About this property

Rockport direct Waterfront 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home

Spacious contemporary home offering direct waterfront location in quiet, residential Pigeon Cove neighborhood just north of the village of Rockport. Enjoy the cool ocean breezes and watch sailboat races and lobster boats from large deck overlooking the beautiful, rocky coast. Hike to Halibut Point State Park or visit the picturesque village of Rockport. Well equipped, including WIFI, fireplace and air conditioned bedrooms.

Upon entering this two level home, you will be struck by the wall of windows that frame 180 degree views of the open Atlantic. Relax in one of the two plus living areas with your choice of cozying up in front of the fireplace or TV - or both!

The spacious kitchen provides all the essentials for cooking your favorite New England classics, whether it is freshly caught lobster or the delicacy of steamer clams. The dining area (seats 8 comfortably) enjoys the water views and the open floor plan allows even those toiling in the kitchen to experience the beauty of the ocean, making any chores oh so much more delightful!

Sliders lead to the very large deck which can accommodate everyone. Gaze out at the stunning ocean views, head down the stone steps that lead directly to the ocean and the Atlantic Path which takes you around the point to explore the waterfront of this gorgeous and historic, yet timeless, neighborhood. Off of the breakfast nook behind the kitchen is a gravel patio offering a sheltered space for grilling up your favorites, as well as a seating area to enjoy your al fresco meals.

Also on the main floor is a well stocked library, with TV as well as an office area. A bedroom with twin beds is also on the main floor. There are pull-out trundle beds under each bed, good for the occasional overnight guest, or children. The full laundry is on this level as well. Finally there is a full bath with tub and shower.

The remaining bedrooms are on the second floor. Both are ensuite, and have amazing water views and access to a waterfront deck. Both offer air conditioning. One has a full sized bed, and the other is a queen.

Bring your bikes and kayaks to enjoy the best of the glorious Cape Ann coastline. Rockport offers a few convenient public launching areas for your kayaks. Or head into downtown Rockport and check out the local art galleries, many great restaurants, shops and the world class Shalin Liu Performance Center.

Take a morning walk through the nearby Halibut Point State Park, one of the few places in the world where you can stand at the lip of a fresh water quarry and see the ocean just beyond - it is spectacular! Or just sit on your deck and admire the views of sailboat races and the three local lighthouses. Cape Ann Whale Watch offers incredible tours to see the whales on Stellwagen Bank. Or go deep sea fishing, sailing on an historic refurbished schooner, and cap the day off with a cup of classic New England clam chowder.

Easy day trips by car, or local commuter rail, include the historic city of Salem which is home to the wonderful Peabody Essex Museum. Boston is also just 43 miles away by car or train.

Embark on your classic New England retreat at this stunning oceanfront home away from home!

Fabulous seaside destination
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Breakwater House. The seaside coastal view was enthralling and gorgeous Halibut State Park was walking distance, or a short drive with parking available. The home is spacious and comfortable. Our adult daughter stayed and college friends stopped by for cocktails and dinner. We used the home telescope for close up views of Jupiter rising, Saturn’s rings and the full moon. Cormorants and other birds and sea life visible from the deck. The landscaped lawn perfect for a game of corn hole and for quietly reading in the Adirondack chairs. Host was friendly and helpful. Nearby Gloucester and Schooner weekend were lovely and enjoyed a foodie trip up to Portland. A beautiful location! A slice of paradise.

Unforgettable Rockport
The natural beauty and wonder of the Atlantic Ocean on full display on an 180 degree canvas. We were just so in awe with the scenery that we didn’t leave the home and grounds except for food and supplies. Family and friends visited and admired the quiet beauty. The home is perfect two bedrooms upstairs with deck over looking the ocean and rocks. First floor open concept provided views of the cove from every corner. Relaxed friendly host available for any questions. Definitely an experience we will always remember.

Wonderful Location and View
The location just above the rocky granite shore is fabulous. The house has an open feeling with plenty of glass to provide views and access to the deck. The 180 degree view encompasses both near and distant shores. Great for watching lobster boats nearby, or just the waves. Situated in a very nice neighborhood for local walking to nearby conservation land, or just climb along the shoreline. The house itself is well-equipped and very comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Nick

Host profile image
We are a married couple who live right next door to the rental property. This close proximity allows us to keep a close watch on the property and to maintain it in a careful way.

Why they chose this property

Breakwater House is direct waterfront with a wonderful view of the Atlantic ocean. Three lighthouses can be seen from the house. During the warm weather months there is constant activity on the ocean with lobster and fishing boats going back and forth. On weekends there are sailboat races from the Sandy Bay Yacht Club directly in front of the house. Many visitors enjoy watching the many shore and sea birds that migrate through Pigeon Cove.

What makes this property unique

Breakwater House is only a half mile from Halibut Point state park and two miles from downtown Rockport. The oldest seaport in America, Gloucester, is the other part of Cape Ann, and is a vibrant historic and still active fishing community with excellent museums, whale watching and many choices of restaurants. The beaches of Cape Ann are the best in the region. The city of Boston is less than an hour away by commuter rail or car.
