Bell View
Your Gloucester vacation experience awaits you in this spacious and versatile vacation home. Bell View can accommodate up to 16 people, making it the perfect getaway for family reunions or vacations with friends.
Inside, a one-of-a-kind waterfront scene, hand painted along the staircase by a local artist, greets you as you enter via the formal foyer. Pick your hangout spot from two comfortable living rooms, the family room with a ping-pong table, the sun room, the cheerful kitchen, the umbrellaed patio, or the multiple decks and porches. Your family and friends will slumber pleasantly in the 6 bedrooms, including a separate au pair or in-law suite.
Set on a spacious lot with plenty of level lawn space. In addition, a slate patio in front and a wrap around deck in the back are delightful spots to gather and relax.
Bell View is just a stone's throw from fabled Bass Rocks on Gloucester's Back Shore where you can enjoy looking out at the scenic surf or join the myriad of plein air painters and set up an easel. It's about a mile to Niles Beach and 2 miles from the white sands and surf of Good Harbor Beach. The home is also about a mile to Rocky Neck, the oldest art colony in the U.S. and home to many galleries, shops and great restaurants.
Choose to relax on the multiple decks, or sit on the porch and enjoy the serenity of the grounds. Play games or relax on the vast level lawn.
NOTE: This property is a perfect getaway for extended families. It is not available as a venue for events or parties.

Beautiful home for larger groups
by Danielle RyanMy family and I had an amazing time all staying together under this one roof. The home was beautiful and had lots of space for us to spread out and enjoy ourselves. The game room was a real hit with everyone. I would have given 5 stars if the mattresses had been more comfortable. My kids had difficulty sleeping and my parents woke up sore. If the mattress situation changes, we'll be making this our annual spot! The location was Stellar and we were a short drive or walk to everything we love about the area!
Great Property
by David CGreat property - lots of room to spread out with family over a few days.
Fantastic Gloucester house
by Tom RogersWe had a fantastic week in June. The house was bigger than expected with lots of room for everyone, inside and outside! The house was exceptionally well equipped with everything we needed, especially the kitchen. Very clean throughout the house. It's a quick walk to the ocean where you can climb on the rocks or stroll on the sidewalk. The grandchildren had so much fun they didn't want to leave.
Thank you for your kind feedback, it's great to hear that your whole family was able to have a great vacation.
Had a great trip with some friends. A ton of space in the yard for outdoor games and tennis. Great kitchen, was able to cook several meals for over ten people without issue.
Perfect house for extended family!

by AnnBell View
by MaryWe have stayed here before ( last summer). Overall the house worked for our size group. The location is pretty good. The house is large and has a lot of rooms. The bathrooms need a little work. And A/C should absolutely be put in all bedrooms. Our week was atrociously hot, as was last year. Sleeping almost unbearable without AC. The AVH staff was awesome- quickly brought us towels that were missing and asked if we need aything else immediately after arrival.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It is through this kind of feedback that we are able to improve our properties and our services. We will look into the AC issues that you described.
