In the Annisquam area of Gloucester, Massachusetts, our family’s 55-acre nineteenth-century estate on Ipswich Bay is one of the most beautiful hidden gems of the New England coast. With two beaches, a granite swimming pier, tennis courts, a lily pond, a wild peninsula, and ample land to roam, it’s truly a magical place.

We are offering four houses for rent: an airy, modern house that overlooks the bay (4 bedrooms, sleeps 8); a small cottage that also offers a lovely view of the meadow and sea (perfect for 1 or 2 people, but sleeps up to 4); a book-lined guest house (perfect for 1-2, but sleeps up to 3); and a historic stone cottage at the high-tide mark (3 bedrooms, sleeps 5).
