Guest Access:

Guests will have access to the main house, detached guest house, expansive waterfront deck, outdoor dining area, driveway parking, and private dock.



Dock use, water access, and boat docking are subject to weather, tides, safety conditions, and any applicable fees. Boat docking must be approved in advance.



Check-in details and any important house information will be sent prior to arrival.



The Neighborhood:

The home is located in Rocky Neck, one of Gloucester’s most beloved waterfront neighborhoods. Known for its harbor views, galleries, restaurants, maritime history, and coastal charm, Rocky Neck offers a classic Cape Ann setting with direct access to the water and close proximity to Gloucester’s best attractions.



Guests can explore nearby galleries, restaurants, beaches, harborfront areas, and downtown Gloucester, all while staying in a quiet waterfront setting that feels tucked away from the busier parts of town.



Getting Around:

A car is recommended for exploring Gloucester, Cape Ann, and the surrounding beaches. The home includes driveway parking for up to 2 cars.



Rocky Neck, downtown Gloucester, Niles Beach, Good Harbor Beach, the Back Shore, Eastern Point, Stage Fort Park, and Rockport are all accessible by short drive. Some local restaurants, galleries, and waterfront areas may be walkable depending on the season and your preferred route.



Rideshare availability may vary seasonally, so having a vehicle is the easiest way to get around.



Other Things to Note:

This is a waterfront property, so guests should use extra care around the deck, dock, stairs, shoreline, and water access areas, especially with children. Swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and dock use are at guests’ own risk and are dependent on weather, tides, and water conditions.



The loft space in the detached guest house has a low ceiling and is accessed by a pull-down attic ladder. It is best suited for kids or guests comfortable with ladder access and low ceilings.



There are steps down to the front door of the main house.



Boat docking requires advance approval and may include additional fees.



The home is located in a residential waterfront neighborhood, and we ask guests to be respectful of neighbors, observe quiet hours, and enjoy the outdoor spaces responsibly.



Traveling with little ones? A pack-and-play and high chair may be available upon request. Please let us know before your arrival if you would like either item so we can confirm availability and have it ready for your stay.



Interaction with Guests:

We give guests privacy during their stay, but we are available if anything comes up. Our team can be reached by message for questions, recommendations, or support before and during your stay.



Guests will receive check-in details, house information, and any important property notes prior to arrival.

We loved staying at these waterfront cottages in Rocky Neck. Watching the boats and hustle and bustle on the active harbor was so much fun. It was very conveniently located to walk to galleries, restaurants and coffee shops and the people you’d meet along the way were so friendly. We’d highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

This place was truly amazing! The two separate houses came in handy to help provide more space. The views were beyond exceptional, even better than the pictures show! We honestly canceled most of our excursions around town, because there was no need to leave the back deck. I highly recommend staying here! I give it 10 stars!!!

Beautiful House and Location

We absolutely loved our three night stay here in late June. The house and view are stunning. Our 12 and 15 year olds loved having their own little cottage to sleep in and we all had fun jumping off the dock. Two great restaurants and ice cream are a very short walk away. The neighborhood is quiet and has beautiful gardens to look at.

This was my family and I’s first trip to Gloucester and New England in general. The house was fantastic and the view was even better. Both the main cottage and the boat house had very nice finishes. Beds were super comfortable. The host was awesome. Any questions we had she answered them super quick. I had some items delivered through BabyQuip for my 1 year old and she made pick up and drop off a breeze. The only downside is we didn’t get to stay longer, but we will most definitely be back!
