About this property
The Aerie. 2 King beds, AC, outdoor shower. Walk to 2 local beaches

The home is situated between two of Cape Ann's most coveted beaches, Long Beach and Good Harbor Beach. As an added bonus the home is moments walk to an ice cream stand and pizza shop.

Laundry is also located on this level. There is also a finished, enclosed 1st level porch washed with natural light that opens onto a large exterior patio perfect for outdoor dinning and lounging. New for 2024 is an outdoor shower.
The 2nd level has 8 bedrooms featuring two king bedrooms, and another full bath. Two of the front bedrooms room have distant ocean views. The four central bedrooms have central air.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Lisa and Patrick Halloran

I grew up in Montreal, Canada and met my husband PJ while he visited Montreal. PJ grew up in Gloucester and has an intimate knowledge of the area having worked on local whale watches and Inns before going to college and accepting a commission in the U.S. Army. We now live north of Boston where he serves as a Firefighter and I as a Manager.
Why they chose this property
My family vacationed in the area for many years renting homes over the summer. We purchased a nearby property and love sharing the local beaches with visitors. When this property became available we loved its private setting and generous amount of space.
What makes this property unique
This grand home is massive! Great for families or groups you will have tons of room. The inclusion of a private lot across the street from the property adds parking for all your beach visitors. The indoor/outdoor living space is a key addition to this home.
