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, Bell View also boasts a tennis court. The adjacent shed is replete with all kinds of sports equipment for your use. 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. Host some friendly games of tennis, basketball or street hockey on your own court or play games on the vast level lawn.

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.
