Mesmerizing Views

We had a wonderful week stay. Beautiful views with water on three sides, great neighborhood for walking, comfortable and squeaky-clean home and a perfect master suite set-up on the second floor.

Stellar

We loved our stay. House is exactly as described, with fabulous soul soothing ocean views. The MBR is very special, with views on 3 sides of the water & the lighthouses. It was a joy to open my eyes in the morning. House is very comfy, very well equipped, spotlessly clean. It's about a 2 mile walk to town, and an easy bike ride. Lots to do in the area - we rented kayaks, went whale watching, got tix to the magical Shalin Liu Performance Center, hiked, biked & stared blissfully at the ocean. Owner was immediately responsive to questions. We hope to return!

Late Spring week in Rockport

Our family had a wonderful week in Rockport. We were fortunate to have clear weather most of the week. A bit chilly still in late May but we were not there for beach time. The home is very clean and comfortable. Excellent views and kitchen is well-equipped. Only one comment that the two downstairs beds are more like full size than queen but comfortable. It is very convenient to take the train into Boston for day of sightseeing.

Amazing week in fall

This house and the location is unique. We have experienced a very turbulent week of weather, from storm, fog to beautiful sun. The house is very spacious and the upper living and sleeping area offers unique views. Kate is a very helpful host and even accommodated very last minute requests. We felt very comfortable and would be happy to come back.

Always a lovely stay.

I stay here every year, for years now. It is a lovely getaway. Owner is very responsive, and the property caretaker, Andy, goes out of his way to ensure that things are right for you. Rockport, Gloucester, and Cape Ann are top notch places to soak in the New England coastal life.

Rockport Coastal Vacation

This is a clean, well kept home in a fantastic location. The interior of the house is uncluttered, and it was easy for us to feel at home. Plenty of space and privacy add to the comfort of the stay. We loved everything about this home, particularly the very well stocked kitchen. Having a washer and dryer on the second floor is ultra-convenient. The views of the ocean are magnificent from both the first and second floor decks. There is also a private backyard, which is perfect for afternoon sunshine. The yard is beautifully landscaped and well maintained. The location is near to both Rockport and Gloucester, without being too close to either. It is great to have the residence visitor pass for access to local beaches and parking. Trash pick-up at the house eliminates another hassel. All in all we had a wonderfully relaxing two weeks at this home. We strongly recommend this property and will certain return for future visits.

I love returning to this house

The home is in beautiful shape and is in one of the best locations in Rockport for a sweeping view of the sea and Thatcher's Island. I've now stayed in the house three times, and I plan to return many more times. Every room has some view of the ocean. The fact that the home is smaller than many others for rent (this one is 3 bedrooms/2 baths) makes it reasonable for me to rent myself, or with a friend, for a lovely seaside retreat.

AmaIng setting! Immaculate house and a wonderful owner!

23 Eden is a wonderful property in an incredible setting. The house was super clean and I am a clean freak so this is a major endorsement! The house itself has a wonderful flow and feel with every window offering an amazing vista. The property owner responds quickly, has a very attentive and great care taker and we plan on returning next year! We had a difficult time leaving as we felt like it was our home and isn’t that what you want with a VRBO?!

Our favorite spot was front porch!

The home is beautiful. Well maintained. THe location is perfect. VIews everywhere! THey had just added 2 big comfy rockers to the porch. These became our favorite spots to sit and relax. THere are a few cars that go by. And a lot of walkers and runners. But all in all very satisfied with our stay. We have family in area but it was easy to get to Gloucester. The grocery store is close by. Had a family BBQ and plenty of room to cook and enjoy family time. We wouldn't hesitate to book again! THamks for a great and memorable vacation!

Wow

We rented the house for a sisters reunion. When I arrived, I was blown away at how beautiful the house and views were. All 6 of us agreed that the pictures on the website don't do it justice. From the kitchens to the furnishings to the beds and linens, everything was top notch. We were blessed with perfect weather and spent lots of time on the porches and in the backyard. The road is perfect for a walk or run. I have stayed in several VRBO homes and this one was by far the best, hands down. Kate was terrific to work with and responded quickly to all of my emails. I was hoping to book another stay in September but see that the calendar is full, and I know why! I will definitely go back!

