We loved Gaby's place! It is really roomy and is essentially two units available to rent as one. It is very walkable to downtown and across the street from Stage Fort Park. We will definitely come back!

Thanksgiving in Gloucester

The house was beautiful. It was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well-equipped. We were able to cook a little Thanksgiving dinner. The views in the front and back of the house were amazing. We also enjoyed the sunroom in the front of the house and the proximity to beaches and walking trails.

Gorgeous View and House

Let me tell you, the pictures don't do it justice! The views are phenomenal! It makes you feel right at home. If there was anything we needed or had questions, Gaby was quick to respond. I would recommend staying here and if we go back to that area, we would want to book with her again!!

Beautiful views!

We had a lovely stay! The house is a 15 min walk into town, and also right across the street from a seaside trail. You don’t really need to drive anywhere, which was very nice since parking in town is difficult and the streets are narrow. The house was very clean, had an awesome front porch to relax on, and we loved the white noise machines in every bedroom! Also, random, but the towels were very nice and soft. Definitely recommend for large groups/families!

It was everything we expected from the photos and description. A great old house with all its quirks, and wonderful decor to set the mood.You can’t go wrong with this property; it’s so close to everything - renting the whole house was great for our group… which was my parents (in their 70s and handicap), my brothers family and my husband and I (all with littles ages 1,2,3 &4). The stairs can get tricky if they are under 2, but was easily managed. We appreciated our hosts and they were quick to help. Thanks again for a great vacation!

Family Time in Beautifuk Location

Gabriela was a wonderful host. Very responsive. Access to the home was straightforward and the location across from the ocean was lovely for walks to dinner, ice cream and parks. We did a whale watch, visited Rocky Neck Artist Colony, Good Harbour Beach and the Maritime Museum - we felt close to it all. We rented the entire house which was impeccably clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. Beds were comfortable and the backyard was such a little retreat.

Excellent A+++

Loves our stay. From check-in to check-out all went super smooth. The house is very large and location was superb. Fiesta weekend so it was an easy 5-7minute walk to the fiesta festivities. Can’t beat that. Off street parking made everything easy as well. Gaby was super friendly and very helpful. 100% will come back again

Awesome location!

We just returned from a long weekend at this perfect house! We rented both units and my kids came with their children and the space was great. The view and location are great and it is a great area to walk and look at the harbor. The host was great and very responsive. The only issue is that the drawbridge goes up quite frequently for the boats and the traffic can back up for a while. The kids loved watching it go up and down though!

Gabby and Corey were the perfect hosts!

My husband and I went to Gloucester for an early 40th birthday. Not only was the property gorgeous and immaculate, Gabby welcomed us with a little birthday treat once we entered the house! The area is absolutely breathtaking with lots to do very close to the house. All of the recommendations left for us in the book were spot on! Gabby responded so quickly with every question we had. We will definitely be back!
