Cozy Cottage

The cottage has a few low ceilings that might be an issue if you are tall, but all the basic amenities were there. It might be a little tight for a couple, but is perfect for a solo traveler, and close to all the action in downtown Rockport.

Cozy little cottage.

It was perfect for our needs. Fridge, coffer maker, microwave etc. The bedroom was pretty small and we hit our heads the first 2 days. A “Watch your head” sign might be a good reminder to duck. Loved her gardens and outside table and chairs. We enjoyed our stay at the cozy cottage!

Family visit

This property was perfect for what we needed. Visiting Family after the house was sold, we needed a place to stay. Short walk to most everything we needed while we were in town. This is a small property, if you are above average size, you may want to look for something else. The shower stall is very tight and the bed can only be entered from one side so if you get up in the middle of the night you may have to climb over your partner. For us it was perfect and we enjoyed our stay.

Vrbo reserved the wrong place

I made a reservation for Sea Mist in Sept of 2023, we have been twice before. However your agent made the reservation at Cozy Cottage. I didn’t realize your error until it was too late. It cost me $512.00 extra to stay at the Sea Mist where I thought I had a reservation. I would like a refund

Cute cottage

We took the train from Boston to Rockport (approx. 80 minutes travel time/cost $2.40) and reached the cottage on foot in 10 minutes. We were warmly welcomed by Janet and Mike. They were also reliable contact persons during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cute little cottage was completely as advertised. We had everything we needed for our stay. We were also given helpful information about things to do and see in Rockport. The nights were very warm but the air conditioning worked well. The only thing that bothered us a bit were the plasticized pillowcases. Compared to the other offerings in Rockport, this one is good value for the money. But that doesn't mean it's cheap. Although we are Swiss and live in a high-price country, we found the accommodation prices in New England to be a little excessive.

A cozy, tiny-house-style stay steps from the sea!

A perfect place for our brief stay in MA. Location is easy to find, and parking was simple enough, though it could be tougher with a large vehicle. Location is incredible--it's a brief walk into town and an even briefer walk to the coast. In fact, you can see the water just over the fence along the driveway! The unit itself is an ADU/tiny-house-style cottage. It's probably ~400 square feet, so it is admittedly small, but it's decked out with everything most folks would need while on vacation. It has a living space, kitchenette, bathroom, and bedroom, each with lots of extras like takeout menus from local spots. The shower and bed are both a little tight but both functional--the water is warm and the bed comfortable. The WiFi seemed to work well. The host was very nice, gracious, and interested in making sure we were having a good stay! So long as you don't need a ton of space, this is a fantastic place to stay, and it doesn't hurt one bit that it was a LOT more affordable than anywhere else in the region we could find when we booked ;). We might be back!

Perfect and Precious tiny cottage by the sea

Janet the owner was the the sweetest thing ever and consistently helpful with things like directions, recommendations, etc often before I even had to ask! The cottage has the tiny house feel and is perfectly located for all adventures to surrounding areas. We did Boston, Salem, Gloucester, Berlin, Rockport, Woodstock. Vermont, Concorde, New Hampshire, etc. and it made things super easy to accomplish a ton in 6 days. The town of Rockport itself is precious and I highly recommend Brothers Brew for breakfast, donuts, and coffee. George’s and Lobsta Land in Gloucester. The cottage was cute, clean well thought out and stocked with anything needed and we just adored our time there. Would love to be back soon! Thanks to Janet! You were amazing and such a sweetheart.

I have stayed at this property before, so I was glad it was available for my latest solo trip. A nice half mile walk to all the dining and shops of Rockport, and a very short drive to Gloucester. The hosts are very nice people eager to make your stay enjoyable.

Disappointed

The photos in the listing did not disclose physical aspects that made it prohibitive for us to stay there at our age and circumstances. So we were forced to find something else at the last moment. Had we known about these issues, we would not have rented. It is highly disappointing not to have some sort of compromise in terms of refund which the owner has refused unless rented by others within days of our intended stay - something highly unlikely.
