Location is great. Nice outdoor space.

The story begins a few days prior to our stay when the host stalked me on a professional networking website -- which I use for my business -- and contacted me there which made me feel very unsafe and was not professional at all. Of course this followed up with a message that threatens us with ridiculous fines like hundreds of dollars if we don't wash the towels in the laundry(!) and leave them clean to the next guests (never seen anything like this at anywhere I stayed in). He also made us buy our own trash bags for the weekend(!). Upon arrival, the hot water didn't work. I spent hours on the phone with the host and he had no idea how to fix it - just told me to wait. We ended up waiting and the hot water returned but then vanished and returned all throughout our stay - clearly a problem. The host had my number after the hot water incident and during our stay used it to solicit us to book not via vrbo next time (without the protection) - again not something professional. We stayed at the house 3 families - military veterans, top tier software engineers, Harvard PhD's. We left the house SPOTLESS CLEAN and even added additional laundry powder because the place ran out! We asked for late check out, host wanted more money. We asked really nice and he said we can take 3 more hours which we ended up not using, and fully checked out on time with a house that is 100% spotless clean. One week after we left the host started contacting me on text messages again making a ridiculous claim about a "missing item". We left everything as is and took nothing. There were other guests in the house as well as cleaners, for some reason the host kept non stop texting me on a Sunday night and ended up blaming us for the missing piece WITH NO PROOF. I am disputing the claim on vrbo and will get my money back, but I will never ever stay again in this property or with this host who made me feel insecure and unsafe. One star and even that is too much!

The location of this property is great, just a few steps from a beautiful beach and, overall, we had a great time. The property was also very clean upon our arrival. Both the main living floor and the upper level have large open areas and are very comfortable. The kitchen was also very well stocked for a rental. These two floors, however, really only have two private bedrooms and one of the bedrooms is right off the kitchen, not great for sleeping in. The upper level bedroom is huge and does have an additional small space with bunkbeds but there is no door in between for privacy. Two additional bedrooms are on the ground floor (basement) but this level does not have air conditioning which was not clear to me from the VRBO description of the property. Fans were available but prospective renters should be aware of the lack of air conditioning, esp. in the summer. The grill in the back yard was also basically unusable. The propane tank was empty upon our arrival and once we bought a new tank, the grates were in such poor condition that we never used it again. We also had an issue with the back door sticking. The first time this happened we could not get out of the rental unit so we called the manager. He replied promptly and told us to use more force with the door so he was definitely aware of the issue which should have been corrected. We loved the location but would not rent again.

We enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is well equipped.and the living room and dining room are very nice We thought the plastic covering on the dining room table was a “bit much.” Also, the rental was not inexpensive. We do not think we should have had to buy the garbage bags. The house is designed for families. If all seven of us had shown up we would have had problems with bedrooms . The little bedroom off the master is good for children but not so good for older people. However, we all enjoyed our stay. The location is very good.

The house is beautiful in a wonderful location. It is an easy drive to Gloucester or Rockport and you can see Long Beach from the house. Pete was extremely easy to work with. We had people from 5 different states and no one had a complaint. One of the family members liked the mattress in her room so much that she went home and ordered the exact same model!

House is great. Lots of spaces to relax and gather. We go with girlfriends every year and have been searching for the perfect house and finally found it

We celebrated our son's wedding on Cape Ann September 23, 2017. The location is just a short walk to the ocean for a lovely walk on the beach. The spacious house is beautiful inside with 3 bathrooms to accommodate us all on the big day! The groomsmen had lovely pix taken outside to the sound of waves crashing. Convenient location to everything. Thanks Pete!

Our large group that included 3 families had a great time at this home. The home was spacious and clean. Had everything to offer.The backyard and back porch area is quite comfortable and a great hangout for a backyard barbecue and happy hour !!!!Pete was great ---
