About this property

Wingaersheek, Private & Public Beach, Luxury Home, Ext'd Family Show Annisquam

This is the vacation house you have been looking for! Perfectly located only a few steps from the world famous Wingaersheek Beach, as well as, your own private access to Coffins beach. The younger crowd will love the excitement of the public part of Wingaersheek beach, while the private access to Coffins Beach is unexcelled for that quiet relaxing time. Why have to make a choice when you can have them both? All within a few minutes walk (300 yards) to the white sands of the public side of Wingaersheek beach or less than 2/10 of a mile to the private neighborhood section of the beach called Coffins beach. This immaculate and graciously appointed home is the perfect destination for discerning beach lovers who want only the best in accommodation, sea & surf!

Housing accommodations are a perfect set-up for the extended family or share with the best friends. This location contains 4000 sq/ft. of housing for your enjoyment. This is one of the biggest houses available in the area. Once you enter the driveway and proceed up to the house you will immediately feel like you are on vacation and ready to enjoy your stay. There are numerous outdoor custom built-in mahogany sitting benches and patios to enjoy the beautiful weather and enjoy the wonderful landscape from the deck swing. As you walk-in the first floor entrance into the spacious custom tiled foyer entrance, you will immediately feel the beach house charm! The rest of the first floor contains an expansive in-law/au-pair suite, which is on your left down a few steps into a very large queen bedroom with a sitting area with TV and cathedral ceilings. You will also find the separate laundry room off the entrance foyer. To your right you will find two more large bedrooms and two custom full-size bathrooms as well. Don’t forget the additional Wifi equipped office space which can be used as a bedroom if needed. The rest of the first floor living room contains a large TV, and a spacious and comfy living room set, and don’t forget you can always challenged each other at the 3-in-1 game table (your choice of pool, ping pong and air hockey) Once you climb the stairs to the second floor you will find the gourmet kitchen featuring a world-class WOLF commercial gas stove. The granite counters, custom cabinets, and oversized chef's gas stove (complete with pot-filling faucet), pantry and stainless appliances completes this home so that it is the perfect place to be the ultimate beach home away from home. Produce your family’s favorite recipes or try some of the great local dining options, its all up to you. Beyond the 8 chair kitchen, you can relax at the kitchen nook by the fireplace, or continue to the formal dining area. The open concept dining room with seating for up to 10 is surrounded on two sides by custom built-in shelving, this in turn leads into the gorgeous Living room where you can view the surroundings from the stunning Palladian windows, surrounding you on all sides. This area doubles as another gathering place to relax with a plush leather sitting area open to the kitchen making it a great space for entertaining as everyone can be together (but still out of the cooks way) in comfort! The king sized master bedroom with cathedral ceilings is located on this floor as well. It contains your own custom full-sized bathroom and another sofa set with a hidden TV, and of course your own large private mahogany deck. The King size bed actually looks small in this space! The house is air conditioned if you prefer, or you can enjoy the sea-breeze air and open the three sets of oversized Anderson sliders. (Five sets if you combine both floors!) Which open onto to the expansive upper mahogany decks, where you can relax on the outside deck furniture and sunbath privately instead of the beach if you prefer? The house has wifi, of course, but bring your cell phone as there is no landline at the house. Plenty of parking in the driveway and lovely landscaping outside! Additionally, Gloucester is becoming a more and more artwork-culturally known area; take a ride to the local artwork shops found around Rocky Neck. Find your next treasure to remind you of your stay. There is everything you would expect for a great ocean beach stay, located only 10-15 minutes drive to Gloucester harbor. Once you experience this vacation house and locale, you will want to return for years to come. Start a new tradition and make a reservation today!

50th birthday celebration
10 adults. 5 bedrooms/sleeps 12 tops. Arrival 1st day realizing we would have to pick up toilet paper and paper towels for our 4 night trip. All trash to go out end of trip which is fine...but we were to travel into town to go purchase our own bags to use to discard trash. All towels to be washed and dried and put away for 10 people before leaving with 4 laundry pods and a dryer with no heating element working properly. Who doesnt enjoy spending last evening doing laundry??? The house is dated and in need of grneral tlc. The layout of the house is hokey and not user friendly. Besides that, enjoy your stay.

Location was great, experience was not
Positives: * House was great, it was a wonderful size for our party, we had 3 families in total, 2 families with 2 kids, 1 family with 3. Plenty of room for them to explore and run around. Sleeping accommodations were good, was able to separated the older kids in their own room. * Location was very close to the beach, which provided good entertainment for the family. It was fairly easy to find as well using Google Maps. * Communication - This is going to be split. When we arrived, the owner was pretty responsive and answered our questions. Negatives: * Only initial toiletries provided. Had to go to target to buy our own. * Hot water is an issue if you have people trying to shower/bath during similar times. * Communications leading up to our travel was very lacking. We booked this about a year in advance and tried to reach the owner probably about 12 times, via the app, phone, and email and we received nothing. Even called VRBO to try to reach out and nothing happened. * The day of we were presented with a welcome message that also included additional fees if we didn't do something, one fee for not washing our used towels and folding them and putting back where we got them, and another for not using the proper garbage bags. These specific garbage bags were also not provided and we had to go to a store to buy them ourselves. My big concern with these surprise fees was that it wasn't part of the official booking, which could mean he could charge anything.

Stay without issues
Lovely home! Excellent place for family in town for a wedding; entertaining future in-laws and other out of town guests. Very spacious for bride and bridesmaids to get ready and have photos taken. Very well equipped. Has everything you need for infants (pack-n-play, booster seats, security gates, etc.). Beautiful beach nearby. Almost perfect, could use a fourth bathroom for first floor master bedroom.

Annual Family vacation
The house is very nice but not as stated in listing. There are only 5 bedrooms and so our vacation started out with being 1 bedroom short. Also, no hot tub. There is a jacuzzi bathtub but has a sign stating "do not use". That was one of many signs hung in the house that take away from the experience. There are many breakable items on shelves that have signs stating "personal". One plus is the kitchen is extremely well stocked. The stove is nice but again another sign stating "Do not put the burners on high". The worst was the hot water, or lack of hot water. In the morning the temperature at the boiler was 120 degrees, great. By dinner the temperature was down to 75 degrees. We took at lot of cold showers. I called the owner and he had us look at a couple things. All was as he stated it should be but still not hot water. The beach is very close and beautiful and there are a lot of beach chairs at the house to use. When we left the owner accused us of breaking things that we did not do. Pool sticks were broken when we got there and we took great care of the house and breakable items including obeying all the signs. The house has so much potential but there are too many negatives for me to recommend a stay.
