Oceanfront Cottage - Long Beach

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Come and get away from it all at this beautiful beachfront property in Rockport, where you'll be mere steps from the open, sandy expanse of Long Beach! Let the sights and sounds of the Atlantic Ocean wash away your stresses as you take long morning walks along the paved seawall and spend your days exploring the charming artist's colony of Rockport. Each evening, wind down on the porch as you luxuriate in the salty ocean air.

This home sits right on the ocean in the middle of uncrowded Long Beach, four miles south of the center of downtown Rockport. Browse the charming shops on Bearskin Neck in town, or head three miles west to hop a whale-watching cruise in Gloucester (this area is home to multiple species of whales, including humpback and finback whales that come to New England to feed with their calves). Visit historic Thatcher Island, spend your days playing tennis, and enjoy some of the freshest seafood you'll find anywhere.

Beach house
The property for what we were looking for with our adult children and grandchildren. Adequate space and accommodations for 10. Beach right out your front door, couldn’t be better and it didn’t hurt that the weather was perfect! All amenities were great with a well stocked kitchen and fantastic dining table with plenty of seating! Would highly recommend and hoping to possibly rent again next year !

Great location, but not clean
Great location overlooking the beach. However, the cleanliness of the rental was not what we expected. The refrigerator was dirty, there was mold in both showers, the sheets had sand and grass in them, and there were mice in the kitchen.

Not clean:(
The location was awesome. The cleanliness of the house was awful. The sheets were not clean so we had to strip the beds and wash and dry the sheets before we could go to bed that evening. The floors had sand on them, the house was dusty, there was no hairdryer (we had to buy one), the iron did not work, we were told there were four beach chairs (we could not find them) and one of the showers had someone’s personal razor and soap container in it.

We had a fabulous time here. Everyone loved being right on the ocean. We required a place with 7 separate beds and this filled that need. Would have been nice to have a bathroom on the upstairs but we managed.

Great location
The property is clean, pleasant and RIGHT on the beach, close to everything. My only complaint was that it was so hot no one could sleep upstairs the first night. Fortunately, Chastity, the property manager, brought a large portable AC unit that cooled everything down. She was AWESOME! I would definitely stay again.

Amazing location
This property is right on the ocean, spectacular view, beautiful sunrise, friendly neighbors and peaceful atmosphere. The house does have two bathrooms but neither is located upstairs where the majority of the bedrooms are. This is a problem since the staircase could be hazardous at night. Lacks a fully stocked kitchen if you intend to cook your meals at home. In general, this home could use a major update. The owners might consider keeping up with their investment as the location is amazing and the home should be better cared for. For example, the lovely windows facing the ocean should be cleaned regularly. Perhaps if a local person were to manage this property instead of a corporation the owner and the renters would be better served. All in all, we truly enjoyed our visit to Long Beach.

Perfect Location on Long Beach, Rockport, MA
Situated among a line of beachfront homes, this property is somewhat rustic but very charming! My family (6 adults and 2 grand children) stayed here for a week in September and were very comfortable. The check-in process was seamless, everything was clean, the neighbors were friendly and the view of the Atlantic was absolutely spectacular! The only small issue we had, was there seems to be no routine trash pickup at this location but I called Vacasa and the trash was removed within a couple of hours. We would definitely stay here again - highly recommended!

Good location, Average house
Location-awesome House- very outdated One thing I really hated was kitchen was like a clearance rack at home goods. Utensils without lids, No big utensils. What was there was ancient rusted ones.We planned to cook some food and really struggled with it.

Wait for It
This property was not in renting order when it was listed. We had to contend with partial bedrooms, dirty floors/curtains, broken doors, stained bedding, beach chairs under the house through an unlit dirt crawlspace. Very Dated. It has not been brought up to potential yet.
