Gather your loved ones for the ultimate Gloucester getaway at Bell View, a stunning and spacious vacation home that accommodates up to 16 guests. Located near Bass Rocks on Gloucester’s Back Shore, this inviting home offers a rare private pickleball and tennis court, multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and beautifully landscaped grounds. Whether you're planning a getaway with friends or a multi-generational retreat, Bell View provides the perfect setting for relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable memories.
Inside, a grand hand-painted waterfront mural, created by a local artist, welcomes you in the foyer. The home offers multiple inviting spaces to gather and relax, including two living rooms, each with comfortable seating and a fireplace, a bright sunroom, and a spacious family/game room with a ping-pong table. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing meals, with a large farmhouse dining table and easy access to the back deck for outdoor dining.
With six bedrooms and six bathrooms, the accommodations are plentiful and thoughtfully arranged to suit families and groups. The layout includes two king bedrooms with ensuite baths, a bunk room for kids, and additional rooms with full and twin beds. A private third-floor in-law suite features its own bathroom, kitchenette, and deck, providing a separate space while staying connected.
The expansive outdoor spaces provide plenty of space for your favorite activities. Spend your mornings sipping coffee on the wrap-around deck, your afternoons playing pickleball or tennis on your own private court, and your evenings gathered on the patio under the stars.
Bell View is located just a short walk from Bass Rocks, where you can admire the stunning rocky coastline, watch the surf crash, or even set up an easel like the plein air painters who are drawn to this breathtaking setting. Niles Beach is just a mile away, and the white sands of Good Harbor Beach are only two miles from your doorstep. The home is also just a short drive from Rocky Neck, the oldest art colony in the U.S., where you’ll find unique galleries, shops, and fantastic restaurants.

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.
Bell View
by DavidGreat house. Yard is huge, tons of space and plenty of separate areas to gather.
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.
