I can’t say enough about how much we loved this house. Very clean, spacious, and comfortable (with lovely art, which is rare for a rental!) in a perfect location where you’re only about ten minutes from all the Gloucester beaches, as well as Essex. The property is relaxing and beautiful, if we’re ever in the area again we would definitely stay at this house again.

Great location very clean

This is a nice home with great views of the marsh. It is tucked away in a nice wooded private lot. The location is good, as you're 2 minutes from the freeway and 10 minutes from Gloucester. You do get freeway noise, but its not bad and just becomes white noise. You're also walking distance from Lobsta Land, which has good food and great views. We found all the beds to be comfortable and bathrooms spacious. The only unfortunate thing is that the cleaning crew really missed the mark. We did report this issue (in detail) to the owners and they assured us that this would be addressed!

We had a great week in Gloucester! The house is clean, well equipped and spacious with lots of light. Nice backyard with seating area and deck with grill. Close to multiple different beaches. Owners were attentive and responsive. Highly recommend!

Grateful that we were able to rent such a nice place on short notice in a central Cape Ann location for our busy week of familial obligations, doctor appointments, and business meetings. Slept great every night, and appreciated the beautiful views during the sunny summer days … even the rainy days were enjoyable. :-) Thanks so much to the kind owners who share their family’s vacation house with others. What a wonderful gift! Thanks!

This is an immaculate, modern property tucked away near a peaceful marsh. The home was well-stocked with everything we needed for our stay. In particular, I appreciated all of the kid-friendly amenities for our 2-year old -- plastic cups and dishes, pack-and-play, adaptable potty seat, etc. The house is very near Route 128 so it's easy to drive to the beaches and scenic towns in the nearby area. It's easy to access the grocery store, drug stores, as well. The hosts' art collection makes the house stand out in a good way from the typical beach house decor you might expect. I'll add that the house is quite large and the bedrooms afford privacy if you are looking to travel with extended family or a group of friends. You can have togetherness or privacy if you wish. The hosts were attentive and while we didn't need any special assistance, they were kind enough to check in by text periodically during the course of our stay. There is a lobster joint within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a great two-week family holiday (4 adults and one busy toddler for the first week and 2 more adults the second week) at this house, which is spacious and conveniently located. Sam was a great host and easily accessible for all our questions and needs. He was very efficient solving any issues as well. The house is very well stocked and has all your bathroom and kitchen needs. We especially loved how kid- friendly it was with a great bunk bed in the room off of the living room and tons of games and toys. We loved sitting on the porch and watching the beautiful sunsets on the marsh, and enjoyed observing the active bird and wild life (a wild turkey, a small fox, and two deers were some of our neighbors) from the kitchen table. The house is right off of Rte 128 and only couple minutes from Gloucester town center, which made it very convenient to drive to the nearby Cape Ann towns - any town from Salem to Rockport, or Manchester-by-the-Sea to Essex & Ipswich was 15-20 minutes drive at most. There is plenty to do in this area (good museums and historic houses, great beaches [Crane Beach is a must], lots of antique stores [mostly in Essex], whale watching, etc.) and great seafood, including at the Lobsta Land down the street. We had a comfortable stay and cannot wait to be back!

We had an incredibly relaxing stay. The home was spacious and soothing. Watching the sunsets from living room & staying warm by the fireplace. Whether hiking in Ravenswood, looking for shells at Wingaersheek beach, or shopping at Rockport—you’re never more than a 10 minute drive from this beautiful location. Sam & Jen are great hosts. From the decor to the well-labeled fixtures, you can tell they’ve put a lot of thought in making a great experience for us.
