Andrews Point Ocean Home

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This soaring, historic home by the water is ideal for your next big vacation with the extended family or fun group getaway. Located at the northern end of Rockport, in the highly-desirable area known as 'The Avenues,' this spacious, two-story rental features several large gathering areas (including a furnished, back sunroom with an ocean view), two river rock fireplaces (one gas and one wood-burning), a well-equipped, full kitchen, and a large, grassy back yard with a slate patio at the water's edge.

What's nearby:
While visiting kayakers and strong swimmers can enter the water right in your own back yard, there are easier launching spots just down the street. Take a scenic hike along the historic Atlantic Path (accessible right in front of the home) that takes you south along the coast, over Sea Rocks boulders, and down to Cathedral Avenue. The adorable seaside town of Rockport is only three miles south where you'll find several restaurants, shops, galleries, museums, and the stunning Shalin Liu Performance Center. And for additional fun in and on the water, don't miss Back Beach, Front Beach, and Old Garden Beach, all within four miles of this home.

The location is spectacular! Home is a classic older home and it’s starting to show its age a bit, but not a reason to miss out on the view.

Sweet home.
This house is large but still cozy and inviting. There is definitely a family feel, as though you’re staying at your grandparents’ house. The house has a lot of personality and is just beautiful. The view from the first bedroom cannot be matched. Now, I’ve read some reviews that the home isn’t clean or that it needs updating. The house is old. When you enter for the first time it’s a little musty. Opening a few windows takes care of that right away. The furniture is old, but comfortable. The curtains have yellowed from Sun. The house has sat on the water for at least 100 years so some wood is warped, floors slant, doors stick. The wallpaper is peeling in spots here and there. Could it use an update? Probably. But it would lose its charm if that happened, and that would be a travesty. It is the quintessential New England home in a town out of a Hallmark movie. The home exudes sweetness. You can hear the echoes of many happy family times spent there, meals eaten, and memories made. It is like visiting an old friend.

The house is marginal and poorly maintained. A doorknob fell off a bathroom door and the chair our grandson was sitting in collapsed. Many of the doors do not fit and the advertised gas fireplace was not available. We placed a call for assistance on a couple of problems but the promised callback was never received. Wallpaper is peeling off the walls in several places. The water dispenser on the fridge is misaligned and squirts water at the user and all over the floor. Photos are misleading. The house is poorly maintained.

Just WOW!!!
What a RELAXING time we had with the best views I could ever have imagined. The sun rose every morning and woke us up with a magnificent array of colors! “We moved our bed over to the windows” so we could lay and hear the splashing of the water on the rocks all night! Home is huge. Filled with a sense of the owners still there!! Memories of their life are in every corner! I personally love the old feel and layout. It was a dream for us! We planted a mum for a splash of color and added some pumpkins for future guests!! Is it new? No!!! Thank God for that! The old CHARM oozes in every window and I am grateful to have been a guest!!!

Beautiful ocean views and charming home
I think several of the reviews that describe this as staying at grandma's house -- if your grandma lived on the ocean -- give you a good feel for the place. We happen to love the vintage feel, but it is not for all. It is magnificent for its location on the ocean with waves crashing, lovely neighborhood, great to walk dogs. The house is roomy and charming, but you must enjoy older homes vs something that is new. My family loved the charm, the space, lots of bathrooms, and the ability to bring our 3 dogs. I will trade that ocean frontage and charm any day vs someplace that's newer/cleaner. That said, I would suggest to the owner(s) that short-term, the furniture in the living room be replaced with a comfortable couch and chairs, as some of what is there is unusable and all of it is less than comfortable. We lived on the sun porch for the most part anyway though, but would have liked a more comfy spot for occasional TV watching. The house definitely needs TLC, and really much more than that before it runs into trouble (my boyfriend is a carpenter/contractor). That all takes a substantial investment though. I am just happy that the owner(s) offered the home to us to stay in and hope that we may be able to stay there again. We had a fantastic time there and would love to return someday.

Great location; terrible house
Beautiful view and sounds of the ocean on a quiet street. I Read the reviews prior to paying. I was very concerned about committing because there were many bad reviews, but everyone said the view and location of the house was excellent. Whenever there was a negative review, the response was exactly the same. I decided to call Vacasa ahead of time to get assurances that the complaints people had were addressed. I was assured that the house was in good order and that no problems were present. This was not the case! When we first arrived, the house seemed cleaned however there were old tissues under the furniture pillows. The old broken blinds were dusty. We mostly hung out on the porch looking out at the water. After hanging out for a day 2 of our guests started having asthma attacks. Upon looking at the cushions we discovered black mold. We called Vacasa and they said they would take care of replacing the pillows and “make it right for us,” but they didn’t do anything. Instead, I spent hours on the phone with them wasting my precious vacation time. There is old linoleum slanted and torn floors, wallpaper falling apart, and old and dirty furniture, Lastly, while there is wifi it is only limited to one room. If you want to have video or streaming the wifi isn’t strong enough. Some of our guests were planning to work remotely, however, because the wifi didn’t work they had to leave early. Very disappointing! I wish I could leave photos to show how dumpy this place is.
