Great location

We had a great vacation. Having two houses on the same property was great. The yard space was really nice to have with kids. Just a short walk to front beach and had all the beach equipment we needed. The band played in the gazebo right across the street and we were able to watch from the deck. Would definitely recommend this rental especially for those with children.

Charming property for families to stay

This was a lovely and comfortable place to stay for a low-key vacation by the beach in beautiful Rockport. The two cottages that share a garden was the perfect setup for traveling with different family units. The place is fully stocked with toys and fun for kids. It was an easy and short walk to the beach every day, as well as to the shops! We’ll always remember the live music from the bandstand on Sunday and Monday nights. Very hospitable and communicative hosts. Hope to be back one day!

Wonderful home base for a fantastic wedding weekend!

We stayed here for 10 days, and the property was fantastic. My parents stayed in the back cottage, which had everything they needed (including a kitchen), and my fiancée and I stayed in the front cottage with our two kids. We had everything we needed; we easily walked to town; the beach is across the street; and the views from the house were awesome! The outdoor seating (and grill) were also fantastic - we had friends over for a BBQ in the yard, and it was perfect. Thank you for an amazing stay! We home to be back.

The book of information they put together was easy to understand. We appreciate the special treats they left. We will be rebooking.

Great for busy families

Had a great time. The front deck views are great. We are outside often at one of the 3 seating locations outside. The kids (age 7 and 10) played with all sorts of toys from the activity shed and it was great to have a wagon to transport gear to the beach. Onsite kitchen is stocked and laundry was nice to have in the unit. Hosts were great, very responsive. Only caution is the guest house spiral staircase is tight and was a little challenging for parents who are “young” retirees. Great experience overall!

Perfect Location!

The Back Beach cottages were the perfect location for my family to enjoy a weekend in Rockport. Located across the street from Back Beach, a 5 minute walk to Front Beach and another 5 minute walk to the shops made it very easy to enjoy the amenities Rockport has to offer. The cottages were clean and furnished with very comfortable beds and the most amazing couch in the main house. The spiral staircase in the back cottage is quite narrow and might be difficult for small children or elderly guests, but was not an issue for us. Meghan and Mike were very gracious hosts who had a thoroughly prepared binder of information for guests which anticipated and answered any questions we might have. We would definitely stay here again for a Rockport vacation!

We enjoyed the water view and all the amenities this home has to offer. Being able to stay parked at the cottage and walk to the beach or into town was a real treat!

Great place to stay with young kids

The two-cottage set up was great for our family. Grandparents enjoyed the privacy and extra space in the Back Cottage while Mom, Dad and the kids stayed in the Main Cottage. Both cottages had great views of the ocean and both places came supplied with everything we could possibly need to make our stay comfortable (including beach chairs, toys, wagons, and much more recreational equipment). We loved the outdoor space and spent much of our time outside enjoying the beautiful garden while the kids played safely in the fenced in yard. Meghan and Mike were welcoming hosts and quick to respond to our needs. We would definitely come back again and stay longer next time!

Amazing vacation for family!

We can’t say enough good things about our stay at the back beach cottages! We appreciated all the organization & communication with the check in- the welcome book was so helpful and the fresh flowers made us feel so welcome. Everything was so clean. Organized and well kept. You can’t beat the views at the house and central location. We walked to front beach with all the kids in the wagon, spent rainy/cloudy days walking into town and the evenings we loved walking to back beach for photos, views after our s’mores by the fire. We were able to cook in easily with lots of amenities and the grill & fireplace were perfect. We loved the lawn games and the entire property. We could go on & on but for a family of 8 with children ranging from 2mo-5 the owners had lots of infant/ children amenities we used! Thank you Meaghan & Mike for a great week at the cottage! We hope to return next year!

A Perfect Match

Perfect location for a family of 6 - surprisingly quiet for being so close to the road. Clean, comfortable and a well stocked kitchen. The garden and picnic table is a perfect place for morning coffee and evening s'mores! Quick walk to town and quicker walk to Back Beach to watch the boats come and go
