view large image

Rockport waterfront! This sunny and immaculate 4 bedroom/2 bath waterfront home is situated on a bluff overlooking Sandy Bay and Pigeon Cove Harbor where it is more than likely the boat that lands the lobsters you will have for dinner hails from. Popples Cove House offers everything you could hope for in a vacation getaway-beauty, location & privacy, comfort and convenience. It is beautiful inside and out-the reflection of the glittering sea lights up the inside of this graceful home that is decorated in pure creams and whites. The house is at the end of a dead end private road, so if you want quiet, this is where you will find it. If you crave more activity, it is an easy one mile walk (with views the whole way) to the village of Rockport with its restaurants, beaches, shops and galleries. Inside the lower level of the house is a comfy family room with a flat screen TV and DVD/VCR and a pullout sofa for extra guests. The main floor is an open concept dining (with sliders to a sheltered outside sitting area) and living room, with those incredible views and a large, sunny eat-in kitchen with gas cooking and a full bath. The master king bedroom is also on the main floor with cathedral ceilings and sliders to a deck with views. The second floor has three lovely bedrooms and a sparkling full bath. There is a full laundry in the basement and parking for 4 cars. There are safety issues for small children, please discuss with your vacation specialist.

    The home was so well equipped with anything that we might have needed during our stay, the view amazing and the grounds immaculate. Wonderful time...we didn't want to leave!

    Once again, we loved Pobbles Cove. It is beautifully set, beautifully maintained. Whenever we needed something, Sue provided it. We expect to be back next year.

  • We absolutely loved the house at Pobbles. It could not have been more beautiful and more beautifully appointed. AVH, Susan, and the Mallet's were friendly, wishing to please. Even our neighbor was terrific.

    Sandra C from Sugar Hill, GA recommends this vacation rental

    We had just the loveliest vacation at Popples Cove in Rockport, MA! I can't say enough wonderful things about our beautiful rental home and also of Rockport. We stayed for 14 days, during the last 2 weeks of September. The setting of the home is exceptional, with the panoramic ocean views and its tranquil location and vistas. A mere 3/4 mile is downtown Rockport with its beaches (Back Beach and Front Beach) and the quaint downtown area with its variety of stores, art galleries, cafes, and restaurants.
    On the first day, as we arrived, we enjoyed a fantastic view of a regatta of sailboats, directly in front of the rental property! The property itself is very welcoming and homey. Its surrounding yard is replete with blooming shrubs and the various entrances to the house had large pots of colorful, flowering plants. Inside the house were beautiful potted mums of fall colors. Atlantic Vacation management left us a folder of helpful information about the house and the surrounding area. Claire from AVH called us to make sure everything was fine and to our liking and Susan, the property manager, came by a couple of days later, to answer any questions we may have. We even got to meet Harold, the owner of the property, who was most friendly and helpful.
    Our oceanfront rental was outstanding, with ocean views from every room in the house. The home itself was immaculate! I have to say the owners thought of everything for their guests, as the house was completely and perfectly equipped. The kitchen had Calphalon and Le Creuset pots and pans, and Henckels knives, which my cooking family loved! The bedsheets and towels were all top of the line. In addition, the furniture and decor were perfect for all of us.
    My husband, being an avid fisherman, was in 7th heaven, as he was able to surf fish off the rocks, right below the property. He was successful enough so that 2 of our dinners came directly from the "oceanfront yard!" As for me, reading a book while

    James M from Laverock, PA recommends this vacation rental

    Loved every minute, particularly when we could sit in the living room with the amazing view while the kids occupied the downstairs playroom. Sometimes we even forgot they were there. If this house with this setting could be closer to the Gloucester/Manchester-by-the-Sea
    area, it would be absolutely perfect for us. My only real reservation about the property would be for a family with younger kids (ours are 13 and 9). Given the rocks and drop-off to the water, you'd really have to watch little ones.

    We loved everything about the house but definitely feel that there should be a handrail on the staircase leading to the first level.

    • Manager Responded on 9/30/2010

      Dear guest, We will be sure to mention this to the owner who will definitely address the issue. We are gratified that everything else about the property was wonderful, and hope that you will be back next year! Sincerely, AVH Staff

    The Popples Cove home is a beautifully appointed, spotlessly maintained home with views that defy description. There is always a breeze and the grounds are full of blooming flowers. We could not have asked for a more welcoming home to spend 6 weeks of summer.

    • Manager Responded on 8/29/2009

      Wonderful! We look forward to your future visits to Cape Ann.

    Marcie H from New Milford, CT recommends this vacation rental

    It was a great location. Easy to get to town or head down into Gloucester. We loved watching the sun come up on the horizon, the lobstermen hauling their pots and the sailboats. We even saw whales blowing in the distance with our binoculars and a young bald eagle eating a sea bass on the rocks out in front of the house!

    • Manager Responded on 8/28/2009

      How lovely. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.

    Ruth K from Boston, MA recommends this vacation rental

    It was a perfect house in a perfect location. We hope to return. Even though we were most respectful of the property, I did find that the home owners in the large gray house and the brown house to the right did not seem to like the idea of renters on the premisis. Specifically, the owner of the brown house practically ran my husband and me over with his silver Mercedes as we were walking off the property (via the driveway) towards Granite Pier. Quite an experience as we rarely strayed off our immediate rental site except to leave go to Rockport or Gloucester. Otherwise, while we often venture far from Boston, vacationing 40 minutes away from where we live was pretty idyllic! We should add that Atlantic Realty did a super job in terms of maintaining the property--I cannot emphasize that enough.

    • Manager Responded on 8/17/2010

      Dear Ruth, We are very happy that you so enjoyed Popples Cove except for the unfortunate incidents with neighbors. We have spoken with the owners of Popples Cove who are looking into it, but please know that this is the first time we at Atlantic Vacation Homes have recieved ANY complaints about the house or its environs. For this reason I tend to think that this are isolated incidents and I am sorry that it happened to you! Overall Popples Cove is an idyllic, quiet and beautiful place and we do hope that you will be one of the lucky ones to return! Sincerely, Claire and the AVH staff

    We have rented houses all over the world, from Napa to Provence. This was, by far, the best equipped, from Le Creuset cookware and Henckel knives to appliances. We loved the spectacular views. The house was convenient to Boston and Boston Logan airport. We hope to return. AVH agents were extremely helpful - we had FOUR responses to our questions!
