Seaside Oasis

We just completed our two week stay at this property. From the moment I read the listing I knew this was the right place. The location was perfect with very easy access from major highways. The neighborhood was delightfully quiet and very friendly when we were able to encounter anyone. The open spance of the main level was so warm and relaxing. The open kitchen was fully equipped and so easy to navigate. The bedrooms were very roomy and comfortable. The downstairs level was ideal for our daughter and son in law and 2 little grandchildren…everyone was comfortable with room to spare. The upper sundeck was such a wonderful bonus! And then there was the spectacular deck off of the dining room…that’s where morning noon and evening precious time was spent overlooking the sea…that is why we chose this house. The sunsets were just indescribable.The house was just as perfect as it could be for us. The location is ideal to all destinations in both Rockport and Gloucester. Our mission was to just “unplug” and relax…and our experience far exceeded that! We cannot wait to return to this oasis by the sea.

Book it now before it gets away.

Book this one now! There is no need to hesitate. This is it. Hands down. Paradise. Let’s first talk location - because what does anyone want more than the ocean? It’s right there, steps away and smiling at you from almost all of the windows. And if the ocean is not enough, the freshwater quarry with its very comfortable water temperature is the frosting on top. We swam there every day. And now the house. The house is contemporary, spacious and exquisitely designed. You will spend much of your time in the giant light-filled kitchen, living room dining room with its floor to ceiling windows looking out at the sea, and a balcony for dining. The beds are comfortable The house comes with every piece of equipment you could ever dream of -- from the finest of coffee grinders to a professional sound system. The finest dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer. A fabulous stove, and enough sinks and counter tops for all the chefs in your family to be cooking simultaneously. You will go home wanting to re-do your whole house inspired by this one. A thoroughly refreshing week made possible by these two lovely, gracious generous hosts. Thank you both!!

As veteran Airbnb travelers we know what is most important in a vacation home and aim to make sure your experience is a perfect one!

We hope you, too, will soon make yourselves at home, give us helpful feedback along the way, and come to enjoy our home as much as we do!

Lastly, we anticipate renting our home mostly in the Spring and early summer(from May until July 6th) this next season, so if you think you might be interested, please reach out to us asap about your dates while they are still available.

Your hosts,
Peter and Debra
