Located on the waterfront of Little River (offshoot of Annisquam) in Gloucester, Cape Ann, sweeping ocean river views, gorgeous sunsets, and a direct water access dock perfect for hanging out and watching the tide come and go. Swim to the raft, fish, kayak and paddle board (at high and medium high tide)! Kids love to look for crabs and snails at low tide. Watch the ospreys, egrets, herons and bald eagles fish. Nap, read or dine on the screened-in porch or in the patio/yard area overlooking the water. Close proximity to beaches - Stage Fort beach and park (5 min drive) and Good Harbor and Wingersheek beaches (12 min drive). Explore the many cafes, shops, bakeries, restaurants and nightlife in Gloucester center. Short drive to Halibat State park and Downtown Rockport.

Lots of beds for your whole family! There are 3 bedrooms on the top floor and a fourth bedroom and bonus den/office on the bottom floor that can used for sleeping too. The three main bedrooms are on the top floor along with the kitchen, family room, full bath and porch. One bedroom overlooks the river with a king bed. A second bedroom has two twin beds side by side and a third twin bed, perfect for kids. The third has a full size bottom bunk and twin top bunk as well as a free standing twin bed. Below the main floor, in the walk-out basement overlooking the water, is a bonus den/office with a queen bed, couch area and desk as well as a bedroom with a queen bed and trundle twin beds. There is a rustic full bath with a standup shower, sink and toilet in the unfinished part of the basement near the bedroom, off the den. Washer and dryer are also on this floor. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off the salt water.

There are two outdoor dining options - one on the patio by the walk-out den overlooking the river which seats 4-6 and the other is on the screened-in porch, off the living room, which seats 8 -10. Indoor dining seats 4. Renters can use paddle boards, dock and raft. Motor Boat, trampoline and fireplace not in use for guests. Please note the dock is removed seasonally.

    Nice house, great view. Younger folks enjoyed the paddle boards. Close to town.

    Loved our stay at this property. It was nice to get away from the stresses of the world and relax by the water. Great common and outside areas. Perfect for a group. The screened patio was our favorite place to be and the sporty among us loved the paddle boards. Depending on what you are looking for, the only downside is that it takes a while to get an Uber out there but if you have a car that is no issue. The owner was very communicative and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone.

    Everyone enjoyed the big front porch and the great view. It was also very convenient to go down to the dock and go kayaking and paddle boarding and swimming. All the beds were very comfortable, and the house was well stocked with dining utensils, and cookware. We are a quiet family and found that it was a nice quiet neighborhood to enjoy our vacation in. It was also very convenient to a large variety of restaurants, of course, including lots of seafood. Yes, we highly recommend. Have a great day. Thank you.

    My friends and I had a wonderful, relaxing week at this lovely, comfortable house on the Annisquam River. Great swimming off the dock at high tide, and one of our group really enjoyed paddle boarding - watching striped bass jumping and waterfowl fishing. Waking to birdsong is a super way to start the day. The spacious screened-in porch is perfect for reading, conversing and enjoying a meal while savoring the view. Nice outdoor shower is a bonus. Margaret the owner is super friendly, helpful and responsive. The overall experience gets a 10 out of 10!

    We had an amazing time during our stay here. The views are beautiful and we had a stunning sunset. We swam to the raft and lounged in the sun. We loved paddle boarding along the river and seeing the egrets and osprey. My niece loved crabbing at low tide. Reading and eating on the porch was perfect. Town was a short drive and has a great bookstore. Good Harbor beach had fun waves for boogie boarding. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen fully stocked for cooking. Margaret was an attentive host and our questions were answered quickly. I highly recommend this rental!
