About this property

You'll find river life at its best when you stay at this newly-built vacation rental home that sits along the banks of scenic Annisquam River in Gloucester. From the private patio, you will be mesmerized by spectacular sunsets and the parade of boats as they sail, motor, or paddle by.

Annisquam River Sunsets is a comfortable one-level and air-conditioned apartment designed for easy living. From the parking area, follow the short path down a small slope to the private waterfront entrance at the rear of the property. Inside, the cozy living room has plenty of seating and opens to the modern kitchen and dining area. Just off of the living area are two ample-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. Please note that the friendly owners live in the separate upstairs unit.

There is plenty of outdoor space to relax and enjoy the summer breezes and take opportunities for al fresco dining. Swim in the river, kayak to sand bar, fish for stripers, dig for clams, or simply enjoy the tidal beach. This summer home has easy access to the highway and commuter rail for day trips, and is just a few miles away from Gloucester’s beautiful beaches, Good Harbor Beach and Wingaersheek Beach.

Beauty right in front of us…

What a lovely place to stay. It has the warm personality of the owners who were quick to introduce themselves and share with us all the features of outside and all that could enjoy. The view is so calm and lovely. Each day there was something new to see , from the lovely flowers to the rock garden to the sunset to the mist over the water. We felt tended to, but alone. It was a nice combination. This new place for us was a hidden gem in our book (as was all of Gloucester.) Mass!

Not the best for families

We enjoyed our stay for our first family vacation, however, I don’t think this location is best for families with young children. Our girls are one and two years old and this location wasn’t ideal in terms of kids who are early walkers, need a lot of engagement, and safety parameters. First, the apartment is on the lower level with a lot of stone stairs to reach the entrance. The steps are far too large for a child to scale on their own and quite frankly, dangerous if they fall. Those same steps are off the back patio to climb through the gardens towards the dock to the river. A child of our kids ages wouldn’t be able to do this on their own and again, the steps and dock were extremely dangerous for an infant/early toddler. The river is beautiful, calm and a serene area. With high and low tides, you really only get a beach area to play for a few hours at midday. The other times of day, you can’t have a child out there playing unless they’re swimming since the water is over their heads. There’s otherwise no “beach” access. The location is a destination on its own, if you plan to stay there the entire stay, it’s no problem. We wanted to see sights, go to other beach areas, try local restaurants, go shopping and this location was far from literally everything. It was a lot of car time for our family, on top of the 7+ hour ride there and home. I wish there was at least one thing, whether a restaurant or sight to see within walking distance. There’s no bathtub. There’s a walk in shower with a wand attachment for the shower head. Thankfully that wand made bathing our kids possible. The owners of the property also live directly above you. They’re very friendly and welcoming but with screaming kids, kids who sometimes don’t sleep through the night, or kids who wake up extremely early, we felt bad knowing people were above us. They were also very attentive to us, and we would’ve preferred to not be on anyone’s radar. My husband and I both agreed, the location for couples is lovely. For families, I’d find something else.

A FIRST CLASS PLACE

This is the nicest apartment I've ever rented. A delightful location right on the Annisquam River. The place is very clean, and comfortable with everything you may need. The only thing to be aware of......the second bedroom has 2 bunk beds, (twin size) and that bedroom has no windows. The master bedroom is very nice with a queen bed and a window looking over the river.

Serenity

An absolutely beautiful spot to retreat to while exploring the north shore. Whether alone or as a family, this property provides the perfect north shore vacation.. The views are stunning and each day provides something new to experience on the River or near by. The owners are lovely and respect your space but also provide nudges and tips for spots to visit. Full of great recommendations. The location is perfect for exploring Gloucester, Rockbay and other local areas. Lots of choices and options for the family. The sunsets and sunrises are breathtaking.
