About this property

A Breezy Cottage is a very short walk to the charming beaches of Rockport, MA. It comfortably sleeps up to 7 people including a twin over double bunk bed, a queen sized master bed and a pop up trundle bed in sun room. In a tucked away corner, this home gives its guests privacy from their neighbors with its foliage of Peach Trees and flowering plants. A garden surrounds the back patio and outdoor shower. In its prime location, guests are a short walking distance to scenic downtown Rockport. Rockport's main attraction, Bearskin Neck, is filled with restaurants, art galleries, tourist shops and much more. Guests can find activities such as kayaking to the Twin Lighthouses to sharing a stuffed clam from Roy Moore Lobster Co. The Shalin Liu Performance Center is the newest addition to our quaint town and brings in musical artists such as Paula Cole, Judy Collins and string performances by John Jorgensen Quintet.

Summer 2012 was the first season for A Breezy Cottage and it was a huge success! Join some of our returning guests in making this vacation home your new summer tradition! Once you are here, we are certain you will join us for many years to come!

Quick, delightful trip

We had tickets for a performance at the Shalin Liu Performance Center and found Liz’s place. It was just for one night. I wish I could just live there! It was a beautifully decorated and welcoming home. All you’d need for a successful visit. Truly thankful for the opportunity to stay. We highly recommend

Perfect Beach Cottage!

We have been visiting Rockport for over 20 years, so we have stayed in many rentals. Elizabeth’s cottage was one of our favorites. It is simple, cozy, and comfortable. Elizabeth lives next door and was quick to answer any questions. The location is perfect—a quick walk to the beach or town and easy access to the main roads for groceries, etc. This was our first time staying near Back Beach, and we really enjoyed it.
