About this property

Situated on a knoll in Gloucester's Bay View neighborhood, Helena House offers peekaboo views of Ipswich Bay from the second floor bedroom with deck. Decorated with a European sensibility, the home is sunny, comfortable and cheerful, with hardwood floors throughout. A Queen Anne-style house, you can access the second floor via a front staircase that leads from the living room or from the back staircase via the kitchen. The bedrooms upstairs have AC units for comfort and the separated WC and shower areas provide flexibility. A lush and private back yard gives you a feeling of being away from it all.

Spend your summer vacation relaxing, discovering local fauna such as hermit crabs, and swimming to your hearts content. A short walk takes you to Hodgkins Cove where you can swim and enjoy the scenery or walk to many fishing spots and quarries for swimming. The picturesque neighborhood beach of Plum Cove is 6/10 of a mile, and a bit farther is the sweet little village of Lanesville. Annisquam and Rockport are a short drive away, making this home a convenient and comfortable Cape Ann getaway.

Xmas redo with the family

We booked this home because we were not able to be together on Christmas because of covid travel causing delays. We were able to celebrate Christmas and New Years together. The house was perfectly set up with everything we needed. We were able to cook fabulous pasta feast, played board games at the table and everyone had a room to sleep with extra pillows and blankets. The master bedroom balcony was nice even though it was not sumner - you can see the ocean. It’s was so great that wee were able to have the family Dogs (2) with us too. The back yard was great for a quick trip outside(bring your dogs poop bags) and there even is an ideal walk around the cemetery. The nice 1/4 bath outside the master was ideal and the heated floors in up stairs bathrooms was a nice surprise.

Property exceeded our expectations

The property was perfect for our group of 6 adults. The kitchen was well appointed. Plenty of everything. We really enjoyed our stay. Only 2.5 miles from restaurants and other attractions in Gloucester. Would definitely recommend.
