About this property

5-star home with quick walk to 2 beaches!!


Renovated beach home, steps from two of New England's most beautiful beaches, Good Harbor and Long Beach! This beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home is the perfect place to relax and spend time with family or friends. It comfortably sleeps 6 people (1 King, 1 Queen, 2 twins) and also has an upper and lower level living room with large sectional sofas.

Private fenced in backyard, beautifully landscaped, with a gas grill, fire pit and new outdoor patio furniture (two large white picnic tables which will seat a minimum of 12 people). 8 Adirondack chairs surrounding gas fire pit. 4 lounge chairs. New outdoor shower just installed. The home is meticulously clean. You are sure to be instantly relaxed when you walk through the front door. 4 off street parking spaces available during your stay. Grill for outdoor cooking.

Did we say steps from beach?! Good Harbor is no more that a 5 minute walk from your front door, and Long Beach is only about a 7 minute walk. No need to park and pay, or wake up early to get a parking spot, both beaches are free since you are walking.

Local attractions less than a mile from the home (most being within walking distance):

- Located between Good Harbor and Long Beach, be at the beach within 5 minute (walk)!

- Cape Ann Coffee & Dunkin Donuts

- Shaw's, Market Basket, and Stop and Shop right up the street

- Charlie's Restaurant (great breakfast and lunch spot), among other restaurants

- Gloucester Center is only a 1.5 miles away, with great shopping, dining and nightlife!

- Rockport is only a 10 minute drive from the home

- Liquor store right up the street, you're on vacation, right?!

- Long Beach Dairy Maid and Surfside Subs, steps from your front door! Top of the hot summer day with an ice cream, or order sandwiches for the beach!

....and so much more!

We would love to have you in our home, please let us know if you have any specific questions about the home or area! Week rentals only (Saturday-Saturday) June-September.

This truly is an excellent property. Conveniently located with easy off-street parking, the house is updated and very clean. The beds are very comfortable with nice linens and towels. The house is a very easy walk to Good Harbor beach - we went every day! The hosts provide beach towels and comfortable beach chairs.Though we didn’t use it, the house also has a wonderful deck with picnic tables, lounge chairs and a fire pit area.Communication with the hosts was also excellent; from the thorough checkin and checkout info to their responsiveness to questions via text.We highly recommend this property.

Beach Joy

This house is laid out great for me, my daughter and son-in-law and three grandchildren. The large deck and fenced in backyard are great for the little ones. We had a great time even though the weather didn’t cooperate very well.

Walk To The Beach

Unfortunately the weather was terrible this year but the house is very comfortable. The house works well for two small families because there are two full bathrooms and bedrooms on separate floors. The deck and back yard are very safe for young children.

A short walk to the best beach ever!

This lovely property worked very well for all of us. There was me, my husband, my daughter, my son-in-law and three grandchildren. We loved the large deck and the outdoor shower was really great, especially for the children. Didn't have to bring all the sand into the house.

Magical beach week!

The home is a perfect beach-themed, beautifully appointed getaway in a great location! The brief walk to two amazing beaches as well as a quick ride to both Rockport & downtown Gloucester are such a benefit to a relaxing, no stress beach vacation. We absolutely all enjoyed our stay immensely!!

Host profile image
We love the beach and we love Gloucester. We both grew up creating lasting family memories at Good Harbor beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in New England. We always said we would own a home near this beautiful beach, and now we do. We put a lot of TLC into making this beach home the relaxing and beautiful oasis that it is. We would love to open our home to you, so you too, can create many memories in Gloucester!

Why they chose this property

We just completed a full renovation of this home, and hope you enjoy what we have created. We would love you make your stay at Good Harbor a special and memorable one and hope invite you back for years to come. Please contact us with any questions.
