About this house rental

This charming shingled house, built in 1917 and respectfully renovated in recent years, sits atop a rocky hill overlooking picturesque Diamond Cove, in Annisquam. The house has postcard seascape views of Ipswich Bay from both porches and from every room in the house. Guests enjoy beach privileges and swimming in Diamond Cove (short walk from the porch) and at nearby Squam Rock Beach, a 10 minute walk down quiet residential streets. Annisquam Village center is within walking and biking distance.

Please note: this house may not be appropriate for folks with mobility issues or difficulty with stairs, as a walk from the parking area up a gentle, rustic hill and porch stairs is required; both bathrooms and bedrooms are on the second floor. The breathtaking scenery makes it worthwhile.

Outdoor parking for 5 vehicles is provided.

What a beautiful setting for an enjoyable holiday with family. The house had everything and more than we ever needed for our stay. The views were breathtaking. The little private beach, only a 10-minute walk away was so enjoyable. I love Good Harbor, but why would I go there when this beach was so close and so private? We loved our stay!

A rustic and charming cottage, high on the rocks with beautiful views. Cottage was clean. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen totally adequate. Location was perfect! Walkable neighborhood for grandkids and dog. Hodgkin's Cove Beach/Davis Neck & Lighthouse Beach were enjoyed. Breakfast deck for the sunrise and Porch for the sunset were amazing! The walk up the hill to the cottage was exercise indeed, but so worth the view when you got there. Be ready for some wind off of the ocean! Communication with the hosts was delightful. Thank you to John, Cally & Family for opening up your Diamond by the Sea. We hope to return!

A comfortable, roomy house with a spectacular view of the bay! We are return renters and feel lucky to be in such a friendly, quiet community close to so many fine restaurants and such superb entertainment, like Rockport Music Shalin Liu Performance Center. This house is a true gem.

Five Diamond lived up to its billing. Great cottage on an incredible site. Will be back next year.

A wonderful, casual, sprawling "beachfront" house in Annisquam with extraordinary breezes and views. While the kitchen is sub-par and needs a through cleaning, the location and roominess more than compensate. We will return!

Great place in a quiet, scenic neighborhood. Loved the decks - very relaxing! Its an old house for sure, but with tons of character, and has all the amenities you would want. We loved how it was decorated. Definitely recommend.
