Lovely on the outside , dark heavy musty smell on inside . Bathroom and kitchen are updated & nice aside from moldy shower curtain in bathroom . There was not comfortable place to sit or sleep. Old hard mattresses , uncomfortable old furniture. Poor ventilation, many windows don’t even open . The stairs to the upstairs are treacherous. Walking to the beach is very dangerous as the road is 2 lane highway.

We loved the location of the house, it was a short walk to the beach. It has everything we needed. One reason I’m giving it an 4 starts is because our heat did not work. We could not get clear directions to turn it on or how to trouble shoot even after an email. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time at the cottage. It was awesome to be able to walk to a beach (carefully along a busy street with no sidewalk). The negatives: the cottage is small, the stairs a bit treacherous, the wiring upstairs a bit sketchy. The positives: the space is maximized nicely, the kitchen works well, and it was clean. We were 4 adults and 2 toddlers and would stay again.

Small, outdated uncomfortable furniture. Dirty living room rug that was a tripping hazard. Partial AC (1 window unit on 1st floor) not adequate. Updated kitchen was well equipped. Staircase to the second floor is narrow and steep.

Beach cottage perfect for our needs. Great location, convenient to going everywhere including walking to the beach! Super easy check-in! Great rental.

We found the home to be clean and well stocked. I would not recommend it for anyone with mobility problems as the bedrooms are upstairs and the only bathroom is downstairs. The stairs are tricky. There is no washer or dryer so we didn't need to worry about cleaning the sheets and towels before leaving. There is a gas stove downstairs but the instructions were not there and we could not figure out how to get it started. The two small portable heaters were adequate for our one cool morning. We found the beds and furniture to be comfortable. We would have liked to have a fly swatter for the few small pesky flies. Kitchen appliances worked well. The area was very quiet at night. The home is very convenient to everything on Cape Ann and is close to the beach. We only stayed two nights and it was fine but I wouldn't choose it for a long stay.

Kitchen good and well equiped. Furniture old but comfortable. Yard beautifully manicured.

This is a cute, charming home with an updated kitchen. However, the walls are paper thin and floors creaked. You can hear everyone and everything, including the cars since this house is situated on the main road. Trying to sleep is a bit difficult if you like peace and quiet. Also, being on the main road, the walk to the beach is not ideal if you have little kids or elderly. There are no sidewalks. Overall, it was a well enough stay for a few days. The house is tidy. Although, it could've been cleaned a little better. We found hair, not ours, in some places and dust and cobwebs were everywhere. In addition, we had a constant presence of carpenter ants. We saw at least 3-5 every day. Any food and drinks needed to be put in the fridge or closed up tight. I gave this home three stars because the house is comparable to glamping in a cabin in the woods.

The cottage was a home away from home. Everything was easily accessible. Plenty of fresh linens and towels. Fully stocked kitchen was a bonus. Plus it has a quaint little outdoor sitting area that was great to enjoy with your morning coffee. It was very close to the beach and to town. We really loved staying here. Next time we visit, we will be looking forward to renting this cottage again. Great all around!

Beautiful home, clean and inviting! We loved every second being there and will come back again. It is a bit tricky getting out of the driveway, but that is because oncoming traffic is driving way too fast. Thank you for your hospitality.

We wanted to love this rental. After driving 16 hrs, we were presented with a home that was not tolerable. We had to stay 2 nights (out of 5) due to lack of other options. As advertised, The kitchen is well appointed and updated. It is a short walk to Good Harbor Beach. However, the home is located on a busy road so walking with small children may be tricky and it is very noisy from the traffic. There was a significant sewer smell coming from the water in the bathroom. Worst part was the cockroaches and ants!! Waking to cockroaches on my pillow was the last straw. Would give 0 stars if possible.

Pleasant, small house close to beach.

For beach lovers, this place is only 5 minutes from the beach. Ideal for a small family. The kitchen is new and well appointed. The location is also good for visiting Rockport. The main drawbacks are that it is on a busy road, and there is only one bathroom.

Location great for visiting Gloucester and Rockport. Owners did a great job with modern kutchen addition on the back while keeping seaside cottage charm up front. Guests taking chairs & gear to the beach may want to drive over to Good Harbor Beach Inn entrance, drop off, drive back to house and take the short walk. So worth it!

Nice cottage

Nice cottage

A basic old cottage, fine for short stays. Has a basic kitchen with most cookware you’d need, new appliances. Bathroom is small, but newly remodeled. chairs and toys provided in the shed were nice for trips to the nearby beach. The beach is short walking distance, (beach parking is $30 otherwise) One downside is the road the cottage is on can be busy during the day. No laundry, but a laundromat is nearby if needed.

We can't wait to come back.

We can't wait to come back.

The cottage is adorable and it was a short walk to both Good Harbor Beach and Long Beach (opposite directions from the house). Good Harbor Beach is beautiful, but it wasn't warm enough yet to spend much time on the beach. So instead we had fun in Rockport, went for a hike and checked out a local winery. After dinner we walked to get ice cream on the way to Long Beach, where you can walk along the boardwalk. This was the perfect place for us to get away to and we will definitely be back.
