Memorial Day Visit

The pictures do not do it justice. The place is large and has everything one needs for a pleasant stay. The owner was local, easy to reach and delivered extra firewood for our stay.

Perfect spot for a stay at the beach

We had a good weekend staying at Bob Anna's Lisa place. The location is perfect.! The kitchen is fully equipped with every pot, pan, utensil, and serving dish you can imagine. There is even an abundance of towels! The beds are comfortable, and there is way more space than we anticipated from the website description. We only wish we could have been there in the summer and enjoyed all the beach toys and activities. We cannot recommend this house more highly!We highly recommend Bob and Lisa's house.

Wonderful family reunion

This was a wonderful place to stay for a family reunion. There was plenty of room, the location was spectacular, the house well equipped, especially the “beach toy” garage. The hosts were attentive and helpful. I highly recommend this awesome rental.

Fall getaway

Walking into the house upon our arrival was absolutely breathtaking. We walked onto the porch to a perfect sea view and the wind blowing through the opened windows, it was picturesque. Bob, the owner, was great with communicating with us during our trip for any needs that arised. The house was fully stocked with linens, towels, paper towels, toilet paper, and all of the other necessities needed for a long weekend fall getaway to the beach. We are already planning our return trip!

Peaceful Getaway

It was a perfect spot for 2 pre-teens to explore and be active on the beach while I could sit back and relax in the back yard without getting sandy and still have a visiual of the kids the entire time.

Heaven on the Bay

We had booked daily activities on our Sisters Trip, but ended up hardly leaving our beautiful beach house. Instead we walked the beach and soaked in the relaxing time of just hanging out together.

Terrific location!

This Beach House is directly on the water in Magnolia. My family swam, snorkeled and kayaked all day and it was calm enough to have a campfire at night. The house has a nice open floor plan, so activities easily flowed from porch to living room to kitchen area.

Idyllic stay

My family of 10 first came for the weekend & after they left 7 girlfriends came for 3 nights in perfect weather. Aside from the hurricane that was supposed to arrive the second day we were there, Mother Nature was kind to us. Our host was so accommodating & the location on this wonderfully quiet little beach, was perfect. All who came, want to come back!

Amazing stay!

Could not beat this location- we hated to leave! We loved our stay so much that we ended up extending our trip. All the comforts of home you need, and all the luxuries to make a great beach vacation, including a fire pit ON the beach! We brought our baby Golden retriever who loved romping in the sand for our morning and evening walks. We will definitely be returning! Bob was super responsive and a true pleasure to work with!

Great location right on the beach

Location, location, location. Right on the beach in beautiful Magnolia. Family loved being able to wake up to the awesome view and coffee and breakfast in the enclosed porch overlooking the water. It was easy for young children to play in the gorgeous grassy yard and on the sand. We all loved going for long beach walks and fishing off the new pier. Great restaurants nearby and easy to get to a grocery store and Gloucester center. The house is a basic beach house and the bathrooms are dated and could use some comfortable renovations. We enjoyed our week together at this house and Bob, the owner, is very accommodating, helpful and friendly. A good place to be on the beach.

Magnolia Beach

Wonderful family house on the beach, we wanted a property in the same area as some family friends - we know the area well and Magnolia Beach was a perfect fit. The house had everything we needed with the big bonus of being able to bring our dog, plus the garage was full of beach toys and games. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bedrooms and reception rooms were comfortable and suited our needs. We were so thrilled with the garden, beach and house that we didn't venture very far. It is a gem of a property & Bob was a great host.

R&R

Manchester-by-the-Sea is a hidden gem! I can still hear the waves on the beach as we searched for sea glass. We had family and friends visiting and everyone just loved the location, the view and the house. The bathrooms were a bit dated but certainly worked well. There are 5+ bedrooms with very comfortable beds and plenty of room for everyone. The lower level was perfect for the younger crowd with a large TV, sitting area and game table. The living area on the main floor is very comfortable and well appointed, however we spent all of our time on the beach, on the patio and on the porch. This was a truly relaxing vacation and we all had a wonderful time.
