I’m a Gloucester “native” born and raised there now living in California. Made the journey East with my daughter, grandson and his wife to bring my husband who was also a “native” back home, his final request,
celebrating his memory with family living here and in the area! Looked for a home close to Good Harbor Beach, and 21 Marina Drive, a 5 minute drive, was available. Our host, Julee, quickly responded, and because this visit would include such an important event, was very accommodating about kindly and generously providing her home during our chosen dates.
The home is strategically located on a quiet street, walking distances to car rental, grocery shopping, restaurants, and the beach. Also affords opportunities for spectacular walks along the ocean for miles. It has more than ample room for 4 or more to enjoy a cozy and comfortable place to return to after a day of exploration and adventuring. It was a great base for venturing out to connect with out of town family and other attractions. Bearskin Neck, just a few miles down the road in Rockport. Is one of the all time favorites. Nice, as well, to have a well-equipped kitchen and lovely patio with a barbecue for relaxing at home and just hunkering down to take a break from “touristing” once in a while.
Our host was very conscientious about checking in to make sure that everything was going smoothly and help with any questions or concerns.
We loved being here!

The beds were good and shower was good Communication with the owner was great. I have a few suggestions. The lighting in the kitchen and living room was poor. I would add more of that. I would also have a bigger table in the kitchen as there was no counter space and we cooked a lot. We brought a folding table and cutting board with us.

We rented Om Sweet Om for four nights. It's a super clean cottage with three bedrooms and a basic kitchen in a really good location a long stone's throw from Good Harbor Beach, and close to Gloucester center, Rockport and Annisquam. We had four adults and two kids and there was plenty of room inside and out for everyone.

This house was the perfect size for our family of four. It was clean, nicely updated and pleasant to stay in. We had everything we needed and Julee was a very gracious and helpful owner.

Cozy, newly renovated house in a quiet neighborhood. We could walk to the coffee shop in the mornings and, within a 15-minute drive, be anywhere else. There's a nice deck for sitting outside and the living area lets in beautiful light. We had our little Boston Terrier with us so fellow dog owners should know that Gloucester is not a particularly dog-friendly town. Very few restaurants would let us bring him with us (I'm talking about outside dining, of course) and the beaches that allowed leashed dogs were few and far between. Good Harbor Beach -- the one closest to this property -- is very pretty but definitely NOT dog friendly at all. We had great luck, however, at Wingaersheek Beach, where dogs are allowed after Sept 15. Ipswitch Ale Brewery was also very dog friendly and had good food. Overall, it was a lovely getaway and the property was a great home base, given its centralized location; so easy to get to wherever we felt like roaming on any given day!

We had a lovely stay. It is a nicely decorated cozy house. The three bedrooms had nice beds and ours had a super comfy mattress. Nice living space so we could spend time with friends from the area without feeling cramped. The yard is lovely with outside table and chairs and grill. All in all it was perfect for us! Thanks Julee!
