Overview:

Built in 1880's, my Victorian-era home, is located at the end of a peninsula on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Massachusetts Bay at the beginning of Hull Village, the historic section of town. The house has stunning views from every window of water filled with sailboats, lobster boats, and kayaks as well as Spinnaker Island, Hull's very own 'Mont-Saint-Michel'. Sunrises are spectacular. By night, the light from Boston Light, built in 1783, the second oldest working lighthouse in the US, and the only lighthouse to still be actively staffed by the US Coast Guard, shines through the windows.

The Space:

Recently refurbished, the Master Bedroom Suite of rooms contains one large bedroom with a king size bed, a separate master bathroom with a twin size day bed and a full trundle bed, desk area, jacuzzi, shower and separate toilet room. There are magnificent water views from every window. The Master Bedroom Suite also is equipped with a coffee maker, hot water heater for making tea, cups, spoons, forks, knifes, napkins, coffee, tea, milk and sugar, wine glasses and a bottle opener, a toaster, a mini-refrigerator, a hairdryer, free wi-fi, bedding, and towels. A continental breakfast is available on request. Other items that may be needed also can be provided on request. The Suite is a great place for a romantic getaway place for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids). Come for a night, a weekend, a week or a month!

Guests have full use of the Master Bedroom Suite. Guests also can enjoy a variety of outdoor seating areas located on the wrap around porches overlooking the water on all sides or a private patio area surrounded by a beautiful garden. Access to the Master Bedroom Suite is through the patio doors located at the back of the house or through the home's front door, then passing through the living room area and up large wide staircase to the second floor. A key to the house is available on request.

A variety of clubs and restaurants offer great live entertainment daily all year long. Kayaks also are available for rent in order to explore Massachusetts Bay and Boston Harbor as well as the Weir River Sanctuary.

Getting Around

The house is one mile from ferry service to Boston and the Boston Harbor Islands National Park. The ferry ride is approximately 20 to 25 minutes to the Boston waterfront. Bus service is available from Hingham to the end of Hull's Peninsula and goes right by my home. Commuter rail service is located about 6 miles from the house. A car is very useful for easy access to all local sights and Boston.
