A great location with only a 10-minute walk to Good Harbor beach. The rental was extremely clean and much bigger than expected. We all had a great time in Gloucester at our Seaside Escape. We hope to be back next season.

Awesome house close to the beach

This house is the perfect location - close to the beach and downtown Gloucester. Nice, quiet area and the house is clean and very cute. Dawn was super nice and we would definitely stay here again!

Definitely recommend!

Very clean when we arrived! Excellent location - close to everything but very quiet. We travelled with my 85 year old mother so single floor living was a plus! The house had everything we needed in the kitchen and the beach chairs and umbrella were appreciated.

Comfort and Kindness

Our experience was beyond exceptional. The property was clean, comfortable, and exquisitely decorated. We felt like we were enjoying time at our own home because the atmosphere of the house was so inviting. The owner, Dawn, is absolutely wonderful. Not only was she exceptionally kind and accommodating, she helped us plan our day trip to Salem and even recommended a great place for dinner in Gloucester. We'll be renting from Dawn for the foreseeable future.

House was easy to find. The walk to the beach is 0.5 mile, easy stroll via sidewalks. The house was clean and fully stocked with the essentials. Kitchen is well equipped. Wash and dryer works great. Hot water is plenty. Cozy patio on the side of the house. Our only recommendation would be for black out curtains in the spare bedroom. There is a widow right behind the spare bedroom window. Every time someone walks into that room, which happened all through the night, the light would shine into the bedroom

We had an amazing end of summer vacation at this adorable house. The proximity to Good Harbour Beach is awesome. It’s a 2 minute drive or about 10 minute walk. You can drop off your friends/family at the foot bridge and walk back to drop off the car and then meet everyone at the beach…an easy walk. The house is adorable inside and out and it had everything for the beach, beach buggy, chairs and towels. AND the awesome outside shower can’t be beat. it was lovely to sit outside with our cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Our host was marvelous and very responsive to all my questions. She happened to be around and we met her. She went out of her way to even drive us to the beach one day. The kitchen is well equipped which is amazing. It’s a very comfortable home for 4 friends or small family. It has a queen size bed in larger BR and a full with trundle in the 2nd BR. The 4 of us shared the lovely bathroom, the dining room sits 6 people at the table and 2 more seats at the counter. The living room is large but cozy with a large tv and plenty of room for some game playing. Dawn did a great job remodeling and decorating the house. You can’t go wrong with this house and it’s so private in a cul-de-sac. Looking forward to our next stay.
