About this property

Ocean and Woods! Best of both seaside delights in Gloucester!

If you are a nature lover, you'll love our location. 200 yards or so in either direction will lead you to treasured habitats on foot. You can choose a secluded salt/freshwater inlet where you can launch a kayak, paddleboard, or jump in for a swim, or you can choose to explore the maze of trails in Ravenswood Park on foot or by bike (gorgeous fall leaf peeping). Up for a picnic, then pack one up and enjoy the sea breeze at Stage Fort Park, a mile down the road. When nightlife calls, whether be it fine dining or eating in the rough, the city of Gloucester or the town of Essex awaits your visit. Ready for the big beaches, get your towels and sand chairs (we have both for you to use) to head for Good Harbor or Wingersheek Beach. Singing Beach in Manchester-By-The-Sea is easily reached within 10 minutes by following the route we live on, Rt 127. Two train stations are close by for a day trip to Salem, MA or to Boston.

We strive to help you make your trip a memorable one by helping you along the way. At this time, we can offer you a king size bed setup in the 'Blue Room' as the bedframes are designed to be able to assemble together. Please let us know in advance. Twin XL beds are offered in the 'Blue Room' and 'yellow' room. Please ask for our 'Easy Trip Stuff' list which is s compilation of items avail for your use. You won't have to pack those huge beach towels, we've got you covered!

We offer a newly renovated 1300 sq ft 2nd floor unit which features a large vaulted kitchen that opens up to a spacious dining and living room area. The unit has a nice flow: open kitchen to living room, long hallway leads to separate bedrooms off to each side, bathroom access from hallway and blue bedroom, separate private deck and an additional 'reading' room. A 55" smart flatscreen tv offers you the ability to hook up to your Internet, cable tv or you can relax to enjoy iheart radio. Search for your favorite music or maybe you'll like my favorites: Nat King Cole radio, Easy Jazz, and Benny Goodman Greats.

Our cozy bedrooms feature 2 twin XL beds each with new 10" memory foam mattresses to give you a good night's sleep - AC is avail in every room or if you prefer, we have plenty of fans. The master bedroom leads to a spacious private roof top deck that everyone can share. Our bathroom is large and features accessories you may need such as that iron and ironing board to smooth out travel wrinkles. Did forget your toothpaste, sunscreen, or other small cosmetic staple, we probably have it avail. Tired and want some time alone, our converted Victorian style sleeping porch will offer you an oversized chair with ottoman for quiet reading or dozing off. If there is a member of your party who snores, we can setup a makeshift bed in this room, AC avail in here as well.

By staying at our place, you'll save money and you can finally travel light. How? We live here and we are available to give lots of information about local restaurants, events, sightseeing venues, and more. No need to pack that heavy cooler, or try to stuff beach chairs in the car. If you flew in, you'll have the necessary beach items available to expand your adventures. My wife and I are easy going and our place is known for our Freshwater cove friends to stop by our firepit. You're welcome to join us. People describe us as being generous, friendly and helpful. We hope you'll consider us for you stay here in Freshwater Cove. The pictures of Freshwater Cove are taken by walking down our little dirt lane, This is what is actually here and not across town, etc.

Beautiful/spacious/accomidating
What a wonderful stay we had at this Vrbo. I was spacious and the bathroom is roomy. There is a beautiful park to hike a small distance away (ravenwoods) and going the other way is a lovely park to walk in that takes you by the water and leads to some beautiful views. The hosts were accommodating and very responsive. Also had great insight to the area and things to do or see. I would def stay here today.

Spooky Season in New England
My husband and I stayed at this charming home with our two daughters, ages 20 & 17. We came to kick off spooky season in Salem (which was highly entertaining) and ended up falling in love with this quaint little seaside town! We arrived pretty late for check in but Alicia was there to greet us with Draco, her puppy. She took us up to the apartment to show us around and answer any questions that we may have had. The apartment was clean and inviting. I could tell how much time and effort Alicia and Leland put into decorating the space with the room rugs, wall art, bedding and decor pieces. It was so pleasant to wake up in the morning and have my coffee on the roof top deck. Alicia thought of everything that anyone could need while traveling as the bathroom and kitchen were stocked. She called me ahead of time to ask what my preferences were for breakfast items and coffee creamer. I really appreciated this since my 17 year old and myself are allergic to dairy. Alicia went out of her way to purchase both almond milk and oat milk for us along with dairy free yogurt. This was very thoughtful and very much appreciated. With most VRBO homes, you get a pin number for a door keypad, but not with this home. Alicia and Leland are warm and welcoming with tons of knowledge and wonderful suggestions for visiting the area. Our favorite place to eat was the Causeway, huge portions and excellent food. I'm so glad Alicia suggested we try it. Thank you for having us!

Excellent Getaway
Alicia and Leland are absolutely amazing hosts! They both made us feel at home away from home. Whatever we wanted, they were super attentive to our needs. Alicia showed Gitty the best places to paint and pointed me to excellent hiking destinations. Sitting around the fire in the evening with Leland and friends drinking a beer or glass of wine was the most relaxing way to end a day. I could rave about how ideal this property is or how Alicia and Leland run it, but you need to experience this piece of paradise for yourselves to understand. Thank you both for the pleasure of feeling at home away from home!

About the host

Hosted by Lee

Host profile image
I've worked for a worldwide corporation for many years. My wife
has spent the major portion of her career in the financing industry. We have many hobbies; firepit time, classic car shows, beekeeping, beach activities, gardening, and hiking through Ravenswood.

Why they chose this property

We're located apart from the daily hustle and bustle of some of the more built up mixed use areas of Gloucester. Bedrooms are spacious and do not feature 'day beds', air mattresses, or cots. A bedroom here is a bedroom and not part of the living room. Private deck gives you relax time without being watched by another 'condo' or close by neighbor.

What makes this property unique

Freshwater Cove is a quiet inlet which looks out to Cressy Beach and Gloucester Harbor. No waiting to launch your sea vessel here. Kayaks can be Launch at any time. Larger boats Over 7 feet may have to wait for tide to come in a bit. Individual floats can be used anytime.
