The Red Cottage is anything but a typical cottage. Nestled on the grounds of the historic Sharksmouth Estate, a private 40-acre woodland and oceanfront property in Manchester-by-the-Sea, this is the summer vacation home your family will want to return to year after year.

Inside, a living room, formal dining room, and eat-in kitchen give big families plenty of space to spread out or come together. Outside, a sweeping covered porch faces the ocean — perfect for morning coffee, longlunches, and enjoying the stunning sunsets. A private path leads to a stunning 1/3-mile shoreline of rugged rock formations and tidal pools, with views toward Coolidge Point in one direction and Boston's skyline in the other. Also on the estate: a clay tennis court, basketball hoop, open fields, woodland paths and resident goats and chickens to make every day an adventure. 

When you're ready to explore beyond the estate, Ocean Street and its two beaches are a quick stroll away. Downtown Manchester and the rest of Cape Ann are just a short drive away, giving you access to quintessential New England summer destinations.

    We loved staying at the Red Cottage. It's location overlooking the ocean couldn't be more picturesque. Being able to wander through the secluded 40 acres of wooded property was a dream, especially for our dog. The house itself is charming, spacious and full of character in its original historic form. We had a cozy winter stay with consistent heat, warm nights by the fireplace and many an evening hosting our wider family who lives on the North Shore. Best of all Skylar was kind, attentive and accommodating throughout. We were so pleased to have found this place as we were in between homes, waiting for our new place to be ready, and we hope we can stay connected to Skylar and Sharksmouth estate into future as we fondly recollect this time at the Red Cottage.
