About this property

Ships Bell: Water views and amazing sunsets on a quiet street in Lanesville.

Picture yourself on the huge wraparound deck of Ships Bell House, enjoying the setting of the sun over breathtaking water views. That's the moment you'll never forget when you stay in this charming vacation rental home in Gloucester's Lanesville neighborhood.

Ships Bell House is located on a quiet neighborhood lane, its manicured gardens and a spacious lawn adding to the tranquility. Relax in air conditioned comfort inside the bright, open-plan space that is decorated in a cheerful beach-centric style with local flair. There are two bedrooms and a full bath on the main floor, as well as a Queen suite with a full bath on the lower level.

When you want to explore, head to nearby Plum Cove Beach, downtown Gloucester or nearby Rockport. The amazing Halibut State Park is a short drive away and Boston and Salem are less than an hour by train or car.

Family trip
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very clean with great views. Loved the outside spaces. It’s a bit far from restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores but it was quiet and relaxing. I would encourage the rental mgmt to ask the linen company to use fabric softener on the sheets and not starch. It was like sleeping in tissue paper all week. It would also be helpful to have a vent in the basement bathroom as it got very humid and foggy in there after a quick shower. The owners were super nice. I would defn stay again.

Seasonal Rental
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I sold our home and needed a winter rental until our summer home in Maine was renovated. We contacted AVH on a referral from a friend who had used them previously. They were responsive to our needs and found us the perfect rental in a fantastic location. It made our move so much easier knowing that we had a rental in place. We never expected our stay to be so wonderful and would not hesitate to use AVH Realty in the future. Their knowledge of the area and their business practices are top notch. Great people to work with!
