The house was very clean and comfortable. They could use a bench or chair in one of the guest rooms to put your suitcase on and also some table reading lamps next to the bed. Also sone ice cube trays for the freezer. Great location. Very easy to get to and check in was perfect.

Had a wedding in Gloucester. Super accessible to downtown. Had its own quiet charm to it. Had your own space with a beautiful kitchen and two great bedrooms. Laundry everything i needed. If you are a single like me looking for a good place to stay , this is your spot. I really enjoyed it and it was super clean and updated on the inside. I will be staying here again when I come back to visit

Came up for a wedding in Gloucester, so Essex was a perfect place to stay. The whole unit was very clean and spacious. Had a full kitchen and full size fridge which was very helpful. Check-in was very easy and check out too. The unit is connected to another unit so you could hear others but nothing out of the ordinary! Enjoyed our stay and would stay here again if back in the area!

Our stay was wonderful The rooms were spotless. I would highly recommend the place. The only issue was a glitch trying to get in to the place. We called tech support and they provided the phone number to the owner, she called us after a bit and was very apologetic about the mix-up with the entrance to the VRBO. It had all the comforts of home.
