Escape to our idyllic retreat, the ultimate vacation spot for you, your family, and friends. Nestled between the picturesque Annisquam Village and Lanesville, our turn-of-the-century Bayview home offers the perfect location to unwind and explore.

Take a leisurely stroll to Plum Cove Beach for a day of sun and sand or venture up our street to enjoy a refreshing swim in the local quarry. A short walk brings you to the Greenbelt hiking trails or if you want to explore Dog Town it's justa short ride away. A mile from us is Halibut Point in Rockport.... There is so much to explore.

As you step into our spacious and updated home, you'll be greeted by an inviting open living space and a new fully equipped kitchen, thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. The first floor boasts a cozy bedroom with a queen bed, while the second floor features two additional bedrooms - one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds with Ipswich Bay right across the way.

Beyond the comforts of your temporary haven, a world of adventure awaits. Indulge in boating, whale watching, fishing, and swimming at breathtaking beaches. Embark on scenic sea kayaking excursions, explore the picturesque biking and hiking trails, and embark on leisurely nature walks. Immerse yourself in Cape Ann's vibrant art community, visit notable museums, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of festivals and farmer's markets.

Let's not forget the not to be missed sunsets of Ipswich Bay (right across the street) or take a stroll to Plum Cove beach. And if you’re too relaxed to cook, Gloucester Center is just a seven-minute drive away and has a great selection of restaurants, bars & nightlife! (Don't forget to ask us for our recommendations!) Minutes to Rockport, and easily accessible by commuter rail or car from Boston -- less than an hour away.

Escape to this Cape Ann sanctuary and experience the perfect blend of tranquility, natural beauty, and endless activities.

This is the upstairs unit of a two family house (2nd and 3rd floors)

    This apartment was crisp, bright, and spotlessly clean. A great location for outdoors exploring. Hosts were great with communication and allowed us privacy. Highly recommend, blissfully quiet location and lots of options for going out or staying put.

    With leaves on the trees, we could just barely see the ocean from the outside deck - the location was great. Busy road, so the traffic was noisy, but that's Gloucester.

    We enjoyed our stay. It was roomy and clean and the AC worked well for our warm days. We did not realise the big bedroom was opened to the spiral staircase area and did not have a door. we did enjoy the deck but it had a bit of traffic noise however at night it was very quiet sleeping. The staircase to the laundry/entryway was a bit steep but there was another entrance. Overall, it was a nice stay away from the busyness of Rockport in Gloucester.

    The space was lovely, clean and definitely big enough for our party of five. The kitchen was well-stocked with equipment; the beds were very comfy. The hosts were lovely and accommodating, and patient while we figured out the parking. The open floor design allowed for great flow between kitchen, dining and living areas. Location; it is in a quiet area of Gloucester - mostly residences. There is a jetty you can walk to across the street; the beach is a bit further and not within visual distance. We never got there. But it's a short drive up to the lovely Halibut Point state park and about 10 minutes to a huge grocery store; downtown is similarly only about 10 minutes away. I'd definitely stay again!

    The rental looked as advertised, it was very clean and had all necessary items. The owners were very nice as well. The property was rented with a hot tub, that had been removed before our stay. We were not notified of this change or reimbursed at all which was disappointing. The area was beautiful. The

    We stayed in Gloucester for a family wedding. The space was clean, well stocked and comfortable. It’s about a 10 minute drive from downtown, and easy to get to dining and sights. There is a nice deck with comfortable seating. Overall it was just what we needed for our two night stay!

    Impressed with how clean the place was and its overall location. I would have liked the tight steep stairwell and the bedroom placements as opposed to the bathroom. I thought two bedrooms were on the main floor - I may have missed that but didn’t think only one room was upstairs. Lastly the responce time of returning my messages wasn’t great. Overall it was a lovely stay!!

    This was a lovely rental for a couple's getaway to Cape Ann. We had never been before, and the hosts provided an excellent guide to the area in the room, as well as providing some restaurant recommendations in a brief and friendly chat after we checked in (all of which were delicious!). The amenities were excellent, especially the balcony which offered a nice spot to relax and make plans for the day. For this stay, it was just the two of us, but the upstairs bedrooms would make this a fantastic rental if you're traveling with kids as well. The hosts were also extremely friendly and communicative any time we needed to contact them. The location provided easy access to both Gloucester and Rockport. I'd highly recommend this property for any travelers to Cape Ann!

    This was a great property for my family. It has plenty of room for two adults and two kids and a great deck off the living room. The owners offer beach chairs and umbrellas. The property was clean and comfortable and the hosts were very responsive. It’s in a lovely part of Gloucester and is walkable to a small, local beach. We would definitely come back!

    We were greeted by Regina when we arrived and she was very nice and helpful. The VRBO was probably the cleanest one we have ever stayed in and was decorated beautifully. It did not have the ocean view that we thought it would from the listing but was very close to downtown.

    Great location for exploring Cape Ann! Near Plum Cove, Lanesville + Folly Cove. During the heat wave was perfect to be able to swim at Plum cove. We never did find the quarry but heard great things about it. Beautiful deck to be able to enjoy the view and watch the summer storms come in.

    It was a very good location, lots of room( 2 regular bedrooms and 1 very large bedroom), 1 bathroom, nice deck and comfortable living area. The only drawback was the access. Steep starirs to the unit and spiral stairs to the 2 bedrooms on the second floor of the unit. Once we found the outside deck and stairs to the ground it was much better. Luckily we are not young but not decrepid.
