Lovely, quiet get away
My friends and I had a lovely time at the house. It was quiet, sunny, and a nice break. It was nice to be close to options, but still quite secluded. We went for runs each morning, and enjoyed soaking up the warmth in the sunroom/patio area.

Wonderful Find in a Great Location!
We stayed for a quick trip to Mass. and wanted something nearby lots of good areas. We hadn’t stayed in Gloucester before but LOVED it, and it was easy to get to Salem and Rockport! The host was friendly and helpful and responded to us quickly! The house was very clean and perfect for our trip. We loved the charm and all the furniture was comfortable. We are already talking about wanting to go back!

Lovely February Getaway
We spent a wonderful week in this lovely home. Property was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Beds and furniture were very comfortable. Daily walks to the beach and UMass Marine Station with our pooch were enjoyable. Host was not only responsive, but proactive. Definitely recommend!

Lovely stay
Beautiful area right near the cove which was great for our dog and us.. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable, linens were soft, and since our visit was during the wintertime, we were very happy that the house was well heated.

Lovely stay
We had a lovely stay with our two dogs. The property was as described and the host was very responsive and generous in their interactions with us. The home was quaint and cozy and provided us with a lovely location to spend Thanksgiving together. The beach is a five minute walk from the home and lovely even in the off season.

Lovely New England Cottage
Clean and cozy cottage, typical of renovated 1900’s era homes. While there were a few “glitches”, Christine addressed them immediately. The photo of the upstairs bathroom does not really do it justice. It is a spacious bathroom with a lovely antique vanity. Shower worked for me - but I am on the short side. Would definitely stay again!

Very comfortable and warming. A couple of small obstacles but nothing our host Christine could not handle. Very happy with the accommodations and location. Wishing we could have stayed longer!

Great location
Property was as advertised, great location and close to everything we wanted to do, far enough out that you get the out of town experience.
