About this property

Waterfront Home - big screened-in porch + dock. Sunsets, swimming, paddling!

Located on the waterfront of Little River (offshoot of Annisquam) in Gloucester, Cape Ann, sweeping ocean river views, gorgeous sunsets, and a direct water access dock perfect for hanging out and watching the tide come and go. Swim, fish and paddle board (at high and medium high tide)! Kids love to look for crabs and snails at low tide. Watch the ospreys, egrets, herons and bald eagle family fish. Nap, read or dine on the screened-in porch or in the patio/yard area overlooking the water. Close proximity to beaches - Stage Fort beach and park (5 min drive) and Good Harbor and Wingersheek beaches (12 min drive). Explore the many cafes, shops, bakeries, restaurants and nightlife in Gloucester center.

Lots of beds for your whole family! There are 3 bedrooms on the top floor and 2 bonus rooms on the bottom floor that can used for sleeping. The three main bedrooms are on the top floor along with the kitchen, family room, full bath and porch. One bedroom overlooks the river with a king bed. A second bedroom is small with three twins beds, perfect for kids. The third has a full size bottom bunk and twin top bunk as well as a free standing twin bed. Below the main floor, in the walk-out basement, located on the water side, is a bonus den/office as well as a bedroom with a queen bed and a trundle twin bed. For larger groups, there is an overflow old school un-renovated 1/2 bath with a sink and toilet in the unfinished part of the basement near the bedroom, off the den. The den in the walk-out basement has a desk and chair and queen bed. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off the salt water.

There are two outdoor dining options - one on the patio by the walk-out basement overlooking the river which seats 4-6 and the other is on the screened-in porch, off the living room, which seats 8 or more. Small indoor dining seats 4. Renters can use paddle boards, dock and raft. Motor Boat is not in use for renters.

Wonderful week on the water
My friends and I had a wonderful, relaxing week at this lovely, comfortable house on the Annisquam River. Great swimming off the dock at high tide, and one of our group really enjoyed paddle boarding - watching striped bass jumping and waterfowl fishing. Waking to birdsong is a super way to start the day. The spacious screened-in porch is perfect for reading, conversing and enjoying a meal while savoring the view. Nice outdoor shower is a bonus. Margaret the owner is super friendly, helpful and responsive. The overall experience gets a 10 out of 10!

Great place!! For sure we will rent again.
We had an amazing time during our stay here. The views are beautiful and we had a stunning sunset. We swam to the raft and lounged in the sun. We loved paddle boarding along the river and seeing the egrets and osprey. My niece loved crabbing at low tide. Reading and eating on the porch was perfect. Town was a short drive and has a great bookstore. Good Harbor beach had fun waves for boogie boarding. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen fully stocked for cooking. Margaret was an attentive host and our questions were answered quickly. I highly recommend this rental!

Hello I live in Massachusetts with my daughters and dogs. We are hosting our waterfront vacation home for families and groups who will love it as much as we do. It’s the perfect spot for swimming, paddling and enjoying nature. Whether you like gorgeous sunsets over the water, watching sea birds fish, crabbing at low tide, sunning yourself on the dock or naps on the chaise lounge chairs, this is an outdoors delight for all ages. We hope you will treat it as if it’s your own!
