About this house rental

Enjoy your vacation sojourn in this newly-renovated home, a short walk to one of New England's most beautiful beaches. This cozy turn-of-the-last-century American Foursquare home is the perfect place to relax and spend time with family or friends.

The main floor features a fully-equipped eat-in kitchen with a granite-topped table for six and ceiling fan. Though there is no central air, Gloucester is surrounded by ocean and delightfully cool in the summer.

Spacious living room has a full-size couch, chair-and-a-half, and matching ottoman (in which are stored board games). TV and stereo system include Bluetooth and HDMI connectivity. Bring your computer or other devices for easy access to your music, movies, etc. Reading, playing board games, stargazing, and walking on the beach are preferred evening and rainy day entertainment. Cellular based Wi-Fi included!

Private fenced-in backyard, deck off of the living room with umbrella table for your morning coffee or evening supper.

Three private bedrooms on the second floor comfortably sleep 6 people (1 queen, 1 full, day bed that transforms into a queen). Full bath includes shower and tub. Towels, hair dryer, linens, pillows, and bedding are provided.

Half bathroom and washer and dryer are in the basement for your convenience. Clothesline in the backyard for hanging out towels and swimsuits to dry after a day or evening at the beach.

2 private parking spaces.

Walk to Little Good Harbor Beach in 10 minutes. Along the way you can pick up your coffee or picnic at Cape Ann Coffee and Stop & Shop right up the street. CVS is there for your sunscreen. Nearby are casual restaurants and walk-up ice cream shop.

Downtown Gloucester is walking/biking distance, with great shopping, dining and nightlife.

It was the best weather week of the summer! Off to Good Harbor Beach each day; seafood & ice cream each night!

We had a nice time staying here. We particularly appreciated the little extras - coffee, tea, condiments and spices in the kitchen, choice of cloth napkins or thick paper ones, large basket of beach towels by the door, a hose to rinse of sand in the back, different patterned towels so each person can tell their own. Warning: the half bath is down a flight of stairs, past the basement laundry and it has a very low ceiling (about 5'4") but you will need to use it since the only other bathroom is upstairs, shared with all three bedrooms.

We enjoyed our stay at Daniel and Carol's house. Choosing Gloucester was a good move for us, location-wise. This house was welcoming, very clean and warm. The pamphlets and literature on the area were very helpful. The house is close to many good restaurants. Our hosts have thought of many things to have on hand for families including lots of games and a doll house. We were very comfortable and felt safe in the neighborhood. Thank you Daniel and Carol.

My family and I enjoyed staying here in Gloucester. The house was well set up with all the kitchen, beach, living supplies we needed. There was even a lovely doll house that captivated my daughter the whole week. The trek to the beach was a bit further than my little one was comfortable with, but easily solved with a beach drop-off or stroller/wagon.

All amenities provided, clean, lovely and picturesque home with fenced in yard in quiet neighborhood (but tight for traffic so leave the kid's bikes and scooters at home!). Lots of brochures and info about local attractions waiting for us on side table. Kid's games, toys and beach gear were a special bonus. Beautiful Good Harbor Beach a short drive (or walk) away.

The cottage was clean and well suited for our needs. Other than making coffee we did no cooking there so cannot comment on the kitchen supplies. The deck was a great place to start the day with morning coffee and the location was convenient to the many wonderful restaurants in Gloucester, and it was close to our other relatives staying in Essex. The neighborhood was a wonderful place for taking leisurely walks that often included either the wonderful coffee shop or the ice cream stand. Should the occasion arise we would definitely return to this location.

Very cute house in a quiet neighborhood. No cable TV, only streaming ability which was a bit confusing. Bathroom sink faucet/hot water was hard to turn on. Only able to use the washing machine, no dryer. Overall, the owner was extremely nice and helpful and we all had a wonderful time.

The house was so clean! My husband and I, along with my mom, sister, and aunt, had an amazing vacation. The property is a short 20 minute drive to Salem making it prime location if you want to take part in the seasonal activities. We had no trouble finding the house, and the neighbors were very friendly. 10/10 would rent this home again.

The house was perfect for my family including kids ages 7, 12, and 16. Especially appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, beach towels, sand toys and boogie boards. Beds were very comfy and the neighborhood is quiet. We hope we can return soon.

We were in town to show off the area to friends and visit with family. This location is perfect for walking downtown and to Little Good Harbor Beach. The living space was larger than expected and the house was very clean and offered good amenities. The host was easy to communicate with and very responsive.
