WALK TO BEACH! Conveniently located! Beautifully updated!

Look no further! Enjoy being a guest at this stylish beach bungalow! It is the perfect vacation spot for you and your family and friends. It’s impeccably clean, inviting and ready for your stay!

Wake up from your new, firm, queen size bed early enough to catch the beautiful sunrise at Good Harbor beach! (Only a 5 minute walk away!) On your way back to the house, grab a coffee & danish at Cape Ann Coffees (just across the street) or head next-door for a full size breakfast at Charlie’s. Enjoy take out on the private outdoor patio or inside at the large kitchen island.

The brand new, stylish kitchen offers all the basics you’ll need. The island is large enough to host 6 comfortably and will likely be where you entertain when you’re not outside.

The home is tastefully decorated with warm, earthy tones and a relaxing feel. With a large bay window in the living room and oversized slider in the kitchen, it almost feels like you’re outside!

For all the beach lovers; we provide an umbrella, beach chairs, beach bag, towels, cooler and beach wagon. After a long day in the sun, treat yourself to a delicious ice cream from Ro’s Harbor Scoops just steps from the house! Then, rinse off in the private outdoor shower before dinner.

With Stop & Shop across the street and two more grocery stores nearby, you can cook up dinner in the kitchen or on the grille outside. If you’re too relaxed to cook, Gloucester center is only a five minute drive away and has an excellent selection of restaurants, bars & nightlife!

Unwind after dinner on the comfortable, sectional sofa. Close the curtains and stream your favorite show or movie on the 65” flatscreen TV before turning in after an ideal vacation day!

Bungalow Bliss!
This was our first time in the Cape Ann area, and we sure did choose wisely on renting this home. The owners did a phenomenal job remodeling this home. It is extremely well appointed, and the attention to details was great. It really was a 5 minute walk to Good Harbor Beach where we took some amazing pics including a spectacular sunrise. The home was convenient to everything we wanted to do and all the restaurants. We absolutely will stay here again, and think you should too.

Cozy home near the beach
Well equipped with everything you need for a home away from home. Plenty of space for my husband, tween son and me. Clean, new, and very good location. Christine was very welcoming and responsive. Only thing to be aware of is the home sits on a busy street and the windows do not keep out the road noise. Despite the white noise machines, cars and trucks passing by were very loud. If you're a light sleeper, beware.

Everything you need and more
This little house was stunning with the decor and had everything you could need, and plenty of it. Plenty of dishes, more than enough linens including extra blankets for lounging. Having a washer/dryer available with the detergent AND stain remover spray was a plus when my son fell into a muddy puddle with his WHITE hoodie on. Lifesaver. Beds were oh so comfortable after a busy day and everything was spotless. Most hotels aren’t even this clean. We loved being nearby the 7Eleven and coffee shop too. A welcome note with snacks on the counter was a lovely and thoughtful addition to make it personal and special.

Fantastic stay, lovely place
This property is just beautiful. Newly updated with lots of brilliant extra touches (the board games, for example, which were a life saver on a very wet day!, the outside shower, the grill), extremely clean, and very handy for the beach and the other attractions of Gloucester. Our communication with the Harringtons was flawless. We really enjoyed our stay.

The Bungalow is the perfect home for beach, coffee, dining, ice cream and a grocery store all within walking distance. The Gloucester waterfront and quaint Rockport shops are just a short drive away. This home is immaculate, beautifully designed and decorated. The kitchen is a dream. Christine and Mike are attentive hosts and have thought of everything you need to make your stay that much more comfortable. The private patio area and outdoor shower are just icing on the cake!

A "must stay" for your getaway bucket list!
This location easily gets "6 stars" - that is, if we are allowed to go over 5! This location is even better than described in Vrbo. The bungalow is beautifully decorated, very clean, roomy, kitchen is well stocked with all cooking necessities, walking distance to the beach, close to food amenities, quick drives to neighboring towns - and both Christine and Mike are quick to respond throughout the entire process. If you are looking to spend some time in the Gloucester/Cape Ann/Newburyport area - this house and location is a must see...

Summer Getaway
Fantastic experience from start to finish! Beautiful, comfortable home, sparkling clean, a thoughtful and generous gift basket, attention to detail with everything we needed made this a wonderful experience. Practical extras like an outdoor shower, anti-mosquito misters, beach equipment, and plenty of towels made it a delight for our family. With the beach in easy walking distance even for our grandkids, and a comfortable and private backyard, our whole stay was memorable and relaxing. We are looking forward to returning soon!

Sisters Getaway
My sisters and I go away once a year and are quite fussy about the places we stay. This lovely, immaculate, beautifully decorated and renovated 2 bedroom home did not disappoint. The beds were very comfortable (really important at our age :-) and even the couch was a pleasure. It even had a half bath which comes in very handy with three people. Absolutley loved the kitchen which provided much more than we expected and the patio on the back was a little oasis. We walked to Good Harbor Beach, Charlies for Lunch, Scoops for dessert and the grocery store was also in walking distance. If we return to Glocester in the future we know exactly where we want to stay. Thank you for providing such a wonderful home.

My family and I enjoyed our Thanksgiving holiday in a beautifully updated bungalow just a short walk to the ocean. Christine and Mike were excellent hosts. The house was sparkling clean and they thought of everything to make the stay easy and enjoyable. From the treats & wine greeting us in the fabulous, fully equipped kitchen, to quality bath towels and bedding, and all the little touches made our stay all the more special. We were able to walk to beach and beyond. We had fun exploring the neighborhoods and coastline of Gloucester and it's a quick drive to the Center. Shops, restaurant and coffee nearby.
