"Captain's Lookout" on Wonson Cove, Rocky Neck - Gloucester
Quick Note: We have a two night minimum stay Sunday through Thursday, and a five night minimum for any rentals that include Friday and or Saturday night.
This lovely, romantic townhouse sits near the water with fantastic views of Gloucester Harbor, especially from the middle and rooftop decks.
Located on a quiet side street in the seaside neighborhood of Rocky Neck, a peninsula that hangs out into Gloucester Harbor. The house is on a very private, and quiet street which ends at the water where there is a boat ramp (about 80 feet from the property). Here, you can launch your kayak, canoe, or paddle-board (nothing larger).
Rocky Neck is a fun, festive art colony with many active music-filled restaurants and art galleries. The Gloucester Stage Company is a 7 minute walk. There is a small beach around the corner for swimming, and Good Harbor Beach, one of the top beaches on the North Shore, is just 7 minutes away by car.
This townhouse is the front unit of a two-family house. I’ve been renting the rear townhouse for over 30 years. Visit https://www.vrbo.com/181237 to see the reviews (Ranked “Exceptional” with a rating of 9.8/10, and over 60 reviews).

General Info
• There are three choice locations to relax and eat outside at the Captain's Lookout: on the pretty sun deck off the kitchen/living room, at the middle deck off the bedroom, or on the roof deck where the views are fantastic!
• High quality linens for bed and bath.
• There are a few antique furnishings and/or artwork in the house, some collected by "the captain", in her worldwide travels! Most of the artwork in the downstairs is by Rocky Neck Artists!

Miscellaneous
• Easily sleeps two but can accommodate 3-4 (family or good friends), with full-size sleep sofa.
• The whole unit has central AC, plus there’s a ceiling fan in the bedroom. The sea breezes from 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!
• New Samsung Smart TV with multiple cable channels. Premium channels not included, but Netflix, Prime, etc. is easily accessed. Roku is available, please enquire.
• There is a two burner gas grill on the sun deck by the kitchen, and if you need something bigger, there is a four burner gas grill at the back of the building, Grilling tools are provided.
• There is a laundromat about a ½ mile away and cleaning supplies are provided in the townhouse, if needed.
• This is a safe and friendly area where people often don't even lock doors! But I prefer that you lock anyway. There is an outdoor key box.
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 a dance performance at Windhover in Rockport. There are plenty things to do on Cape Ann!
