My family enjoyed our 3 night stay. The room was clean and the property manager(owners) were very pleasant to work with. They worked very quickly to fix an issue we had with being locked out of the place. Quiet little area and seemed very safe to stay with a family.

Great Find!
This spot was just what my daughter and I were hoping for on our very quick but enjoyable beach getaway. Well situated, clean, quiet -- we couldn't have asked for better. So glad to have found this as an option for visiting Good Harbour.

Decent place, privacy so so.
There was an overlap of my arrival and the departed. Unit wasn’t ready at said check in time. Owner friendly, after a very long drive I just wanted a shower and calm. Owner was spinning laundry in unit, came back in an hour and wanted to do her laundry? I said no. That was uncomfortable. Every conversation overhead can be heard very clearly. The parking is on a steep angle, not the easiest for unloading luggage etc. Multiple doors on entering for owners unit overhead. It worked for a quick few nights, it was clean and had all I needed. I personally didn’t feel I had my privacy.

Our 2nd stay here, certainly not the last! Don & Gabrielle Gropman are awesome hosts! Cozy & clean apartment (Note: No TV! Fantastic!) walking distance to downtown Gloucester, Stop-N-Shop grocery, 7-11, Charlie’s Place diner & Good Harbor Beach. Location is ideal for walkers, joggers, & serious seashore kitefliers! Cape Ann Glen T. Macleod YMCA is a mere 8-min. drive away for gym advocates & lap swimmers who have Y National Memberships.

Great cozy place to stay
Had a great weekend on Cape Ann. Location was great, very close to Gloucester and a short drive to other points like Rockport and Halibut Point State Park. Slept well with plenty of blankets available for a winter night. The kitchen had everything needed for a weekend stay with sink, mini fridge, and a hot plate. And Gabrielle was very nice and accommodating! Would recommend staying here!

Clean and comfortable, walkable location
The space was set up nicely for a short stay. Very clean and comfortable with a private entrance. We were not inclined to cook however did use the limited kitchen setup for making drinks. Room for storing cold beverages and the owner has a nice filter to use water from the tap - thank you! A longer stay would be difficult if you want to cook however I think minor cooking was possible. Located up on a hill so the walking gave you a bit of a workout, but it was a lovely neighborhood and we walked to breakfast, lunch, and dinner from there. Easy 5 min drive into "downtown" for more options.

My friend and I wanted to visit Salem for the first time for the October festival. I happened to find this listing and I am so glad we chose to stay here, even though it was about 30 minutes north of Salem. The town itself is so beautiful, especially the nearby beaches! The rental property was perfect for two people and was very cozy. We plan to stay here again in the future!

We stayed a couple of nights and enjoyed it. We had hoped to walk into town for meals, but the weather did not quite cooperate. It was a very quick drive which worked out fine. The place itself is small, but it was what we needed. The host was very responsive, which is appreciated.

Gloucester in August
The perfect spot to explore the North Shore. My husband and I were very comfortable at Gabrielle's and found the accommodations clean, spacious and in a nice neighborhood. Our first evening we walked to the Studio Restaurant and had a fabulous meal. The next day a great walk on the bay and more.
