New addition to property in 2012! Enhanced water views and now 6.5 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 half baths. Sleeps 9 adults and up to four kids. This one-of-a kind property in the tranquil South End of Rockport, has been a family summer retreat for over a century and is now brought into 2012 with a new addition which adds another new bedroom, playroom (with sleeping space), kitchen/ dining/office area and a full bath and two half baths.

The property is privately situated off a small lane that proved attractive to the U.S Government during WWII, enough so for an observation tower to be built to watch for potential invaders from the sea. This tower is still standing and is a well known landmark to boaters and fishermen. The renovated kitchen in the main house has gleaming granite counters and new appliances as well as updated bath with oversize shower which brings modern conveniences which complement the antique charm of the rest of the house. A large dining room with interior grill area opens onto a sunroom, which leads to a deck with lovely views. The living room has large bay window with waterviews and alternate sleeping on the pull-out sofa. The second floor has 3 bedrooms and another full bath (shower over tub), and the 3rd floor has 2 more small bedrooms with views.

The new addition is on the other side of the shared laundry area on the main level. The first floor consists of the new king master suite with a full bath with double sinks and a den and office area. The second floor consists of a new kitchen and dining area and half bath and deck with views of Thatcher Island with its twin lighthouses. The third floor has the best views of all and is a large "play room" with a wetbar and half bath and another deck with amazing views.

    Guner and Carol E from North Little Rock, Arkansas recommends this vacation rental

    We are repeat customers for this company. Our "other company" property was not acceptable and this company found us a house within an hour. They were extremely helpful, courteous, professional and polite. The house had wonderful nooks, was clean, had fantastic ocean views, a WWII relic, wonderful walking opportunities and, of course, its looks. We will always go with Atlantic Vacations when make our yearly trek to this area. They go the extra mile in every way.

    a guest from Nashville, TN recommends this vacation rental

    Full of charm. Our family (age 2 to 73) all liked the space from the vintage living room to the tower bedrooms. It was like nothing that we have ever visited before. Great walking and beaches. Good access to downtown Rockport and the grocery store.

      Rockend is truly a unique property and we at AVH are delighted that both young and old in your party were able to enjoy all it has to offer.

    a guest from Clarion, PA recommends this vacation rental

    My Grandmother grew up in this area and I have always known of Rockport. As a gift to my children I brought them and their children to Rockport. The house was perfect-views of Thather's magic. The house was large enough for all of us, I was looking for New England Charm THIS fit the bill. House was so unique and so period with modern conviences. Have recommended to my cousins to come and stay. Will book again.

    Marie-Paule J from Paris, France recommends this vacation rental

    The property could be very charming if it was better kept. Heavy duty is necessary to keep it neat. The property manager has been very helpful and efficient after we let him know that cleaning was required. We finally appreciated the place and our stay
    Recommending this property to a friend would require adequate comments.

    • Manager Responded on 10/26/2011

      Thank you for your review Marie-Paule and we are glad that you were able to enjoy your stay after initial issues were resolved by the property owner.We have many properties in inventory and don't hesitate to work with our realtors to find something that would be more suitable for you and your party.
