Photos and Description of the Gloucester - Annisquam vacation house rental 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms; Beds for 7 and sleeps max of 9

You can’t get better views than this! Designed by a Harvard-affiliated architect, the glass-enclosed sunroom has wall-to-wall views of the ocean. An upstairs deck offers more break-taking views. Grill on the deck or pack sandwiches for the beach. Hear the ocean all over the house! ******* The interior of the house has beautiful hardwood floors and is filled with light. When you aren't at the beach, wile away the hours admiring the glittering Atlantic from the sun room, or cozy up with a good book. ****** From the house, it is a 5-10 minute walk to each of two nearby beaches, Good Harbor Beach or Long Beach. If you’ve never been to Good Harbor Beach, you’re in for a treat! At low tide, the waves part and you can walk to a nearby island! (To visualize this, imagine Moses and the Red Sea.)

Notes: Children are welcome, although please talk to the owner about the inherent dangers of a home located right near the ocean's edge. The first floor of the house is set up to be fully functional on its own, so is suitable for elderly. However, there is one step to get into the house, and two steps to get from the living room to kitchen/dining room/sunroom. So, guests will need to be able to handle a few steps. Max parking of three cars. Like many ocean homes in the Briar Neck area, no A/C. However, ocean breeze almost always keeps the house cool in the summer.

Our lobster dinner tradition: One of our family's traditions is to eat a fresh lobster dinner during our stay, while admiring the waves and the light of the sunset from the sunroom. We highly recommend it! Enjoy the relaxing sounds and sight of the ocean--and a fine meal--all at once.

Other Activities: Whale-watching, lobster eatin'

Want a relaxing vacation?

KU Jayhawk Fan Baldwin City, Ks
Review Submitted: June 10, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My wife, two teenage daughters and I just spent a week the end of May '09 at Four Winds. The house was everything the owner said it was and more. Very clean and spacious with magnificent views. My wife enjoyed her coffee every morning on the deck taking in the beautiful view of the Atlantic and the sound of waves crashing onto the rocks below. The location was perfect for our day trips to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Plymouth and into Boston. The days we stayed at the house were relaxing with the local communities of Gloucester and Rockport a treasure to explore as well. The women loved the shops at the Rockport wharf and found some pretty good deals (shoes and clothes of course). If you want great lobster (prepared for you or for you to prepare) you've got to go to Roy Moore Lobster Co. also at the Rockport wharf. Friendly, very helpful service, good prices, excellent quality. You also have to try the ice cream at the Dairy Bar just about three blocks from the house. Fortunately (or unfortunately if you're diet conscious) you go past it every time you leave the house. But the price is right and the size of their servings is extremely generous. We will definitely rent this house again anytime we will be in the New England area and highly recommend it to any of you that might be considering a trip to this area. The owner was fantastic to work with - so nice and accomodating with all my questions by prompt email communications. I would echo the owner's warning about small children. If they are not well behaved or you're not watching them all the time, the trade off to this beautiful view is a sheer drop off just beyond the retaining wall.

Incredible vacation home with great ocean view!

Bailey01 Hudson Valley, NY
Review Submitted: April 5, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
Our vacation in Gloucester was a splendid week, due mainly to this fabulous house. The house is situated on a quiet street, is clean, comfortable, charming, and has everything you need.

We were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the beds, and other furniture is.

The view from the deck and from the large living room windows is breathtaking, you can see the ocean, just as far as the eye can see, and if that's not enough, there are binoculars. Lots of really cool bird activity to watch, too!

You will see lobstermen navigate their boats close to the shoreline to hoist up, unload and reset their lobster pots.

The house is only a few minutes drive time from the center of Gloucester were there are many excellent restaurants to choose from. There is super fresh seafood everywhere. Rockport is just a bit further, but still a nice drive. After dinner, make sure you save room for ice cream. There is an ice cream stand only a few blocks from the house. Ice cream lovers **DON'T** miss it!

The owners are honest and friendly to deal with, and this house delivers as advertised.

We look forward to vacationing at Four Winds again, and would recommend it to the most discriminating of travelers.

Our holiday in Gloucester

Greydove Castle Hill, NSW, Australia
Review Submitted: March 29, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
My friends and I had a wonderful week in Gloucester at Erica's house on the cliff. The house was exactly as described and was immaculately presented. My bedroom with the magnificent deck outside had the most beautiful view over the Atlantic Ocean. A highlight of course was our boat trip whale watching - so close to the whales - something that doesn't happen for us in Australia. Thoroughly recommend this property for a great getaway - can be whatever you want to make it! Thanks Erica.

Guestbook Comment

HAC174325 Stillwater MN
Review Submitted: November 1, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
I am surprised no one else has commented on this lovely place! The pictures do not do justice to the sunroom, which is very large, with a full dining room table. Located right on the ocean, you cannot help but relax the moment you sit down in this sunroom. The home is very comfortable, kitchen is well equipped, and all the beds are VERY COMFORTABLE, especially the king bed in the lovely master bedroom. This bedroom has a sliding glass door to the upstairs deck, which makes for wonderful sleeping. I rented this home for a week, coming from Minnesota to visit my daughter in Boston, and was not sure what to expect. It was wonderful, right down to listening to the Robert Shaw Chorale on the stereo system! You are near a full service grocery store, and the drive from Gloucester to downtown Boston (if not in rush hour) is between 35 and 40 minutes. I am renting this home again in May when my daughter graduates from college. Thanks, Erica, for an enjoyable and relaxing week. And don't forget to visit Lobstaland...great food.
Owner's Response: Thanks Linda--Yes, I haven't figured out how to get a really good picture of the sunroom for our webpage... Thanks for the feedback!
