We absolutely loved this property! All of the comforts of home and even some extra touches that made it even more special like binoculars for bird watching and some local beer. Beds were comfortable, plenty of blankets and a very cozy fireplace. I would not hesitate to stay again, stop scrolling if you’re looking to stay in the area!

Evensong house and our host, Katie, exceeded every one of our already high expectations. This beautiful home is just as pictured, and yet it still took our breath away the first time we walked in! It is clean and shining, spacious, serene, and beautifully decorated, with a well-stocked kitchen, seemingly new furniture and extremely comfortable beds and bed linens. The view is incomparable! From the downstairs walls of windows and the gorgeous upper-level deck, we enjoyed every sunrise and sunset, watched the tides rise and fall - revealing marshy islands and tidal pools - saw sailboats and other small boats, kayaks, and a huge variety of birds native to the New England coast. On our last night there we were treated to the full arc of a rainbow. Katie is a spectacular host and a lovely, kind person who instantly responds to questions and wants your time there to be perfect. We are already looking forward our next stay at Evensong!

Wonderful stay during Easter weekend , beautiful views along with some thoughtful items left in the refrigerator for us to enjoy when we arrived. The home was clean and welcoming with pretty much all you would need. The beds were very comfortable and had plenty of pillows and blankets. The bathrooms all had hand soap ,body soap and toilet paper. The kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of options to make espresso , coffee and tea. The fireplace gave off nice heat on the cooler nights. The home is on a dead end street. Parking was little tricky but we managed. This is a wonderful home and location.

FABULOUS location to relax. I could have spent the entire time on the upstairs deck watching the tide come in and out. None of us wanted to leave!Owner very responsive with questions and suggestions for things to do/see and places to eat. While there we explored Cape Ann easily, traveled to Beverly, Salem, and Ipswich to explore. Locating the house using Google Maps is confusing because it sits behind another house. Google gets it right, but it looks like your driving into driveway to another house.

The property was better than the pictures online! Booked our stay after we attended a family wedding in the Beverly, MA location. Katie (the host) communicated with us and the check in / check out process was smooth. The views from this property are breathtaking. The house is absolutely gorgeous and it had basically anything you would need for the stay (kitchenware to cook, coffee, codes for entertainment on the fire TV). The location couldn’t have been better either as I planned to take my family to some local farms and Salem for the day. The Hammond Castle Museum is also a short drive away. I wish I could upload pictures from the views from the property but I don’t think pictures would do it justice. It was a relaxing, quintessential New England stay and I would recommend this property to anyone! Katie was great!

Our family of 8 ages 16 - 78 really enjoyed this house. The area around it has many interesting places to explore. We went to half moon beach and the park. We shopped in nearby Rockport. Our host Katie let us borrow her paddle boards and the kids (young and old) had so much fun! Took scenic rides and watched sunsets over the bay on the upstairs deck. Home is well stocked and Katie is a wonderful host. Extremely responsive.

The property is absolutely stunning and Katie is a phenomenal host. The accommodations are absolutely fantastic. The bedrooms are very large and comfortable. The kitchen was a dream to cook in, with all of the critical cookware and more. Katie even stocks the fridge with a few essentials and some local beer. She is very welcoming and helpful. But best of all is the view and the sunsets from the fantastic living room and the top deck. Everything was absolutely perfect 10/10!

Four of us stayed, we all took part in a 3-day Zoom conference happening on the West coast. First, and importantly, there were no issues with WiFi or connectivity, which was great. The home itself was spotless and modern, with a beautiful view of the water. It’s a small neighborhood, and the houses are close together, but we never felt as if we had no privacy. The kitchen had everything we could dream of needing/using. A comfortable living room with lots of room to hang out, great gas fireplace that took the chill out of the cool mornings, the beds are very comfortable, and the bathrooms (3) had everything we needed. I was in touch with the host a couple of times over the weekend and she always responded immediately. Highly recommend this home.

Property was exactly what we expected due to the great pictures posted! Great location, amazing view and would definitely stay again! There were 6 of us, 2 couples and my 2 adult daughters. We each had our own bathrooms, the kitchen was stocked with all the tools and equipment needed to cook but mostly we ate out. We had a blast!

We had a wonderful time staying in Katie and Jamie's lovely home in the Annsiquam area of Gloucester. Katie could not have been more helpful or responsive to my email queries before we arrived. The home is extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and everything seems brand new and functioned perfectly. There are thoughtful touches everywhere. Before arriving I thought the views could not possibly be as nice as the photos, but seeing the views in person out the living room windows or from the upper floor deck is mesmerizing. We watched birds, watercraft, and kayakers at all hours. We spent alot of time looking, taking photos, and walking down below during low tide. Whether sunny, cloudy, high tide, low tide, sunrise, or sunset, the view is just amazing and unreal looking. I hope we can someday return to this charming home! A+++++++++

It was a relaxing, quintessential New England stay and I would recommend this property to anyone! Katie was great!

