Gull Cove House is a bright, cheerful, roomy, and relaxing waterfront vacation rental home in the scenic New England coastal town of Rockport, MA. Sleeping 10, the house has 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and stunning ocean views. Though the setting is tranquil, the location is convenient. It's just an 8-minute walk to Back Beach; an 18-minute walk to quaint Rockport center; a short drive to several larger beaches; a 3-minute walk to wooded trails circling quarries; and 3/4 mile to Rockport station with regular 1-hour train service to Boston. The cove below the house has two boat ramps for public use. Gull Cove House is the ideal place to base your trip to New England. It is well suited for family vacations, for couples or small groups looking for a tranquil seaside getaway, and for business visitors wanting easy access to Boston while staying in prettier surroundings outside the city. For those wishing to visit Gordon College in Wenham or Endicott College in Beverly, the house is only 20 and 25 minutes respectively from these two fine institutions.

Your Stay at Gull Cove House Wake up early at least once during your stay to watch the sun rise over the ocean from the house, which faces due east. Take the path 2 minutes from the house for a walk in the woods, perhaps stopping for a swim in a quarry along the way. Stroll to Front Beach (only 14 minutes from the house on foot) or to Rockport center (only 4 minutes farther) for fresh scones and espresso, leisurely shopping, a harbor cruise, or a casual meal on quaint Bearskin Neck. Rent kayaks and paddle to Thacher Island and its twin lighthouses just off the Rockport coast. Bring or rent bicycles to explore Cape Ann’s countless seaside roads and pathways within easy riding from the house. Return to the house for a glass of wine by a fire in the patio chiminea or the living room fireplace as you watch the moonlight dance over the ocean. Choose a movie from the video library of 25+ kids films and 80+ dramas and comedies. Fall asleep to the sound of waves breaking on the shore below. Next morning let another ocean sunrise rouse you from your dreams as the sea gulls call you to begin another day at this little piece of paradise.
