Great rental. Extremely well decorated, comfortable furniture, well equipped kitchen. Nice bright windows. Extremely clean and well maintained. Great deck set up with view of part of the harbor. Really good seafood takeout a 3-minute walk away. 5-minute drive to downtown; parking is tight but we got parking easily 1-2 short blocks off Main Street. Great seafood restaurants and a nice Italian section too. Definitely would return and definitely recommend this property.

My husband and I chose this VRBO as a getaway treat to celebrate our upcoming 50th wedding anniversary, and it delivered four days and five nights of splendid relaxation. The accommodations more than met our expectations, and we were able to forget about our troubles and enjoy each others company and our surroundings without any fear of being disappointed. Even the weather cooperated and allowed us to enjoy the balcony/deck in the evenings while taking in the blue water and colorful fishing vessels in the harbor. The proximity to excellent dining was another perk. Although we have visited Gloucester four times in the past, we discovered a few new haunts which offered the freshest and most delicious seafood to be found just about anywhere on the eastern seaboard, and we have tried many over the years. One restaurant and another purveyor of fresh seafood were within walking distance. Here are a few items that we truly appreciated: 1. Tasteful and comfortable decor. 2. Delightful artwork throughout. 3. A well-appointed kitchen with a Keurig!. All-Clad pans, and sharp knives. Ice cubes ready on arrival in the freezer. 4. Comfy mattresses and pillows. Reading lights next to the beds. 5. Thick, soft toilet paper. Really. 6. Linda, whose knowledge of the area and proximity and availability for questions was very helpful, especially when my husband couldn't get the washer started because he failed to close the door all of the way. Thanks, Linda.

We were really impressed with Summerwind cottage, it was beautifully decorated, and comfortable. Linda gave us great recommendation on what to do/see in the area. We can't wait to visit again.

We were there for a long, adults-only weekend to visit Salem and this cottage did not disappoint. Cottage is exactly as described and the owner Linda was very friendly, pleasant, and helpful! Can't wait to be back for another trip.

My best friend, her daughter, and I had our first girls trip to the charming cottage on the bay. The space was perfect for the three of us and had everything we needed for our trip. At the end of our days in Salem it was nice to sit out on the deck and watch the sunset. Linda provided exceptionally good communication and accommodations to our extra needs. We were sad to leave.

We loved the warm welcome we had from the owner, Linda. The house was clean and perfectly provisioned with everything we needed. We were well located to visit Boston (via train) and surrounding areas. We loved our stay! I highly recommend this home. Nathalie and friends (Canada & Switzerland)

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay!! We had a family wedding & this was the perfect place to stay!! The porch offers a gorgeous view of the harbor & we look forward to returning to explore the area. Linda is a wonderful host & super welcoming!!

We enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Linda was very attentive to us and made sure we had everything we needed. Sunsets were memorable!
