The house was tidy, and in a fantastic location. It be hard to find a better view for the week. Would definitely go back again.
We loved this cute little beach house with fabulous ocean views. Had everything we needed for our off season (November) beach vacation. My favorite feature was the large kitchen table in front of a wall of windows with an ocean view. The beach here is great for walks and there were plenty of rocks for the kids to climb on. A short drive into town for shopping and eating.

Beach house
We had a wonderful time. The house had everything we needed. Beautiful view. Close to Shaws supermarket and Common Crow which is a small market that has already prepared healthy meals. I loved shopping at Common Crow. Short drive to the wharf where all the really cute shops are. If you are a knitter like me go check out Hooked which carries so many wonderful yarns and the owner is great. I would definitely come back to stay At this property

Wonderful Long Beach vacation
My family visits Long Beach every summer. This was the first time we stayed oceanfront and we could not have been happier. The location is PERFECT; falling asleep to the sound of the waves was amazing, the views were breathtaking, and the access to the beach was incredible. It's hard to find a 4-bedroom house that feels spacious; this home was just what we needed. Rachel was an extremely communicative host. Check in was simple and the handbook for the home came in very handy. (perhaps a printed copy left at the house would be helpful for those of us trying to stay off our devices :) Dishwasher and laundry were very helpful, as was the outdoor shower and the shed with tons of beach gear! Neighbors were all very kind. A note that you do have to pay for parking for the week (per car), which is an added expense. We would have loved three things: (1) recycling - we are very conscious of global footprint and know that Rockport has a wonderful recycling facility, (2) a little more love to the outdoor space - the neighboring yards are lovely and it wouldn't take much to add some color to this space, (3) a fire pit or solo stove for outside - we would have enjoyed sitting around a fire when the sun went down as many do on this stretch. Thanks for everything and we hope to be back next summer!

Ocean Bliss
I have been coming to this beach for the last 15 summers. This is the first time we booked Rachel's house. It was perfect. It was spacious enough to accommodate 4 of us. We had everything we needed. Check in and communication was efficient and easy. The kitchen was well stocked, even coffee. The best part was sitting on the deck and watching the world go by, listening to the ocean waves while you sleep.
We will be back.......

We absolutely loved our accommodations! The cottage was very comfortable and met 4 women's needs perfectly. Bedrooms were comfortable, kitchen was sufficient, bathrooms and showers had plenty of hot water . We loved sitting on the deck overlooking the ocean every day. Communication with hosts was seamless and respone immediate. We needed 2 screens fixed and this was dealt with right away, Alex was terrific! At this moment, we are all missing being there.

Great location and amazing views!
My family had a blast here, despite it being fall in New England (I can only imagine how great this would be during the summer). The house was great, the views were amazing, and the beach was only steps away. We fell asleep to the sound of the waves and woke up every day to watch the sunrise. This is a perfect spot for families/groups.

We had a wonderful time! The cottage is bright and spacious and very homey and well appointed. Each bedroom was equipped with individual air conditioners. The beds were very comfy There are awesome beach views with lots of windows and very easy access to the beach and ocean. There was plenty of free parking. Close enough to either Rockport or Gloucester. The cottage met all of our requirements- single story , 4 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath, inside laundry, well equipped kitchen, on the beach, ample parking !! A must to visit !

the location is absolutely beautiful and lovely. new housekeepers so minor adjustments needed, with immediate and complete satisfaction, thank you Rachel, your time and attention was perfect. I would suggest to have a few fans for the common areas for the hot days, but no problem, there was a ceiling fan. AC in all bedrooms, lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this VRBO, thank you so much for having us, hope to return next year, thank you, Susan

Beautiful View
We loved the view and access to the beach. We did have to wipe a few things down when we arrived. The ceiling fan needed a new battery. I wish the bedrooms had ceiling fans and the windows opened. These we easily overlooked to have the ocean in front of us. It was a 60-second walk to the beach. The host, Rebecca, was great at answering all our questions. We would come back again. Thank you.

Amazing beach house!
This house was perfect for a girls weekend (seven of us stayed comfortably). Both the house and location are absolutely stunning. You can walk right outside to the beach or hang out on the deck and listen to the waves. The beach is private so it's not crowded at all. We also enjoyed driving a few minutes into town and checking out the shops and sights and having a lovely dinner. I highly recommend staying here!
