Discover Your Perfect Cape Ann Getaway - A Charming Bayview Retreat

Escape to our idyllic retreat, the ultimate vacation spot for you, your family, and friends. Nestled between the picturesque Annisquam Village and Lanesville, our turn-of-the-century Bayview home offers the perfect location to unwind and explore.

Take a leisurely stroll to Plum Cove Beach for a day of sun and sand or venture up our street to enjoy a refreshing swim in the local quarry. A short walk brings you to the Greenbelt hiking trails or if you want to explore Dog Town it's just a short ride away. A mile from us is Halibut Point in Rockport.... There is so much to explore.

As you step into our spacious and updated home, you'll be greeted by an inviting open living space and a new fully equipped kitchen, thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. The first floor boasts a cozy bedroom with a queen bed, while the second floor features two additional bedrooms - one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds with Ipswich Bay right across the way.

Beyond the comforts of your temporary haven, a world of adventure awaits. Indulge in boating, whale watching, fishing, and swimming at breathtaking beaches. Embark on scenic sea kayaking excursions, explore the picturesque biking and hiking trails, and embark on leisurely nature walks. Immerse yourself in Cape Ann's vibrant art community, visit notable museums, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of festivals and farmer's markets.

Let's not forget the "not to be missed" sunsets of Ipswich Bay (right across the street) or take a stroll to Plum Cove beach. And if you’re too relaxed to cook, Gloucester Center is just a seven-minute drive away and has a great selection of restaurants, bars & nightlife! (Don't forget to ask us for our recommendations!) Minutes to Rockport, and easily accessible by commuter rail or car from Boston -- less than an hour away.

Escape to this Cape Ann sanctuary and experience the perfect blend of tranquility, natural beauty, and endless activities.

This is the upstairs unit of a two family house (2nd and 3rd floors)

Here's a glimpse of beautiful Gloucester:

We enjoyed our stay at this multi-family home in Gloucester.
The home was very clean. It was walking distance from the coast and a short drive to town. There were plenty of towels, linens and bedding. Shower was very comfortable with plenty of hot water. Host was very accommodating.

Great spot in Gloucester for a group
Everyone was impressed with the place- it was clean, comfortable and well outfitted. We didn’t get to use the kitchen but it had everything you would need to make some meals. Host Regina was easy to communicate with and responsive, went above and beyond to help us. Great place!

Wedding weekend
We were only in the apartment for short periods in between events. Beds were comfortable- tub/shower combo slow to drain when showering and the furniture although comfortable, was stained. A bit disappointed that there was no coffee to wake up to but overall a good experience!

Great launching point
Centrally located if you plan to spend time in Rockport, Gloucester harbor area, Salem, and Wingaersheek beach. The main level of the apartment was upstairs on the second floor, perfect for catching the breezes. The upstairs of the apartment (so the 3rd floor from ground level) was very very spacious. The main level bedroom was tight but fortunately had some storage space to move the contents of our suitcase into. The owners made check-in and check out super simple. They just supplied the code to get into the apartment, and check-out was just tossing the used towels on the bathroom floor. No hassles! The main level kitchen/dining/living is all open. Great for hanging out even if people are doing different activities at the same time.

Great getaway location in Gloucester.
The space was lovely, clean and definitely big enough for our party of five. The kitchen was well-stocked with equipment; the beds were very comfy. The hosts were lovely and accommodating, and patient while we figured out the parking. The open floor design allowed for great flow between kitchen, dining and living areas. Location; it is in a quiet area of Gloucester - mostly residences. There is a jetty you can walk to across the street; the beach is a bit further and not within visual distance. We never got there. But it's a short drive up to the lovely Halibut Point state park and about 10 minutes to a huge grocery store; downtown is similarly only about 10 minutes away. I'd definitely stay again!

Weekend getaway Salem/Gloucester MA
Impressed with how clean the place was and its overall location. I would have liked the tight steep stairwell and the bedroom placements as opposed to the bathroom. I thought two bedrooms were on the main floor - I may have missed that but didn’t think only one room was upstairs. Lastly the responce time of returning my messages wasn’t great. Overall it was a lovely stay!!

Perfect Cape Ann Retreat
This was a lovely rental for a couple's getaway to Cape Ann. We had never been before, and the hosts provided an excellent guide to the area in the room, as well as providing some restaurant recommendations in a brief and friendly chat after we checked in (all of which were delicious!). The amenities were excellent, especially the balcony which offered a nice spot to relax and make plans for the day. For this stay, it was just the two of us, but the upstairs bedrooms would make this a fantastic rental if you're traveling with kids as well. The hosts were also extremely friendly and communicative any time we needed to contact them. The location provided easy access to both Gloucester and Rockport. I'd highly recommend this property for any travelers to Cape Ann!
