Situated on a knoll in Gloucester's Bay View neighborhood, Helena House offers peekaboo views of Ipswich Bay from the second floor bedroom with deck. Decorated with a European sensibility, the home is sunny, comfortable and cheerful, with hardwood floors throughout.
A Queen Anne-style house, you can access the second floor via a front staircase that leads from the living room or from the back staircase via the kitchen. The bedrooms upstairs have AC units for comfort and the separated WC and shower areas provide flexibility.
A lush and private backyard gives you a feeling of being away from it all. Outside you'll find a slate patio, hot and cold outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach.
Spend your summer vacation relaxing, discovering local fauna such as hermit crabs, and swimming to your hearts content. A short walk takes you to Hodgkins Cove where you can swim and enjoy the scenery or walk to many fishing spots and quarries for swimming. The picturesque neighborhood beach of Plum Cove is 6/10 of a mile, and a bit farther is the sweet little village of Lanesville. Annisquam and Rockport are a short drive away, making this home a convenient and comfortable Cape Ann getaway.

Lovely Helena House
by NorahWe had a wonderful stay at Helena House. The rooms are very comfortable and beautifully decorated with a spare, clean aesthetic that feels airy and fresh. There is really nice art on the walls. The bathrooms are beautifully redone, and the kitchen is extremely well equipped, and a pleasure to cook in. Everyone was very comfortable in their bed, and I especially loved the skylights over the king bed, which allowed for nighttime views of the sky, and the lovely sound of the rain. The outdoor shower was also just wonderful. The garden is lush and planted beautifully. I even got some ideas for my garden back home. Lovely places to walk with our dog, and overall a wonderful stay.
We immediately felt at home at Helena’s House. The bedrooms are large and comfortable, the living rooms are welcoming and the kitchen is well equipped. Add an excellent location and all the ingredients of a great stay were in place. All in all, the house is larger than what the pictures suggest and will comfortably house a group of eight. We would definitely come back.
Great House
by John SHelena House worked out perfectly for us - close to the places we wanted to be, sufficient space for our entire party, and places outside and in to relax on our own. Even the unseasonably hot weather when we arrived was manageable with air conditioning in the bedrooms.
Perfect Vacation Home
by SydneyThe house was so clean and lovely! I stayed there with my bridal party the nights leading up to my wedding and it was the perfect spot. It’s walking distance to the beach and it has a beautiful back yard and plenty of indoor spots to hang out. I absolutely loved it and will be back soon!
We are so glad that you enjoyed your pre-wedding stay. And congratulations again!
Helena House - A Perfect Getaway
by JoeThis is a lovely place and we had a wonderful and enjoyable time staying here. Surrounding Annisquam and Laneville area very nice and close to Plum Cove Beach and Hodgkins Cove and their scenic views and beautiful summertime sunsets. Nearby village of Lanesville convenient for breakfast/lunch and other sundries. Would definitely come back again.
Thank you for such a lovely review! We look forward to your return visit.
Review
by UnknownHelena House
by UnknownIf you like to get away for some peace and quiet, but still be within a 5-10 minute drive of the rest of the world, then this is the place. Short walk to two beautiful coves and beautiful views. Sleeps seven comfortably. Good for big families. Plenty of off street parking. Clean and well kept. Windows were a bit of a chore to open, but were functional. Only one issue during our stay - plugged shower drain, but a call to the manager and it was fixed within 1-hour while we were out to dinner.
Thank you for your review! We are glad that we were able to make your stay enjoyable.
