A returning guest writes:
"Our family and friends savored every moment at this ultimate Gloucester hideaway. Spectacular views of the rivers from the screened-in porch or master suite upstairs were heavenly. Plenty of room to dine, relax, or launch the kayaks. And just down the lane was a jetty and small beach perfect for swimming, lounging, or boating. We were so content in this beautiful private haven and lushly decorated home and environs that we barely got to Gloucester and Rockport. There was a place and activity for each of us and the short commute to the Boston area allowed for impromptu and return guests! Our first time on a Vrbo expedition and we booked our return trip before we left!"

It rained the first three days so we relaxed and enjoyed the comfortable beds and couches. We also watched the democratic convention on the tv over the fireplace. When the sun shined we took out the kayaks at high tide and explored the area. We also enjoyed the local restaurants and Good Harbor beach after 4 pm. Great relaxing vacation!

My wife and I could not be happier with our stay here! Incredibly clean and comfortable. Screened porch was perfect for staying outside and reading and relaxing. Beds are super comfortable. We loved it so much we asked to extend our stay! MaryHelen was incredibly responsive to our questions. Very close to downtown and the views of the marsh and Annisquam were exactly what we wanted. We couldn’t recommend it more and definitely hope to return again! Thank you for a great Anniversary trip!

We had a great relaxing week at MaryHelen’s house in Gloucester. The location was perfect and the view of the marsh and river from the porch was lovely to enjoy morning coffee and evening cocktails!
Everything was as shown on the listing.
Communication was exceptional. We were short bath towels when we arrived and on Sunday a bag of clean linens were delivered and were told to use what we needed.
We would definitely stay here again when visiting family.

Beautiful view. Lots of room to enjoy the house. We really enjoyed the short distance to so many special places Rockport, Rockyneck, Salem and Boston. Used the kayaks and enjoyed the river. Looking forward to visiting again.

Beautiful, clean, lots of room, host is easily reachable and very nice. This is our 5th VRBO vacation and we thought last years Cape Cod rental would be tough to beat but this one did.

Such a cozy home perfect for getaway with the family. Truly an amazing spot tucked away with the most beautiful views, and only 5 min drive into Gloucester. Highly recommend for anyone looking for beautiful river views off the beaten path.

We enjoyed our stay in Gloucester, MA. Very comfortable and spacious house. Waking up every day and watching the tides rolling in was an added treat. Great location, close to downtown Gloucester and the waterfront. We took the Kayaks out on the water one day and was a great experience. Would highly recommend this house.

We had a really wonderful stay at the Gloucester Riverside Retreat House! Our host was super responsive and the checkin process was a breeze. We had 8 friends in town staying here for a wedding nearby and we couldn’t have found a cozier spot to house everyone. There were beautiful views of the river, and a nice screened in porch to enjoy them from. The interior was very clean and updated. The place feels like a real home, not just a McRental like a lot of places I’ve stayed. The kitchen is nice and big, there’s a cozy living room, and all the beds were super comfortable. We took their kayaks on the river, which was really nice. Great place to cozy up if the weather is rough, or enjoy the area if it’s sunny!
