About this house rental

Granite Pier, with its unparalleled ocean views, is a traditional Cape Ann home with an unusual history. Built in the mid to late 1800’s, it was part of the Rockport Granite Company housing workmen who mined the nearby quarries. Blending traditional craftsmanship with modern amenities, this home is quintessential New England with ocean views from its multiple decks, from the master bedroom and from the sun room. Multiple skylights and large windows let natural light flood in. Granite Pier can be rented in conjunction with sister cottage Granite Cottage (next door) for larger groups.

Explore nearby Gull Cove, which is less than a five-minute walk from the home or travel to the end of the actual Granite Pier (for which the house is named), which affords 270-degree views of the great Atlantic and the Rockport coastline. Go there early in the morning to experience the sunrise over the water. There is a boat launch at the pier just 120 yards from the house, where you can bring your kayaks or stand up paddle boards and explore the area by water. (Kayaks and SUPs can be rented through Atlantic Vacation Homes).

Experience swimming in a fresh water quarry known as Little Parker Pit just up the road a piece (400 yards) and see how refreshing a dip in the quarry is on a hot summer day. Like hikes or running in the woods, then leave the house, walk under the Keystone Bridge made from Rockport granite and enter into the beautiful Dogtown wilderness. Have a boat? You'll find it easy to manage a trailer. Front Beach and Back Beach are also close by.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First time to the area. The house is well located. Not in the center of town but only a 15-20 minute walk to the small beaches in town along with all the shops, galleries and restaurants. Great view of the water. The house is as described and very nice. We had a couple of minor issues and the management company was very responsive. Overall, we recommend visiting the area and staying at Granite Pier.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second two week vacation at Granite Pier. We love the location and the home is lovely with enough room to share with several friends and family. Everything was clean and the staff was responsive. Our coffee maker was replaced quickly once we reported a problem with it, and an effort was made to resolve the wi-fi problem. There were several maintenance issues which detracted from our full enjoyment of the vacation.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We decided on a last minute quick trip with our children. Due to COVID the check in is at 4:00 and check out a 9:00. Unfortunately at 4:00, our house was still not ready. Once we were allowed to enter, the home was very clean. The home and views are amazing. I recommend some new window units and additional ones downstairs. The furniture smelled moldy, but after the air started circulating it was better. For a last minute rental, it was very enjoyable.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were a family of six adults and had an outstanding time at Granite Pier. Description is spot on. COVID added unique challenges and AVH could not have been more flexible or responsive. This property is ideally situated with a water view, excellent kitchen, great multi-level layout, and walking distance to town and quarries. Shout out to Jonathan for his work with us. Highly recommend the property and AVH.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked this rental before we knew we would face restrictions because of COVID-19. We were so glad we did! Getting away to the coast without having to leave the Commonwealth was just what we needed. Everything was very comfortable. Especially loved being able to eat on the shaded outdoor deck/patio.