Stunning Views, Classy Home

Just came back from a reunion weekend with my mom, sister and our 3 kids. We feel very fortunate to have lucked out with a property so perfect. The Daltons' home is beautiful, pride of ownership shows throughout. It is clean, spacious, with tasteful decor that makes it feel more personal than a hotel would be but not like you are house sitting for someone. Can't say enough about the views of the ocean from every window in the house and the house was clearly designed to take advantage of these views. I had the master bedroom upstairs and felt like it was a dream waking up to the spectacular ocean sunrises visible from the bed and from the ensuite bathroom. My two kids slept on a pull out couch in a mini living room adjoining the master bedroom so it was perfect. The house is wonderfully heated with radiant heating and there was a fire already built and ready to light in the working fireplace when we arrived. Designer kitchen which is a great space for whoever is cooking to also enjoy conversation with people at the bar or take in whatever is happening in the living room. The house has a simple elegance to it without being over the top. Highly recommended for anyone with picky taste about the interior of a place and who wants a quiet getaway. Rockport is pretty dead in the winter but we didn't mind that at all as we were looking for time together --cooking, eating, reading, playing card games etc. Gloucester, which is a 10 min drive up the road, had restaurants, kids' toy store, coffee shops etc open. Lovely home, wonderful owners.

Beautiful house in a stunning location

We had a phenomenal week here and we are booking again for next summer. Here's what we loved about the house: - Beautiful, modern, clean (and clearly architect-designed) house with nice furnishings and a beautifully laid out and outfitted kitchen - Large outdoor spaces - a wrap around porch with outdoor eating and a nice backyard and patio - each with stunning views of the ocean and THREE light houses - with plenty of outdoor furniture for relaxing or dinner on the porch or patio and an awesome outdoor shower - Spacious and private bedrooms with a master bedroom sitting room that can be used as overflow for kids - Master bedroom with views of the ocean on three sides and a small private balcony - which feels like a suite at a luxury resort - A separate garage for storage of bikes (which you'll want to rent or bring) as well as a supply of beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. Here's what we love about the setting: - The views are just stunning and with huge windows throughout the house and very comfortable outdoor spaces that can fit everyone easily, the views are non-stop. Even though you are across the street from the water, there are water views all around as the house sits on a corner lot on a point of land between Loblolly Cove and Whale Cove - You can sit in the front porch and have unrestricted views of the TWO Thatcher Island lighthouses to the east, as well as kayaks and sailboats going by, or lobster fisherman busy at work. We spent hours just sitting and watching the changing light and all the boat activity - You can sit in the backyard in complete privacy and look north and west across Whale Cove to the Straitsmouth lighthouse with sunset views But most importantly, here's what we love about the location: - It sits on a very quiet side street that has more traffic from bikes and joggers than cars - Directly across the street is a short public footpath that goes onto the rocks. These rocks are amazing, we clambered on them for hours with the kids. Tide pools everywhere to explore and amazing views and crashing surf. Hint - get everyone water shoes as the barnacles can be sharp - We biked to the beach with the kids every day - about a mile on quiet streets to Cape Hedge beach - which is beautiful, sandy and uncrowded. 10 yr olds had no issue with this ride and they really enjoyed it! - We biked to downtown Rockport on a sidewalk the entire way - about a mile - Short drive to Gloucester for sight seeing, recommend the harbor tour.

Perfect In Every Way

Just stayed at this lovely place. This is an impeccable home in a magical location. Can’t say enough about how well designed and furnished the home is with ocean views from every room. Many thoughtful touches throughout. It’s the perfect combination of luxurious, homey comforts in an old-fashioned seaside setting. We were particularly impressed by how privately situated each of the bedrooms are from each other. Oh, the views from those comfortable beds! There’s just nothing lacking here for a wonderful vacation by the sea. Open floor plan for gathering together and cozy, private spots, too. And, everywhere you look, you see the ocean. Nice place to bike or walk the neighborhood. Close to town and beaches, too. The owner is very responsive and wonderful.

