"Adorable bungalow high on a hill overlooking the beautiful twin lighthouses on Thacher Island. The bathroom is a bit tight but otherwise a very nice spot in arguably the most scenic section of Rockport. Walking distance to several beaches and pretty Loblolly Cove. Loved it!"

"From the moment we booked, the host was welcoming & gracious. We loved our stay in this charming cottage. The cottage is lovely, clean, comfortable, & spacious. Perfect quiet location, walkable to Rockport Village's galleries, restaurants, shops, parks, ocean & beaches. Would definitely stay here again in the future. Highly recommend."

"Cottage was very nice and it had everything we needed for a quiet getaway."

"Magnificent! Exactly as advertised. Spacious, spotless, with incredible attention to detail. We didn't want to leave! Thank you for a wonderful experience."

"We loved our stay at this cozy cabin. It was a quick walk to the beach and quiet and peaceful at night. It's a smaller space with tight parking, but not a problem if you drive a smaller passenger vehicle and are under 6' 😉 Janet did a great job decorating the place and organizing a small area. Worth the price!"

"This property is wonderful, clean and has an excellent outdoor space. It is on a VERY busy road and the driveway is hard to get in/out of. Close to everything!! We loved the remodeled character of the house and the Kitchen is great!"

"As I stated in the guest book, this was our first time to the New England area. Took in all the sights, sounds, shopping and great food! The locals are warm and welcoming! The Periwinkle Cottage certainly didn’t disappoint. Everything was quaint, clean and charming; well thought out and stocked. I would highly recommend!!"

"Very cute house that's close in proximity to major landmarks in MA. I loved being able to sit out on the deck in the morning before starting my day. The host is responsive and attentive, definitely would book again!"

"Very clean and quaint cottage, responsive and warm host."

"This is such a cute and quaint property in a beautiful location! It was so relaxing to enjoy morning coffee on the back deck while watching the wide variety of birds coming and going. No one wanted to leave, including the dogs :) I would definitely recommend this place over and over! Thank you Denise!"

"This is just the perfect place. Everything you can imagine has been taken care of. It’s a short walk to everywhere in Rockport. Quite and beautiful!!!"

"Jackie is awesome and was so responsive. She pre-emptively gave us check in details, directions, and even some local information on how to find the "small beach." It was awesome. The cottage was well kept and we loved sitting out on the porch in the evenings. Thank you for a great vacation!"

"Clean and comfortable cottage. Great location. Hit the beach in the morning, visit neighboring towns during the day and listen to the waves at night."

"Missy was awesome ! She’s on site to help with all your needs ! Place was clean and AC worked awesome for those hot days ! Only a couple of steps from the beach . Our stress and worries were gone for the week we stayed !"

"Quiet and cozy.. great for a get away weekend"

"Everything was clean and updated. The location is perfect walking distance to the beach and multiple restaurants. Good space for 5 people- 3 adults, 1 teen and 1 kid. Would absolutely recommend."

"Can't say enough about how great this rental is. Even with bad weather it is in a beautiful location, so quiet and peaceful. The house is clean and cozy, comfy bed and nice kitchen. It has a very cool architectural mix of an asian vibe and being on a boat, minimalist but has everything you need. The hosts were so friendly and helpful with us using our coastal row boats from their dock. The tide swings greatly so just know you can't always use the dock at low tide unless you want to walk in the...

"The cottage was a perfect place for my family and I to stay while visiting New England! Chris was very easy to communicate with and gave outstanding recommendations on places to go and see. The cottage is older, with some history, just like the surrounding areas. After battling the traffic in Boston and Salem, we loved the ability to come back to our private cottage on the hill and just relax. We enjoyed the stay and area and will definitely be back again."

"The location of this cute cottage cannot be beat - right in Dock Square between Bearskin Neck and Front Beach. The floors and ceilings are full of character, the bath and appliances are new and beautiful We loved our bedrooms with the cozy bedding (we heard no/very minimal street noise) - and my older son slept on a 'day bed' on the top floor that connects to the beautiful deck. The deck may actually be the best part - you can see Front Beach out to the ocean. I had coffee there in the mornings...

"Convenient to dowtown"

"Clean and cozy studio. Was working in the area for a few days and was a relaxing place to come back to in the evening."

"This home in the center of Gloucester was the perfect accommodation for our weekend stay. It is a 5-10 minute walk to town, a 5 minute walk to the supermarket, and a 2 minute walk to a delightful local wine and cheese shop! The house was equipped with all we needed including a Nespresso machine and electric kettle. Having a parking space was a bonus. Would definitely stay again."
