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)

With leaves on the trees, we could just barely see the ocean from the outside deck - the location was great. Busy road, so the traffic was noisy, but that's Gloucester.
Our first air B&B stay and we are blessed it was with Regina. She is super accommodating, lots of recommendations around the area, and friendly. We enjoyed veggies straight from her garden, thank you!! It was a pleasure staying here!!
The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The host responded quickly when we had a question. Location was convenient to all the activities that we planned. (Boston,Gloucester, Rockport and York, Maine)I would highly recommend this property!
Unit was just as described, comfortable, well maintained, and very clean. Host was friendly and left lots of helpful information. Convenient to both Rockport and Gloucester.
Our family came up for a quick weekend getaway. The place was clean and the location was ok. Rockport Bearskin neck area is nice for shops and to walk around town.
We had such a fun time on our girls' weekend. This spot was a great location to visit Gloucester and Salem. We enjoyed the property; it was exactly as described. Would recommend this location.
This apartment was crisp, bright, and spotlessly clean. A great location for outdoors exploring. Hosts were great with communication and allowed us privacy. Highly recommend, blissfully quiet location and lots of options for going out or staying put.
Place was perfect for the short stay while waiting for a surprise party at a relatives house. Centrally located and easy access for swing the sights. Very well appointed and clean. Owners are awesome people.
We had a great time staying at this property. It was just a quick ride to the train station. We spend the majority of our time in Salem. The house was in a great location.
We booked to be near family in Gloucester and were comfortable and happy with our choice. It’s a roomy home, with enough space for our famiky to gather for a meal at the dining table. Beds were Just right for a good night’s sleep.
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.
We stayed in Gloucester for a family wedding. The space was clean, well stocked and comfortable. It’s about a 10 minute drive from downtown, and easy to get to dining and sights. There is a nice deck with comfortable seating. Overall it was just what we needed for our two night stay!
This was a great property for my family. It has plenty of room for two adults and two kids and a great deck off the living room. The owners offer beach chairs and umbrellas. The property was clean and comfortable and the hosts were very responsive. It’s in a lovely part of Gloucester and is walkable to a small, local beach. We would definitely come back!

We were greeted by Regina when we arrived and she was very nice and helpful. The VRBO was probably the cleanest one we have ever stayed in and was decorated beautifully. It did not have the ocean view that we thought it would from the listing but was very close to downtown.
