In the later part of the 19th century, the property was part of the grand Masconomo Hotel, site of the first outdoor performance of Shakespeare under electric lights. What's more, the movie "State and Main" was filmed in this very house and more recently, the Academy Award-winning movie "Manchester by the Sea" was filmed in spots you'll recognize all around the area. The current incarnation of this historic home is divided into two separate dwellings, in a duplex fashion. One of the units, a remnant of the hotel, is the residence of the owner, and the other, the original Booth summer home, is all for you! Its many spacious rooms have high ceilings and oversized windows that capture the summer breezes. For a closer look at the sea, walk down the private mowed path to beautiful Singing Beach, named for the sounds that emanate from walking on the sand. A short walk in the other direction leads to the village center and the commuter train that can take you south to Salem and Boston or north to Gloucester and Rockport. Dogs allowed on a case-by-case basis. No Smoking. GROUND FLOOR Living Room: Large windows capture summer sea breezes and the ocean view. The stately great room, with its working fireplace, is a wonderful gathering space for family and friends. Kitchen: Fully applianced kitchen with an offset sitting and TV room, and a formal dining area. Bathroom 1: Half bathroom. SECOND FLOOR Bedroom 1: Primary bedroom with King Bed, walk-in closets and a large upper deck. Bathroom 2: En-suite bathroom to primary bedroom. Bedroom 2: Twin bedroom. Bedroom 3: Twin bedroom. Bathroom 3: En-suite bathroom to bedroom 3. Bedroom 4: Twin bedroom Bathroom 4: Full bathroom in hallway. EXTERIOR You'll enjoy the views from the large, wicker-furnished porch that overlooks the Atlantic and from the upper deck off the upstairs master bedroom. The large, stately lawn is perfect for recreation and relaxing. A new (2020) outdoor hot water shower makes it easy to rinse off after the beach.

Jul 19, 2021 #### Booth Cottage Disappointment Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wish we could give a good review for our stay here. The location is great, but, sadly, the house has been very neglected and shouldn’t be a short-term rental. The kitchen is very poorly equipped. Cooking was nearly impossible. And during our stay, we had no hot water on our first night (owner forgot to turn it on), a coffee pot that died on our second day, a fridge that sounded like a jet plane that finally got replaced, an electric outlet that died, etc. The house is full of history and could be a real gem. But its shabby, neglected condition means we wouldn’t stay again or recommend it, nor will we ever rent with AVH again. ##### Gayle S. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Boston / Fitchburg, MA](https://www.expedia.ca/Leominster-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Boston-Fitchburg.h8458771.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Cod Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Cape-Cod-Hotel.h28183.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn By Marriott Boston Andover](https://www.expedia.ca/Andover-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Boston-Andover.h795379.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbor Hotel Provincetown](https://www.expedia.ca/Provincetown-Hotels-Harbor-Hotel-Provincetown.h421590.Hotel-Information) > > [Freebird Motor Lodge by Reverie Boutique Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Hunters-Green-Cape-Cod.h6589307.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Boston-Andover](https://www.expedia.ca/Andover-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Boston-Andover.h25755.Hotel-Information) > > [Chatham Bars Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chatham-Hotels-Chatham-Bars-Inn.h19139.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations Oak n’ Spruce Resort in the Berkshires by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Lee-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-Oak-N-Spruce-Resort.h20875006.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyannis Travel Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Hyannis-Travel-Inn.h1379109.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Hyannis - Cape Cod](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Comfort-Inn.h1240460.Hotel-Information) > > [The Corsair & Cross Rip Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dennis-Port-Hotels-The-Corsair-Cross-Rip-Oceanfront-Resort.h894158.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Best-Western-Royal-Plaza-Hotel-Trade-Center.h14628.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Cod Family Resort and Parks](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Cape-Cod-Family-Resort-And-Inflatable-Park.h5306790.Hotel-Information) > > [Brass Key Guesthouse - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Provincetown-Hotels-Brass-Key-Guesthouse-Adults-Only.h18632862.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Bentley Brook](https://www.expedia.ca/Hancock-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Bentley-Brook.h973618.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Marlborough/Apex Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-MarlboroughApex-Center.h20178059.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake ](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Boston - Milford by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Milford-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Boston-Milford.h555108.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayside Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Bayside-Resort-Hotel.h896697.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Northside Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Williamstown-Hotels-Northside-Motel.h1581984.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Boston Marlborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Boston-Marlborough.h22959.Hotel-Information) > > [SpringHill Suites by Marriott Wrentham Plainville](https://www.expedia.ca/Wrentham-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Wrentham-Plainville.h57749189.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information)