Our family of 8 ages 16 - 78 really enjoyed this house. The area around it has many interesting places to explore. We went to half moon beach and the park. We shopped in nearby Rockport. Our host Katie let us borrow her paddle boards and the kids (young and old) had so much fun! Took scenic rides and watched sunsets over the bay on the upstairs deck. Home is well stocked and Katie is a wonderful host. Extremely responsive.

The property is absolutely stunning and Katie is a phenomenal host. The accommodations are absolutely fantastic. The bedrooms are very large and comfortable. The kitchen was a dream to cook in, with all of the critical cookware and more. Katie even stocks the fridge with a few essentials and some local beer. She is very welcoming and helpful. But best of all is the view and the sunsets from the fantastic living room and the top deck. Everything was absolutely perfect 10/10!

Four of us stayed, we all took part in a 3-day Zoom conference happening on the West coast. First, and importantly, there were no issues with WiFi or connectivity, which was great. The home itself was spotless and modern, with a beautiful view of the water. It’s a small neighborhood, and the houses are close together, but we never felt as if we had no privacy. The kitchen had everything we could dream of needing/using. A comfortable living room with lots of room to hang out, great gas fireplace that took the chill out of the cool mornings, the beds are very comfortable, and the bathrooms (3) had everything we needed. I was in touch with the host a couple of times over the weekend and she always responded immediately. Highly recommend this home.

We had a fantastic four over nights. Everything we needed was there. The view was spectacular. It was a great location for visiting Boston. Salem and Newburyport. Katie is a wonderful hostess, from the time I booked until we left she would get right back to me with my many questions.

We just spent two glorious months at Evensong and don’t know where to begin with our accolades. We LOVE it here and can’t wait to return!!!! The location is convenient to everything, the views are spectacular and the house has every amenity you could desire. Katie is the most responsive landlord EVER and is such a gracious host. From pizza recommendations to quick fixes at the house, she is on top of all of it. We love it here in the winter and hope to experience the magic in summer, too!

Wonderful stay during Easter weekend , beautiful views along with some thoughtful items left in the refrigerator for us to enjoy when we arrived. The home was clean and welcoming with pretty much all you would need. The beds were very comfortable and had plenty of pillows and blankets. The bathrooms all had hand soap ,body soap and toilet paper. The kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of options to make espresso , coffee and tea. The fireplace gave off nice heat on the cooler nights. The home is on a dead end street. Parking was little tricky but we managed. This is a wonderful home and location.

FABULOUS location to relax. I could have spent the entire time on the upstairs deck watching the tide come in and out. None of us wanted to leave!Owner very responsive with questions and suggestions for things to do/see and places to eat. While there we explored Cape Ann easily, traveled to Beverly, Salem, and Ipswich to explore. Locating the house using Google Maps is confusing because it sits behind another house. Google gets it right, but it looks like your driving into driveway to another house.

The property was better than the pictures online! Booked our stay after we attended a family wedding in the Beverly, MA location. Katie (the host) communicated with us and the check in / check out process was smooth. The views from this property are breathtaking. The house is absolutely gorgeous and it had basically anything you would need for the stay (kitchenware to cook, coffee, codes for entertainment on the fire TV). The location couldn’t have been better either as I planned to take my family to some local farms and Salem for the day. The Hammond Castle Museum is also a short drive away. I wish I could upload pictures from the views from the property but I don’t think pictures would do it justice.

We had a wonderful time staying in Katie and Jamie's lovely home in the Annsiquam area of Gloucester. Katie could not have been more helpful or responsive to my email queries before we arrived. The home is extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and everything seems brand new and functioned perfectly. There are thoughtful touches everywhere. Before arriving I thought the views could not possibly be as nice as the photos, but seeing the views in person out the living room windows or from the upper floor deck is mesmerizing. We watched birds, watercraft, and kayakers at all hours. We spent alot of time looking, taking photos, and walking down below during low tide. Whether sunny, cloudy, high tide, low tide, sunrise, or sunset, the view is just amazing and unreal looking. I hope we can someday return to this charming home! A+++++++++

This is a lovely property where our extended family shared a wonderful Father’s Day Weekend celebration. The home itself is comfortable, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully appointed. The location is ideal for exploring Gloucester and Rockport, within 10-15 minutes of all the major attractions in each. Most of all, the views from the home onto the water outside are truly majestic!! Truly extraordinary. Katie is an incredibly responsive and helpful host. I most highly recommend this property for your next visit to the North Shore!

Everything was perfect! The view was overwhelmingly beautiful, and sunsets were a highlight. The kitchen was fully stocked and easy to navigate. The bedrooms were so cozy and comfy. The bathrooms were beautiful, especially the double shower head one upstairs. Modern and traditional all at once. If I come back to Massachusetts, this is where I'll be staying again.

We had a wonderful stay over the holidays with my family of five. Katie was very welcoming and communicative from the start. The house was fully stocked with dishes, linens, coffee, spices and all the basics for cooking. She even left eggs and half and half so that we would have something for our first morning. The views were breathtaking, the fire was cozy on the many cold evenings, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were well designed with excellent water pressure. Katie communicated quickly throughout our stay. I highly recommend this spot!
