My husband's family has taken a summer vacation in Rockport nearly every year since the late 1950s. When "the boys" (my husband and his brother) were young, they would rent a house. Later, as the family grew, they/we stayed in hotels. Within the past five years or so, we've reverted to house rentals. Now that I am the family "matriarch," I plan our getaways. Our stay at The Nest was hands-down the best that I can remember. (I've been part of this tradition for more than 30 years.) The location, Pigeon Cove, is our favorite part of Rockport. (We spent many years at the Emerson when it was owned by the Weymusses and later, the Coateses.)
The house itself is charming -- vintage New England, but brought entirely up-to-date with tech, HVAC, finishes, etc. Lisa and Wei seem to have thought of everything (appliances, dishware, cookware, spare blankets/towels) -- there's even a sweet "secret room" for little ones, stocked with toys, books, blankets -- everything a toddler might want. And talk about books! The selection of titles, on shelves throughout the house, is a book lover's dream.
Thank you, Lisa and Wei. We hope to visit The Nest again next year.
