Direct Waterfront Home with Sweeping Ocean Views, Deep Water Dock

Great north shore location. We spent much time in Gloucester, Rockport, and Salem and also ventured into Boston one day. The house was very comfortable for my family of eight. It was extremely clean and very well maintained. Extremely nice property with pleasant owner. AAA+++

My family members and I stayed in this beautiful home. We were two adult couples and my 26 yr old son. I want this review to add more info to the two reviews before me. Everything they stated was absolutely accurate.
Some things not mentioned are:
This home is meticulously clean and fresh (and I am fussy). Comes with tons of linens. Wash & dry machines in basement.
This home is close to everything on Cape Ann. Additionally, my son took a ride into Boston on a Sat. night to meet friends. We ate out frequently; the restaurants (both local and fancy) are great!
The 180 degrees panoramic window and deck views are of the river including a sailboat-filled marina. Fish jumping, seagulls and sea ducks--You feel privileged to sit at that dining table view! Leaves you breath-less!
The house is a combination of old and new. Filled with the character of a vintage home, woodwork, floors, styling; but updated where necessary, kitchen, baths, doors and windows. The owners have furnished it to represent this wonderful combo styling.
We were lucky enough to meet Eileen (one owner) she walked us around the property and filled us with stories of the house and the family’s past. It was delightfully interesting.
The house is comfortable to just sit around, big enough to wander around and waterfront located to make you feel like royalty. The closest beach (Wingaersheek) is a 20 min. drive. Worth the drive. You can’t step out the doors onto the deck, (there is a studio apt. there) but, we walked out the kitchen and down the side of the house and sat on the deck all the time. My family likes to kayak--dropping the kayak into the river right off the backyard boat dock is amazing! I highly recommend this property. I rate it excellent.

This is such a beautiful home in just THE best location. Not only is in on the lovely Annisquam River with it's spectacular views but the home is central to Gloucester, Rockport, Rocky Neck, Ipswich, Salem ,etc. (Just to name a few great nearby towns) The home is also close to the most amazing Wingaersheek and Good Harbor Beaches as well as others. The home is very big, inviting, comfortable and exceptionally clean with ALL the comforts of home.
The neighbors are friendly, if you have the opportunity to see one. The area is quiet and relaxing. My husband caught a huge Striped Bass right from the deck in the back yard. The kids set out crab traps and managed to catch a few crabs as well. I enjoyed the sunsets and watching the tides roll in and out while watching colors dance on the water.
Something for everyone at this great home.
