Luxury 1900's romantic retreat steps from the beach - King Suite!

Welcome to our charming 1900's cottage, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Gloucester's coastal paradise. Completely renovated in 2006, this quaint retreat offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury, promising an unforgettable getaway for discerning travelers.

Step inside and be greeted by the warmth of our meticulously crafted interiors. The full gourmet kitchen, boasting granite counters and stainless steel appliances, invites culinary adventures and memorable meals shared with loved ones. Indulge in relaxation in our spa shower, or ascend the maple spiral stairs to discover a romantic bedroom adorned with three skylights, bathing the space in natural light and creating a dreamy ambiance.

Outside, seasonal ocean views await, offering glimpses of the majestic Atlantic that lies just 500 feet away at Plum Cove Beach. Sit back and watch as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of crimson and gold—an experience lauded as one of the world's best by none other than National Geographic.

But the allure of our cottage extends far beyond its walls. As the premier location to begin your exploration of Cape Ann, we offer unrivaled access to Gloucester's rich tapestry of experiences. Immerse yourself in the town's storied New England history, wander through charming streets lined with historic architecture, and discover hidden gems in local art galleries.

For nature enthusiasts, extraordinary beaches beckon, each offering its own unique charm and opportunities for seaside adventures. Embark on thrilling whale watching excursions, where the chance to encounter these majestic creatures up close awaits. Visit iconic lighthouses that stand as beacons of hope along the rugged coastline, or embark on enchanting fall foliage tours that showcase the area's natural beauty in all its splendor.

And let's not forget about Gloucester's culinary scene, where fresh seafood reigns supreme. Indulge in the catch of the day at renowned seafood restaurants, savoring every bite of lobster, scallops, and more.

With so much to see and do, our cottage serves as the perfect home base for your Cape Ann getaway. Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, we invite you to make yourself at home and create memories to last a lifetime.

Relaxing and Refreshing

This was a beautiful place to stay for a a birthday/anniversary trip! It was easy to get to and had off street parking. We were amazed by the cleanliness and coziness and had everything we needed! You can see the sea from the drive way, but not really from inside the cottage. The steps to the beach is really to a cove, we chose to drive less than 10 min to Good Harbor beach and it was amazing! Halibut State Park was about a 15 minute drive and had a nice and easy hiking to the water. If ever this far northeast again we will definitely rebook!

My stay was just what I hoped for! Peace and quiet to read and write, but also to spend time outside, breathing in the ocean air, searching for sea glass, looking at the lighthouses, and enjoying the time.

Simply Adorable

Don't hesitate to book this cottage. It is really charming and super clean! The kitchen is incredibly well stocked. The bed and sofa are both very comfortable. The location is quiet and close to everything. There are beach chairs available which made our trip down to the beach super nice. And you can sit on the porch to watch the stars or listen to the water feature. We can't wait to come back! Thank you for having us!

Relaxing Hideaway

This property was perfect! It was clean, comfortable and cozy. It was 2 miles from our family and we enjoyed being close to the water and town as well. The bed was comfortable, which isn't often the case in a rental. We didn't want to leave!

Nice winter getaway from the city

Boston can be rough in winter, especially having moved to Boston recently from a small town, so it was lovely to get out of the city and stay at Plum Cove. The little cottage was lovely and peaceful, and Cape Ann was an amazing locale to explore. Can’t wait to come back to the area this summer!
