On the Cove is a spacious three-room apartment is located directly on Lanes Cove in Lanesville (Gloucester) with spectacular ocean views from every room and is literally steps to the water’s edge.

On the Cove (our house and apartment) was used as a movie set in 2017. You can search for "Katie Fforde: Herzenssache" to find the movie trailer online (it is in German). The property was used extensively, as well as surrounding landmarks such as the Fish Shack and along the rocky coast. Also, you can find our webcam by searching "On the Cove" to check out what's going on and the current weather. Also, the property was part of the 2018 Gloucester Garden Tour.
When you stay, you will enjoy the intimacy of the cove as well as the views of Crane Beach and Plum Island across Ipswich Bay. This area is famous for phenomenal sunsets (National Geographic has called it one of the ten best in the world). Lanes Cove is a favorite spot for artists and kayakers alike.
Lanesville is one of the quaint villages encircling Cape Ann and is conveniently located about 10 minutes from either downtown Gloucester or Rockport. You can swim in the cove or take a short walk to Plum Cove beach. Halibut Point State Park and Dogtown Common are only a mile away. Lanesville was the home of many famous authors, painters and sculptors including Virginia Lee Burton, Walker Hancock, Leon Kroll and Paul Manship. It is also the home of the Manship Artist Residency and Studio--a 15 acre estate with two quarries.
Gloucester itself is only an hour by train or car from Boston and is one of New England's best-kept summer vacation secrets. From earliest settlers in 1623 to today's Hollywood film-makers, the beauty of Cape Ann has drawn people from around the world. Made famous in the movie "The Perfect Storm" and now "Wicked Tuna", Gloucester has a rich maritime history and is the oldest working seaport and active artist colony in the United States. Gloucester's historic fishing port, Rockport's famous art galleries, the unique antique shops of Essex, the New England charm of Manchester-by-the-Sea, and the history and museums of nearby Salem make Cape Ann a truly unique vacation destination.

Summary: On the Cove was a great jumping off point for our last minute New England trip. The host was very responsive and check in was simple/easy. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset from the backyard our first evening and the relaxing sound of the waves throughout our stay. There was a small market and cafe steps away from the property, and we enjoyed visiting the towns of Rockport and Gloucester. Would love to say here again!

Summary: Secluded spot on the local’s cove. Enjoyed spectacular sunsets. Steps and path to the property probably not ideal access for anyone with mobility issues.

Summary: The only bad part is leaving! My husband and I have been visiting this little gem off and off for the last 9 years and absolutely love it! We use it for a balance of relaxation (which you absolutely will get in Lanes Cove) and also as a home base for exploring the surrounding areas. Marissa is a wonderful host and is always so prompt in answering questions! We've never had anything but a wonderful stay! The apartment is cozy, yet bright and airy, which we love. We look forward to when we can visit again!

Carol F. Jul 31, 2024 12:35:48 AM
Summary: On the Cove is spectacularly situated and wonderfully managed. The rooms are large and airy, a view of gardens or the cove from every window. Everything indoors is comfortable, everything you need in reach. I loved the voices of children and fishermen. I loved it all.

Summary: Our anniversary trip was enjoyed by endless hiking, eating lobster, and enjoying New England ocean views!

Summary: First off, if I could give more stars to Marissa (the host) I would - I don't think 5 minutes went by after I'd send a message (both before and during the stay) and I'd have a response back. Not just yes/no/OK kind of messages, but warm and thorough replies that made it clear she wanted us to have a good stay and to be sure we didn't have any lingering questions. For the apartment - spotless, well stocked, thoughtful touches (welcoming goodies), and covered all the bases. Heating is radiant from the floors and really works well, as does the hot water and water pressure. The backyard literally is the ocean and the views from each window are not "peeks", it's front and center full on cove and ocean. Easily walkable to local coffee store and small liquor/grocery store. 10 - 15 minute drive to either downtown Rockport or downtown Gloucester. reviewers said is true! If you've spent time in Rockport (as I have for many years), you'll be surprised at the quiet. No cars/no motorcycles/no groups of tourists at every corner, just peaceful views and for those that you pass on the street when walking, a smile and hello! One other word about the host. It's easy to run a great place when all goes well. It's when things go wrong that the good rise to excellent. There were some minor things that came up. Within minutes all was taken care of and again with the sincere effort that showed care and concern for our comfort. A++!

Summary: The apartment was exactly as described. Well appointed. Good communication with owner when necessary. Lovely views. Ability to control the heat much appreciated. A great spot to spend the Christmas holiday.
