About this property

Classic charmer near the coast with with a firepit, outdoor shower, & beach gear

Escape to this tranquil Gloucester gem on your next getaway! Nearby, you'll love having easy access to Bass Rocks Golf and Tennis Club, Good Harbor Beach, Rocky Neck, Gloucester Harbor, and the infamous Back Shore. Delicious, fresh seafood, and just as wonderful shops can all be indulged in - downtown. And to make your days at the beach even better, appreciate the amenities this home offers to guests. These include; a beach cart, four beach chairs, a cooler, and outdoor games.

After a day full of sun, sand, and surf, spend time on the home's front deck and unwind. Or, rinse off in the outdoor shower. When you're ready to head in, you'll instantly take notice of the spacious main living area. Adorned with ample seating, a large TV, and charming coastal-themed decor, the ambiance of this room is inviting and cozy! Relax by the electric fireplace and curl up with a good book. In the nearby full kitchen, utilize the stainless steel appliances and plentiful meal prep space when you can resist dining out on the town. Homemade meals or takeout can be enjoyed at the dining table, mini breakfast bar, or alfresco.

In each of the bedrooms, you'll love their bright and homey feel. Settle in and make the space your own as the sunlight pours in from the home's many windows.

Come nightfall, enjoy more of that balmy Massachusetts air from the comfort of the home's enclosed yard, wraparound deck, or gathered around the firepit. Mix in a barbecued meal, prepared on the private gas grill, and you're sure to craft a memorable night!

Charming house. Had some quirks because it’s older but nothing worth mentioning. The only downside is I found communication with the owner to be difficult. Once we arrived I had some questions and I reached out to the contact information but did not receive anything. Also as a small side note, the sent the gardener to cut the lawn at 8am on a day we were staying there… I just wish they would’ve at least avoided the early hours

Three couples stayed there because we were in town for a wedding. Plenty of sitting area, dining room and dinette area, and the kitchen is nice. One day we went into Boston, 2 days, we explored Gloucester and Rockport. We also walked down to the beach everyday.

Comfortable and cozy cottage type accomodations in a cute neighborhood close to everything. The 10 minute walk to beautiful Good Harbor Beach is lovely. Also, 5 minute walk to the Lobster for a most delicious lobster roll so much fun! Everything was as described, great rental for 3 couples or a family.

Wonderful weekend in Glouster!

We loved our weekend away - the place was just as described and was exceptionally clean. We enjoyed the short 15 minute walk to the beach and the cart, chairs and boogie boards made it all easy and fun. The house was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Thank you so much and hope to visit again!

Cozy!

This was a great property and a great location for our visit. Everything was cozy and comfortable. The stairs were a bit to navigate as they were narrow and steep but overall we loved it!
