Walk to Salem Train, Rockport Beaches & Shops – 3BR, AC, Parking

Just an hour from Boston, this classic New England cottage puts you in the heart of Rockport.

Stroll to Front and Back Beaches, grab an ice cream on Bearskin Neck, or walk to the Rockport commuter rail station and take it straight to the heart of Salem for easy access to all the Halloween fun—no traffic or parking stress. You can even stay on the train and head into Boston—totally hassle-free!

Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliances, central A/C, and blazing-fast Wi-Fi (500 Mbps). The layout includes one queen bedroom downstairs, plus a queen and full bed upstairs. We’ve got everything covered: towels, linens, and a washer/dryer — all ready for your stay.

You're also just a short drive to Halibut Point or Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester. Whether you're tide pooling, gallery hopping, or just relaxing with your pup (we’re pet-friendly!), this is the ideal North Shore escape.

PLEASE NOTE:
1. The stairs to the second floor are steep and may not be suitable for guests with mobility concerns.
2. The home is located on a small town main road, and some vehicle noise may be heard indoors.
3. The upstairs bedrooms connect through open doorways—there are no doors, but the rooms are offset, so there’s no direct line of sight and both feel private. Great for families or close friends.
4. The twin bedroom also contains the washer and dryer. It’s a private first-floor room with a door—great for a child, teen, or solo guest.

Great place in Rockport.

We have stayed at six different places in Rockport, and this set up is the best. Great host with a well equipped home, good location, short, walk into town, and good parking. Thanks for having us.

We had a very enjoyable visit. The welcome package was well used and enjoyed. The one bathroom was workable but rough on people sleeping on the second floor. Overall, the 4 of us enjoyed the house.

Great property!

We stayed here for a couple of weeks while our house renovation was being completed nearby. The property is wonderful, clean, spacious, and well equipped. Being locals, I can say it is in a very central area, with easy access to downtown Rockport, the train to Boston, and the beach. Erin the owner was wonderful to work with. We would recommend this property to anyone wishing to enjoy the beauty of Cape Ann!

Quick getaway

My husband and I wanted to go Whale Watching so we booked Erin’s house. The house was Perfect….warm, welcoming and so comfortable. Erin gave great ideas for where to go, what to do. Unfortunately a storm prohibited us from whale watching but we loved touring around Rockport, Gloucester and Salem. Definitely a great weekend

Cute and quaint house with a pretty backyard. So close to town and the train, as well as the beach. The kitchen was really well equipped and you can easily cook a big meal, plus there is a grill in the backyard. The host was fantastic about communicating with me when I left something behind. Highly recommend this comfy home.

Lovely property with everything you could need. Location was great- 10 min walk to beach, 15 min walk to shops. Unfortunately construction across street was a bit loud but we were out most days. Really enjoyed our stay.

The Perfect Oasis

The location of this house was perfect for the slower paced vacation we were hoping for traveling with a toddler. We were able to easily walk down to Front beach, Bearskin Neck, and many excellent restaurants and shops. It was also a short drive away from having awesome day trips to Ipswich, Gloucester, and even Salem. For those who love to visit in larger towns and cities, but prefer to unwind and relax outside of them, this location was absolutely perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better place, location, or host. We look forward to staying again!

Lovely Rockport!

The home is absolutely lovely! Very spacious for 5 adults. The updated kitchen has anything you would possibly need for “stay in” meals. The gas grill has all the utensils too. Bedrooms are spacious in size. The bathroom is gorgeous with a nice walk in shower! The outdoor back patio is perfect for an afternoon read or cocktails outside. We loved the walk ability to Rockport beaches, village and Bearskins Neck. Check in very easy too!

We had a wonderful week

The house was clean, well equipped and convenient to nearby attractions in Rockport and Gloucester. Front Beach is a beautiful spot and less than half-a-mile away. The backyard is larger than it looks in the pictures and very private. There are plenty of beach chairs and towels. The spacious kitchen is well equipped and includes ample seating for dining at the table and breakfast bar. The washer and dryer are quiet and efficient. My wife, dog and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Another great stay at this house!

We stayed at this house for a week in summer 2021 and I was eager to rebook it for our trip to Rockport this year! We stayed 10 nights and loved every minute of it—just like last time! I travel with my kids (12&14) and it is such a perfect location. We walk into town multiple times a day (the Mill Pond and cemetery path is our favorite!). The beds are very comfortable and the house offers all the amenities you could need. I can’t tell you how amazing it is to put on a few of the provided backpack beach chairs, pack a cooler, and walk 5 minutes to the beach—avoiding the hassle and costs of traffic and beach parking! The kids are already planning our next stay at this property! Erin is a friendly and quick communicator as well.

Wonderful place!

This property is as advertised...clean, private, safe. Short walk to the beach and the shops of downtown Rockport, train station is a 2 minute walk. There were three adults in our party but room for two couples and two singles - more space than we needed. Every item and supply you might want for a day at the beach or cooking a meal was provided. Would recommend and stay again!

Better than First Time!!!

Our second stay at this perfect family house was magnificent! We literally felt as comfortable as if we were home. We cook virtually all our meals. The kitchen couldn’t have been better prepared. While not huge , the house offers privacy alongside family gathering spaces simultaneously. Great stay!

Perfect getaway for a family!

We were thrilled with everything offered at this property. Short walk to beach and town, ice cream store practically next door, plenty of space for all and a backyard to sit back and relax. It was clean and communicating with the owner was seamless. They even left a welcome gift! So grateful to have this time as a family in the perfect home.

Adorable home within walking distance to downtown!

Myself and my two school aged children spent a week here and enjoyed ourselves so much! We walked into Rockport multiple times a day to go to the beach, for meals, to shop, etc. The house is in such a great location. We all agreed the beds were extremely comfortable and the rest of the home was everything we needed. Neighborhood was quiet and friendly. We would easily choose to stay here again! The owner, Erin, was lovely to communicate with. I had to re-schedule our reservation last year due to Covid, and she was happy to book us under new dates and answered any questions I had!
