Home away from home
A truely nostalgic feeling at the cabin by the sea. We enjoyed the view and ambiance despite some shaky weather at the beginning of our stay. If you’re not used to a more rustic setting this might not be the place for you but we were in heaven. The porch with windows open on a breezy day was our favorite way to enjoy our morning coffee. Highly recommended for a true New England Experience
A few small minor things to consider updating if possible would be a new set of steak knives, an indoor folding clothes rack (we had a lot of rain and could try outside), a clothes line strung up between trees would be nice too, mattress pads on the two twins.

So lovely
This was our second time staying at the Captain’s Cottage. We absolutely love Rockport and especially Cape Hedge Beach. This house is in such a great location.
The outdoor shower was broken last year and we were so happy to be able to use it this time. There were plenty of towels. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was great!

A+ location- poor customer service
The location is amazing and Long Beach is stunning. It was lovely to let my 3 year old explore the beach and have the ability to quickly return to grab a snack etc.
The house was listed as having a washer/dryer. It does not. I reached out to the house management company on day one for a clarification on that piece, as well as, let them know that the propane tank ran out mid-cook-out. They said they would look into it. I did not hear back from them and ended up calling back two days later. They said that they couldn't find a washer/dryer on any of their listings. They did come replace the propane tank after I asked again- but we went two days with out it.
The house is an old school beach cabin- it has all the necessities in the kitchen. It was clean when we arrived.
I would not rent with the property manager again but loved Rockport and especially Long Beach so hope to return to the community!

Excellent location- basic accommodation
We absolutely loved the LOCATION of this property. The cottage had basic amenities and suited a short stay. We loved the front porch and the outdoor shower- both excellent features for a beach cottage. While a washer and dryer had been mentioned in online guestbook emailed to us before check in, there was no washer and dryer at this property. Definitely a cabin-feel with very basic kitchen appliances- perhaps time to update the pots and pans. We appreciated how the house stayed nice and cool (due to the shade and sea breeze) but were disappointed to find some mold and the smell of mildew inside.
