view large image

Direct waterfront on picturesque Goose Cove, this immaculate property provides endless delights, both inside and out. This sunny and welcoming home is situated at the water's edge of the cove and offers three large bedrooms and 3 full baths as well as a lovely eat-in kitchen, formal dining and living areas and a big sun porch aka family room. Boasting gleaming hardwood floors throughout the house except in the tiled kitchen and baths, the house positively shines. Enter into the foyer off of which is the first bedroom with twins. Down a short hall is the fully applianced and cheery kitchen with oak cabinets, plenty of counter space and a dining area surrounded by windows overlooking the cove. Down the hall and past the red and white bath (with an oversized shower) enter into the open concept formal dining and living rooms with views and a fireplace. The last room on this level is the sun room, which may be the favorite, with a vaulted ceiling and lots of comfortable seating to enjoy the 50+ inch flat screen TV and those views! Walk out onto the wraparound deck and down into the multilevel yard which eventually ends in the water... Upstairs are two master bedrooms each ensuite with a full bath, one with a double bed and the other a queen with a built in office space and even better views from the higher elevation! Launch your kayaks from the dock, into tidal Goose Cove which is locally well known for its "whitewater" that appears near the causeway when the tide is coming in. Other than that the cove is tranquil and serene with abundant birdlife and amazing sunsets. To accommodate more guests (up to 14), this house may be rented with the 2 bedroom cottage next door (sleeps up to 6 people) at a special rate - ask your rental specialist!

    a guest from New York, NY recommends this vacation rental

    The house was in great shape when we arrived. There was plenty of room for our party of four adults and two kids. The two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms were perfect for the adults and the bedroom with the two twin beds was great for the kids. There were plenty of towels, linens, dishes, pots, etc. We grilled a couple of nights on the brand new gas grill. The location was on a quiet residential street and it was a few minutes to the supermarket. The central air was welcome on hot days. The wifi was slow in the mornings but fine in the evenings. The views of the cove were very special. We will be back!

    a guest from Stockton-on-Tees, UK recommends this vacation rental

    A fantastic property in a beautiful, peaceful location! The house is spacious, comfortable, very clean and easy to find. Shops, restaurants and other amenities only a few minutes away in Gloucester. A Whale watching trip is a must.

    • Manager Responded on 10/26/2011

      Thank you for your review Charlotte and it truly is a wonderful property in a perfect location. I just love how much you feel a part of the environment when you are inside the house and how the dock is tiered down to the water. Come back and see us next summer! AVH staff

    a guest from Meadville, PA recommends this vacation rental

    We were pleasantly surprised by the size and general attractiveness of the house. It is well maintainted, clean and easy to navigate. We were somewhat surprised by people coming in the make repairs without prior notice but other than that it was a very good place to stay.

    • Manager Responded on 7/25/2011

      We apologize for any inconvenience this caused, but as you can see the property is well-maintained. The property owner had expected the work to be done prior to your arrival and made sure it was done while you were there, again sorry for the suprise! We are very pleased that you enjoyed yourselves and the property, Water's Edge! AVH staff

    Christy B from Carlisle, MA recommends this vacation rental

    This house was very comfortable, especially during a week with 5 inches of rain! Very nice furnishings, plenty of space to be together or be separate. The views of water, on two sides, are lovely. Close to everything else you would want to do on Cape Ann, and within walking distance of both Willow Rest (wonderful for breakfast and groceries) and the Annisquam Market.
    Located on Goose Cove, we thought the place would be perfect for kayaking, which it would be for a short paddle. Turns out the outlet from the cove is doable only for a few minutes twice a day, so serious kayakers should plan to transport kayaks elsewhere or live by the tide.
    If you like to cook, bring your own sautee pan.

    a guest from Ravena, NY recommends this vacation rental

    We have stayed here before and would again. It is an incredible house in a great location. Navigating the tides under the causeway is tricky for kayaking but if you time it correctly is fine. We were somewhat disappointed about the exterior cobwebs at
    the front and pantry doors and the lack of lawn maintenence. Our major concern was the upstairs air conditioning failed and the condition of the walkway to the dock from the deck. The center wooden slat was rotted out and I fell through it. We called AVH to
    notify them and the following day a handyman arrived who nailed a board over it.He said he would be back the next day to repair it and he said an air conditioner repair guy would also come. Neither appeared nor called during the duration of the stay. AVH did
    address the deck issue but never inquired about any possible injury from falling through the walkway. The interior of the house was spotless.

      We are happy that you, for the most part, enjoyed your return to Water's Edge. We are very sorry to hear that the property manager did not communicate that the complete ramp repair would be delayed. Ann Marie did have a follow up conversation with your wife to inquire as to whether you were injured or not, and was informed, thankfully, that you were OK. We will bring this to the property manager's attention, so this kind of thing does not happen in the future. We do hope that you will be returning for a third year to Water's Edge!
