Lovely, comfortable home
Our family of 4 and sometimes 5 adults., with 3 young children, thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Stacey was exceptionally responsive to every question and need. The house is comfortable, spacious, and convenient to everything—shops, restaurants, and beautiful Singing Beach. We were there for 3 weeks and didn’t want to leave!

A Perfect Vacation Location!
A beautiful and very comfortable location for our large family vacation. Perfectly appointed with everything we could need - including beach towels and tennis racquets to use on the courts right across the road from the house. The beach and village are within walking distance, but Stacey will very graciously secure a beach parking pass for your car! The weather was so incredibly hot and humid during our week, but we were so comfortable with air conditioning in our bedrooms and many fans in the house - even one on the porch that gave us a most wonderful breeze and kept the mosquitoes away each evening. We (all 9 of us plus our three pups) loved our stay and highly recommend "Brook-By-The-Sea".

Comfortable Home-away-from-Home in Idyllic Manchester-by-the-Sea
A holiday spent in the North Shore's jewel, Manchester-by-the-Sea, would be greatly enhanced with a stay at "Brook by the Sea". This home is comfortably appointed, offering a cozy cook's kitchen, which opens onto a spacious family room and ample dining room, creating a warm and welcoming space for family and friends. Four bedrooms offer generous sleeping space. The master bedroom is set apart from the other three bedrooms and has an ensuite bath for additional privacy. The front porch is a delightful spot to enjoy breakfast or an evening cocktail, and the back patio served as the perfect (less formal) setting for a Maryland-Style crab feast. The fully fenced yard and swing set make this a perfect spot for families of all ages, shapes and sizes. All amenities are within a quick stroll through the winding streets of this charming city-by-the-sea. Crosby's Market, churches, the pharmacy, library, restaurants and shops are all within a few minutes walk. Singing Beach is one of the most glorious beaches on the East Coast. This gem is a speedy drive or a very manageable walk from the house. The Owners of this home are welcoming, helpful with travel tips, and quick to respond to requests and queries. The townspeople are friendly, creating a sublime setting to enjoy a memorable get away. You will thoroughly enjoy your stay!

Magical home in beautiful Manchester!
We had a wonderful stay at this Manchester-by-the-Sea home. The house is exactly as promised - lots of space, beautiful bedrooms, everything anyone would need for a family of four (or more). We arrived to find everything immaculate. This was a "turn key" experience. What an amazing neighborhood - so quiet and cute, but very close to downtown. Singing Beach (about a mile from the house) is unbelievably beautiful - with the beach passes, beach toys, chairs and umbrella, we were ready to go! We had a few questions during our stay and the owners were immediately responsive. The weather wasn't always perfect and that didn't bother us a bit! The house is so comfortable, we were able to just relax, read and watch a movie with the kids. I would highly recommend this home to anyone with a family - it's clean, roomy, convenient and homey. Our girls are 8 and the home was just perfect for them. Manchester-by-the-Sea is a perfect alternative to the very busy Cape. It's a very nice "hometown" feeling - with easy access to a gorgeous beach and delicious restaurants. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful vacation rental in beautiful Manchester-by-the-Sea
This is a truly wonderful home for a family stay in Manchester-by-the-Sea! The description in the listing was accurate in all respects. Everyone in our party absolutely loved staying there. The property is very child-friendly, and the 4 children in our group were thrilled to be there from the moment we arrived throughout our entire stay. The house is gorgeous, very clean and well kept and equipped, and it comfortably accommodated our party of 6 adults and 4 children. The property has a terrific, large fenced-in yard with play structures for children - all the parents in our party felt that it was just perfect. The location is fantastic - just a very short walk to the town and shopping and also a short and pleasant walk to Singing beach. It is also just a short drive from the house to Crane beach. We had great beach days at both beaches during our stay. The house is in a very nice neighborhood, peaceful and quiet, and it is located right across the street from a park. The owners provided excellent customer service - interactions were all prompt and very nice. I would absolutely recommend the property to friends and family, and we hope to stay there again. It was terrific - we couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay!

Long Weekend in New England
Had a wonderful long weekend with our adult children. Did not spend a lot of time at the house as we were out and about the whole time (Manchester to Ipswich to Rockport to Gloucester to Ogunquit to Kennebunkport to Portsmouth ... and the grand finale of a baseball game at Fenway Park) but it was perfect for our needs. We had a couple of issues, but Stacey resolved quickly (and the wifi issue we resolved ourselves). The house is very nice. The only thing keeping me from rating it 5 stars instead of 4 is that I think "air conditioning" in the homeaway ad is a bit misleading ... Otherwise, top notch!

Manchester by the Sea
The home was lovely and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Nice yard and lots of toys, bikes, etc. to make our stay with children enjoyable. Loved the convenience of walking to grocery and shops. Weather was lovely, too cold to enjoy the beach. Overall a nice family vacation.
