Spacious Home, 9BR/5BA, Pool, Walk to beach and town.

Enjoy a wonderful vacation in Manchester-by-the-Sea in Cape Ann, the North Shore’s crown jewel (as featured in the prize-winning movie, Manchester-by-the-Sea), combining small town feel and a beach atmosphere. This spacious home is conveniently located on Smiths Point, just steps from famous Singing Beach and a 10-minute walk to downtown Manchester, where you can find parks, restaurants, the town’s grocery store, and Captain Dusty’s ice cream shop!

This home is theperfect spot for vacationing families, large groups, or reunions. The home’s location and amenities provide countless options for guests. The home is also perfect for families attending a wedding in the vicinity. We completed a major cosmetic upgrade in November 2021 with all new wall to wall carpeting, new furniture in the upstairs and downstairs living rooms, all new paint in the sleeping wings and upgraded kitchen appliances. As such, we have slightly increased rates for peak rental season (May - July). Any rentals already booked for 2022 will be granted our original pricing.

This 9 BR/5 BA home sleeps up to 19 people and has 3 master suites in 3 separate wings of the house. It was recently outfitted with large air conditioners in the common areas, and all bedrooms have window units.

Every bathroom has a hair dryer and comes stocked with soap and paper products for your convenience.

The 2 acre plot includes a large private yard with an adjacent pool (open Memorial Day weekend through October 1) and adjoining bowling green enveloped by large pine trees, affording privacy for you and your guests. The bowling green and pool include a croquet set, floats, beach chairs, umbrellas, and countless toys for pool and beach users. (The semi-private pool is shared with two of my cousin's families who only occasionally use the pool). There is a basketball hoop in the driveway.

The driveway and garage accommodates up to 6 cars for parking. (No parking is allowed on any of the streets).

The home offers a gas grill, brand new refrigerator with water dispenser, dishwasher, 2 cooktops (one gas, one electric), 3 sinks, 3 ovens and a microwave. There is both a Keurig coffeemaker and a drip coffeemaker. The large kitchen area is perfect for big groups, with an open dining room that can seat your entire party. There is also a patio on the main level and a deck on the upstairs level, both with outdoor furniture. There is a motorized stairlift for guests who may need it.

Enjoy downtime in a large light-filled living room on the upstairs level with a wood-burning fireplace and magnificent cathedral ceiling with wood beams. There are two TV rooms, one on the upper level and one downstairs. The downstairs TV room has a brand new smart TV where you can access your own streaming platforms. It also has a classic bumper pool table. Next to the downstairs TV room is a large play room equipped with a ping pong table and countless board games and toys for kids (and grownups!) of all ages. Keep the kiddos entertained even in poor weather with legos, building blocks, doll house, games, books, and more. The house is wired for cable and high-speed WiFi.

There is a laundry room with washer and dryer and ample linens and towels available for your use.

For our youngest guests, we offer 2 high chairs, 3 Pack and Plays, a baby bouncy seat, an infant tub, baby gates, and bed rails.

It is an easy 15 minute-walk to the train station, where you can go into Downtown Boston or explore the North Shore. There is also an easy 10-minute walk to the beach, or you can drive to the beach and use the convenient parking lot.

Summer is absolutely perfect, but foliage season, Spring and Winter are also beautiful!
