In town, one can also rent sea kayaks or bikes (and e-bikes) to tour the magnificent Cape Ann coast.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Cameron-Gilsey

Host profile image
I'm a licences independent clinical social worker. In 2003, I took a respite from working with troubled children and families. With a leap of faith and a sizable mortgage, I took over my families Inn business. Until the main inn and restaurant sold in Dec. 2013, I ran this 24 unit bed and breakfast, hosting weddings/events and, as some of you may remember, our Sunday Morning Live Brunches.
Since the sale I have refurbishing rooms in the building known as GullsNest for weekly rentals.
I have a husband, Peter, two grown children (Kai and Maya), and Little Dipper, my canine side kick.

Why they chose this property

I purchased the property from my sisters after my parents passed away (2003 – 2013). They started the Seaward Inn in 1945 when it was only considered a cottage. They built and added until it became a 36 unit, highly acclaimed resort.
Although sad to sell “the heart” of Seaward Inn (my childhood home), a new beginning, The Seaward, has emerged.
"Drop a pebble in the water:
Just a splash, and it is gone;
But there’s half-a-hundred ripples
circling on and on and on,
Spreading, spreading from the center
flowing out to the sea.
And there is no way of telling
where the end is going to be".
By James W. Foley

What makes this property unique

Both young and older guests love the peace, solitude and high standard of cleanliness (not to mention the ocean views) that is The Seaward.
