A comfortable and cozy place with everything you would need from bathroom amenities to all of the kitchen essentials and then some. Frank and Sally (and their dog Macaroon) were friendly and helpful. Will hopefully stay there again.

A gem on the New England coast

This is a fantastic cottage close to the center of Rockport. The accommodations were excellent and the hosts could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Our only regret was that the trip was so short. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and would recommend it to everyone

Cozy Winter Weekend

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day long weekend. Accomodations were beyond perfect, parlor stove is a welcome cozy treat for a winter evening. Rockport has plenty to offer visitors in the winter, although the studio is so comfortable its just as nice to lounge around. Special thank you too the hosts for making us feel so welcome and comfortable.

Restful and relaxing

We were there in part for our wedding anniversary but mostly, we needed a vacation. The owners are lovely people. While we were there, we were able to sleep in when we wanted. It also was conveniently located so we could explore Cape Ann, visit Plumb Island and other towns in between. There were also a great variety of restaurants to choose from. Thanks Sally & Frank!

Long Weekend on Cape Ann

Visiting the area for a family celebration and enjoyed staying in this adorable cottage. Views were spectacular and the amenities were plentiful. The Murphy bed was very comfortable. While our visit was short, this property is fully stocked for a longer stay. The property owners were very attentive, making sure all of our needs were met. Definitely recommend for any length of stay.

Fantastic stay!

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Sally and Francis’ studio. It was just perfect. The owners thought of every detail, even baking us an anniversary cake (which was delicious). The property is immaculate and comfortable, and the deck is amazing. We had such a fabulous stay for our anniversary. Thank you again, Pam & Doug.

Bliss by the Ocean

Sally May, Frank and their puppy Macaroon are wonderful hosts! They really make your stay top notch. The recommendations on restaurants was fantastic, the studio was extremely clean and well stocked. They really anticipated their guests needs. Location is the perfect spot, right near Rockport and a short drive into Gloucester. Opening the curtains to a beautiful sunrise really makes the stay very serene!

Perfect for me over the holidays. Hey, Rockport is great in the winter and this place made it more so. Great place and owners who added some lovely holiday touches. Sally was very helpful and went out of her way to quickly send me shoes which I left at the rental. 5 stars for cozy, charmingly decorated space, great location easy walk to Rockport Center and Halibut State Park , and kind and considerate owners.

If you’re staying in the area, this is your place! Sally and Frank have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and convenient. They were very thoughtful with everything they have set up. They also offered great recommendations for where to go in the area. They’re wonderful hosts! The house itself is great! It’s super clean and well stocked with anything you’ll need, including a view of the water right from the deck. It was very hard to leave!

Perfect!

Motif #2 was wonderful! The space is good for a couple, and we were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. Sally May and Frank were perfect hosts. The studio had everything we needed and more for our three night stay. Lots of sunshine during the day and quiet at night. The mattress was the best we’ve ever slept on!

Nice easy “time off”

It was so easy to arrange this stay. Sally and Frank made it so accommodating; the place has everything you need. I loved the little touches like a vase of fresh flowers. Down the street are beautiful beaches, fresh seafood restaurants, and the best doughnuts ever (Brothers Brew). Also down the street is the Shalin Liu Performance Center - the stage is against a picture window to the water! I will be back. Sally and Frank made this adventure easy with their info and help.

Motif #2⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a wonderful week at Motif#2! Sally and Frank were fantastic hosts from our arrival through departure. They are a kind, friendly, thoughtful and energetic couple who love hosting and make every effort to assure their guests have excellent accommodations and service when needed. The free standing studio is a former artist’s space located on a large, well landscaped, and flower abundant property. The large studio was beautifully renovated with new skylights,, lots of windows, and a huge deck with lovely wicker furniture facing the ocean. The studio is brightnand airy and includes a modern and well appointed bathroom; very comfortable queen bed; well situated TV and reading sitting area area with couch and chairs; and kitchenette. with an antique table and lovely dishes etc. The exterior of the studio is made of newer barn like materials, setting the tone for an enchanting ambiance. The interior decor, bedding, bathroom and kitchen materials are all high quality and comfortable for all occasions from eating, relaxing, reading, and Netflix etc. to getting a great night’s sleep. Weather drinking your morning coffee or unwinding with a glass of wine before dinner, the deck is perfect and offers a view of the ocean.! It was a joy to stay on this special property and enjoy all that Rockport and Cape Ann have to offer. We hope to return to this wonderful, 5 star lodging with outstanding hosts.

Home away from home 3

I can't express how wonderful everything about this trip was. From walking in and being greeted by Sally (and Macaroon!) like an old friend, to how comfy and cozy (and wonderfully stocked!) the place is, to all the attractions that are close by (Halibut Point State Park, downtown rockport, gloucester, etc.), this is an excellent choice to feel like you're home away from home. Thank you so much, Sally and Frank 3
