Great house!
Very cute and charming house. We found the decor and furniture comfortable and we were very much “at home” here. It’s a quick walk to the local beach and a ten minute drive into town.

Perfect beach getaway!
My best friend and I take a yearly girls trip and this house was perfect! It was steps to the beach and it was pet friendly which we love to be able to bring our dogs with us. Christine was also very great and responsive when I reached to her. Overall it was great stay and we will definitely be back for a longer stay!

Wonderful Beach Escape
The house was perfect for our summer getaway. We enjoyed the convenience of walking to the quaint and quiet beach. The home had everything we needed, beach chairs, beach towels, and umbrella. We couldn’t ask for more.

Perfect!
We came to visit Salem and Boston during this trip, & decided to stay here to be close enough but also get an East Coast local vibe. Easy location to get to our desired locations, and we loved being so close to Plum Cove Beach. Pebble Beach was a quick drive too, which we also enjoyed. The property was clean & everything worked as it should. We did not have to contact the host at all except to let her know we had departed (as requested in check out instructions). Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Lovely, quiet get away
My friends and I had a lovely time at the house. It was quiet, sunny, and a nice break. It was nice to be close to options, but still quite secluded. We went for runs each morning, and enjoyed soaking up the warmth in the sunroom/patio area.

Wonderful Find in a Great Location!
We stayed for a quick trip to Mass. and wanted something nearby lots of good areas. We hadn’t stayed in Gloucester before but LOVED it, and it was easy to get to Salem and Rockport! The host was friendly and helpful and responded to us quickly! The house was very clean and perfect for our trip. We loved the charm and all the furniture was comfortable. We are already talking about wanting to go back!

Lovely stay
We had a lovely stay with our two dogs. The property was as described and the host was very responsive and generous in their interactions with us. The home was quaint and cozy and provided us with a lovely location to spend Thanksgiving together. The beach is a five minute walk from the home and lovely even in the off season.

Lovely New England Cottage
Clean and cozy cottage, typical of renovated 1900’s era homes. While there were a few “glitches”, Christine addressed them immediately. The photo of the upstairs bathroom does not really do it justice. It is a spacious bathroom with a lovely antique vanity. Shower worked for me - but I am on the short side. Would definitely stay again!
