We loved the “Wee cottage”. For us it was just perfect. I had been worried that it might be too small but the three of us were very comfortable. It is in a great place for walking and the shops in Gloucester are a short drive away. The kitchen was well appointed and my daughter was especially tickled that it had all the things necessary for cooking and eating lobsters. We were also very pleased with the cleanliness. We knew that dogs and cats were allowed to stay and were worried that it would affect our allergies but it was so clean that we had no reaction. The owner was also amazing to work with. She checked in to make sure everything was great and even organized a BBQ for us. She also went above and beyond to help get something we left back to us. Overall a five star stay and we will hopefully stay again.

Small piece of heaven

The cottage was exactly how it was listed online. The place sets on a beautiful hillside with amazing views. The town was beautiful and tons of things to daily. Food, tons of shops and ice cream shops are just everywhere and they are very tasty. Not far from the train station which I absolutely loved! We spent 7 days exploring every corner and I’m definitely coming back. Marilyn is the best host ever and she was full of the sea side knowledge she’s so kind and pleasant.

Wonderful Stay at the Wee Cottage . . .

Perfect location nestled between Bearskin Neck and Good Harbor Beach. Lovely cottage and surroundings. Short walk to Loblolly Cove (as cute as the name implies). Marilyn was the ideal host. Provided so many suggestions for local sites, restaurants, etc. She was even kind enough to drop by to meet us. She's a delightful person. We'll be back!

Lovely quiet cottage in convenient location

This is a tiny cottage near Loblolly Cove in Rockport with a charming and rustic feel. Everything you need is supplied and it is cozy and comfortable and spotless. There is a nice view and a nice little backyard, though we were always out at the beach! Marilyn the owner is lovely, communicates quickly and is so easy to work with. Greta place for great price!!

Great location

This is a very tiny cottage. It’s great for 2 adults or 2 adults and 2 children. The location is fantastic and the gardens around the homes are so beautiful. It was pleasant to sit outside at night and enjoy evening sounds. Marilyn is an excellent host and can answer any questions.

Beautiful seaside surroundings

A small cabin in a group of cabins that, with a few adjustments & simplifications, could be a really sweet vacation spot — Which I think is the goal —— The sea isn’t really visible from the cabin but it’s only a five minute walk to a beautiful beach & the surrounding area is truly breathtaking If you’re outdoorsy & adventurous this is a wonderful choice

Wee Cottage stay

Adorable bungalow high on a hill overlooking the beautiful twin lighthouses on Thacher Island. The bathroom is a bit tight but otherwise a very nice spot in arguably the most scenic section of Rockport. Walking distance to several beaches and pretty Loblolly Cove. Loved it!

Loved our stay at The Wee

The cottage is as advertised - rather small but quaint. The four of us were comfortable there. There is not a lot of room in the kitchen for bringing your own food supplies, but we were able to prepare most of our meals there. The neighborhood is friendly and quiet. There is a nice beach about a mile away (Pebble Beach, I believe), and lots to do in town, and also in Salem and Gloucester. Marilyn checked in with us and made certain that we had what we needed and also provided recommendations on restaurants and places of interest. We enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer.

Will go again!

Love it! It is not directly on the water, but has a wonderful view. It's quiet and calming. Marilyn is wonderful to communicate with and is very willing to help in any way. The cottage was exactly what we were looking for: small, but roomy and very comfortable. It could use a bit of updating, but what beach cottage doesn't? I haven't been that relaxed in, quite literally, decades. My wife and I can't wait to go back. Even our little dog enjoyed himself. Very much enjoyed the friendly neighbors and loved seeing the wild turkeys and beautiful doe that would pop out occasionally. Yes, yes, yes!

Cozy cottage with nice location and great view

Nice cottage with convenient location for exploring Rockport and Gloucester. Nice size for two to four people. Really appreciate that we could bring our pet. (He loved it also). Only comment is it’s a little pricey once you include the maintenance cost.

Horrible

Horrible. I reported this. Left 2 weeks early. Filthy. Windows wouldn't open. Coffee pot and toaster didn't work. Shower curtain filthy. Fan filthy. Cob webs. Window broken. Bureau drawers had trouble opening and shutting. No microwave. Oven filthy. Burners didn't work properly. I want the 2 weeks I didn't stay there rebates. False advertising.
