Wonderful spaces for gathering await at this roomy, two-story duplex home, enviably situated less than a mile outside the village of Essex. This is the perfect place for a summer vacation with loved ones, offering an expansive deck with both sun and shade, a large yard where your kids can play, and a home game room with a pool table and darts.

Whether you spend your days golfing, birding, or lounging on Crane Beach or Coffins Beach (both are within seven miles), this home is a peaceful respite to return to in the afternoons. Sit back with a cold drink in an Adirondack chair on the front porch, light the gas grill for an evening barbecue on the back deck, and set the outdoor table for a sunset dinner. There's even a firepit on the grassy lawn where you can roast s'mores and swap stories of your daily adventures.

The interior is full of comfortable, social spaces, including an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a formal dining room, and a living room with a large sectional and a smart TV to watch in the warmth of the electric fireplace. Among the other special features of the house are a home fitness room, smart TVs throughout, a private washer/dryer, central AC, and radiant floor heat for your year-round comfort.

Nice house, great for our family get together
The house was nice and open well equipped with supplies. We enjoyed the pool table and it was a comfortable stay. We had trouble finding the switch to turn on the gas fireplace so I reached out to Vacasa in the evening and never heard back until I reached out again the next morning. Then I went around and around with an AI system for most of the next day. Then it was referred to a real person who helped me immediately. This is no reflection on the house, but info if you rent this house and need help. Overall we had a nice stay.

Perfect vacation home
We most definitely will stay here again in the future if our vacation adventures take us back to the area. I am OCD about cleanliness above all else and this home was spotless making me super happy from the start. The beds were the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in being away from home. The 4 bedrooms are spacious. The staff was very responsive via text…like within minutes. Very impressive! A thermostat for each room was another bonus. If you are on the fence, hesitate no more. This is an exceptional place to stay and I highly recommend!

Amazing property
This property was phenomenal for our large family with 4 private bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The kitchen and dining room are large and very functional. While we didn't use the background there is a ton of space. Our favorite space was the large living room where we enjoyed several football games on a very large tv. I highly recommend this property.

Lovely Home in Essex
This was a great rental. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, lots of communal space five minute walk from Woodmans. The house provided linens as well as beach towels. We used the fire pit to roast marshmallows and the high top fire table on the porch to hang out together. We loved the gym and pool table too. Extremely responsive and helpful communication with management for any question. We would absolutely rent here again.

The house is extremely large and was pretty much like the description says. We did have a hard time getting over the musty smell downstairs and the primary toilet is loud when flushed. But the house was clean and the renovated bathrooms are very nice. The deck is amazing and a great space to gather. The best part, comfortable beds!

Essex Stay
Our time in Essex was top notch. This property has everything a group could ask for—a well stocked kitchen, plenty of space to spread out and relax and work, easy access to restaurants and shops, and close proximity to area attractions and Boston. Kid and dog friendly. Don’t hesitate to book this spacious property.
