About this property

Evensong: Oceanview Retreat with Dock

Unobstructed Water Views of The Annisquam in this newly-renovated "walls of glass" home boasting panoramic views of The Mill River, Jones Creek, Wingaersheek Beach & beyond to the mountains of Maine. Deeded Water access available for enthusiastic kayakers or paddle boarders (please feel free to bring them with you). Enjoy our new dock (which is removed between November-April), shared with our neighbors below us. With a click of the remote cozy up to the gas fireplace & watch egrets, blue heron & cormorants as they glide over the water's surface all from the comfort of your home. Bask in the beauty of spectacular sunsets. Every day is a nature show!

You won't miss a beat in this 1,600 square foot home with an open concept floor plan lending itself to views no matter where you are, even while preparing dinner in the Chef's kitchen featuring a Viking Stove, granite counters, back lit cabinetry & snack bar. Large composite deck with cable rail off the master bedroom overlooking the expanse of water. Young children would require supervision on the roofdeck. Our home features an outdoor grill, 3 bedrooms and 3 baths and sleeps 6-8. New washing machine and dryer on the first floor. It's a quick trip to the beach by paddleboard or kayak or a short drive to several local beaches, Halibut Point, more restaurants, museums, hiking, and quarries. Owners live locally and have a basement apartment (with separate entrance) at the property and will be available for questions/special requests. This is a perfect home for a friends or family retreat. Please no loud parties, as we live in a residential neighborhood.

Everything was perfect! The view was overwhelmingly beautiful, and sunsets were a highlight. The kitchen was fully stocked and easy to navigate. The bedrooms were so cozy and comfy. The bathrooms were beautiful, especially the double shower head one upstairs. Modern and traditional all at once. If I come back to Massachusetts, this is where I'll be staying again.

We had a fantastic four over nights. Everything we needed was there. The view was spectacular. It was a great location for visiting Boston. Salem and Newburyport. Katie is a wonderful hostess, from the time I booked until we left she would get right back to me with my many questions.

Pre-Holiday Couples Getaway

We absolutely loved this property! All of the comforts of home and even some extra touches that made it even more special like binoculars for bird watching and some local beer. Beds were comfortable, plenty of blankets and a very cozy fireplace. I would not hesitate to stay again, stop scrolling if you’re looking to stay in the area!

Paradise in Gloucester!

This property is absolutely charming and its owner/manager, Katie, ensures that your stay is wonderful. We enjoyed a beautiful, relaxing week of ever-changing and expansive water views. The house is clean, nicely appointed and conveniently located near both Gloucester and Rockport. We can't wait to return!

Hi! We purchased and renovated this beautiful home during the COVID shutdown and hope to retire here someday. Katie works in Gloucester and loves anything involving the ocean. We fell in love with the view here, especially the sunset, and look forward to sharing it with you.
