Long Weekend on Cape Ann
Visiting the area for a family celebration and enjoyed staying in this adorable cottage. Views were spectacular and the amenities were plentiful. The Murphy bed was very comfortable. While our visit was short, this property is fully stocked for a longer stay. The property owners were very attentive, making sure all of our needs were met. Definitely recommend for any length of stay.

Anniversary getaway
My husband and I stayed at Sally and Franks place for our 40th anniversary getaway. From the moment we pulled in, the place and hosts did not disappoint. We were greeted by our hosts. Who are the most gracious couple ever. We entered the studio to lovely music playing, a homemade chocolate zucchini cake for our anniversary from Sally, and the place so welcoming and immaculate! Sally and Frank have truly thought of everything to make this place feel like home. There is a wonderful view, and bearskin neck is short walk. This is the only place I would consider staying if I visit Rockport again.

If you’re staying in the area, this is your place! Sally and Frank have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and convenient. They were very thoughtful with everything they have set up. They also offered great recommendations for where to go in the area. They’re wonderful hosts! The house itself is great! It’s super clean and well stocked with anything you’ll need, including a view of the water right from the deck. It was very hard to leave!

Long weekend with my grown daughters
What a lovely spot! Sally and Frank should offer training classes to anyone thinking of becoming hosts!! They know what they are doing! The studio was immaculate, really lovely, embellished with thoughtful details to ensure our comfort and feelings of being spoiled rotten! Lovely spot too with a view of the bay and close to everything, by foot or car. Don’t hesitate! This is THE ONE!! Enjoy!

Bliss by the Ocean
Sally May, Frank and their puppy Macaroon are wonderful hosts! They really make your stay top notch. The recommendations on restaurants was fantastic, the studio was extremely clean and well stocked. They really anticipated their guests needs. Location is the perfect spot, right near Rockport and a short drive into Gloucester. Opening the curtains to a beautiful sunrise really makes the stay very serene!

Perfect escape!
It exceeded the expectations of the photos and description. Made for a perfect stay for a much needed getaway. We loved meeting the hosts and their puppy Macaron. The studio was so well appointed and comfy. Even on a rainy day it made for a cozy place to nap and relax. We recommend highly!

Nice easy “time off”
It was so easy to arrange this stay. Sally and Frank made it so accommodating; the place has everything you need. I loved the little touches like a vase of fresh flowers. Down the street are beautiful beaches, fresh seafood restaurants, and the best doughnuts ever (Brothers Brew). Also down the street is the Shalin Liu Performance Center - the stage is against a picture window to the water! I will be back. Sally and Frank made this adventure easy with their info and help.

Perfect!
Motif #2 was wonderful! The space is good for a couple, and we were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. Sally May and Frank were perfect hosts. The studio had everything we needed and more for our three night stay. Lots of sunshine during the day and quiet at night. The mattress was the best we’ve ever slept on!

Beautiful!
Motif #2 was more than we expected! Walking distance to watch the sun rise over the ocean and cozy in the rain. Rockport, even in January, is a gem. We were welcomed with cookies and were amazed at how well thought out the studio was. It does not lack for anything. A glorious 1st of January with warm Temps and sun also helped!

Perfect fall getaway
This property is so adorable and in a perfect location. My best friend and I got together for a girls weekend and Motif #2 was such a great spot. It’s spacious enough to sit around and catch up over coffee and close enough to go into town and shop or grab dinner. I couldn’t have asked for better hosts or location. Thanks for having us!

Best Vacation Experience Ever!!!
Motif #2 is a beautiful little studio right across from the sea and conveniently located just down the street from anything you would want to do in Rockport, butbalso close enough to visit many other places including Salem. Sally and Frank are the best hosts ever and have thought of your every need, right down to fresh flowers and homemade baked goods. By far one of the best vacation experiences we have ever had. At the end of the day you really do feel like you are just coming home...5 stars, two thumbs up!!! We cannot wait to come back!!!

What a wonderful retreat
This place was as advertised! As we were on Cape May for the goings on in Salem, we didn’t get to spend nearly as much time there as we wanted, but Motif #2 was clean, cozy and adorable with its artsy, nautical theme and friendly owners. We will definitely be back!

Amazing stay! This cottage is a little piece of paradise. Beautifully maintained and decorated. Fully stocked with anything you could need. Great location. Easy access to train station which we took to Salem. To top everything off, we had the most amazing host, Sally. She spoiled us with goodies and helpful hints about the area. I hope that this will be our home away from home when we are in the area. Couldn’t ask for more!!

Coming Home
Sally May and Frank are the quintessential hosts. Almost from the moment I submitted our request I felt an immediate connection to them. Sally May and I texted quite frequently, making me feel right at home. The Motif 2, as the cottage is called, went above and beyond our expectations. It is beautifully decorated, spotless and oh so cozy. Sally May and Frank have literally thought of every possible detail. AND Sally May made the most delicious carrot cake for my husband's birthday! I can't say enough about this beautiful property and Sally May & Frank. It was like coming home. We will definitely be back and stay longer!
