Rockport! Walk to Beach and Village! The Enchanted Cottage is more like two homes in one with east meeting west in a serendipitous way. The first thing that strikes one when entering the grounds is the lush plantings and gorgeous manicured landscaping including a custom made pond with waterfall, that shields the house from view from the street. Enter into the first of two kitchens, this one being very sunny with a dishwasher and Jenn-air gas cook-top with grill, refrigerator and small sink. Go up two stairs to the upper part of the house which is decorated with an eastern influence into a great room living/dining area with cathedral ceilings, fireplace and ocean views from the deck. This deck is also the perfect place to enjoy the ocean breezes that come off of Old Garden beach, just a few hundred yards from the house, or to just enjoy the beautiful gardens below. Also on this floor is a full bath and a master bedroom with a king sized bed. The lower part of the house is reminiscient of Tudor England with half-timbered walls and great beams, oversized windows and skylights in the living room which has a Dutch door leading to the deck overlooking that lovely yard. The bright twin bedroom has large windows and lovely English country style wallpaper. Two steps down lead to a full bath with a shower, laundry area and another full kitchen which is the perfect place to cook your lobsters and store your beverages. Finally there is an outdoor shower for getting the beach sand off. Off street parking for two cars makes this the perfect east/west vacation destination! Beautiful pond but parents need to be watchful of small chiildren.

    We are just beginning our 9 month stay at the Enchanted cottage and it is truly at the edge of Paradise with beautiful views of the ocean and majestic gardens on the property. Looking forward to the months ahead.

    Two comments about the property. 1) There is at least one bees nest in the facia/rafters exterior area on the ocean side of the living room balcony.

    Jo F from Niskayuna, NY recommends this vacation rental

    We really did enjoy our stay at Enchanted Cottage and offer these suggestions not as complaints, but as ideas to make it an even better experience.
    The wiring/lights were confusing. It took us a few days to figure out where switches where and which lights they operated and in some instances we just didn't ever find switches for lights we wanted to use.
    We used the wheelbarrow as a luggage cart, but something more stable, such as a wagon, would have been better. It's kind of a hike from the car to the door.
    The phones rang all the time....we didn't answer, of course, but they were a distraction.
    Though they were adorable photos, I'd suggest putting them away when the place is a rental; just seems more professional and would make it seem less as though we were invading someone's private space.
    This is true of other AVH rentals we've had--the kitchen really needs some decent cookware. We ended up going out to buy a skillet and a knife. But ideally there should be a cast-iron skillet (they're inexpensive), a couple of decent knives and a few sturdy pots and pans--a pot large enough to cook a pound of pasta--and a decent grater. The one at Enchanted Cottage was a grater in name only.
    The ground floor had a moldy smell which may simply have been because of all the rain all summer. And we weren't sure what the watering arrangements were for the beautiful shrubbery and flowers.
    There was a box fan, but it was broken. Really two or three working ones would be ideal.
    Also, a radio/CD player in the living room might be nice.
    Last of all, the construction workers and roofers at two houses right behind us added an awful lot of noise.

    a guest from Woburn, MA recommends this vacation rental

    The house was a beautiful old house in a great location to the beach. However I have a one year old and I asked the rental agent when I was initially renting a house if this house was good for a baby and she said it was. It is full of stairs! Not a house for a baby!!! We enjoyed the location to the beach but the house definitely did lack some amenities (very small kitchen lacking great cookware). If it were just my husband and I renting we would most likely not have cared so much and would have eaten out more but since we were vacationing with our one year old daughter we were home in the evenings. Overall we had a great vacation but would not rent this house again and we are a bit upset that the rental agent was not more knowledgeable of the property when we began our inquiries.
