Afternoon Delight: Toast the beauty of the river from the waterfront deck

Nestled in a cul de sac and fronting on the Crane River, Afternoon Delight in historic Beverly is the perfect place to watch the river currents glide by. The riverfront wraparound deck offers a blissful place to sit or dine in either sun or shade, thanks to an exterior awning. In the garden, the lower terrace is fully fenced in and has a grape arbor for relaxation in the pleasant shade.

Inside, the carpeted living room has windows on 3 sides, providing an amazing view of the changing river scene. The kitchen is updated and fully equipped, and there are three bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor and has an adjacent bath with a shower that has grab bars. Guests with mobility issues will also appreciate that the front door is flanked by a handle for grasping (if stability is needed) and there is just one small step to get in to the house from the driveway. Central air keeps the house temperate throughout.

This waterfront vacation rental home provides easy access to Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester by the Sea, Ipswich, Newburyport, Salem, Marblehead and Boston. The house is also conveniently located near Salem State University, Landmark School, Bishop Fenwick High School, Gordon College, and Endicott College, offering students, their families, or anyone at all a comfortable and lovely home base convenient to endless local delights.

Just perfect
We had the best weather during our stay and the deck was the best part. The neighborhood was quiet and the house is situated with amazing views of the Crane River. We saw egrets, ducks, and hawks. The house was spotless when we arrived and all cabinets/drawers were labeled. The house is close to restaurants and grocery stores. We would stay here again for sure.

Cozy Home in Beautiful Setting
We have stayed in several VRBO properties and this is home was among one of the cleanest. There is definite pride of ownership! The location was perfect for us and the deck overlooking the water was an added bonus. Communications were excellent and immediate with rental agency. The only downside was the pillows - a bit flat for all of us, but that is a preference, perhaps. Will stay here again, most definitely! Thank you:)

The Best House We Have Ever Rented
Quick responses from the owner. The house was well kept. It has been the best rental we have ever had. We loved the location right on the water and our morning visits by the local water fowl.

One of the nicest places we have stayed.
We went to Salem and the area for a week. This house is beautiful, clean, and right on the water. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck at night and we were a few minutes from every location. I highly recommend this house.
