New Year's Wedding

Well situated- walking distance from the ocean. This home suited our needs perfectly. Plenty of room for 6 adults with lots of stuff to do. The owners were responsive to our questions, Other than a snafu getting into the home, everything else went well.

Special place

This is truly a very special house. It is more spacious than it looks and is full of wonderful nooks and crannies to explore. My grandchildren and my cocker spaniel loved it. I would happily spend summers there if I could. Morning walks to town and the beach were amazing. The back room was our favourite with the natural light. It had everything we needed and would highly recommend it. There are some narrow stairways but even those with issues managed fine, using the wider stairs at the front of the house.

Partridge House

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was just wonderful. It was a Home that we could imagine Fisherman or lobster man and their family living. The property was advertised as just steps from beaches and shops and it was true we walked downTown to the shops and to the beaches. The streets and the beaches were clean and well manicured. The shops were wonderful all in all we had a great time and look forward to returning.

About the host

Hosted by Andy Bennett and Dorothy Shamonsky

Dorothy and Andy are looking forward to providing a great place to stay when visiting Cape Ann and Rockport.

Andy is an Architect who works in Boston. Dorothy is a UX Designer. We are both MIT alums and we have three daughters in their 20s, all of whom have contributed in creating the Partridge House experience.

Why they chose this property

The house is on one of the original streets with a great variety of house styles. The mix of the old and new in Partridge House, albeit eclectic, is in keeping with the Rockport atmosphere. The house is just far enough away from busy downtown to feel relaxed, yet close enough for a quick jaunt to get into the midst of the town's attractions. We've already met many of our neighbors and the connections are beginning to strengthen our love for this town. We are enthusiastic about our place and look forward to nurturing its unique qualities.
