All of our family, from 5 yrs. to 70 yrs., enjoyed staying in this beautiful home in an idyllic setting. Lovely water views and fields of purple salvia can be seen from the kitchen, living room, bedroom, and family room, and spectacular sunsets can been seen from the deck. Our young grandchildren spent most of their days clamming and swimming at the small beach within a short walk from the house. The teenagers loved going to Good Harbor beach, a short ride from the house, and did not even have time to use the many kayaks and paddle boards that were provided. Adults explored the woods and water surrounding the house and found many interesting neighborhoods around Cape Ann. Gloucester's historic harbor, restaurants, bookstore, children’s store, second-hand stores, parks with beaches and walking and biking trails were all a short distance from the house. Books and games, including a ping pong table, helped keep kids engaged at night. After many family vacations on the cape, this vacation was easier even with covid19 restrictions. Karen was an excellent and gracious hostess, providing detailed information about her home and surrounding area and was always available for questions. We would definitely like to return if we don’t buy a house in this area! Many thanks Karen for a wonderful family vacation.
