We absolutely love our family time while staying at Jennifer’s house. This year, we celebrated an engagement and Jennifer was extremely accommodating!
You just can’t beat the short walk to the beach, the spaciousness both inside and out and that outdoor shower. Grandchildren are already talking about going back. Thanks again, Jennifer!

If you want easy, quick access to an absolutely wonderful beach and have a pet to accommodate, this is a good place to meet your needs. There are 3 mini-split a/c units: in 2 upstairs bedrooms and in the living area. There's a ceiling fan in the dining/kitchen area. Two bedrooms do not have a/c, unless the owner has installed a window unit. Large trees provide shade and a lovely privacy screen from the nearest neighboring properties; this place really benefits from not having other properties very close by — you have privacy even when using the large deck space & grilling with the gas grill. Plenty of towels and beach towels are provided! The freezer has an ice maker.

It was our second stay here, and we had another wonderful time!

Wonderful access to a fabulous beach (5 minutes away). That was a real priviledge. The house is in need of TLC but owner was responsive when an issue arose.

All previous reviews were pretty spot on. Location location location— helped us look past the little things:
Towels are well worn, kitchen (sharp) knives, wine glasses and other drink ware were very limited.
Bathroom door didn’t close. We couldn’t find a blender.
Again, all of these things were minor and the rest of our experience was perfect!
We loved the huge deck (bring safety gates if you have little ones) Other common areas were able to accommodate our extended family comfortably. (6 adults, 3 children under 4).
The beach is so close that one of us could easily walk back to grab something or use the bathroom.
Outdoor shower (shower curtain could be replaced) was ideal.
The house is within 15 minutes of downtown, shopping, urgent care, etc although there’s a variety store minutes away with just about anything.
We are coming back next summer. Thankfully.

The house is as others describe, with some needed updates, but the bathrooms and kitchen were clean and functional. The house was a great size, plenty of room for our group of 7 and the A/C was lovely. Great comfy sun porch with windows that provided a great reading space with a lovely cross breeze. And the beach is stunning, and so close. It is the star. I just wish I had more time to enjoy the sunset and long walks out there. Truly, a magical beach. Great food and fun places to see not too far away. Jennifer was very responsive. A bit more instruction and tips about house would be helpful.

Best part about this property was how close it is to the beach! The house is charming with plenty of room to spread out or come together. It was great for our multi-generational group!

Loved this place! Great layout, plenty of room and the beach was beautiful. Heads up on getting the greenhead spray ahead of time if you come in July!

Location!! A short walk to the most beautiful private beach I’ve ever seen! The sand actually sparkles. We enjoyed the nature finds on the beach as well (sand dollars!! Hermit crabs! And more). Minutes away from Wingaersheek beach, which was a beautiful adventure of its own! The house is worn with love, but very clean and perfectly functional. We all slept comfortably, enjoyed the beautiful deck and yard, sipped tea in the amazing sun room, loved the outdoor shower, and had plenty of bathrooms for all. Absolutely no complaints. The pictures of the property don’t do it any justice. Very private and safe neighborhood. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

We had a wonderful week. Plenty of fun things to do for all ages. We went in the winter but still enjoyed our walks on this beautiful beach. It’s close to Boston where we went to the stand zoo with our grandkids. They loved it too!

I’m glad this house was available on such a short notice, as our other location fell through at the last minute. Cute house with plenty of room. Jennifer was very nice and made the check in very simple. The house sets back off the road and made it feel like you were out in the country. Short walk to the beautiful beach. Gloucester is a cute little town with some great places to eat.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this clean and comfortable beach cottage. The layout worked well for our large, multi-generational group. The beach is a very short walk from the house and just tremendous, especially for families with young children. The sand is pristine and the water is shallow. We hope to return!!!

The highlight of this stay was far and away the stunning beach and very short easy walk. Our young children loved running the private beach, wading in the shallow waters, and searching for shells and sand dollars among the tide pools. We cannot wait to return to this beach again.
The house is plenty big enough for our family of four and then some. The AC units worked tremendous and kept the house perfectly cool even on the hottest of days.
The house is in need of a deep clean, small repairs, and some basic updates. The owner is very nice but seems very busy and doesn’t provide a lot of guidance or instruction.

Our family had a wonderful time during our stay. The house is adorable, comfortable, and had plenty of space for our family of six. There’s air conditioning which made it comfortable on hot days. My husband had to work a few days and the WiFi worked well enough for his meetings.
The very best part though is the short walk to the beach. It is the most beautiful, peaceful beach we’ve been to. It’s not crowded at all, the sunset is amazing. The beach is very flat with calm waves. My children loved playing in the water and sand and collecting shells. We even found several sand dollars. This really is the perfect beach for children. Most places, I make sure I’m an arms reach away from my younger kids anytime they’re close to the water and it’s stressful. Here, with the space and gentle water, they could play while I sit and relax and enjoy as much as them! Thanks for this beautiful rental! We’d love to return sometime!

Our family just returned from a wonderful and relaxing beach vacation for 25 nights at Jennifer’s beautiful home. It was difficult to leave the comfort of the natural surroundings, the deck and living areas and the amazing private beach just a pathway away. Thank you Jennifer!

The house is very convenient to get to the beach. Enjoyed many walks with our dog on the beach, also saw several awesome sunsets. The area is great!

The house is fine, but the star of the show is the beach. Much closer than you'd expect via the deeded beach access is a vast expanse of white sand and sky. We walked for miles with our dogs, saw very few people, and relaxed. The house was cozy. We very much enjoyed the fireplace and made good use of the kitchen. Our host answered the few questions we had promptly. I love the beach in winter and this was the perfect place.

A lovely home located a short walk from the beautiful Wingearsheek/ Coffin Beach. The house had everything we needed and communicating with Jen was easy when we encountered some difficulty with the heating system. She resolved the problem immediately and we were toasty warm for our entire stay. Our dog just loved being on the beach and although it was October, he managed to get a good swim in the ocean everyday. A perfect place to relax, regroup and enjoy nature.

Great stay at Jennifer’s house! Steps from the beach and amazing deck and sunroom. We loved our late August stay. Highly recommend!

The property is beautiful and the location is amazing. We loved the house and the beachy decor and we had everything we needed. It was also sparkling clean when we arrived and the owners made us feel very comfortable. We hope to come back.
