About this property

Sunset Views, Waterfront Property, Dock - Sleeps 12

Stunning sunsets, a parade of boats going by, a charming marina, and a beach brimming with natural beauty — these are the sights you’ll behold at this year-round waterfront home built to maximize its spectacular maritime views. The modern yet cozy house features a balcony overlooking the water, and an open floor plan downstairs allows for maximum water views from the kitchen, dining, and living areas thanks to an expanse of windows across the entire first floor. Two upstairs bedrooms also offer lookouts onto the ever-changing natural vista.

Relax in a rocking chair with a book or spend the day in the fresh air by taking advantage of the private dock just 50 feet away from the house. Swim at high tide or embark on a nature walk on the firm mud flats during low tide, when tidepools capture sea creatures that delight all ages. When hunger strikes, fire up the gas grill and gather around the table on the patio, which also features water views, or cook in the fully equipped kitchen outfitted with a gas stove and basic pantry supplies.

The off-the-beaten-path home makes for a serene and peaceful getaway, yet there are many excursions that might tempt you to leave the house. A visit to this area is incomplete without a trip to nearby Rockport for an afternoon of shopping or a jaunt into downtown Gloucester to experience the bustling harbor, shops, and the Fisherman’s Memorial. Whale watches, fishing expeditions, the Hammond Castle Museum, and Dogtown Common are a few other unique local activities. The location also provides easy access to Boston, Salem, and Newburyport.

The house offers two bedrooms with queen-size beds, water views, and balcony access, plus a bedroom with two twin beds on the top floor. There is also a laundry area and large bathroom on the top floor that the three upstairs bedrooms share. Downstairs, there’s a bedroom with a full-size bed located next to the bathroom, and two couches in the living room open to queen-size beds. The downstairs shower features a seat and grab bars.

If you are looking to relax in a vacation home where your every need has been considered, this is the place to go!

November break
Wonderful property with amazing views. My husband and I were traveling with my elderly parents, the house was perfect. The first floor bedroom and bathroom was ideal for my parents. It was in a great location, close enough to the restaurants in Gloucester and plenty of places to visit during the day.

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at this water front property. The views are stunning! It is such a beautiful home and was everything we wanted and more. It is very clean, well stocked, and so comfortable. The location is close to the train which was so perfect for us since we were traveling to Salem. I would highly recommend staying at this place.

A “Wondrous” Stay
Our family had a wonderful stay at this property. When a 12 year old who is often hard to entertain declares a place “wondrous,” you know you’ve found something special. She could not get enough of the dock and exploring when the tide was out. The location cannot be beat for beauty and views. The house was lovely with many unexpected details taken care of. Owners were responsive and wonderful to work with. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Gorgeous waterfront home
This was one of our best VRBO stays we've ever had. This home is absolutely gorgeous with an amazing ocean/land/tidepools view. The house is fully outfitted with a stocked kitchen, niceties like USB multi-plug chargers, and plenty of linens. The owners were excellent communicators and very responsive. We will definitely try to stay again if we return to the Boston area!

Slice of paradise
The views are just stunning!! It is a great place for children to explore at low tide-so much for them to see. We sat out back every night to see the beautiful sunsets. The 4 bedrooms are comfortable and clean. The main living area has gorgeous views of the water. Just so relaxing-we hope to return!

Incredible views
We absolutely loved the views and we were lucky to have a week of incredible weather. Our adult kids joined us and they enjoyed kayaking and swimming. The kitchen is equipped with everything you’d need to cook at home. We cooked lobsters and fish nightly. Thank you for a lovely home to discover Gloucester & Rockport.

The view of a life time
This house had the most wonderful views of the bay & tide pools. We all had a great time. Absolutely gorgeous kitchen new kitchen with 12 foot island. Everything you could want in a rental. Plenty of bedrooms, beautifully decorated house. Wildlife at your doorstep. Binoculars to view the tides in/out! Half hour drive to Salem, great seafood restaurants close by. Much attention to the details. Would go back in a minute! Can understand its 10/10 ratings. It was the best place we have ever stayed at.

We love this place
My wife and I like to take mini-vacations (always with water views) and this is the only place we have revisited. The views from the main floor with a wall of windows include a salt/tidal marsh complete with Great Egrets and other birds, a scenic harbor, and the Ipswich Bay. When we weren't out exploring Cape Ann and all it has to offer we were enjoying the relaxation of the views, they are that good. By the way, we were 6 adults and 2 young children and there was plenty of room for all of us.

Beautiful View, Great Getaway
I've enjoyed vacations here for years. The sunsets are amazing and the marsh is fun to explore at low tide. I love the peace and quiet in the morning, watching a few lone boats come through the River over a cup of coffee. The house is comfortable and well-kept, and you can enjoy the view from just about anywhere on the first floor. I am coming back again this year!

What a lovely place
We thoroughly enjoyed our time ! It is the perfect location for a relaxing stay very close to beautiful Gloucester and Rockport. The home is spacious with plenty of room to spread out and not feel crowded. Everything including communication with the property manager was perfect! Property was exactly as described and in photos. Highly recommend.
