I am partial to Cape Ann, having visited there since childhood, but our recent stay in Gloucester, with access to Annisquam, showed me yet another (wonderful) neighborhood, with easy access to the water and a truly local feel. The apartment is clean, efficient, tastefully decorated, and extremely well appointed. It was also comfortable, in the sense that hanging in the living room watch the Olympics was very pleasant. The proximity to the road was not an issue, though pulling out of the parking spot required extra vigilance, at times. The location is ideal: so very close to Downtown Gloucester and Rockport, walking distance to Lanesville, and across the lovely bridge from Annisquam. Our son jumped from the bridge several times, and we chatted with locals on the public boat launch. The beach pass to Squam Rock was a bonus: I did not know this jewel of a beach before, and it is lovely! Would absolutely return should I vacation on Cape Ann in the future.

We spent 3 nights here. The apt is small but perfectly apportioned. The bed and bedding were so very comfortable (always a fear when renting). The location is so close to the water and the charming bridge & lobster cove. Shelley has thought of everything to make her guests comfortable. Extra blankets, seating on the patio, local information. It’s perfect and we hope to return.

The view was even better than I anticipated, We loved being able to see the boats come and go and to see the walking bridge across the river less than a minute from our door. and see the kids jumping off of it and enjoying themselves. The 2 bedroom place was great. Comfortable. Spacious. Shelly (our host) was wonderful. Overall a fabulous experience.

Amazing property and host! I have stayed at several VRBO properties and this was by far the best! Property owner answered all of my questions very promptly and made sure we had everything we needed! Beautiful views of water! Short pretty ride to Salem and Gloucester is a great spot to explore also! Rent this property, you won’t regret it! Thank you for having us!

First time in the North East and couldn't have loved it more.
We had a great location to all of Cape Ann, and not a long drive to Logan International Airport. The Lighthouse Beach although a long trek even driving part way was worth it. We went whale watching which was wonderful. We were here a week and in no way did everything we wanted to do, but it was a fantastic time. Thank you so much!

What a Charming Place!
What a charming place! We couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice! Loved the eclectic beach theme! The space made our stay in the Gloucester area even more memorable! The beds were super comfy and having coffee pods there for the morning was fantastic! The stools/table out on the deck overlooking the water was an added bonus! (I snapped a pic to duplicate on our deck at home!) After visiting the Crows Nest, a local told us about a hidden gem of a restaurant called the Causeway-OMG! The grilled octopus and crab sandwich is a MUST! And the Gloucester House had THE best fried clams we have ever tasted!! We are already making plans on returning! Thank you to the great hosts who have a beautiful house and for the wonderful memories we made in Gloucester! Looking forward to visiting again!!

lovely and comfortable
We enjoyed this property with its view of the river and the quiet of Annisquam. One morning we watched hundreds of cormorants and some egrets, leave Lobster Cove for the incoming tide with its silver fish. The owners were friendly and helpful.

Amazing water views, kayaking, great dining
This 2BR apartment with incredible water views is perfect for a summer get away. We brought our own kayak, and enjoyed kayaking to Wingaersheek Beach and along the Annisquam River. We tried four fantastic restaurants for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed walking on the Lobster Cove pedestrian bridge, swimming off the dock, walking to Lighthouse Beach, and enjoying the overall area. Shelley has set up the apartment beautifully - super comfortable, cute, and with great detail. It was extremely clean. We had mid 70's temperatures so it was perfect for fresh air from screened windows although there is AC provided (which we didn't need). I highly recommend this place and hope to return next year.

Roomy and Restful
We had a great stay in the apartment- we love the area and return every summer. This time it was quite rainy and cool, so we were glad we were so comfy and had ample space. The apartment is bigger than the pictures show, very well equipped and Lobster Cove is a very scenic and friendly area.

Nice view & Nice friendly area. Owner is caring & easy to work with. Best breakfast was at Mom's Kitchen. Willows Rest has good lunch items and prepared food that you can take and heat up. We had a great time at the Crows Nest - good conversation with the locals. We also tried Causeway Restaurant for dinner - excellent!

Simply Amazing!
I can’t begin to tell you how surprised I was when checking into Lobster Cove. It was way more spacious than I ever thought when booking. The pictures do not do it justice. The view is phenomenal! Everything was very updated and sparkly clean. We had a lovely breeze with the windows open but there is also air-conditioning units throughout . We enjoyed swimming in the cove, walking across the bridge to Annisquam and discovering the area all within walking distance. It is very private and beautiful. We were the only ones on the little beach at lighthouse point. Very serene and beautiful ! Shelly was a wonderful host, she was only a text away with any questions and input on things to do etc. My son and I enjoyed a sunset and lobster dinner just down the street on the water. There was a stocked kitchen and a nice big table for dinners with family. I also loved coming back to the little patio overlooking the cove and putting my feet up. The only thing I regret is not staying longer! Can’t wait to go back. Thank you Shelley for such a wonderful and peaceful vacation!

Bridge house view spectacular
Property was immaculate and exactly matched the photos and online presentation. We loved the Market restaurant which was walking distance to the restaurant. A few added touches might include tissue boxes & ground coffee for the guests so they can have a first cup of coffee before learning where to shop. It wouldn’t be awful to have some sort of dingy, or kayak to enjoy the waterway from the doorstep but that is a total wish list.
