We were really impressed with Summerwind cottage, it was beautifully decorated, and comfortable. Linda gave us great recommendation on what to do/see in the area. We can't wait to visit again.
We couldn’t have been happier with our stay!! We had a family wedding & this was the perfect place to stay!! The porch offers a gorgeous view of the harbor & we look forward to returning to explore the area. Linda is a wonderful host & super welcoming!!
Another fabulous stay that did not disappoint! Linda and Hank are attentive and enthusiastic hosts who have dedicated themselves to making our stay outstanding!!
Our stay was great. Linda was a perfect host - nearby if needed but gave us our privacy. The house was lovely and just as depicted. Lots of things to do - many within walking distance. Hope to return!
We felt comfortable the moment we entered Summerwind Cottage. Everything about the property was well planned, executed, and maintained. We loved sitting on the deck watching the activity in the marina, eating our meals, and seeing the sunsets. Our host made sure we had everything we needed. And we were delighted when we found Good Harbor Beach on our morning walk.
Linda was a great host —she gave us lots of helpful tips on things to do and see. The cottage is cozy: Comfortable bed and great water pressure in the shower. Thanks for a great stay.
We spent a week touring Cape Ann and this property was a perfect location for our vacation. House was clean, very well appointed, comfortable, and located with a beautiful view of the Harbor from the outdoor deck and from inside. This was a perfect location base camp for daily excursions all over Cape Ann and Cape Cod. We enjoyed this house and highly recommend this property.
We were there for a long, adults-only weekend to visit Salem and this cottage did not disappoint. Cottage is exactly as described and the owner Linda was very friendly, pleasant, and helpful! Can't wait to be back for another trip.
A great, comfortable & clean place. Very convenient to lots of restaurants and day trips to places like Rockport and Newburyport. Near lots of beaches and scenic drives. Owner is terrific, very accommodating and nice. Definitely recommend it.
We truly enjoyed our week in Gloucester. All of the suggestions about where to eat and places to visit. Our favorite beach was Long Beach and our favorite activity was the sunset schooner sail. We will definitely stay here again!
Everything was perfect. The home was so clean and had everything we needed, even extras like coffee and creamer for mornings on the beautiful deck. The sunset was incredible in the evenings. Linda was so kind and even stopped by to see if we needed anything. The area is beautiful and you HAVE to try the Chicken Vodka Pasta from The Lobster which is just a short walk away (we had it twice in 2 days - that’s how good!).
We enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Linda was very attentive to us and made sure we had everything we needed. Sunsets were memorable!

Lovely 2 Bedroom home. The owners put so much thought into making this an exceptional place to stay!
We could not have been more pleased with this VRBO- about the best we have ever stayed at! The owners put so much thought into making this home beautiful and comfortable and were so pleasant to work with! Loved the deck overlooking Gloucester harbor! Very well stocked home and very comfortable beds! Will definitely be staying here again!
We loved the warm welcome we had from the owner, Linda. The house was clean and perfectly provisioned with everything we needed. We were well located to visit Boston (via train) and surrounding areas. We loved our stay!
I highly recommend this home.

This was a wonderful place to stay and Linda and Hank were very gracious hosts. The cottage has everything you need plus the list of restaurants from Linda is a great guide. Be sure to take the walk to Good Harbor Beach. I will miss my morning walks!
The home felt like home! Ir was super clean, centrally located. Well air conditioned. It was a great getaway, and relaxing on the deck watching the boats go in and out was great!
Lovely house, although a little difficult to get in and out of (the driveway is very narrow). Listing said there was a pull out sofa, but unless I’ve gotten so old I can’t understand how to work it, we couldn’t find the sleeper portion of the sofa. We enjoyed our stay anyway!
We stayed at Summerwind cottage 5 years ago and the wonderful time then was repeated with this stay. The cottage is just the right size for being a cozy retreat, it is well furnished with all the appliances and furnishings that we wanted
The beds gave us great sleep and were very comfortable. The cottage is convenient to restaurants and local attractions as well a to sightseeing destinations
The cottage was very clean and well organized, including a well stocked kitchen. Linda's artistic touch made the environment warm and aesthetically pleasing. Our host was spectacular sharing informations and tips about places to eat and things to do in the area. Highly recommend.

We take great pleasure in making our guests feel right at home and are available to help in any way possible to assure a comfortable and memorable vacation. Hank and I grew up on Cape Ann and have lived in Gloucester for 30+ years... we wouldn't have it any other way! (Linda is a musician and artist, and Hank is a woodworker and avid boater.)
Why they chose this property
Summerwind Cottage offers the best location ever - situated close to Good Harbor Beach, Long Beach and Niles beach (5 min. by car in either direction.) Downtown shopping, Rocky Neck Art Colony and many waterfront restaurants are only moments away. Rockport is just 7 min down the road. Train to Boston is across town. Salem is 20 min by car or train. Quiet location yet right in the middle of the action.
What makes this property unique
Open living space and lovely large deck with scenic harbor view - facing west for viewing of our magnificent sunsets. 15 walk to Good Harbor Beach footbridge (Gloucester's crown jewel.) Close to all the restaurants. Quiet neighborhood yet very close and convenient to all activities.
