Very clean and quiet. Perfect for a two night stay. TV system was a bit challenging to navigate but we figured it out. Good location close to the beach and great seafood nearby.
Cottage was adorable! Super clean annd comfortable! We had everything we needed! Great communication with owner who even found friends of our a place to stay right down the street! The only thing is parking is super tight if you have a bigger car, truck or SUV
Everything was perfect. Relaxing get-away, close enough to beaches shops and restaurants, in a quiet location, with beautiful sunsets, just steps away. Can't wait to return.
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!
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.
We had a wonderful stay at this darling cottage. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything you can imagine you would need. Bed was comfortable. There was a neighborhood turkey that was very entertaining. Thank you.
Great two night getaway in Gloucester. Cottage is cozy and very comfortable. Christine was great to work with and definitely would recommend staying here keeping in mind that access to the bedroom involves navigating a spiral staircase but this was not problematic.
A perfect spot for me to relax and rejuvenate before the holidays. Thank you Christine. I took a lovely walk to the beach and all around the neighborhood. The shopping in Gloucester was great for the holidays. I think I’m ready to take on the craziness now!
Property clean, very welcoming at first glance. All good except the king size bed in the loft has an inadequate bed frame that collapsed on me when I lay down on the bed and the mattress caved in the middle. Had to sleep on outer edge to avoid falling into the hole. The next night we slept on the pullout couch which was rough. The bed frame should be replaced. Otherwise would have give 5 stars but bed was unsleepable.
Relaxing, easy. It's nice to be able to walk to Plum Cove Beach for a dip. Had two nice meals at the Lobster Pool, two good hikes at Halibut Point (both are nearby), and explored three other local beaches. The kitchen was also well-supplied for basic cooking (spices, olive oil, etc.). Two words of caution: 1) the spiral staircase to the bedroom/loft is slippery and potentially hazardous. And 2) if you're interested in using local beaches, download the parking app and book your spots asap. We were shut out of Wingershaek (sp?), Crane's, and Good Harbor. All said, we'd definitely come again. :)
Lovely house. All amenities were there, the binder of information was very helpful. The walk to the little beach was farther than we anticipated from the write up. The back pack strap style beach chairs were great! Parking is tight!!! I don’t know that our truck would have fit in the garage or the allotted space comfortably, so I was very glad we had our Honda CRV.
A highlight was the speakers everywhere and the bathroom shower was excellent. Overall the pullout bed was comfortable- we slept great and really loved everything about it!! Super cute place. ✨😊✨
It is a wonderful cottage in a beautiful spot. The beach is near-by - about .2 miles and the walk there is pleasant. All that was needed was there. One element can't be improved, and that is parking. The garage is very hard to negotiate and the parking spot, while usable, requires pulling into and turning around in an area of the development where some neighbors dispute boundaries as it were. There also needs to be improvement with the kitchen chairs. One was "repaired" but not made usable. We took it outside and made it usable ourselves. Overall, however, this is a great place and I'd stay there again!
We had a great stay in Gloucester -as prior reviews noted, parking was a bit tight with a large vehicle but we were able to figure it out and a minor issue. The cottage was clean, comfortable, private-- a very sweet place to come home to after sunset at the nearby cove. Loved exploring Halibut Point, Gloucester, Rockport, etc. What a gorgeous spot!
The parking area is quite tight, could benefit from a bit more excavation. I wouldn't want to try to park a large SUV or Pickup there! Ideal location, it was very much what was advertised. One note, and this may be more oriented towards VRBO in general, but the fees for cleaning and processing seem rather exorbitant!
