This is the perfect location, between Cape Ann’s two best beaches. Walkable each way. The host and hostess were friendly, thoughtful, responsive, and accommodating. It looks like they had fun decorating the place! Modern and tasteful. We enjoyed evenings at the firepit on the fantastic backyard patio.

We had a wonderful time! House was very clean and stocked with everything we could possibly need!! Jim and Joann were so accommodating and kind!! Quick walk to both beaches and food/ice cream right next door made life easy. Highly recommend this property!

We had such an awesome stay. The house had anything you could possibly need. It was super clean. The hosts were so incredibly friendly and helpful! The kids had a great time roaming the backyard and they loved the upstairs loft! The walk to the beach was easy. It’s very close to the grocery store and is steps away from a pizza/subs/ice cream place (highly recommend the lobster rolls too!). The only negative to the stay is that I wouldn’t say the house is toddler-proof. So we spent a lot of time wrangling our 3 year old to keep him from breaking things. I definitely wouldn’t take away any stars though. It was an absolutely wonderful place to stay!

We have stayed at more than 12 different houses over the years and Between 2 Beaches was by far better than all of those combined!!! It was a perfect location and super clean and the hosts provided everything you would need!!! Thank you again Jim and Joanne!! The kids were so excited to have presents waiting for them!! The adults too!!! We will be back for sure!!!

This property was perfect for our moms and daughters (10 of us) week trip to Cape Ann. First, I can not say enough about our stay at this property. Location was amazing between Long Beach, Rockport and Good Harbor Beach, Gloucester. An ice cream/pizza restaurant just steps from our door. The property has everything you need and could possibly want for use at the house and at the beach. It truly feels like a home away from home. VERY CLEAN!! Kitchen has every appliance, utensil, dish and more. Bedrooms/loft and bathrooms are aesthetically pleasing, clean and roomy. Beds are very comfortable! Loved all the decor and special touches put into interior from the first step into the property up through the loft! There were helpful notes to help guide you through anything you use in and out of the property as well as advice and information regarding the area...including coupons! The landscaping in the back of the property was very inviting. The owners definitely put an effort in using the natural terrain with their landscaping ideas! Parking was convenient, especially for the number of cars we had. The owners were outside helping us as we drove in! Jim and Joanne were perfect hosts...on top of every question, welcoming and gracious. We all want to thank them for making our trip amazing! We wouldn't change a thing, NOT ONE COMPLAINT !! Thank you Between 2 Beaches!!

All I can say is WOW! Not only is this property gorgeous, but Jim and Joanne are wonderful hosts! They went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was great. The kitchen comes stocked (spices and meal add-ons included) and they provide so much for their guests to use. They provide sheets and towels for all guests (beach towels included) and have beach accessories to use as well (umbrella, chairs, toys, wagon, cart, and cooler). This house has been the most well equipped out of any vacation rental I have stayed at. Jim and Joanne, thank you for being great hosts. The kids and the adults enjoyed all of the extra surprises that you left for us! I’m so glad that we decided to stay at Between2Beaches and we will definitely consider staying here again!

Such a wonderful fully stocked home in the most perfect location! Right Between 2 Beaches, easy walking distance to both with a beach wagon full of chairs and boogie boards! We had such a wonderful time staying for the second time here! Love the town of Gloucester, it’s turned into our home away from home! Thank you so much once again, we will definitely be back!

We came to “between 2 beaches“ to enjoy the last week of summer at the beach and celebrate a birthday. Joanne and Jim are thoughtful hosts and made us feel very much at home in their comfortable rental. They provided beach towels, beacH chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards — everyone we needed for enjoying Good Harbor Beach. Because of cOVID-19 we cooked all our dinners at the house and ate in the beautiful backyard as often as possible. Joanne arranged a fabulous birthday cake for our last meal. My grandsons loved their third floor suite and want to return. We had a memorable stay!

Our stay at between 2 beaches was great! Jim & Joanne are gracious hosts and went out of their way to make sure we had everything needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The house is positioned perfectly and had all amenities imaginable. Definitely looking forward to another stay. Thank you

Our family had a fabulous time at this house. The location was great, the house beautifully decorated and the weather was perfect. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

We had a wonderful family vacation!! The property is beautiful! Joanne and Jim are wonderful hosts.

Great property for family and friends, well located to beach and ice cream/pizza shop. Would recommend.

We stayed for two weeks (booked separately), so please look at my other review for all the details on how amazing this place and its owners are! I would love to keep it to myself, but Joanne and Jim are such lovely people and professional hosts, they deserve all the success possible!

Joanne and Jim are the most thoughtful and generous hosts we have ever encountered in our 10+ years of renting in Cape Ann (across Annisquam, Gloucester and Rockport). First, they have thought of EVERYTHING you might need, making sure you can enjoy this delightful region without a care in the world and creating more than a home away from home with between2beaches. Second, they struck the perfect mix of availability and privacy. They provided superb advice on activities and where to find certain particular items we were looking for, treated us repeatedly to delights, including homemade pesto. And when there was a slight issue with the washing machine, they were there within minutes to fix it. They managed to be at once very available but also very discreet, managing this incredibly delicate balance deftly. And then there was the swag (beach bags!) and the featured art that you can purchase. I could go on and on. As a veteran home renter, I thought I had seen it all and knew what to expect, but Joanne and Jim far exceeded our expectations.

This house was a super place to stay. We had ten people (6 adults, 4 kids) and it fit us like a glove. The only problem was the discussion of which beach to go to. Two of Cape Ann's best beaches are within easy walking distance. Besides the beaches, Between two Beaches is smack on the border of two fascinating towns, happenin' Gloucester and charming Rockport, just waiting to be explored. The house itself is ideal. The kitchen is well outfitted. There are 2 1/2 baths and a water a dryer. The layout of the kitchen and the great room is convenient and airy. There is internet, two TVs, and lots of books for all ages, as well as a supply of lush beach towels and tote bags, beach chairs, boogie boards, and a beach cart. The decor is imaginative and beach-themed. Jim and Joanne, the landlords, are friendly, helpful, and informative (in case you are new to the area. They left an assortment of goodies for us on arrival--much appreciated! All of us agreed this is the place we want to come back to!

We had a great time! We would love to stay here again in the future. The owners were super helpful and very nice people.

This home has it all! The owners have thought of every detail and put love in to every inch of this place! Loved the location! We were close to everything! We could easily walk to 2 different beautiful beaches with the help of the supplied buggy they provided. Easy to carry beach chairs and soft fluffy beach towels made our days at the beaches amazing! Their suggestions on things to see and places to eat were spot on! Amazing food and beautiful sights!! Really enjoyed the 4th of July festivities between Gloucester and Rockport!! The back patio/yard was sweet and comfortable with tons of seating and a hammock area for super chill time! They truly thought of every comfort!! The beds were the best part! Brand new mattresses in every room and a perfect nights rest every night of our stay! We will definitely be back to the charming town of Gloucester and will stay at “between two beaches” every time! Thank you for our best family vacation yet!! See you next year!
