Enjoyed staying here. Short drive to Salem. Suited us perfectly as 2 friends traveling together. We each had our own rooms which are on opposite ends of the house. Quiet safe neighborhood. We are at The James, able to walk there easily. Host was awesome.

It was all rather perfect and quite frankly, well above the expectation. Not that the expectation was low but this facility was so much higher. The location was perfect and accessible to the sites we wanted to see. The host was most gracious and willing to assist in any way.

My daughter and I were in town for my son’s wedding and we only stayed two nights, but I cannot say enough positive things about the location about BreeAnn about the accommodations. Everything was top notch. The best Vrbo experience I have had.

Super clean and spacious!

We really enjoyed our stay in Essex and Bree and Dan were great hosts. The apartment is really large, with enough room for us to spread out. We enjoyed eating on the patio outside, the cookware was the best of any VRBO we’ve stayed at, and once we learned the trick- the shower pressure was amazing too! Gloucester, Salem and Boston are easy to get to, and there were great restaurants and a brewery in easy walking distance. Bree and Dan welcomed us as guests.

It was great! Location was perfect and walkable to many restaurants. The apartment was very comfortable and the owners were so nice and great to deal with. The little touches they did were perfect like coffee, cream for coffee, bottled water and snacks. And odds and ends we might have forgotten like toothpaste, soap etc. they even had a binder of local restaurants and things, to check out.

Alyssa’s Birthday weekend

We came in for my friend’a birthday and head to Salem during the day. We found this adorable and perfect New England style home right on the edge of the river. Every morning was a pretty view of the water and marina. Cute backyard, clean and comfortable on the inside, with plenty of room for all 4 of us. We had a really nice time at River’s Edge and want to come back soon! We loved that it’s a walk to the restaurants in town as well!

Fun with Friends

Very close to Salem. We thought the town was very Quaint and felt that this was a town rich in history. The house had a great view of the shipyard Muesum and water. The hosts were wonderful and answered all our questions. Loved the touch of coffee and half and half, M&M's and water in the refrigerator..
