Sunset Views, Waterfront Property, Dock - Sleeps 12
Stunning sunsets, a parade of boats going by, a charming marina, and a beach brimming with natural beauty — these are the sights you’ll behold at this year-round waterfront home built to maximize its spectacular maritime views. The modern yet cozy house features a balcony overlooking the water, and an open floor plan downstairs allows for maximum water views from the kitchen, dining, and living areas thanks to an expanse of windows across the entire first floor. Two upstairs bedrooms also offer lookouts onto the ever-changing natural vista.
Relax in a rocking chair with a book or spend the day in the fresh air by taking advantage of the private dock just 50 feet away from the house. Swim at high tide or embark on a nature walk on the firm mud flats during low tide, when tidepools capture sea creatures that delight all ages. When hunger strikes, fire up the gas grill and gather around the table on the patio, which also features water views, or cook in the fully equipped kitchen outfitted with a gas stove and basic pantry supplies.
The off-the-beaten-path home makes for a serene and peaceful getaway, yet there are many excursions that might tempt you to leave the house. A visit to this area is incomplete without a trip to nearby Rockport for an afternoon of shopping or a jaunt into downtown Gloucester to experience the bustling harbor, shops, and the Fisherman’s Memorial. Whale watches, fishing expeditions, the Hammond Castle Museum, and Dogtown Common are a few other unique local activities. The location also provides easy access to Boston, Salem, and Newburyport.
The house offers two bedrooms with queen-size beds, water views, and balcony access, plus a bedroom with two twin beds on the top floor. There is also a laundry area and large bathroom on the top floor that the three upstairs bedrooms share. Downstairs, there’s a bedroom with a full-size bed located next to the bathroom, and two couches in the living room open to queen-size beds. The downstairs shower features a seat and grab bars.
If you are looking to relax in a vacation home where your every need has been considered, this is the place to go!

The house was perfect for our family Thanksgiving. An open first floor floor plan is well-designed, and great for entertaining, conversation and relaxation. The views across the Annisquam River to the open Atlantic are stunning.
The house was very clean. We were there in a storm and it proved to be well insulated, couldn’t hear the wind much at all. The couches and chairs in the living space were comfortable. Beds were comfortable. More than enough storage places to unpack and make yourself at home. The views from the living room and upstairs balcony were amazing. Everything (stores, grocery, restaurants, beaches) is literally 10-12 mins away.
We can't say enough good things about the house, location and proximity to everything, and an ever changing view of a lifetime. The house is beautiful and has everything you can imagine. Truly one of the best places we have ever stayed. Wonderful host and nice neighbors too! Will definitely come back here the next time we are in this area.
Our family stayed for a week to celebrate our daughter’s graduation. From the moment we walked into that spectacular view till the time we left we felt at home. The house was well supplied with the things we needed & stores are nearby. Other than having a rainy week, the family enjoyed time together here.
What a wonderful relaxing stay. The house and views were fabulous. Kitchen is fully furnished with every tool to make any meal or snack you wish. A quiet neighborhood and loads of room for everyone.
We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at this water front property. The views are stunning!
It is such a beautiful home and was everything we wanted and more. It is very clean, well stocked, and so comfortable. The location is close to the train which was so perfect for us since we were traveling to Salem. I would highly recommend staying at this place.
Wonderful property with amazing views. My husband and I were traveling with my elderly parents, the house was perfect. The first floor bedroom and bathroom was ideal for my parents. It was in a great location, close enough to the restaurants in Gloucester and plenty of places to visit during the day.
This is truly a beautiful home. Great location, beautiful views, super clean and comfortable. We really enyoyed watching the tide come and go...very relaxing.
It’s hard to put into words the feeling I got when I opened the door and saw THAT VIEW! STUNNING Then I started noticing the details, the beautiful countertop, the fresh flowers! My bedroom upstairs faced the water and I will never forget the feel of waking up to that gorgeous site. My older parents were with me, they took the downstairs bedroom which had a bathroom with a walk in shower and even a seat if it was needed. I know this trip will be talked about in our family forever. Thank you for this beautiful house!
Booking, checking in, and checking out was a breeze. The pictures are very accurate. The property is well stocked and clean. The views of the bay are beautiful. We would definitely come back.
The house was wonderful with plenty of room for our group of 10 and the views were amazing. The owner was quick to reply with any concerns we had. Would definitely recommend.
The views are just stunning!! It is a great place for children to explore at low tide-so much for them to see. We sat out back every night to see the beautiful sunsets. The 4 bedrooms are comfortable and clean. The main living area has gorgeous views of the water. Just so relaxing-we hope to return!
This was one of our best VRBO stays we've ever had. This home is absolutely gorgeous with an amazing ocean/land/tidepools view. The house is fully outfitted with a stocked kitchen, niceties like USB multi-plug chargers, and plenty of linens. The owners were excellent communicators and very responsive. We will definitely try to stay again if we return to the Boston area!
Our family had a wonderful stay at this property. When a 12 year old who is often hard to entertain declares a place “wondrous,” you know you’ve found something special. She could not get enough of the dock and exploring when the tide was out. The location cannot be beat for beauty and views. The house was lovely with many unexpected details taken care of. Owners were responsive and wonderful to work with. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Very well maintained & stocked home. They tought of every need down to spices. Owner contacts you right away. Awesome job!! Would stay again in a heartbeat!
