    The property at Riggs Point has a fantastic view, wonderful space for our large family, and water access to the Annisquam River. We had everything we needed at the property and enjoyed their beautiful patio and dock. What a lovely place to spend time as
    a family. Thanks so much!

      Riggs Point is so great, with the unobstructed views of Wingaersheek Beach and the river, and the living space is open and inviting. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your time "out east" and you be sure to come back and visit real soon. AVH staff

    It was a great vacation house.
    Atlantic was extremely helpful finding the right home for our needs, since we didnt know the area. There were no surprises. EVERYTHING exceeded our expectations.

    Pamela P from Ridgewood, NJ recommends this vacation rental

    This house is perfect for 10 people including a grandmother who needs a first floor bedroom. It is beautifully situated with a gorgeous view and a lovely balcony from which to watch the tides and boats. The open floorplan is airy and inviting. Everything seems to be brand new. Excellent kitchen with every appliance necessary and good solid flatware and cooking pots. The kids loved having their very own dock. Be sure to bring binoculars and a kayak. Shopping in Rockport was fun, and hiking in Dogtown was good exercise.

    Marguerite P from Santa Barbara, CA recommends this vacation rental

    We loved Riggs Point. It was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The house was clean, bright and spacious, and the view is just incredible. We had plenty of room for our family of 5, and there was so much to do and see in Gloucester. We would love to return and make it an annual trip!

    • Manager Responded on 7/7/2011

      Let's hope you can return and make this an annual trip! Riggs Point is so special and we are pleased that you enjoyed its layout, views, and comfortable living space. This is a place to return to over and over again! AVH staff

    Peter H from Crozet, VA recommends this vacation rental

    All of the above get 5's
    Just a couple of things: the trash compactor was ackward because we had never used one before took some getting used to and the lock on the side door wouldn't lock
    We had a great stay and the house had everything we needed
    Please thank the owners for us, it is a wonderful spot and the neighbors were very friendly
    Would love to come back and explore more of the Annisquam River

      Riggs Point is really spectacular in terms of location, but also comfort. The interior is spacious with an open floor plan and the upstairs deck is the place to drink coffee and while away the time. We are very pleased that you enjoyed the property and your time there. AVH staff

    Simon E from Hampshire recommends this vacation rental

    We stayed at Riggs Point for 4 nights, it was all that we'd hope for. A fantastic spot and a great family rental property, with views, more than adequate living spave and all the amenities one could ask for.

    The only suggestion we could come up with would be the availabilty of a kayak or two to play around with. The location and available jetty are ideal for this.

    • Manager Responded on 9/17/2011

      We will certainly pass the 'kayak' suggestion on to the homeowners but, we can also recommend that there are a few kayak rental places on Cape Ann that were featured in our Welcome Book at the property. We are pleased that you enjoyed the property, thank you for your review. AVH staff
