We enjoyed this home very much. It's incredibly clean, lots of beds, kitchen stocked with any supplies needed and the best part - very close walk to Singing Beach and downtown MBTS. Robin took great care of us and we would absolutely love to return to this house. It was a joy to stay here.
The house is wonderful — great kitchen and living room and a screened in porch great for coffee or eating meals. Barely a 5 min walk to Singing Beach, best beach on North Shore. Robin is a welcoming host. Highly recommend!!

Five stars in every category — a wonderful house and owner. And the area (beach, town, Cape Ann, proximity to Boston, Salem, biking and hiking, etc) can’t be beat. Would love to return next year!
This was my family's second visit to the Yellow House, and it won't be the last. House sparkling clean, beds very comfortable, host very responsive. And location can't be beat!
Robin’s house was better than expected. The location to both singing beach and downtown Manchester was ideal and the house is comfortable, both inside and out. Robin was a welcoming host and very easy to communicate with. Thanks, Robin!
The house is incredibly beautiful AND comfortable - has everything you need. Screened in porch is great for meals. Short 7 minute walk to Singing Beach, one of the best beaches on the North Shore. Robin is very responsive. Highly recommend. S
We were so happy to be able to spend time at Robin's beautiful home once again. Location can't be beat, the house is set up perfectly for our multi-generational family, and Robin was so understanding and flexible regarding our pre-visit questions. Thanks, Robin!
This was our family’s second year staying at Robin’s and it was as equally fabulous as the year before. The house is perfect for a family and gives you access to all of the great things Manchester offers. Robin keeps the place in fabulous shape and is always easy to reach if you have any questions. We could not have enjoyed it more. Thanks Robin!
Our multi-generational family of 7 loved staying at Robin's lovely, comfortable home. The house is beautifully decorated; the layout allows for many to gather together for meals and games, and also for those who need it (naps!) to retreat to quiet spaces; the central air, screened-in porch, well-equipped kitchen, large private lawn, sound system, Robin's responsiveness and excellent communication -- all make for comfort and relaxation. And the location can't be beat: we walked to and from the beach and the playground several times a day, even with a one-year-old; we took the train to Rockport and Gloucester for outings, we explored shops and nature trails throughout Cape Ann. A fabulous house, perfect location, and perfect vacation. Thanks, Robin!
This adorable cottage is even better (& bigger) in person! Our children loved the large lawn almost as much as the beach down the street. The house had everything we needed for the week and was clean and comfortable. We hope to go back again next summer!
This is a lovely property, even in the rain. There was nothing not to love about this house- comfort,proximity to beach, and a luxuriously outfitted kitchen. A great place.

A terrific place - just a short walk or bike ride from Manchester center.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful home. It was well equipped, nicely laid out, and in a great location. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom showers were great. The living room was a lovely place for socializing and the window seat was a cozy reading spot. Robin & Gary were very responsive whenever we needed anything. There was easy access to scenic Singing Beach. All in all, a wonderful spot!
Thank you, Robin & Gary!

Perfect house and location
Gary and Robin’s house is a true gem in Manchester By-the-Sea. The location could not be better (short walk to town and beach). The house is nicely furnished and comfortable, having had a very thoughtful restoration recently. Offering a fabulous floor plan, the house provided our family of four an amazing home away from home for two weeks. We dined on the screened in porch, used the grill many nights and the kids loved playing in the very large flat yard. We walked to town for groceries, ice cream at Captain Dusty’s, dinner at local restaurants and walked to the beach every day. Smith’s point offers a great 2 mile walk along the water as well. The bathrooms are spacious and have fabulous water pressure while the kitchen accommodates a serious chef. We didn’t have a single issue during our stay and so look forward to a return visit. Thank you Robin and Gary!

This beautiful house can be totally enjoyed.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week’s residence in this charming house, beautifully located near Singing Beach and in Manchester by the Sea. Carefully and tastefully appointed and decorated this historic house is a gem. The owners, Robin and Gary, genuinely welcomed us in a way that added to the warmth of our enjoyment.

New England charmer
Charming New England home with beautiful expansive lawn close to beaches and town. The home is beautifully appointed with high-end appliances. We spent quite a time on the porch and barbecuing outside. The owner was responsive and very helpful. The train is only two blocks away which allows guests to easily visit Boston or Rockport. I highly recommend this home.

Absolutely Charming!
We spent three weeks in the delightfull community of Manchester by the Sea in this charming home. The home is within walking distace to all of our favorite places to eat as well as to the beach and the local sailing doc. The home was fully equipped, met our needs perfectly, and the owners made us feel like welcomed guests. If you want to feel like a local, this is the place for you!
