Oceanfront home right on Long Beach near town & whale watching with tennis

Oceanfront Cottage - Long Beach

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Come and get away from it all at this beautiful beachfront property in Rockport, where you'll be mere steps from the open, sandy expanse of Long Beach! Let the sights and sounds of the Atlantic Ocean wash away your stresses as you take long morning walks along the paved seawall and spend your days exploring the charming artist's colony of Rockport. Each evening, wind down on the porch as you luxuriate in the salty ocean air.

This home sits right on the ocean in the middle of uncrowded Long Beach, four miles south of the center of downtown Rockport. Browse the charming shops on Bearskin Neck in town, or head three miles west to hop a whale-watching cruise in Gloucester (this area is home to multiple species of whales, including humpback and finback whales that come to New England to feed with their calves). Visit historic Thatcher Island, spend your days playing tennis, and enjoy some of the freshest seafood you'll find anywhere.

Beach house
The property for what we were looking for with our adult children and grandchildren. Adequate space and accommodations for 10. Beach right out your front door, couldn’t be better and it didn’t hurt that the weather was perfect! All amenities were great with a well stocked kitchen and fantastic dining table with plenty of seating! Would highly recommend and hoping to possibly rent again next year !

Great location, but not clean
Great location overlooking the beach. However, the cleanliness of the rental was not what we expected. The refrigerator was dirty, there was mold in both showers, the sheets had sand and grass in them, and there were mice in the kitchen.

Nothing beats this location
The location is incredible. We spent most of our time on the front porch or walking along the lovely beach. At the time of year we went (end of September), the beach is fairly empty other than a few people with their dogs. The location is well worth it especially for the price. Agree with other reviews I’ve seen regarding lack of utensils in the kitchen and the beds aren’t very comfortable. Upgrades would be great, but would likely increase the rental fee.

Really lovely view, location is perfect. Nice clean water. House was ok, it was not clean properly Broken beds, no AC, so it was to hot upstairs. No toilet paper, and shower shampoo with conditioner was clearly expired. There was a lot of mosquitoes and bugs in the house, and not really clean dishes Other than that everything was perfect

Amazing location, needs cleaning and updates
We love this beach and you can't get a better location! The house was a great size and if it was clean and if the beds were comfortable, it would be a great place! Had to wash kitchen things before using, bedding had solids dried on and smelled funny but luckily it was warm enough to not need the covers. We had a great time and could overlook any negatives once we were at the beach, but it would be nice not to have to clean before enjoying the home but we mopped floors and cleaned kitchen items as we needed to use them. Vacuum barely picked up mess on floor but we tried. No railings to get down steep stairs to put trash in bins felt a little dangerous but couldn't leave bags out because huge raccoon was rattling around the first night and didn't want to make a mess by leaving trash bags on porch.

Not clean:(
The location was awesome. The cleanliness of the house was awful. The sheets were not clean so we had to strip the beds and wash and dry the sheets before we could go to bed that evening. The floors had sand on them, the house was dusty, there was no hairdryer (we had to buy one), the iron did not work, we were told there were four beach chairs (we could not find them) and one of the showers had someone’s personal razor and soap container in it.

Traditional Long Beach Living
Great house for a large group. 2 full baths, plenty of seating. If you are looking for a traditional (with some updates) Long Beach cottage, this is it! It’s not for everyone but it was perfect for us as long time Long Beach vacationers coming back after a 10 year hiatus.

Just Perfect
This beach is very special to my family and I’m so lucky we found this house! It was everything we needed and more. I’m so glad that I didn’t let any negative reviews change my mind. The house had plenty of room for my group of 7, was clean, had a ton of towels, beach chairs, and sand toys, and is in the best spot on the beach. I hope to come back many more times.

The beach was nice, The neighbor next door was very nice and welcomed us. The walkway to get into the house was a little long considering we had a wheelchair, but it was a nice area.

We had a fabulous time here. Everyone loved being right on the ocean. We required a place with 7 separate beds and this filled that need. Would have been nice to have a bathroom on the upstairs but we managed.

It’s all about the location!!
The house is just as described and what the pictures show. It’s campy and rustic. The location is what makes the house! Younwalk out the door and there is the water and sand. We never wanted to leave the house. It’s a great place to people watch, walk on the beach and take a dip. We hope to be back again.

Great location
The property is clean, pleasant and RIGHT on the beach, close to everything. My only complaint was that it was so hot no one could sleep upstairs the first night. Fortunately, Chastity, the property manager, brought a large portable AC unit that cooled everything down. She was AWESOME! I would definitely stay again.

Perfect Location
We truly enjoyed this oceanfront beach home. The home is dated and none of the furniture/floors/bathrooms etc are modernized but it is 5 min. Drive to to the grocery, liquor store, ice cream, pizza shop and anything else you need. Approx. 20 minutes from the cute little town of rockport, 30 minutes from salem which you can easily catch a train from Gloucester or rockport to take into salem. The neighbors were amazing, accommodating and friendly. We were literally RIGHT on the water, we slept with the windows open so we could hear the waves. There is a walkway level with the yard for easy walking/strolling/exercising on the beach without actually getting in the sand. We were also able to bring the grill to the front yard so we could grill and chill while looking at the beach. Overall, it was perfect for us. (Also extremely easy to check in, park and check out). The place could be cleaner and electrical plugs could be replaced along with a few more blankets and pillows but all in all it is a cute place to get the "feel" of Massachusetts

Amazing location
This property is right on the ocean, spectacular view, beautiful sunrise, friendly neighbors and peaceful atmosphere. The house does have two bathrooms but neither is located upstairs where the majority of the bedrooms are. This is a problem since the staircase could be hazardous at night. Lacks a fully stocked kitchen if you intend to cook your meals at home. In general, this home could use a major update. The owners might consider keeping up with their investment as the location is amazing and the home should be better cared for. For example, the lovely windows facing the ocean should be cleaned regularly. Perhaps if a local person were to manage this property instead of a corporation the owner and the renters would be better served. All in all, we truly enjoyed our visit to Long Beach.

There was a great view of the beach and the horizon. The stairs were close so you can get down onto the beach and a very large front porch with lots of chairs. We enjoyed this very much every morning.

Perfect Location on Long Beach, Rockport, MA
Situated among a line of beachfront homes, this property is somewhat rustic but very charming! My family (6 adults and 2 grand children) stayed here for a week in September and were very comfortable. The check-in process was seamless, everything was clean, the neighbors were friendly and the view of the Atlantic was absolutely spectacular! The only small issue we had, was there seems to be no routine trash pickup at this location but I called Vacasa and the trash was removed within a couple of hours. We would definitely stay here again - highly recommended!