Update to previous review

I want to update my previous review of 5/27/13... I was contacted by the owner who said that she has already scheduled to have binds installed on the windows next week. Hopefully this will include not just the upstairs windows but also the downstairs bathroom. She also explained that the soap holders had been removed last week and were supposed to have been replaced before our stay but the property management failed to do so. She is also planning to add the additional items to the kitchen (large skillet, rolling pin, etc.). Given these improvements, I have upped my assessment to five stars for this gorgeous property. Despite the weather being cold and rainy for much of our week-long stay, we thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and charm of the Rockport area. We spend one day sightseeing in Boston (1+ hr drive away) and another day in York, Maine (1.5 hr drive away). The day in York was very fun and I'd highly recommend it. We did the cliff walk, Mt. Agamenticus (beautiful views; be sure to take some pretty rocks from the beach to add to the rock pile on Agamenticus for good luck), and the Cape Neddick ("Nubble") lighthouse. Don't skip the famed Brown's ice cream shop across the street from the lighthouse. They have tons of delicious flavors and the portions are HUGE! We ended our York day by throwing the frisbee on the beach (too cold to swim, sadly). This morning we sat on the rocks (right across the street from the house!) and watched a beautiful sunrise. Now we are headed home to Virginia today and will always treasure the week we spent in Rockport. Five stars for this gorgeous home (once the binds are installed!)

Beautiful home...but a few problems

We are currently staying in this Rockport home. The house is beautiful, quite new, clean, nicely & tastefully furnished. The location is quite stunning--right on the coastline overlooking a rocky shoreline. We have found the house to be comfortable and clean. The main problem...and it IS a problem for us...is that almost all of the windows lack any kind of blinds or drapes. Only the two downstairs bedrooms have blinds. At first I thought maybe the windows were tinted and thus not viewable from the outside. We tested this theory by having someone stand outside and look in. Nope, it's like being framed in a spotlight at night. There are at least five houses in plain view and the small road out front is busy with joggers, bikers, walkers, and cars. So, it's uncomfortable at night to be without window coverings, especially in the bathroom which has a full large almost-to-the-floor window and clear glass shower. We had to buy a spring-tension rod and rig up a beach towel to get some privacy in the bathroom. The other issue is the sun coming in the windows as soon as sunrise...which is 5 am. Hard to sleep with sun in your eyes. Also, it's cool weather right now but I imagine the house would get very hot in the summer with all these windows and full sun streaming in. There are a few other things that would be nice like an iron & ironing board, somewhere to put soap in the showers (we had to buy some suction cup soap holders) and a large skillet & rolling pin for the kitchen. These are minor issues, though. If not for the lack of window coverings, I'm sure we'd book again. The location is perfect and the town of Rockport is charming.

Family Time

With children in college south of Boston and in New Hampshire, Rockport was the perfect mid-point for a family gathering. The house was beautiful with incredible views, comfortable beds, a very well-stocked kitchen, and easy access to Salem, Rockport, Gloucester, Halibut State Park and many activities. The owner provided great information about the surrounding area, and the recommendation of Roy Moore's for lobster and clam chowder was wonderful. We spent a lot of time on the front porch, drink in hand, relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surrounding. Would STONGLY recommend this property (and owner). Will certainly be back when we are in the area.

Six Friends' Retreat

This was our first experience in Rockport and it could not have been more pleasant. The location was excellent and the listing was perfectly accurate. The property was well-kept and clean. The view was unbelievable! Breakfast on the porch was priceless! We enjoyed lobster....several times and it was yummy every time. The town of Rockport is quaint and everyone is very friendly. Loved the experience and the Friends are the best!!
