Point Radio Cottage is one of those rare rentals that looks great online and is even better in person. The setting is stunning, the cottage is comfortable and well cared for, and it’s perfectly located for exploring Cape Ann. We enjoyed it so much we booked a return stay before finishing our first visit.The cottage sits on the grounds of a beautiful coastal property with phenomenal water views. It’s just minutes from Gloucester (and walkable if you’re up for a longer stroll along a gorgeous coastline), with easy drives to Rockport and Manchester-by-the-Sea. Salem is also a doable day trip.The cottage is well-appointed and extremely comfortable. The upstairs is a private primary suite (bedroom and bath), which made it feel spacious and quiet. Everything was thoughtfully set up for a relaxing stay.A fun bonus is the property’s history: the cottage was built above a foundation constructed for what John Hays Hammond originally intended to have been his Castle. The owners provide a comprehensive notebook explaining the background, and the well-stocked bookshelves include Hammond’s autobiography for anyone who wants to dive deeper.The landscaped grounds are great for wandering. If you’re more adventurous, there are stone steps down to a rocky beach at the base of the cottage.If you’re looking for a peaceful Cape Ann getaway with incredible scenery, easy access to nearby towns, and a comfortable home with real character, Point Radio Cottage is an excellent choice.
