About this property

Cape Ann, Annisquam panoramic ocean views from every room.

This charming shingled house, built in 1917 and respectfully renovated in recent years, sits atop a rocky hill overlooking picturesque Diamond Cove, in Annisquam. The house has postcard seascape views of Ipswich Bay from both porches and from every room in the house. Guests enjoy beach privileges and swimming in Diamond Cove (short walk from the porch) and at nearby Squam Rock Beach, a 10 minute walk down quiet residential streets. Annisquam Village center is within walking and biking distance.

Please note: this house may not be appropriate for folks with mobility issues or difficulty with stairs, as a walk from the parking area up a gentle, rustic hill and porch stairs is required; both bathrooms and bedrooms are on the second floor. The breathtaking scenery makes it worthwhile.

Outdoor parking for 5 vehicles is provided.

A Gem of a Place
A comfortable, roomy house with a spectacular view of the bay! We are return renters and feel lucky to be in such a friendly, quiet community close to so many fine restaurants and such superb entertainment, like Rockport Music Shalin Liu Performance Center. This house is a true gem.

Divine location and views
A wonderful, casual, sprawling "beachfront" house in Annisquam with extraordinary breezes and views. While the kitchen is sub-par and needs a through cleaning, the location and roominess more than compensate. We will return!

Great Place!
Great place in a quiet, scenic neighborhood. Loved the decks - very relaxing! Its an old house for sure, but with tons of character, and has all the amenities you would want. We loved how it was decorated. Definitely recommend.
