About this property

Golden Cottage by the Sea, is a true New England Cottage that has been lovingly restored and updated. This quaint 1830's house was completely remodeled in 2015. The panoramic views, Atlantic Coastal Path, and fresh ocean air allow for a true place of peace and renewal. Located in a beautiful area called the Avenues it is between the Emerson Inn and Halibut Point. This is the ideal vacation home. If you choose to hike the coastal path, visit the Historic Village of Rockport or hit the beaches of Rockport and Gloucester you will have plenty to do.

There is great fishing off of the rocks. A small private and rocky beach steps from your back door. A private yard for play. A 5 minute drive and from Rockport shops, art galleries and beaches.

A Must Stay

What a great place to stay for our annual “sisters” fall get away. The house was spacious, comfortable and kitchen fully stocked. Plenty of towels and linens. Views from the balconies are beautiful. House was in a nice quiet neighborhood great for walks. Enjoyed the coastal causeway path and great views of the Atlantic. Numerous beaches to visit, close to Halibut Pointe State Park and close to town. Would highly recommend.

Perfect beach property

We loved the house and location. The view was spectacular. Very spacious and updated inside, although unassuming from the street. The house was clean, well-stocked and comfortable (the beds were especially comfortable). A real gem!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Golden

The Golden Family live in Roswell, Ga and enjoy their retreats to Rockport. They pastor St. Peter's Place Anglican Church and own Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee company which works with farmers in Rwanda while providing coffee drinkers in the U.S with an excellent cup.

Why they chose this property

The Golden family fell in love with Rockport while Jonathan was attending Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. As Jonathan walked the paths of Cape Ann he was reminded of his families roots in Cornwall, England. The property is a historic home that they restored in 2006. It has beautiful views and easy access for brisk swims, kayaking and paddle boarding right from the back yard.
