About this property

Romantic Rockport Retreat with Scenic Coastal Views at The Crows Nest

Enjoy views of the ocean and the amazing coastal breezes or air conditioned for those hot summer nights. This unit sleeps 2 people max. Adorned with many skylights to provide lots of natural light and enhance the panoramic views ( for those tall enough) of Bearskin neck and White wharf. This historic building is loaded with character, slanty floors and one of a kind features that surely will make a memorable experience.

The apartment is set up as a studio style with a kitchenette (no range). Guests are forewarned, access to the unit requires navigating up multiple flights of stairs which in areas are narrow.

There are 2 queen beds, a full bath, a breakfast bar with 3 seats, a living room area with a couch and arm chair. 7 Skylights and french doors allow air to flow making you feel like you are out on the water!
The kitchenette is minimal.

Kitchenette: its minimal. There is a microwave, a coffee maker, a smaller refridgerator/freezer, and sink. Its not made for cooking, but warming up meals or enjoying some hour de vous before dining on the town. Pull up a chair and enjoy your incredible views of white wharf's iconic harbor.


Bearskin Neck is truly a wonderful place. Shops, galleries, restaurants, and a short walk to beaches. Once you park your car, you won't want to leave. Everything is steps away!

Our stay was fabulous!

The Crows Nest is an open, bright comfortable loft. The views from every angle were breathtaking. The location was perfect for shopping, dining, beach going, and relaxing.

Location is AMAZING! Apartment is spacious, clean and has all you need and more. The only issue we had was we needed to request more toilet paper as we stayed 5 days and 1 roll was not enough for us. Highly recommend! We will definitely stay here again.

Perfect cozy nest by the sea!

The loft is historic and beautifully done. Very comfortable, and the location is central to everything in Rockport. I walked 15 minutes from the commuter rail station and didn't have a car, and had no problems. Lots of convenient amenities like toiletries and coffee provided. Love the skylight windows that provide both light and a nice breeze

The loft was as advertised. As an older couple (53,62) the only thing we found to our displeasure was the TV. Unless you had your own streaming apps and knew your passwords you were not watching much.

Stunning Nest with Wonderful Views

The care the owners took in turning the Crow's Nest into a breathtaking retreat is evident in so many ways, from the blend of the old beams and floor to the very modern decor and amenities. There's a lovely feel of being high above Bearskin Neck with views out the generous windows and skylights. Truly a special place to soak up the true Rockport experience. Though the kitchen is described as minimal, we found it had everything anyone would need. There is a wide open, spacious feel to the whole place and it might be noted that there is not a bedroom per se, but rather 2 queen beds tucked under the eaves; some might find it difficult to sleep two people comfortably in either bed. Overall a delicious experience!
