About this house rental
Waterfront on the Annisquam River in Gloucester, this exceptional vacation rental boasts wonderful views of the river and of Ipswich Bay. You will never forget the sunsets seen from the deck or from the delightful gazebo.
Inside, there are water views from just about every window! The large, open living room includes plenty of comfortable seating with spectacular views of the river and beautiful yard. Just off the living room is a library filled with a variety of books and a comfortable working nook with a desk. The custom galley kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, storage and countertops for food prep.
There are two primary bedroom suites with full baths on two separate floors as well as a sleeper sofa in the living room. On the lower level, the laundry area includes a washer/dryer and plenty of countertop for folding.
Multiple decks and terraced patios overlook the water and the beautiful grounds, with perennials and a gazebo for outdoor dining on those soft balmy evenings.
The historic village of Annisquam is less than a mile away. Downtown Gloucester with its great restaurants and seafaring treasures is four miles in one direction and Rockport and Bearskin Neck and the Shalin Liu Performance Center are just five miles in the other direction where you can easily explore many of the local shops and restaurants that the area has to offer.
There is off-street parking in the driveway for 2 cars.

The house was clean and very comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The views were beautiful. Check in and check out were very easy. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Beautiful home with amazing ocean view. The house was cozy and well stocked for our week stay. The town is great and the house was close to stores and restaurants.

Lovely cottage overlooking Sunset Cove. The location is ideal for wondrful walks around Gloucester and a short distance to Annisquam over the footbridge. The open living-dining-kitchen area with windows across the back make you feel like your on a boat.The downside, is it's pretty close to the road so you can hear traffic on Washington Street at night. The 2 bedrooms are very different. One is on the upper floor with lots of light and the lower level is cool and darker. But both very spacious.All in all a great place to call home for your vacation.

Reviewer Comments:
I own a business in MA and had been looking forward to this vacation for months. We got to the house and spent 10 minutes trying to get in. The lockbox wasn’t working, but finally we got in. Initial impression was a gorgeous home with an amazing view. As we settled in, we noticed there were thermostats on the walls, but none of them work. The heat is steam, and is controlled by a dial. No instructions, so 2 of our party froze the first night. The beds were comfortable. Our shower head was loose so water sprayed all up the wall and we had to fix that. The second da our internet went out because the owners didn’t pay their bill (the TV actually have a message stating bill was not paid), so my wife and I couldn’t connect to work (we stated this was important prior to ever coming there). At 3.5k for a week, it **** sure isn’t because they can’t afford it. The coffee pot was 100 years old and took 30 minutes to brew coffee (again, for the price, pretty ridiculous). To AVH’s credit, we called them and the internet was fixed that day and they brought us a new coffee pot. There were several other things (neighbors running power tools early in the morning, etc.) but it was a decent stay, overall. I would not get this house again, but I will be using AVH again. Great company.
