Nestled in a cul de sac and fronting on the Crane River, Afternoon Delight in historic Beverly is the perfect place to watch the river currents glide by. The riverfront wraparound deck offers a blissful place to sit or dine in either sun or shade, thanks to an exterior awning. There is also a gas grill and additional outdoor seating. In the garden, the lower terrace is fully fenced in and has a grape arbor for relaxation in the pleasant shade.
Inside, the carpeted living room has windows on 3 sides, providing an amazing view of the changing river scene. The kitchen is updated and fully equipped, and there are three bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor and has an adjacent bath with a shower that has grab bars. Guests with mobility issues will also appreciate that the front door is flanked by a handle for grasping (if stability is needed) and there is just one small step to get in to the house from the driveway. Central air keeps the house temperate throughout.
This waterfront vacation rental home provides easy access to Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester by the Sea, Ipswich, Newburyport, Salem, Marblehead and Boston. The house is also conveniently located near Salem State University, Landmark School, Bishop Fenwick High School, Gordon College, and Endicott College, offering students, their families, or anyone at all a comfortable and lovely home base convenient to endless local delights.

Highly Recommend
by DanielThis home was amazing. It is very clean and the property managers are very responsive. Everything went as planned. The home sits right on the water and it is close to everything in the area. I highly recommend this place for anyone. Also, we had a guest who is limited in her walking ability and the house was very handicap friendly.
Thank you so much for your glowing review!
Perfect home!
by Allison PThis house is exactly as described, immaculately clean and was a perfect space for our trip. Highly recommend this home!
Thank you for your glowing 5-star review!
Amazing find!
by Nicole30 minute drive into the heart of Boston. It was the perfect location to see Boston, feel the peace outside the city and only a stones throw away from Salem. The river front was our favorite part. Master suite is ground level. Other two rooms upstairs. This gave a nice privacy from the master suite to the other rooms.
Thank you so much for your glowing review!
Loved it!
by JodiOne 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.
Afternoon Delight
by CharleneThis rental offered by AVH lives up to its name. We have rented it once before (a few years ago) and it has been maintained so well. It’s clean, has clear instructions, plenty of room, great internet, and a perfect spot because you’re on the water but can walk to a nearby park! We will definitely stay again!
Thank you for taking the time to share your 2020 experience with us! We're happy that you had a great vacation and we're looking forward to your next visit.

by JulieGreat holiday
by HaleIt has been an amazing holiday for us. The location was really convenient. The house was really homey, clean and beautiful. It was a house that could answer to all needs. The view enchanted us. Since it was located in one of the best and most central places in Mass it shortened our trip times. We recommend this property to everyone.

by JasonBest Way to End the Summer
by LisaWe rented Afternoon Delight the last week in August. The house is beautiful! Well equipped, clean, comfortable and a wonderful view from the back deck. The location was terrific - just 30 minuted from everyplace we wanted to go (beaches, Boston, shopping). We had a terrific week and look forward to renting this place again!
Thank you for your glowing review!
