! We cannot wait to return!

It was the perfect place to stay on our visit to Celebrate Halloween and fall in Salem. It was steps away from the ocean and we could hear the waves crashing from the windows.

Adorable Beach House a Must Stay

The adorable beach house was the perfect place to spend the weekend and we wouldnt hesitate to go back. The house was clean and fully stocked with anything we could need from kitchen amenities to comfortable beach chairs. With just steps away from the beach it was convenient and was also very relaxing to sit on the porch and hear the waves crash at night. The owner was easy to communicate with and truly cared if we enjoyed our stay. We definitely recommend booking.

During our brief stay, the property lived up to its description! The property owner was kind and readily available to assist with any inquiries. The outdoor area was spacious and had everything we required. The outdoor shower is always a fantastic addition to any beach house!

Stayed at Diane’s cute cottage for a girl’s trip. Everything was wonderful! We even met a friendly neighbor that gave us a bunch of great tips for the local area. Easy train ride into Salem and Boston. We appreciated the board games, which we played at night while drinking wine and listening to the ocean.

Reminiscent of my childhood

We picked this cottage because my nana used to rent it when I was a kid. It brought back such happy childhood memories. Perfect for 4 people. It was me my husband and my dad. We could hear the ocean from the porch and is a great beach. We grilled one night and made spaghetti the other night and of course had to go into rockport to shop.

Exceptional!

A lovely cottage in the most beautiful setting! The house was perfectly appointed with everything you would need for a fun, relaxing, comfortable beach vacation! We are a family of 4 (2 teenagers) that stayed for a week. Don't let the size of the house deter you from booking! With 2 decks and a screen porch, the house plays bigger than it would seem. Plenty of space and the proximity to the beach was wonderful! You can hear the waves from the deck! Owners were available and attentive with any questions or needs. Wonderful stay in wonderful Rockport!!
