The house had a nice outdoor deck, but for some reason - without any explanation - the deck was unavailable for use. The photos show the deck quite prominently so that was very misleading. Maybe there was a reason that the deck was not available this time, but nobody explained this to us beforehand. We had to text and call and were simply told that it was not available. Other than that, we enjoyed the stay in Beverly. But Vacasa could do a better job next time!

Lovely location and decent decor but a lot of unresolved issues. The kitchen was poorly stocked overall (for drinkware, only four plastic drinking cups and some wine glasses) and we weren't able to access the deck for the entire stay because of a faulty door. On the first day of our stay I was told a technician would be sent for the door, but no one ever arrived and no explanation was ever given, even after I repeatedly contacted property management. (At least we could see that the patio furniture wasn't at all inviting.) I asked about AC because it would be hot during our stay and was told that although there's no AC, there are five ceiling fans. All of the fans were in poor condition and noisy, and the two downstairs didn't work at all. As with the door, we were given no assistance with this even after contacting them. We booked close to the date of our trip, when few other properties were available. If you have other options, I recommend going elsewhere.

My family of 3, plus my sister with her partner could all sleep comfortably at the Goat Hill Cottage. The bedrooms are a large size for an older home. The bathrooms are renovated and updated very nicely. The towels and bed linens are exceptional. Most importantly it was very clean. The playground was across and the walk to the river which has a sandy beach was next door, both perfect for children . Please note: This property does not have central AC or window units and in July it was to hot to be comfortable. But the home and its location are great, we would love to stay again in the fall season!

Stayed here to do college visits in Boston. House was super clean upon arrival and stocked for all our needs. We cooked most of our meals and there was all the kitchen equiptment we needed to do this (pots, pans, utensils, etc) Beautiful deck with views of the park and bay, which was perfect for morning coffee. Quick ride into Boston. Right next door to Salem. Great dog friendley park across the street. Perfect place for a dog friendley visit to Boston.

Good stay at the Goat Hill Cottage. 3 full bedrooms and several couches and a pullout made for a great large family gathering. Fairly good stocked kitchen and a terrific deck for hanging out were key. A great grassy park with playground right across the street along with the river beach. A walk to town for coffee and dinner is so convenient. And the train station for checking out other areas is a five minute walk away. It’s good to know that it has a kerug coffee machine.

This is a nice property and pretty well equipped in the kitchen. The internet was basically never connected and with several of us trying to work it was a bad situation. Had to use hotspots or go elsewhere. Called the property management, sent pictures of the router... filled out a ticket. They said someone would contact us... didn't happen. My wife called Xfinity and they said "you have an old modem, upgrade." Property owners apparently said "no way" to that request...
