We so enjoyed our week stay at the Folly Cove cottage. It was comfortable, convenient and--what we especially appreciated--quiet. Gloucester is my hometown, so I know that peace and quiet are sometimes hard to find on Cape Ann in the summer. Communication with hosts Rebekah, Mary and Peter was a pleasure.

Great Cottage!

My wife and I stayed here back in early June and it was a wonderful experience! The cottage was very cozy and we loved the ladder leading up to the loft! There was plenty to do in the local area and the ocean (as well as a very nice seaside park!) is just minutes away. The cottage is not far from the last stop for one of the commuter trains going into Boston and Salem. It was very easy going into the city! The area was very charming and there were plenty of local restaurants nearby. Would very much stay again next time we are up in the area!

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and found lots of things to do and enjoy nearby. We hope to have you at the cottage again sometime. Thanks so much! Rebekah

a hideaway amid the greenery

Quiet dead-end street that was beautiful, casual, lush old-time Gloucester. Separate small cottage, with big house nearby and owners on hand. Good privacy for two separate sleeping areas. Furnished with lots of helpful things, and plenty of space to lay "stuff" out. Room air conditioners kept the air cool during a terribly hot week. Very friendly and helpful owner nearby. Nice private deck to enjoy breakfast outside. I would definitely go again. Only drawback was two steps down to the bathroom, so you need to be aware of that.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 March 2020
Thanks for pointing out the steps down into the bathroom. This detail is not noted in our descriptions of the cottage so we'll be sure to make folks aware of that in the future! I love your eloquent description of the neighborhood -- perfect! So glad you had an enjoyable time and managed to stay cool in the heat wave!

Just as described

This little cottage was perfect. We loved the breezes at night, and spent a very nice afternoon on the deck drinking iced tea in the sunshine. And all the birds! this place was such a retreat. Other than the birds, the neighborhood was very quiet. Fireflies at night, a pretty garden to look at, a nice cemetery just one block away, Mary & Herb were right there for questions, we will definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely time near the ocean

This little cottage was our cozy home base for a few days of R&R near the ocean. The owners were very thoughtful in outfitting the cottage, and were available if we had a question. We recommend getting out to the beach to see a sunrise and taking advantage of the fresh local seafood. Thank you for a wonderful time away!
Response from VrboOwner on 20 March 2020
Thanks for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay, saw some sunrises and got some good food! Nothing like FRESH seafood! We hope you'll stay with us again sometime. Rebekah

Perfect Tiny House in the Best Place on Earth

We love Gloucester and we love this little house. Clean, lovely, light filled, and a two minute walk to Folly Cove. Private little deck for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Owners live on property and you can tell it was designed with love.

Thanks Mariann for your great review! We loved having you at the cottage and hope you'll come again (Lucy too)! The deck is new so I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Thanks again, Rebekah

The best we could have asked for

This beautiful cottage was a dream come true. A great visit to beautiful Rockport and surrounding areas, very comfortable, cozy, rustic but spotless, and so much character! I almost don't want to tell people about it because I want to make sure it's available when I book again. We were a family of 4 and our dog and it was perfect!!!! Our kids can't wait to come back and we went scuba diving walking distance away! The family renting their cottage were so kind too. A really great place that we all highly recommend!

Cozy winter cottage stay!

Great visit as always! Perfect (small) taste of winter. Had a great time sledding and made a lovely snow girl with hydrangea hair. Lots of whistling wind in the loft. And with no leaves on the trees - a slice of oceanview….Cozy Cozy Cozy!

Peaceful

This was our first time on Cape Ann and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The weather was perfect so we spent a fair amount of time out on the recently constructed deck. The gardens were beautiful and in bloom. Owners were friendly and helpful. Loved dinner at the Lobster Pool. Our daughter goes to college in Wenham, so we'll probably have more excuses for a visit.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 March 2020
So glad to hear you had good weather and enjoyed the deck! We think it's a wonderful addition to the Cottage -- a lovely little spot of privacy! No visit to Cape Ann is complete without a Lobster Pool dinner! Add to that an evening sunset over Folly Cove, then a walk up to Halibut Point to enjoy the moonrise over the quarry for a perfect day!
