The house is incredibly beautiful AND comfortable - has everything you need. Screened in porch is great for meals. Short 7 minute walk to Singing Beach, one of the best beaches on the North Shore. Robin is very responsive. Highly recommend. S

We were so happy to be able to spend time at Robin's beautiful home once again. Location can't be beat, the house is set up perfectly for our multi-generational family, and Robin was so understanding and flexible regarding our pre-visit questions. Thanks, Robin!

Simply a really great home in a really great location. We are looking forward to go back for years to come. Thanks Robin!

There is not anything I don’t like about this house! It’s comfortable, beautifully appointed and extremely well located. Five stars all around! 😁

The house, the location, and the host were all wonderful. Our family had a fantastic vacation. I would definitely rent again.

This was our family’s second year staying at Robin’s and it was as equally fabulous as the year before. The house is perfect for a family and gives you access to all of the great things Manchester offers. Robin keeps the place in fabulous shape and is always easy to reach if you have any questions. We could not have enjoyed it more. Thanks Robin!

Our multi-generational family of 7 loved staying at Robin's lovely, comfortable home. The house is beautifully decorated; the layout allows for many to gather together for meals and games, and also for those who need it (naps!) to retreat to quiet spaces; the central air, screened-in porch, well-equipped kitchen, large private lawn, sound system, Robin's responsiveness and excellent communication -- all make for comfort and relaxation. And the location can't be beat: we walked to and from the beach and the playground several times a day, even with a one-year-old; we took the train to Rockport and Gloucester for outings, we explored shops and nature trails throughout Cape Ann. A fabulous house, perfect location, and perfect vacation. Thanks, Robin!

This adorable cottage is even better (& bigger) in person! Our children loved the large lawn almost as much as the beach down the street. The house had everything we needed for the week and was clean and comfortable. We hope to go back again next summer!

This is a lovely property, even in the rain. There was nothing not to love about this house- comfort,proximity to beach, and a luxuriously outfitted kitchen. A great place.

My family and I stayed in the cottage while doing some renovations on our house. We had a great stay in this pretty cottage, lots of room, very well equipped, great location, big yard. 5 stars!!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful home. It was well equipped, nicely laid out, and in a great location. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom showers were great. The living room was a lovely place for socializing and the window seat was a cozy reading spot. Robin & Gary were very responsive whenever we needed anything. There was easy access to scenic Singing Beach. All in all, a wonderful spot! Thank you, Robin & Gary!

Gary and Robin’s house is a true gem in Manchester By-the-Sea. The location could not be better (short walk to town and beach). The house is nicely furnished and comfortable, having had a very thoughtful restoration recently. Offering a fabulous floor plan, the house provided our family of four an amazing home away from home for two weeks. We dined on the screened in porch, used the grill many nights and the kids loved playing in the very large flat yard. We walked to town for groceries, ice cream at Captain Dusty’s, dinner at local restaurants and walked to the beach every day. Smith’s point offers a great 2 mile walk along the water as well. The bathrooms are spacious and have fabulous water pressure while the kitchen accommodates a serious chef. We didn’t have a single issue during our stay and so look forward to a return visit. Thank you Robin and Gary!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week’s residence in this charming house, beautifully located near Singing Beach and in Manchester by the Sea. Carefully and tastefully appointed and decorated this historic house is a gem. The owners, Robin and Gary, genuinely welcomed us in a way that added to the warmth of our enjoyment.

Charming New England home with beautiful expansive lawn close to beaches and town. The home is beautifully appointed with high-end appliances. We spent quite a time on the porch and barbecuing outside. The owner was responsive and very helpful. The train is only two blocks away which allows guests to easily visit Boston or Rockport. I highly recommend this home.

Our family comes back again and again to this beautiful property. Robin and Gary are gracious hosts, the house is lovely, and singing beach is one of the best.

We spent three weeks in the delightfull community of Manchester by the Sea in this charming home. The home is within walking distace to all of our favorite places to eat as well as to the beach and the local sailing doc. The home was fully equipped, met our needs perfectly, and the owners made us feel like welcomed guests. If you want to feel like a local, this is the place for you!

Clean and roomy

It was a very quiet and relaxing place. Ad it was exceptionally clean.

Robin and Gary were helpful and gracious as always - see you again next year!

The home provides the perfect setting to spend your time at the beach, walk around town, enjoy the amenities of the house on a quiet evening, or take a quick trek along the North Shore or down to Boston via the T. The owners are very friendly and take great care in the home.

My guests and I spent a relaxing vacation in the cottage - walkable to the beach and an easy day drive to explore other towns and restaurants on the North Shore. The Swayzes were very nice and available. The house and kitchen were very well equipped, with good lighting and comfortable living spaces. I hope to be returning next year for a longer stay.
