  • NEW jenn air range

Direct Waterfront! This spectacularly situated 3 bedroom/3 bath immaculate home is perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean with views that include the twinkling lights of the village of Rockport to the south, its namesake partial breakwater to the east, and the open ocean to the north. This elegant light-filled contemporary has an open floor plan kitchen and ell shaped living and dining areas opening onto the wraparound large deck (with electric awnings for shade in a moment's notice) from which one may enjoy the views from inside or out. Newly furnished, the house gleams from the sunroom style family room with TV/VCR (and new internet connection!) and plenty of comfy seating as well as a table for gaming or dining. The fireplaced kitchen and living/dining areas, and full bath with shower complete the main floor. On the second floor are two more bedrooms with fabulous views and ensuite baths. Outside the lovely landscaped yard leads you to a "secret garden" of Asian influence where you can quietly contemplate the beauty of your surroundings. The right of way path at the edge of the property leads to the Atlantic Path, a glorious oceanfront walk over the flat granite rocks that extends for miles around the shoreline in either direction. Hardy swimmers and boaters can launch themselves, or their kayaks, off the private rocky shoreline directly in front of the house. The delightful gravel patio is perfect for your al fresco breakfast with lovely views. A two car garage completse this oceanfront property, making it the perfect getaway. Bring your cell phone as there is no landline at the house. This property is for your, and the neighbors', quiet enjoyment. If you plan on entertaining, please discuss this with your vacation advisor. Also speak to your vacation advisor about safety issues for small children.

    We loved Breakwater House. It was modern, very clean and comfortable. The view and sounds of the ocean were amazing. We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Rockport, now.

    James and Nancy A from Northfield, MA recommends this vacation rental

    The parking of vehicles seemed to be a problem. The contract should state that only two cars will be allowed. Guest parking is not allowed in the driveway.Our day guests were told to remove their car from the driveway and to park out on the street.This was somewhat embarrassing. Overall, we loved the house but found the parking situation a bit oppressive.

    • Manager Responded on 10/15/2009

      We are gratified that you enjoyed all the magnificent aspects of Breakwater House. The owner does not limit the amount of cars, but does respectfully request that any cars be parked in the spacious garage, or on the street which is 50 yards away, so as not to detract from the neighbors' wonderful views of the Atlantic Ocean. We do hope that you will find this solution reasonable enough to return to the delights of Breakwater House.

    a guest from Racine, WI recommends this vacation rental

    The views from the deck of the house were breathtaking. A very lovely area. Everything was in good order at the house. I would suggest that the kitchen have a larger coffee pot as the one presently there only makes 4 cups. Also, it was quite warm a couple of nights which made sleeping uncomfortable as there are only little table fans to cool you off. Ceiling fans would be helpful. Atlantic Vacation Homes were so helpful in locating a house for us to meet our needs. They were a pleasure to work with.

    • Manager Responded on 8/22/2008

      Thank you for taking the time to complete the satisfaction survey and for your thoughtful suggestions. Feedback from our guests is important to both staff and homeowners. We are pleased that you found "Breakwater House" to be satisfactory for your summer vacation. We hope you will consider Atlantic Vacation Homes again in coming years.
