The Gott House was another pretty bit of Rockport. Beautiful scenery, walkable neighborhood, and shopping and dining nearby added up to a wonderful stay.
My friends, husband, and I had a wonderful stay at this property. The property is located in very close walking distance of downtown, which made it easy to grab coffee and food throughout our stay. In addition, the property is incredibly clean and has plenty of amenities. I would definitely stay here again!
We have stayed at this property for our summer vacations for years, and it's a perfect Rockport spot. The house is wonderful, we love the backyard / grill / outdoor seating, and it's just a few steps from downtown and beaches. I would give this house 10 stars if I could!
I have stayed here with my family for quite a few years and it never disappoints. The house is very clean and spacious, with room for all of us. The kitchen is excellent and we have many meals there, although we do like to go out to many of the excellent restaurants which are an easy walk from the property. It is located next to the shops as well. I would recommend this property highly and hope to be back next year.
We were so happy to return to the Gott place again this vacation - it's been five years. The Carriage House did not disappoint - from the convenient location to Bear Skin Neck to property amenities and grounds, we were so happy to be back in Rockport. Jonathan and Ellie are superb hosts. We look forward to continued stays in the future.
My friends and I travelled from all over the States and Canada for a weekend together, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at! It was homey, clean, and super accessible to the train, beach, and shops in Rockport. We loved spending time in the living room & cooking and eating meals together. Also, what a beautiful house! Thank you Jonathan and Ellie :)
Once again we enjoyed our stay at this Gott Street property. The location is ideal. Only steps from shops and restaurants. The property is clean and well maintained. The hosts are friendly and quick to respond to any issues. We have already rebooked it for next year.
Great house with tons of New England character yet updated throughout - almost brand new! Location was perfect, only a quick few minutes walk to all shops, restaurants and the ocean. The owners have done a great job furnishing every room and the kitchen is fully stocked for all your needs!
This house is great! Excellent location, super clean and comfortable - very well equipped with beach items, games, books, etc. Also provides many cozy spots to relax. Thanks again!
We have stayed here 4 times and each time has been a great experience. The house is well situated for us, everything in the center of Rockport is a short walk away.
We love coming to Rockport and staying at The Barn. Everything is clean and welcoming and the hosts are very responsive. Our stay is always too short and we hope to be back next summer.
The location of this property is ideal. Close to Bearskin Neck and a few minutes walk from Front Beach. The house is clean and well maintained. We will be back next summer.
3 generations of Rockport lovers enjoyed this property. Close proximity to Bearskin Neck, The Headlands, and Front Beach was the best aspect.
Thank You, Jonathan!
The property was beautiful, clean and well located. The hosts were incredible at answering all my questions and making us feel welcome. Highly recommend!!!
We are Jon and Ellie and we welcome you to be our guests at The James Gott Homestead. I was born and raised on the North Shore while Ellie was raised in coastal Maine. We have lived and traveled throughout the United States but we have always been drawn back to the beautiful town of Rockport MA.
After spending almost two years searching for the right property we were shown the James Gott Homestead in the dead of winter and we fell in love. Drawing on the experiences we had renting vacation homes for our family over the years we tried to design the "best " summer vacation rental. We have renovated two of the four units into beautiful, luxury comfortable family vacation rentals. Two different buildings each with its own unique charm and character but each very Rockport.
This is a very unique home. We are located right downtown on the 4th of July parade route yet, we have a beautiful flower filled back yard that is a very peaceful and tranquil oasis. This unit has two off street parking spaces. We have two beautiful sandy beaches less than a half mile stroll from your back door, we provide a cart for beach chairs coolers and other beach necessities. There is also a parking pass for Long Beach and Cape Hedges Beach.
