Straitsmouth Cove is a classic seaside “cottage” in a sublime location on Rockport’s Gap Cove. This elegant vacation home has the rambling, comfortable feel of a vintage country manor by the sea, making it an idyllic retreat for a peaceful fall getaway. The expansive green lawn, with its incredible waterfront views, is a serene and awe-inspiring setting for enjoying crisp autumn days, whether you're lounging outdoors or gathering for a game of croquet. You'll enjoy stunning, unobstructed views of Straitsmouth Island from most rooms, as well as from the shady screen porch, patio, and front garden. As the summer crowds fade and the foliage begins to turn, settle into the home's timeless coastal charm and enjoy the quieter side of Rockport, with scenic walks, crisp sea air, and beautiful New England fall days right outside your door. Gap Cove, just across the country road, is a place of seaside wonder where you can scramble on the rocks, hunt for shells and sea glass or all manner of little crabs and ocean life, or just go for a swim. Put your kayak in or your stand-up paddleboard and head to Straitsmouth Island with its paths to explore. From there you can go to Thatcher Island with its twin lighthouses for more exploration or just enjoy the views of Bearskin Neck. Inside, you'll have plenty of space to get comfortable, with five bedrooms, two full baths and a generous living room with a massive antique brick fireplace. Straistmouth Cove has central AC to keep you cool on hot summer days. From every vantage point, the living spaces offer endless views of the sea, just beyond the home's expansive lawns and gardens. After a day at the beach or exploring the village of Rockport, relax on the sprawling blue stone patio and take in the ever-changing seascape. Plenty of gorgeous walking/running/biking options and trails right from the property. The home is within walking distance of Rockport village with its famed Shalin Liu Performance Center, shops, galleries and restaurants. No smoking. No events or parties.
