Atlantic Vacation Homes invites you to be our guest on the beautiful North Shore of Boston, MA. Cape Ann is home to the sea-faring communities of Gloucester, Rockport, Essex, and Manchester-by-the-Sea, each of which lay claim to some of the best beaches on the east coast.
Situated a little more than a half-hour’s drive from downtown Boston, Cape Ann is a year-round destination, with something for everyone. In addition to the famous pristine beaches, there are world-class museums and galleries, art colonies, numerous festivals and local events, and the freshest seafood to be found anywhere. Popular activities include boating and fishing, whale-watching, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and golf. Quaint main streets and town squares offer an abundance of charm in addition to a wide variety of shops, restaurants, antiques, historical homes and landmarks.
Follow the coastline north to explore the maritime town of Newburyport and neighboring Plum Island, while heading south takes you to Beverly, Salem and Boston. Easily accessible by car or train, come and see why Boston’s North Shore is one of the best vacation spots in New England.

What Our Guests Are Saying
“This house was really quite perfect! It was convenient, comfortable, clean and cozy! I could have been happy just relaxing at the house admiring the view which was even more beautiful in person! The place was surprisingly well equipped. Communication with the property manager was easy and always responded quickly!! I looked through many properties before booking this one ; I would book it again. We all loved it. You need to see it to believe it!”
“One of the best houses we’ve ever rented, surely a hidden gem. House was clean, nicely decorated and you can’t beat the porch overlooking the water. Location was central to everywhere we wanted to go. Would definitely stay here again.”
“We’ve stayed at many Cape Ann coastal property rentals and this was the best. Won’t stay anywhere else if we don’t have to. Property was as described in ad. Clean, well cared for, everything you need.”
“We had a great time staying at this beach retreat! The two bedrooms were perfect for our family of three. The house was a perfect location — very close to the beach, a beautiful park with a playground and great coffee shops! We stayed for 5 days and would gladly return for a longer stay.”
