Step back in time at Captain John Butman House, a beautifully restored colonial home. This charming Rockport Village rental blends historic character with modern comforts. It also offers a peaceful escape close to Bearskin Neck’s unique shops, local art galleries, and scenic beaches. Whether exploring the North Shore’s hiking trails, catching the commuter rail to Boston, or simply unwinding in the home’s inviting spaces, this is the perfect place to experience Rockport’s coastal charm.
The main level features an open-plan living and dining area, with a cozy sitting space and a dining table that expands to seat up to six guests. The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need for meal prep, with a door leading to the back patio and yard for outdoor dining. A separate family room with a large TV and built-in bookshelves offers a great spot to gather for movies and games. A small office provides a quiet retreat for work or reading, and the first-floor full bath includes a washer and dryer for added convenience.
Upstairs, three bedrooms comfortably accommodate guests. The primary bedroom features a king bed, while the second bedroom has a queen bed and connects to a third bedroom with twin bunk beds, making it a great setup for families. A second full bath serves the upper level.
Outside, relax on the stone patio, where Adirondack chairs overlook the backyard garden. Fire up the grill for a barbecue, or rinse off in the outdoor shower station after a day at the beach. With off-street parking for one car and everything in Rockport just a short stroll or drive away, this home is a perfect base for your coastal getaway.
No smoking. Dogs allowed. No events or parties.

Our Rockport adventure
This charming house was the perfect spot for our family getaway. The house is very charming. We loved the historic nature of the property. The kitchen was great for cooking. Roomy and we'll equipped. The living spaces were very comfy and so are the bedrooms. The location was convenient to everything on Cape Ann The location is th the parking was tight but completely doable and we had a two large vehicles. We enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again. Thank you so much!truck and an of the
A truely nostalgic feeling at the cabin by the sea. We enjoyed the view and ambiance despite some shaky weather at the beginning of our stay. If you’re not used to a more rustic setting this might not be the place for you but we were in heaven. The porch with windows open on a breezy day was our favorite way to enjoy our morning coffee. Highly recommended for a true New England Experience A few small minor things to consider updating if possible would be a new set of steak knives, an indoor folding clothes rack (we had a lot of rain and could try outside), a clothes line strung up between trees would be nice too, mattress pads on the two twins.
Thank you for your review and your helpful feedback!
