Deeded Water access available for enthusiastic kayakers or paddle boarders (please feel free to bring them with you).

With a click of the remote cozy up to the gas fireplace & watch egrets, blue heron & cormorants as they glide over the water's surface all from the comfort of your home. Bask in the beauty of spectacular sunsets. Every day is a nature show!

You won't miss a beat in this 1,600 square foot home with an open concept floor plan lending itself to views no matter where you are, even while preparing dinner in the Chef's kitchen featuring a Viking Stove, granite counters, back lit cabinetry & snack bar.

The house was amazing as advertised. Lots of small details in the home made it so pleasant and comfortable...a well stocked kitchen to include coffee and cream, and some basics to get us started, a bottle of wine and beer from a local brewery! There were plenty of towels, sheets, beach towels, beach chairs, throw blankets, a couple of games, and an easy to use TV to watch the end of the Olympics.

Evensong house and our host, Katie, exceeded every one of our already high expectations. This beautiful home is just as pictured, and yet it still took our breath away the first time we walked in! It is clean and shining, spacious, serene, and beautifully decorated, with a well-stocked kitchen, seemingly new furniture and extremely comfortable beds and bed linens. The view is incomparable! From the downstairs walls of windows and the gorgeous upper-level deck, we enjoyed every sunrise and sunset, watched the tides rise and fall - revealing marshy islands and tidal pools - saw sailboats and other small boats, kayaks, and a huge variety of birds native to the New England coast. On our last night there we were treated to the full arc of a rainbow. Katie is a spectacular host and a lovely, kind person who instantly responds to questions and wants your time there to be perfect. We are already looking forward our next stay at Evensong!

We had a wonderful time staying in Katie and Jamie's lovely home in the Annsiquam area of Gloucester. Katie could not have been more helpful or responsive to my email queries before we arrived. The home is extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and everything seems brand new and functioned perfectly. There are thoughtful touches everywhere. Before arriving I thought the views could not possibly be as nice as the photos, but seeing the views in person out the living room windows or from the upper floor deck is mesmerizing. We watched birds, watercraft, and kayakers at all hours. We spent alot of time looking, taking photos, and walking down below during low tide. Whether sunny, cloudy, high tide, low tide, sunrise, or sunset, the view is just amazing and unreal looking. I hope we can someday return to this charming home! A+++++++++

Beautiful home with incredible view.

Our family had a fantastic weekend in the beautiful home. We even had a proposal happen on the deck under a beautiful rainbow across ocean landscape. Property owners were easy to communicate with. We will definitely come back for another visit.

Amazing!

Amazing!

The house was absolutely perfect in every way for our family. The views from the house are stunning and the surrounding area is incredibly beautiful. We enjoyed the recommendations Katie made and went to the Eastern point lighthouse for sunset, halibut park and stopped at the lobster pool for a lobster roll. We can’t wait to go back!

This place is the real deal

This place is the real deal

Can't add much to what's already been written, except to say that the house lives up to expectations (and the best reviews) in every respect: great location, great view of the tidal estuaries, the back of Wingaersheek Beach, and the ocean. The house is beautifully laid out and maintained, well provisioned, short drives to everything the area has to offer. We were really happy with the place and out time there.

We were in town for a wedding. This house is great! The view is beautiful, we were lucky to see an eagle catch a fish in the water and take his time eating it on a rock.

You won’t want to leave

You won’t want to leave

This property is perfect for our group of adults. Everything was just as it should be inside: furniture , appliances, dishes, linens were all that one could want. The wall of windows and the large top floor deck provide spectacularly beautiful view of the water, boats, clambers, paragliders and birds. Also there is lots to do in the area if you can bring yourself to leave the house.

Fantastic sunsets from the deck

Fantastic sunsets from the deck

Katie and Jamie are excellent hosts. The property is immaculate and in a great location. Easy to access beaches. Great location for paddle boarding at high tide. The views from the deck are spectacular. High tide, low tide and sunsets it’s a photographer and artist’s dream The house was fully equipped. We were found welcoming cold beer in the fridge which was welcome after a long drive. As well as coffee and cream for the next Because it is such a cozy and comfortable house with a fireplace it is a great place for any season

Stunning View

Stunning View

Our family of parents and two teenagers had a great week here. The views from the open living room and the upstairs deck are unbelievable and we were treated to some spectacular sunsets. Our son enjoyed the easy kayak access. It is a few miles drive to local beaches, but for us the location was still worth it. The house is well supplied with kitchen and bathroom soaps and the kitchen has all the necessary appliances. There is sufficient dishware for family meals, and enough cookware and serveware for basic meals, but consider bringing along any special cooking tools you may need for fancier meals. Katie was very helpful and easy to deal with. Thanks again for a great week!

Exceptional rental, with views for days

Exceptional rental, with views for days

The pics really don't do justice to the incredible, ever-changing view. The house itself was spotless with new everything (2 kinds of coffee makers!) and tons of attention to detail - everything from craft beer and coffee as a welcome gift to eco-laundry detergent and Viking appliances. The homeowner was super responsive and always helpful. Everything was 15 min away or less - beaches, Rockport, Gloucester center, "the Basket" (Market Basket if you're not a Masshole...) etc. We were all sad to leave and planning to return next summer.

Had a wonderful time on vacation. We absolutely loved the house. Fantastic well stocked kitchen with high end appliances, larger family room for gathering and an amazing deck to view the sunset. Beds were comfortable. Hosts are truly awesome to work with. Loved having access to the water for our kayaks. Can't say enough great things about the place!
