This is a lovely home that is well maintained with beautiful landscaping. Everything was as advertised. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. We spent time on the large deck enjoying the summer weather. We would stay here again and recommend to our friends.

This spotless house was spacious, with plenty of room for our 3 generations to spread out. The host supplied everything we needed, including a well-equipped kitchen, plenty of linens and more. There was plenty of outdoor space - a large deck, a patio and two large grassed areas and there were lots of toys and games to enjoy outdoors. It was a peaceful setting with beautiful mature landscaping and lots of privacy. Everything exceeded our expectations!

The house was awesome. It was very clean and met our needs. The gardens were beautiful. The host, Gary, was very good with responding to our questions and giving us information about restaurants and sightseeing attractions. I would recommend this house. Very nice!

Exactly what we needed

This property was perfect for our stay, well-suited for my family which included 2 small children. The kitchen was well-equipped and everyone enjoyed playing in the back yard. The location was quiet, and yet close to where we wanted to be. Thank you!

Loved this property. I'm originally from Gloucester and we took 2 couples from Florida with us to stay here. I'm really fussy about where I stay and I have to say this property was fabulous. It is one of the best places we have stayed at and was very well equipped with more than we needed. I know this home is well loved and that the family stays here as well. Location is perfect for a beautiful walk and access to Gloucester beaches are not too far. Only thing missing is a fire pit although I understand why ad some feel it could be a liability.Hope to stay here again!

Comfortable home with beautiful grounds

My husband and I stayed here with our adult son and daughter for three days to attend a cousin's wedding in Salem. The home was very comfortable, stocked with everything we needed, including Twister and tons of other games, and when we'd sit on the upstairs deck it felt like we were relaxing among the treetops. The beautifully landscaped grounds had massive rocks, two separate grassy areas, a koi pond, and lots of flowers.

Celebrating 50th Birthday

We were very pleasantly surprised how perfect the Magnolia-by-the-Sea house was for our two families. The 4 adults upstairs and the 2 teenage boys downstairs. The house was in a great location. Traveled to Boston, Salem and enjoyed Gloucester. Walking distance to restaurants, the ocean and the boardwalk. Everything was terrific. House was clean, lots of amenities (including things like tissues and real soap), comfortable beds, lots of towels and kitchen fully equipped. It was perfect for our family birthday celebration and thank the owner for his quick responses, suggestions what to do and follow up. We hope to be back in the future.

Delightful Family Vacation!

We absolutely loved our stay in Magnolia! We were so excited just pulling up to see how lovely the gardens were, and then when we went inside we were thrilled to see that the photos didn't do the house justice - it's even nicer than we expected! Perfectly clean, it had just about anything we could think to use in the kitchen (except spices, but that's no big deal), and plenty of towels & beach chairs, boogie boards and tons of fun sports equipment for my nephews to enjoy. My parents declared it the best VRBO we've stayed in so far! Rick was a great host - excellent communication and very helpful. The guide left at the house was also really helpful - especially with regard to the local beach as it's a little trickier to use than just walking down to it. The local restaurants in walking distance were great! We ate down the street half the nights we were there, and a couple of breakfasts too. And it was so nice to take a walk down to the pier every night for the sunset. We might have been a little crowded if all 9 of us had come, but as it was, it was great. My nephew who used the pull-out bed in the basement said it was comfortable. And one nephew even slept on the sofa upstairs and said it was great. All in all, we loved our time in Magnolia! Definitely considering come back again next year!

Had a wonderful stay in Magnolia for Labor Day Weekend with my husband and 6 friends. House had everything you could need. It was clean, comfortable and the deck was amazing. Backyard is beautiful and we loved the whiffle ball field. Close to all the beautiful beaches as well. I look forward to staying there again.
