"The wee cottage was rustic and very comfortable. Location was great and I walked to the beach several times during the day with my dog. A short drive to Rockport town center with great restaurants, views and shops"

"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!!!"

"My boyfriend and I stayed here for a long weekend and it was amazing. Sandra and Joe are very responsive and willing to make your stay great."

"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."

"This was our first time in the Cape Ann area, and we sure did choose wisely on renting this home. The owners did a phenomenal job remodeling this home. It is extremely well appointed, and the attention to details was great. It really was a 5 minute walk to Good Harbor Beach where we took some amazing pics including a spectacular sunrise. The home was convenient to everything we wanted to do and all the restaurants. We absolutely will stay here again, and think you should too."

"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!"

"The property was adorable and close to the action of the main strip in Hampton Beach. Communication was also amazing, and Michael responded quickly with responses to any questions we had. Recommend to anyone thinking of booking and I'm sure we'll be back again!"

"Loved this place. Very clean and tidy cottage and a very close walk to restaurants and stores. Also the owners are nearby and available. I definitely recommend staying here. It was a quiet neighborhood too."

"A little smaller then I expected but still very nice"

"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!"

"a great place to stay for the weekend"

"The unit was very clean and walking distance to the beach. One thing that would be a huge improvement would be a new mattress on the queen bed. The unit is pet friendly but the owner/manager could go above and beyond and recommend the renter research pet friendly areas for exercising their pet (the main area is very limited on pet access). Communication was very timely and thorough and friendly. I recommend this group as someone worth doing business with."

"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!"

"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."

"This cottage is stocked with everthing you need and is very spacious. Jen let us know everything we need to know before we arrived. The location of the cottage is close to everthing. My family had a great time at jen's beautiful cottage."

"We stayed here for a weekend family event and were very pleased with our choice. The apartment is meticulous, quiet and well appointed. Wish we'd had more time to enjoy the yard, but morning coffee on the porch was lovely. the owner was easily reached and helpful. We'd happily stay again."

"2 large windows look out over the roof tops at Cape Ann light, short walk to the shore for views of the Twin Lights. Easy car access to Gloucester, Rockport, Halibut Point State Park. Very quiet and the hosts are very thoughtful."

"So much detail was put into this house. We loved the location. Within walking distance to everything. Clean. Really comfortable beds."
