Gloucester, MA, United States
This charming, romantic one bedroom townhouse is located in a quiet, seaside neighborhood on the desirable Rocky Neck in Gloucester Harbor. It has water views and boating access and is just steps away from the water. Water access just 80 feet or so away (for launching a small boat such as a kayak or paddle-board) and around the corner, small beach for swimming. Rocky Neck is a fun, festive art colony with many active music-filled restaurants and art galleries. There is a nearby theater company. This house is on a very private street which ends at the water and so has no thru traffic. The sun deck, living room and bedroom all have a water view. You can relax and eat outside on the pretty sun deck off the living room, or gravel terrace below, with patio furniture and flower boxes, and landscaping. There is a Gas Grill. There is a tv and availability of roku and multiple cable channels (not Showtime, etc). King sized bed upstairs. Bathroom is upstairs, with stand up shower and small tub. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE STAIRWAY IS NOT FOR YOU IF YOU ARE UNFIT OR SIGNIFICANTLY OBESE (CHECK PICTURE)- IT IS ABOUT 2.5 FEET WIDE. Easily sleeps two, but can accommodate 3-4 with full-size sleep sofa. High quality linens for bed and bath. There are a few antique furnishings in the bedroom and living room. There is a bedroom ceiling fan and now an energy efficient heat pump which also provides central AC (often not needed). Sea breezes right off Gloucester Harbor often create a lovely freshness to the place, so you can turn off the AC and open the windows to let in the breeze! There is enough storage space in bedroom and bathroom closets. The kitchen is amply-sized and has all the modern conveniences, including a Keurig and also large appliances which are new within the last 5-6 years. It also has been updated with lovely, new white quartz and maple counters, as well as granite sink. There is a nearby laundromat (about 3 minute drive, 1/2 mile away and cleaning supplies are provided in the townhouse. There is private parking for your car. This is a safe and friendly area where people often don't even lock doors! But I prefer that you lock anyway. We are planning to have an outdoor keybox as well, by this summer of 2024. If you don't bring your car, you can get around by cab, possibly Uber, bus, water taxi or bikes (but beware of local drivers!). I do recommend a car to take full and easy advantage of the area and region, however. It is a great getaway for a couple or single person to enjoy the summer in this lovely area. Gloucester and Cape Ann abound with many cultural and recreational activities. In Gloucester, enjoy whale watching, large sailboat cruises and many cultural activities and events from Saint Peter's Fiesta in late June to the Tall Ships Parade and Mayor's Cup Race over Labor Day. Nearby in Rockport you can browse around Bear Skin Neck, view incredible scenery including "Motif #1", explore Halibut Point State Park, attend a concert at the Rockport Music-Shalin Liu Performance Center or outdoors, in multiple venues. And as always, the beauty of nature and all it's opportunities for exercise and recreation, still abound. This is available for: June through October with reduced rates for stays of over 7 days. Also available as a winter rental (see Craig's list). Keywords: Townhouse
