Great vacation at Between the Beaches!!!
We spent the second full week of August 2021 at Between the Beaches. The house is beautiful. It is ideally located between two beaches, Front Beach and Back Beach, in Rockport. The walk to either beach is no more than 5 minutes. The walk to Rockport center is between 10 and 15 minutes.
There were 5 of us and the home offered plenty of room for each of us to have our own space if we so desired. The kitchen is updated and modern. There is a big island and a large dining room table that easily accompanied us all. The host, Annie, and prior guests left many necessities that help you to settle in immediately, napkins, paper towels, bug spray, sun tan lotion, etc.
The stove in the kitchen is world class. We made homemade pasta and our son cooked lobsters. There is a major chain grocery store about 15 minutes away just over the border in Gloucester. We shopped there three or so times throughout the week. We spent most of our time in the house at the kitchen table playing cards, eating, talking, listening to music through the provided Bose speaker, peeking out the windows at people walking by and peeking between the neighbors houses across the street to the fantastic views of the water. We used the laundry machines often and at the end of the night we sat in the living room to plan our next day's adventure.
The bedrooms upstairs accompanied my wife and I in the master (king bed), my girls (23 and 15) in a bedroom with two twins and my son (21) in a bedroom with a full bed. There was a bathroom with tub on the first floor and a bathroom with walk-in shower on the second floor.
For fun, we hiked in Halibut Pond State Park (10 minutes down the road and a $20 parking fee for out-of-staters), we went whale watching in Gloucester (Cape Ann Whale Watching, $20 each with a Groupon) where we saw 10 whales and got great pictures, we went to Salem (a 40 minute drive) to visit the witches museum and shop in their downtown marketplace, we kayaked with the four kayaks in the shed behind the house, we swam at the beaches, and shopped in downtown Rockport.
We were able to do something new each day. My girls even rode two bikes that were in the garage behind the house that belonged to Annie's kids when they were young. One needed air and Annie and her husband came right over to pump up the tires and leave the pump in case we needed it. Communication with Annie was simple (done all by text).
Out of room, so will end with loved this place and would book again.
