Walk to all the delicious restaurants on Rocky Neck or meander around its shops and galleries. Many coves and beaches throughout the neighborhood offer access to the water and are perfect for launching kayaks, canoes, and row boats. Niles Beach is also just a mile away. This is an ideal location for photographers and painters. Bring your camera or your easel and enjoy! Off season nightly rates available (3 night minimum). Need accomodations for more than 10 people?

    Chris H from Amherst, NY recommends this vacation rental

    My family has been traveling to Gloucester for over 60 years. Wonson Cove gave me the opportunity to see a section of the city that I wasent familiar with. Rocky Neck was amazing. We dined at The Rudder and Madfish Grill, both were fantastic. The house itself was great. It had plenty of bed space, enough room to accomdate our guests, a very nice kitchen and dinning room and a sun room with a beautiful view. We spend much of our vacation outside in the front lawn overlooking Gloucester Harbor. We swam in the sandy bottom ocean, fished and walked around the cove at low tide. I would reccomend this house without question to any family or group looking for a quiet setting on the ocean with enough room to comfortably enjoy your stay!

    Fabulous property for socializing with friends and family or for those private moments with coffee and the sunset. Outstanding location for walks, dining, drinking, theatre, etc. Owner was totally responsive with questions and more. Love this place.

    Third year here, better than ever at property with it all: beautiful peaceful waterfront just steps away from Rocky Neck galleries, restaurants, theater, more. Owner and AVH always there for every need. Guests love visiting. Very minor points: deck chairs are going, and some aggressive weeding wouldn't hurt.

    The older home is perfect for a family and guests. Note that stairs to second floor bedrooms are quite steep which could be challenging to young children and those with mobility issues. The many windows allow for lovely cross breezes, but many are difficult to open -- could use a little maintenance work there. The owner dropped by and was wonderfully helpful and thoughtful. Thanks for another terrific stay; we'll be back next year.

      Many thanks for your positive recommendation of Wonson Cove. Glad to hear you are returning next year!

    Peaceful location, superb views change hourly with the light and tides, easy walk to busy-ness with restaurants, galleries, shops, first rate theatre. Easy to accomodate guests comfortably. AVH always tops notch, special thanks to property owner Al for being an ace.

    • Manager Responded on 8/22/2011

      Kathleen, Thank you for your review and specific praises for each person. We strive to make it a memorable vacation and all the things you mention like the location, galleries, and theatre help to make it a sure thing! AVH staff

    a guest from Newtown Square, PA recommends this vacation rental

    What a great vacation! This house was just perfect for our family - it can be difficult to find a home that is fun for the kids as well (we have a 3 year old and a 1 year old). A generously sized, safely fenced back yard that overlooks a beautiful cove was just perfect for our kids to play outside. The sun room was a great place for them to play while mom and dad had their morning coffee, too.

    We would have loved to have access to a more secure gate for the top of the stairs, though (there are two very steep staircases), but this wouldn't be a problem for older children. We had the kids sleep in the nice first floor bedroom to avoid any accidents because we weren't comfortable with the gate. This bedroom would also be very nice for someone who can't handle stairs well.

    We'll be coming back next year - we are so happy with the house and can't believe we found such a great house on our first try!

    Thank you again!

    Mary K from Golden, CO recommends this vacation rental

    This home was perfect in every way. We visited Gloucester for a girl's weekend. In this home we each had our own room so that was great. The location is absolutely amazing. Right on the water and just a short walk to a beach or to restaurants, or art galleries. The house is so comfortable and so well-equipped. We loved everything about it!

    We had a fine time using this rental for a week with our extended family of 7. This was a family reunion with a total of 25 members spread over 4 rental houses. We frequently gathered at our place and it had room to accommodate everyone for a meal, etc. The weather was not really favorable, but other than that we were very pleased with our stay.

      Wonderful! We are so gratified that the house met your expectations. Sincerely, The Atlantic Vacation Homes Staff

    very happy but the laundry facilities are old and noisy and
    slow-hard to use without bothering the occupants of the
    bedroom near it. Our bed creaked and is quite soft-loved the new bathrooms! Very special place!

    • Manager Responded on 7/7/2011

      So glad you enjoyed your stay at Wonson Cove and the new bathrooms! We look forward to renting to you again in the near future. AVH staff
