PICTURESQUE LOCATION

WOW, this apartment had the best view. We even saw the northern lights and a shooting star and got amazing pictures. Short ride to the train station that took you to Salem. We enjoyed our 4 nights here at Sleepy Hollow. The apartment was super clean and we would love to go back. We were nervous about talking loud/ walking around after 9pm to not wake the owners as this apartmemt is above them. They were super helpful with restaurant reccomdations and any questions we had. If you are on the fence, book it, the view alone is worth it!!!

A Peaceful Getaway

We didn't know what to expect with having the hosts on the property, but Deb and Paula were awesome! They were informative, gave us privacy, and let us know they were there if we needed them. The accommodations were very clean and had everything we needed (TP, paper towel, kleenex, dish soap and sponge, hand soap, hair dryer, napkins, etc.). The bed is comfortable (I slept like a rock). The TV has Netflix, which was an unexpected perk. The private deck is a perfect place to sit with a drink and watch the boats go by. Overall, we highly recommend this rental. It was an absolutely wonderful place to stay!

Cozy with a great view!

We went for our 25th anniversary and wanted somewhere with close access to things to do. Salem at Halloween time-highly recommend. We got in from the airport late evening, but Paula still took the time to show us the property and welcome us. The apartment is very cozy, super clean, and has a huge window overlooking the water. Our hosts were great about giving us suggestions and directions. We would definitely stay there again!

Relaxing stay

Wow! What a beautiful place this apartment on the Annisquam was to spend a relaxing New England vacation! We enjoyed waking up every morning to the peaceful reflections of the scenery on the river from every window of the accommodations. We had everything that we needed, and it was easy to get to anywhere we chose to visit We loved the evening sunsets when we arrived there before dark. We would enjoy coming back for a longer stay than five days. The hosts were helpful and gave us great recommendations for restaurants and anything we asked of them. It was a peaceful, beautiful respite from our normal daily life in Colorado.

Wonderful hosts, Beautiful view, perfect apartment, great location

Deb and Paula were informative about the area and made sure we had everything we needed. The apartment was perfect size, had a great private deck with chairs and table. We spent many hours sitting on the deck looking at the water, boats , and wildlife. It was very quiet and peaceful. The location was perfect as it is close to Gloucester , Rockport, and Essex. We were very happy with everything.

Gorgeous property!

Sleepy Hollow exceeded all our expectations. The view is beautiful, and we enjoyed having cocktails on the spacious deck overlooking the Annisquam River. Sail boats, lobster boats, kayaks, pontoon boats and more made watching the activity on the river so much fun. The studio apartment is a jewel; super comfy bed, a well-appointed kitchen with everything we could want and a cozy living room with large windows and that same beautiful view with binoculars for bird and boat watching. Wonderful hosts made us feel very welcome in their home. We had an absolutely delightful stay and are looking forward to coming back next year.

Wonderful Place

My husband and I just had the best time staying in Paula and Deb's spot. We loved coming home at night and having a glass of wine on the deck overlooking the cove then cooking dinner on the grill and in the very well stocked kitchen. The bathroom was a great size with a shower that had plenty of hot water and pressure. The smart tv in the living room let us keep up with our shows on Prime. Gloucester is a wonderful town with a great Boulevard to walk right next to the water. We had a delicious dinner at Lobsta Land at the bar outside, the food and view was spectacular. We will definitely be back to this wonderful spot!

Gloucester is awesome

The location’s proximity to the water is awesome, the owners live onsite. Expect a lot of detailed instructions on paper and via phone on how to stay here, the owners are very specific. Also expect to hear a lot of personal information from them, they are personable and approachable but definitely overshared. Also expect them to try and get you to extend your stay, and note that it will cost extra if you do so.

This property is absolutely perfect for a solo vacationer or a couple wishing to enjoy a beautiful, ever-changing tides, sunsets and ocean air. Absolutely perfect location away from the busy downtown, yet close enough to great restaurants, shops and hiking.

TO INFINITY & BEYOND

Our Scale, 10 being the best. Location & View: Infinity. Moored boats, passing boats, brilliant blue water, a different look with every angle of sun. Glorious. Get some food somewhere, but ONLY eat it at the house. Do not miss one second of the view. Cleanliness: Infinity: Embarrassingly cleaner than our house-and our house is VERY clean. Comfort: Infinity. When when WHEN have you gone away and loved the bed? NEVER! Until THIS bed which, by the by, looks out onto said view by merely lifting one’s head from the to-die-for pillows. Hosts: Infinity + 2: Unfathomably kind and welcoming in the midst of a world where people get off being mean to each other. Always meet any needs that may arise in a FRIENDLY manner.

Serene Relaxation coupled with Perfect Location

The location is perfect for exploring Gloucester, Rockport, Ipswich, etc. You’re in the middle of it all but you would never know it because the unit is tucked into a neighboring cove near Lobster Cove, Annisquam. You wan watch the tide go in and out, and enjoy the boat traffic in the channel from your private deck. The unit had everything we needed and was extremely clean and well-appointed. Our hosts take pride in their little peace of heaven, and so they should! We couldn’t have asked for more for our 25th anniversary getaway. Thanks to Deb and Paula!
