Pintail Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 There seems to be plenty for rent here at present... You may call me at work at (978)282.1550 and I shall give you the telephone number of Elizabeth Kennett: she was an NSPNer and has gone to nursing school in NH for a year -- I do not know if her place is empty of occupied at present. It is <very> close to the water (outer harbour, near Stage Fort Park) and might be ideal for you, by the sound of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys!!!!! rob Anya & Sammy too Sure wish I had known about this about two months ago (Beverly), as I just rented my place to a stranger I am already not thrilled with. It was on the NSPN Classifieds forever. Oh well, maybe next time. The boats would be a little awkward, but I am told you can rent a slip for fairly cheap money. That's what someone else does with her kayak who lives in the building. Good luck. Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys!!! r Rob, Not sure of your price range, but I pulled up a number of places in Salem on craigslist. For example, http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/abo/1081148165.html. This one is located on a beautiful dead-end street that ends at the water (Disclaimer: I don't have any connection to this property.)

thief Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks Kevin! going to check that one out! Ended up spending the day up in Beverly on Saturday. Met up with 2 people (the third guy claimed that he had a concussion and missed the appt). One of the guys mentioned that he knew of a couple other places to check out so we headed off to Stone St. in Beverly; def. the best apartment we had seen out of the lot. See how it all goes! now to figure out which bots is the important one(S) to bring good winds! r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob C Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hi Rob, I love Salem (OK, the pubs, the restaurants, and especially the Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem) but Beverly to Gloucester is a MUCH easier commute than Salem to Gloucester, especially if you find a place in North Beverly or near Rt 128 or both. Salem is nice but the non-128 part of the commute could end up being a grind -- Rt 1A in the morning isn't fun (I've done the reverse commute to the dentist in Marblehead and the vet in Salem). If you're looking for T access to Boston then West Gloucester is a place to consider -- like Beverly and Salem, it has a commuter rail station (on Rt133) and good parking. You can also get to the same station pretty quickly from Essex, which more-or-less straddles Rt 133, and also has some nice rentals. If you're interested, contact me or Deb and we'll get you plugged into the Essex rental grapevine. And stop by some time -- your commute brings you within a couple of hundred yards of our house. The surf at Nahant was great yesterday... where were you??? Bob (& Deb) PS: The Bahiya awaits you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
