The Aerie

Welcome to Aerie! Enjoy this grand gathering house with great flow and enough rooms for all the beach lovers in your life. The home is situated between two of Cape Ann's most coveted beaches, Long Beach and Good Harbor Beach. As an added bonus the home is moments walk to an ice cream stand and pizza shop. Beamed ceiling, paneled walls, and wood floors throughout provide period detail and create a traditional cottage vibe. The first floor includes an open concert kitchen and dinning area, a bath with stand up shower, a large living room with lots of seating, and a cozy den with fireplace. There is also a finished, enclosed 1st level porch washed with natural light that opens onto a large exterior patio perfect for outdoor dinning and lounging. Laundry is also located on this level. The 2nd level features 8 bedrooms*, and another full bath. Two of the front bedrooms room have distant ocean views. These rooms are the only rooms in the house that do NOT have AC. The rest of the house is cooled either by central air or window units. (Window units removed in early fall). The house can sleep 16 people in beds. One bed is located on the sleeping porch at the front of the house between two of the other bedrooms and does not have full privacy (a glass door separates this door from the hallway but we have provided a curtain). The name Aerie means an elevated, secluded dwelling and this home is just that. This near 100 year old beach cottage is perched above Thatcher road making it a quick walk to local beaches. The large driveway, and an additional small lot across the street, allow guests to park up to ten cars. UPDATE: All bed Linens/bath towels are included. Please note, the front two bedrooms on the sleeping porch are uninsulated but are heated. Guests can use these rooms at their discretion during winter stays.
