Lovely Rental with great views
by PhilippeLovely 2-bed, 2-bath house with water access for kayaking, a nice terrace and cute gazebo.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Sunset Cove. The cove is beautiful and peaceful. The gazebo is very quaint. The home is very comfy and immaculately clean. The kitchen is very well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, bakeware, utensils. There is a nice selection of books and some puzzles. The layout of the home is very nice for families/couples, allowing privacy with bedrooms and bathrooms. The two main bathrooms were very nice, with large showers. The upper floor bathroom had a soaking tub. There were plenty of towels. There were soap/shampoo/conditioner products but I was unfamiliar with the brand. There was even fragrance free laundry pods and dishwasher pods. We would definitely stay again if in the area.
The Cape Ann area was lovely for a family vacation. The house has tremendous views. Spacious and well-appointed. Great spot to soak in the water views. Very comfortable.
Lovely as Ever
by Penny CobeyHaving loved this house in 2022 I rented it again in 2023. It’s as beautiful as ever, and we loved the views over the Annisquam River. The downstairs suite was great for my son, and when my daughter made a surprise 24-hour visit, she happily climbed the ladder into the upstairs loft at bedtime and was very comfortable. We had a couple of questions for AVH which were answered promptly. Looking forward to returning in 2024!
Marvelous Place, Beautiful Location
by PennyA first-class home in a beautiful spot overlooking the Annisquam River. I enjoy cooking on vacation and was impressed by how fully furnished the kitchen was. Every tool you could want. The veranda outside is perfect for enjoying the river. A few hundred yards north is the footbridge to the village of Annisquam, a delightful walk. We were ten minutes by car from Main Street Gloucester. My only caution: there are about a dozen fairly steep and winding stairs up to the upper level bedroom and down to the lower level bedroom, only partially hand-railed. I navigated these with great care given my creaky knees. However, the house and the location are so pleasant that I would stay here again without hesitation. I also thought that AVH did a great job of communicating with us, sharing key information, providing a few necessaries to save us trouble on shopping, and so forth.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review!
Absolutely Breathtaking!
by LauraI am from MA. but moved to California over 30 years ago. I go back frequently to visit friends and family. My mother passed away and wanted her celebration of life to be back in MA. We decided to have it near the ocean because that is her favorite place to be. We had the celebration of life at the Elks in Gloucester and decided to stay in Gloucester vs. Burlington where we typically stay to be close to family. This spot was PERFECT for my husband daughter and I. Views from every room - huge yard area and equipped with everything you need. We will definitely stay here again. The BBQ is very small and doesn't get very hot so I wouldn't recommend depending on the grill for a large meal but overall perfect spot!
We are so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. We are glad that your stay was comfortable and provided a scenic respite for you during this time. Thank you for staying with Atlantic Vacation Homes and we look forward to your return trip in the future.
Breathtaking Sunsets
by MeganWe enjoyed staying at this rental property. We had a few issues where we contacted the property manager and he was very efficient responding to us and getting our issue resolved. View was amazing. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. All the fans were greatly appreciated since the temperatures were hotter than normal. Sunsets from the gazebo were breathtaking. Only drawback was that since it was on a main road, you could constantly hear the traffic and backing out of the driveway was difficult. We would definitely stay here again.
Amazing stay at Sunset Cove!
by PatrickAbsolutely loved the location and spaces that the home provided! Access to water is right there for low tide walks and paddleboarding (rental company will drop off boats at unit) during high tide. Amazing sunset views. Walkable to coffee shop and a restaurant or 2. Well stocked unit with books and puzzles, kitchen, and laundry. Shower with steam function and multiple shower heads! Friendly and helpful neighbors. Loved this place!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay.
Sunset Cove
by LeslieThe views from the living room and both bedrooms are spectacular! The sunsets are amazing!!! We didn\'t realize the property is tri-level, but easy to manage. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and has everything you could want or need. We had one issue and Atlantic Vacation Homes was both responsive and helpful! It is a challenge parking and getting out onto the main street; however, people were most considerate in stopping to allow us access. It is a lovely property!!!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and especially those views!
Thanksgiving 2021
by Colleen LThis property was great! Beautiful location, appropriate amenities. Recommended adding additional towel rods for downstairs bathroom to accommodate two adults. Was able to cook decent meals with kitchen supplies available. Would love to come back in the spring or summer to really experience the outdoor space! Thanks for a great stay 🙂
