This is the quintessential cottage by the sea, with a bonus large backyard overlooking a pond, in an adorable, quintessential NE seaside village. If that isn’t enough, your choices are to sit on screened front porch and look at the ocean or the backyard by the fire pit overlooking the pond. The location is amazing....block from Front Street beach. We rolled the 1 and 3 year old grand babies in a beach buggy down to the beach and all the shops and restaurants. The house is fully equipped for your stay...beach towels, chairs, blender, dishes, etc. And the owner couldn’t be more accommodating! You will be greeted with fresh flowers in several rooms and staples to get you started on your stay. I will be returning for sure!

Our family had a wonderful getaway in The Cottage by the Pond!! Louise and Karl were amazing hosts - making sure the cottage was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need and even bought things like wine, bacon and eggs for our family when we arrived!

The beautiful pond, the ocean view, the screened in porch, all made the visit an enjoyable and relaxing one! Strolls on front beach looking for sea glass and walks to town for delicious dinners, ice cream and shopping made the trip so much fun. Rockport and The Cottage on the Pond are what special Summer memories are made of!

I can't say enough good words about our stay in Rockport. This hideaway cottage is so close to everything but we yet tucked away from the bustle of the main area. It was the perfect spot for our family reunion.

While we loved exploring the town our favorite times were simply sitting on the front porch and looking out to the ocean in the distance. One of our favorite places we've ever stayed at.

We loved our stay. The owner had a wonderful personal touch on keeping the place warm and inviting. It was close to the beach, shopping, food as well as the train to Boston.
