About this property

Evensong: Oceanview Retreat with Dock

Unobstructed Water Views of The Annisquam in this newly-renovated "walls of glass" home boasting panoramic views of The Mill River, Jones Creek, Wingaersheek Beach & beyond to the mountains of Maine. Deeded Water access available for enthusiastic kayakers or paddle boarders (please feel free to bring them with you). Enjoy our new dock (which is removed between November-April), shared with our neighbors below us. With a click of the remote cozy up to the gas fireplace & watch egrets, blue heron & cormorants as they glide over the water's surface all from the comfort of your home. Bask in the beauty of spectacular sunsets. Every day is a nature show!

You won't miss a beat in this 1,600 square foot home with an open concept floor plan lending itself to views no matter where you are, even while preparing dinner in the Chef's kitchen featuring a Viking Stove, granite counters, back lit cabinetry & snack bar. Large composite deck with cable rail off the master bedroom overlooking the expanse of water. Young children would require supervision on the roofdeck. Our home features an outdoor grill, 3 bedrooms and 3 baths and sleeps 6-8. New washing machine and dryer on the first floor. It's a quick trip to the beach by paddleboard or kayak or a short drive to several local beaches, Halibut Point, more restaurants, museums, hiking, and quarries. Owners live locally and have a basement apartment (with separate entrance) at the property and will be available for questions/special requests. This is a perfect home for a friends or family retreat. Please no loud parties, as we live in a residential neighborhood.

We had a wonderful stay over the holidays with my family of five. Katie was very welcoming and communicative from the start. The house was fully stocked with dishes, linens, coffee, spices and all the basics for cooking. She even left eggs and half and half so that we would have something for our first morning. The views were breathtaking, the fire was cozy on the many cold evenings, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were well designed with excellent water pressure. Katie communicated quickly throughout our stay. I highly recommend this spot!

FABULOUS location to relax. I could have spent the entire time on the upstairs deck watching the tide come in and out. None of us wanted to leave!Owner very responsive with questions and suggestions for things to do/see and places to eat. While there we explored Cape Ann easily, traveled to Beverly, Salem, and Ipswich to explore. Locating the house using Google Maps is confusing because it sits behind another house. Google gets it right, but it looks like your driving into driveway to another house.

Pre-Holiday Couples Getaway

We absolutely loved this property! All of the comforts of home and even some extra touches that made it even more special like binoculars for bird watching and some local beer. Beds were comfortable, plenty of blankets and a very cozy fireplace. I would not hesitate to stay again, stop scrolling if you’re looking to stay in the area!

A great home with amazing water views.

Our family of 8 ages 16 - 78 really enjoyed this house. The area around it has many interesting places to explore. We went to half moon beach and the park. We shopped in nearby Rockport. Our host Katie let us borrow her paddle boards and the kids (young and old) had so much fun! Took scenic rides and watched sunsets over the bay on the upstairs deck. Home is well stocked and Katie is a wonderful host. Extremely responsive.

60th Birthday Celebration

Property was exactly what we expected due to the great pictures posted! Great location, amazing view and would definitely stay again! There were 6 of us, 2 couples and my 2 adult daughters. We each had our own bathrooms, the kitchen was stocked with all the tools and equipment needed to cook but mostly we ate out. We had a blast!

Paradise in Gloucester!

This property is absolutely charming and its owner/manager, Katie, ensures that your stay is wonderful. We enjoyed a beautiful, relaxing week of ever-changing and expansive water views. The house is clean, nicely appointed and conveniently located near both Gloucester and Rockport. We can't wait to return!

Hi! We purchased and renovated this beautiful home during the COVID shutdown and hope to retire here someday. Katie works in Gloucester and loves anything involving the ocean. We fell in love with the view here, especially the sunset, and look forward to sharing it with you.
