Swimming pool & waterfront with a deepwater dock for your boat! This classic New England home, in Gloucester's aptly named Riverview neighborhood, has been renovated and professionally decorated for style and comfort. It is perched on a knoll with 1.5 private acres extending to the shores of the Annisquam River. The views of the river and the bay just beyond are breathtaking.

Launch your kayaks and canoes from a choice of 2 on-site beaches where you can swim or jump off the dock. Splash in the pool or lounge in the shade of the gazebo while finishing that novel that has long awaited your attention! Lovely granite walkways allow you to explore the landscaped grounds and lead to a choice of patios, one with an authentic mooring stone table. Benefit from the ambiance of a bygone era combined with the amenities of today. From the shaded granite veranda, enter the living room with fieldstone fireplace, large TV and sofa bed for extra guests. An adjacent sitting area overlooks the pool, with door to veranda, and flows into the formal dining room. Step up two stairs to the unique round riverside sitting room filled with wicker.

    We enjoyed a wonderful 50th Wedding Anniversary of our parents. We are a large family and the home and grounds were perfect for our outing.

    a guest from Amherst, NH recommends this vacation rental

    The house was lovely. At first, we were apprehensive about the location being too far from the ocean but it worked out perfectly. The river in the back allowed for clamming, kayaking, and canoeing. The pool area was very nice as well. We had a lot of small children and the flexibility of the river, pool, and ocean as well as the clamming provided a vacation kids will remember for a long time.

    a guest from The Hague, NETHERLANDS recommends this vacation rental

    We had a fantastic week in The Point, we give all items a 5 and would definitely recommend this house to friends. Everything was perfect apart from very little things such as lacking a corkscrew (we bought one for the house) and one of the toilet slushes in the bathroom upstairs did not work so well. Thank you so much for giving us such a splendid house for rent. Kind regards, Alexandra + 8

    a guest from Clinton, NY recommends this vacation rental

    Being on a tidal river was a treasure for the children, exposing hermit crabs, clams, etc. at low tide. The grounds were straight out of Grimm fairy tail, with secret hiding places for children (and adults) The house was also great fun. A memorable family vacation spot.

    Stacey H from Lynnfield, MA recommends this vacation rental

    The new deepwater dock is great however the property is becoming so overgrown that you can not view the river very well from the pool area. The first floor view is also limited as a result. Would also like to see upgrades in the beds and bedding, a new refrigerator/dishwasher and more comfortable seating in the round room. Overall, the property is unique and is a fun place to stay for large families and children.

    Jason P from Redding, CA recommends this vacation rental

    Some pool issues, house does have some constraints due to age, Wi-Fi never was figured out (had to use mobile broadband by Verizon), and the beds were TERRIBLE.
    Ultimately, for the $6,000 price point per week, I would suggest, at a minimum, these things get fixed.
