| Are you dreaming of a summer vacation in a quaint town on Cape Ann, Massachusetts? Rent a country cottage within walking distance of Essex, MA, a coastal village filled with marinas, restaurants, antiques, museums, kayaking, sailing and river tours. Or, have you dreamt of a summer vacation rental place far enough "out of town" that you can stroll for miles into big sky marshes filled with bird life? Overlooking the Essex River, bordering its vast tidal wetlands, sits just such a cottage, an easy walk to town (double click picture on right to see area map). Rented by the week in the summer, each of these condos support a family of 4 to 6, or 2 to 3 vacationing couples. |
