We (my husband , our 11-year-old daughter, and I) really enjoyed our weeklong stay here. Everything was super clean, and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need to cook, and so much more. You could easily entertain while staying here! Instructions were really thorough and helpful, and Jen was responsive. We managed to get ourselves locked out of the apartment (totally our fault) and she was patient and helpful in getting us back in. Its was an ideal location for exploring the island. You can walk to the package store, Lanes Cove and Plum Cove Beach. Great parking, easy everything. The surprise snacks were an extra bonus (so appreciated after traveling all day), and the home is equipped with loads of beach towels. We'll absolutely stay there again. Thanks, Jen!

Jen's place was cozy and comfortable. The location was great, near historic Gloucester with great shopping and restaurants, and two nice beaches, and a short walk to a beautiful cove. The beds were comfortable, there were big fluffy towels, and even snacks and bottled water! Jen's recommendations to Sugar Magnolias and Lobsta Land were perfect. We ate at both restaurants twice!

All of the basics like wifi and towels were there plus Jennifer was nice enough to leave some chips and croissants. It is very close to Plum and Lane coves for swimming and exploring. Close enough to Gloucester and Rockport. Highly recommended. But leave some time for me. I want to go back.

Clean, quiet and cozy upstairs apartment in residential area of coastal Gloucester, great location for all the places we wanted to visit! Jen was a great host, made sure we had everything we needed, knew we were arriving at night so left the porch light on, always available if we needed her.

As always, Jen is a gracious hostess. Her rental is sparkling clean and has more than everything we need. It was the only place that we would even consider in this very tumultuous year! Thank you Jen!

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay. The place is really nice, clean and has everything you need. Short drive to Long Beach which was one of the very few offering non-resident parking. Jen was in touch with us and very helpful during our stay. I would definitely go back!

We come here year after year and always enjoy this place! The apartment is clean and very comfortable, we love having air conditioning for those hot summer days. The improvements that Jen has made to the guest space in the backyard are lovely. I really appreciate that this place is available for less than a week, unlike many other Gloucester rentals, thanks Jen!!

Everything was honestly perfect. Overly well stocked kitchen (pots, pans, dishes etc), towels (both beach and shower) and comfort galore. My only issue is that the pics show a fenced yard, and one side is NOT fenced. We were allowed to bring our small dog, and bc of the pics I assumed (as would anyone) the yard was fenced. Not a deal breaker and probably would use property qgain, but would have been nice to know.

We had a wonderful stay in this home in Lanesville. It is conveniently located no matter where we wanted to go. There was plenty of room to relax when we had downtime.

The place was nice, but a little small for my preference, but it was a clean and cozy place to stay. The owner easy to communicate with, and the location is a little bit away from downtown. 15 min drive or less to get to where you want to go.

We had a nice stay at Jen's place. She was very accommodating. The tidy apartment had two bedrooms with really comfortable beds which was great. Air conditioners kept the place cool. Really close to Plum Cove beach (under a mile) where there are great sunsets. It is about a 15 min. drive to Good Harbor. Closer proximity to downtown Rockport than Good Harbor. It was nice to be on Cape Ann again!

A cozy place to stay. Plenty of room for the 3 of us. Well equipped. Found out a former classmate used to live there , So it brought back many memories of growing up in Gloucester. Very nice stay.

This property worked out perfectly for me. I was visiting my brother and his family who were staying in Rockport, so it was just a short drive away. While not directly in town, it was nice to come back at the end of the day to such a nice quiet setting. Everything was very comfortable, and the unit came with everything I needed. It was very hot the weekend I was there, so the air-conditioning was great and much appreciated! Jennifer was a great host, and provided many personal touches to the apartment. I can't wait to plan a return trip!

Just a short walk to the rocky shore, gorgeous sunsets! The owner was very nice, left bottled water and snacks for us and had all the fans and AC turned on for our arrival. Place would be perfect if there was a usable deck off the back of the house. As it was, there was a staircase that lead to the owner’s deck which we could use to get to the good-sized yard. We were able to bring our dog which was great. All the linens were provided as were beach chairs and an umbrella.

Griffin's getaway had all we needed for a long weekend away. Clean and comfortable well appointed space, snacks and croissants from our host, fully stocked kitchen, and we got to have our therapy dog with us which meant the world. I would definitely stay again and recommend to others. If I made any improvement suggestions it might be to consider a new couch, the current one was a bit uncomfortable and low on the floor. Thank you, and we will see you again : )

A welcome oasis at the end of each jam-packed, sight-seeing day!

We spent 4 nights and the place worked out perfectly for our family of 4. Clean with plenty of room. We grilled a couple nights in the back yard and ate out a couple nights. Very central to several great beaches. We went to Wingaersheek, Good Harbor, and Crane Beach we would recommend all three. It is also very close to the Halibut Point State Park which is a beautiful spot on the ocean with an old quarry and trails for walking. There is no beach to swim there, but the kids loved the trails and walking on all of the rocks down by the ocean. A short drive and you are in Rockport with lots of nice shops and restaurants. We enjoyed visiting the Bearskin Neck area. Even if you want to go into Boston it is less than an hour drive or you can hop on the commuter rail in Rockport. We drove into the Museum Of Science (about 50 min drive) and took a Duckboat Tour in Boston. Jen was very nice and we will hopefully be back to visit again something.

Easy self check in and out. Stayed with our two kids. Beds are extremely comfortable and kitchen very well stocked. We didn't cook, but easily could have. Love the location, near Rockport and Gloucester. Walked to Lobster Pool (busy road not recommended with kids). Loved Lobsta Land (a few mins away near Gloucester) and Blue Lobster (Rockport). Simple, easy, homey rental. Thanks Jen!

This rental fit our needs perfectly. We didn't end up cooking at the apartment (we were too busy eating out at all the great local restaurants) but it was nice to have the option of a full kitchen if needed. The owner was very easy to work with and helped make sure that we had everything that we needed.

We had a great time staying in Lanesville at Griffin's Getaway. The apartment is extremely well stocked for a vacation rental. We had all the linens and towels we needed for our trip to swim at Good Harbor, plus plenty of glassware in the kitchen for the evenings. Jen is a great host, and was available to answer any questions. We also loved lounging in the big backyard. The beds are very comfortable as well. We definitely recommend Griffin's Getaway, it's our new favorite place to stay in Lanesville!

This was the perfect setting for us. It was clean, quiet and the beds were very comfortable, which is unusual and was a bonus! Jen made us feel right at home, thinking of everything we might need during our stay. We'll be back again!

What a great place! My family felt right at home. Beyond cozy! Jen was so sweet,. Very accommodating & offered her suggestions on good places to go! Will definitely be back & recommend this space!
