Cottage was clean. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen totally adequate. Location was perfect! Walkable neighborhood for grandkids and dog. Hodgkin's Cove Beach/Davis Neck & Lighthouse Beach were enjoyed. Breakfast deck for the sunrise and Porch for the sunset were amazing! The walk up the hill to the cottage was exercise indeed, but so worth the view when you got there. Be ready for some wind off of the ocean! Communication with the hosts was delightful. Thank you to John, Cally & Family for opening up your Diamond by the Sea. We hope to return! ##### Polly C.

Two full baths with showers meant no waiting. Laundry facilities very handy for large group. All bedrooms on the 2nd fl made it easy to keep noise down for those going to bed early. Small rocky beach right in front is perfect at low tide, but cramped at high tide. Sandy beach visible in photos was not accessible to us, according to neighbor. Cottage owner had great info packet, but I was unable to locate anything re: sandy beach access. That said, there are more fabulous sandy beaches within a short drive than one could visit in a week. Also recommend Family Night at Annisquam Yacht Club for anyone with guest privileges. ##### Anthony Simon M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter L.

About a 12 minute walk to a Sandy beach, but an easy drive to Plum Cove, where you can drop off at a Town Beach. We had to adjust to not having a first floor bathroom, and stairs to the house are steep for the very young. We stayed the week prior to Labor Day, and never turned on the AC. The Kitchen is spacious and well stocked. ##### Donald B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra A. Jul 11, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful post COVID family reunion. I booked this special house during the trauma of COVID with the hopeful expectation that everyone would be vaccinated. And they were! When I was searching for a place large enough for 11 people, the house in Anisquam appeared and had one week available. The 4th of July was part of it. That night was magical - we had an expansive view of fireworks all along the coastline from 9pm until midnight. The house was a joy to be in from start to finish even though we arrived in the pouring rain. Each day proved different, a roller coaster ride of clouds one day, bright sun and a heat wave another day, and a hurricane on our last full day. We used the gas fireplace a few times and the AC at other times. The best was when we could just open all the windows and sit on the great porch and look at the sea and sky. For those who like to swim, Squam Rock Beach is a sandy expanse of clear water, perfect for families with children. The fun challenge is finding it. My greatest pleasure was being surrounded by all my family and to witness their pleasure with the house and the area. They loved the experience as did I. PS. There is enough space in the house and on the grounds to get away from everyone if you need some moments alone. ##### Sandra A.

It is located in a charming, quiet and walkable neighborhood and has water access via a small pebbly beach surrounded by the granite boulders Cape Ann is famous for, perfect for a swim or launching a kayak. It is a marvelous covered front porch and open back deck so you can be outside all day. The views are just amazing and it is high enough up that there are few bugs. It is a short drive from Rockport and Gloucester and their shops, restaurants and harbors, where everyone inside and outside was wearing a mask for Covid safety.

The character of the house gave you such a comfortable feeling, the front porch provided a very relaxing setting as did the back porch. The neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors (long time residents) were very welcoming. Definitely need to be mindful of how easily noise travels as this house sit up higher than all of others.

John and Sarah were helpful and welcoming, from inquiry and booking to arrival. And while the photos are accurate, they cannot possibly convey the knockout views from every room in the home, much less the beautiful millwork and lovely little details throughout. I can't imagine a more ideal location and we so enjoyed the two-cove option for swimming. The house is well supplied with bed/bath/beach linens, a fully stocked kitchen, ample parking, and perhaps most importantly, a comfy hammock in just the right spot of the best room in the house.

There truly are views of the water from every window. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, the bath/bed amenities were impressive, and other than my own home, I have not slept on such a comfortable mattress. The owners were easily reachable for a few questions and the only thing we would have enjoyed having was some history about the house. It is such a fascinating location and layout, we kept wishing for the details. The ages of our family group ranged from 6 to 71, and there were things to do and sights to see for everyone, including a fantastic day whale watching out of Gloucester. The Squam Rock beach was beautiful and just perfect for the kids. Thank you so much for opening your beautiful home to us - we will all have the best memories of this vacation for years to come! ##### Melissa M.

The house was clean, well equipped and satisfied all our basic needs. The only questionable items, from a safety issue, were the stairs up to the deck and the deck itself needed some boards replaced. Additionally, the kitchen oven door needed some adjustment. ##### Sandy p.
