The Neighborhood:

The home is located in Rocky Neck, one of Gloucester’s most beloved waterfront neighborhoods. Known for its harbor views, galleries, restaurants, maritime history, and coastal charm, Rocky Neck offers a classic Cape Ann setting with direct access to the water and close proximity to Gloucester’s best attractions.



Guests can explore nearby galleries, restaurants, beaches, harborfront areas, and downtown Gloucester, all while staying in a quiet waterfront setting that feels tucked away from the busier parts of town.



Getting Around:

A car is recommended for exploring Gloucester, Cape Ann, and the surrounding beaches. The home includes driveway parking for up to 2 cars.



Rocky Neck, downtown Gloucester, Niles Beach, Good Harbor Beach, the Back Shore, Eastern Point, Stage Fort Park, and Rockport are all accessible by short drive. Some local restaurants, galleries, and waterfront areas may be walkable depending on the season and your preferred route.



Rideshare availability may vary seasonally, so having a vehicle is the easiest way to get around.



Other Things to Note:

This is a waterfront property, so guests should use extra care around the deck, dock, stairs, shoreline, and water access areas, especially with children. Swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and dock use are at guests’ own risk and are dependent on weather, tides, and water conditions.
