About this property

This peaceful location on a quiet lane just outside of Rockport's downtown offers an easy place from which to enjoy the best that this world-renowned sea-side art colony has to offer. Beaches, shops, art galleries, restaurants, and Rockport Harbor are all just a five-minute walk from your door.

A five minute walk takes you directly into the heart of Rockport's downtown, full of art galleries, quaint shops, restaurants, and home of the Rockport Chamber Music Festival and Rockport Art Association. Boat tours leave regularly from two wharves, and you can rent sea kayaks, go deep sea-fishing, or climb the rocks at the end of Bearskin Neck and watch the sun set over the harbor and the famous Motif #1 fishing shack.

The same short walk brings you to Front Beach, with its fine swimming and scenic views of Rockport's coastline for adults, and gradual slope and tidepools that delight children. Along the way you will pass the lane leading to Millbrook Meadow, an oasis-like park with a pond, waterfall, babbling brook, and large lawn with swings and slide.

Excellent location & comfort

This property is located close to downtown which has shops, galleries, beaches, & restaurants. The kitchen and family room are comfortable & well provisioned. Having three bedrooms was also convenient with teenagers! Plenty of parking too!

Great place to stay!

The location was great. Easy walk down to the shops and the ocean, also an easy drive to surrounding towns. Would stay there again.

Three generations

The house is a bit dated, but so comfortable and the location is perfect. It was a short walk to breakfast, lunch, dinner and shopping. Rockport was located in easy driving distance to other places we wished to visit.

Nice place

Rented the house for a tuna fishing trip, perfect location. 20 minutes from the docks. Definitely will rent again if I'm in the area.

Lovely home in perfect location

My family and I had a fantastic stay Priscilla's home, everything exceeded our expectations. The home itself is very clean and cozy, comfortable and spacious for the 4 adults we had for this trip. The location is incredible - just a short walk to beautiful downtown Rockport and the beach. We loved walking to get coffee in the mornings and having easy access to all the things that make Rockport such a great destination. Priscilla was welcoming, accommodating and quick to reply. I highly recommend this house and look forward to the opportunity to stay again! This will be our first choice if we are lucky enough to return to Rockport. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by P. Squires

We still enjoy using our summer house on and off throughout the year, and are happy to make it available to other families when we're not there. Our children were lucky to grow up spending their summers at Front Beach and enjoying the ice cream and candy shops throughout downtown Rockport. The jar of beach glass on our family room mantle contains layers of memories collected each summer during their childhood!

Why they chose this property

When we found this house, we almost couldn't believe our luck at the location. While just a simple 5 minute stroll into town and to Front Beach, it is situated on a quiet private lane with virtually no traffic. It has a good sized yard, and some conservation land directly behind it. We have convenience to everything downtown Rockport offers, yet quiet and privacy with a safe place for our children to play.
