Great spot for a North Shore vacation!
We really enjoyed our stay at the house. It was very clean, nice space, easy to get into. We vacationed with our two sons, and the commuter rail into Boston was super easy and the local beaches are very kid-friendly. We didn’t consider the beaches to be walking distance with our kids, so we reserved parking in advance of the days we were planning to go to the beach. The house had nice amenities to get our stay started – hand soap, dish soap and dishwasher detergent, etc. Plenty of towels – both bath and beach towels, and there were two beach towels available for use during our stay. The neighborhood was very quiet, which was a big plus for us. Lots of great local restaurants nearby, and we really enjoyed getting coffee and breakfast sandwiches at Cape Ann Coffee, which was right down the road. I’d definitely stay here with our family again!

Wonderful place to stay
The house was beautiful and had a well stocked kitchen for those that like to cook. It was like having a home away from home. Lots of reataurants in the area and grocery store very close. Short drive to Boston or Salem. Beautiful area will definitely be back to explore more when the weather is nicer and can enjoy a whale watch.

A working getaway...
We had to stay in Gloucester a few nights due to a job we were doing in the area. This place is very nice, almost felt like we were on a vacation- minus the work we had to do.

Some shortcomings but a nice property.
The property is certainly in good shape having been recently renovated. First, getting into the property is a challenge, especially after dark. The only door that unlocks with the key code is the side door. The key code does not work on the front door...renter beware. Some finishing touches need to be completed to take it to the property description the listing offers. Little things like missing door/window treatments that are functional or just not there. No shades or privacy curtains on the doors. There are no towel hooks in the bathrooms to hang towels, clothing, etc. There are no bedside lamps for reading, only recessed lighting in the ceiling; it's all or nothing. The bedding is not the greatest as the beds are not high-end and somewhat uncomfortable. Even the children complained of sore backs. There are only limited utensils, and no oven mitts, in the kitchen making holiday cooking a challenge, but doable. I will say that communicating with the property manager is through the VRBO app and the company is out-of-state. If you have a pressing issue, you are for the most part, on your own. Overall, the property was in good shape and new. Just need to bring it to the next level of having everything you will need to be comfortable for your stay.

Great place to stay!
This home was a great place to stay while visiting the area! Only a short drive into Salem, Boston, Rockport, or other areas. The home was SPOTLESS and very nice inside. Everything we needed was there for us....but we didn't need much. If you plan on using the kitchen be prepared to bring everything you need. There are dishes and utensils but the little "extras" were missing. For example... there is a coffee maker but no coffee pods, creamers, sugars, etc... We had a few issues that prevent me from eating this a "5".... First off.... We arrived in the evening and went to the front door to gain entry. The check in instructions provided a code for access.....that doesn't work. After trying numerous times we called the VACASA help number and were told the code is for the side door, off the driveway. That's something that can easily be included in the checkin instructions that wasn't. The customer service agent even said there were notes in the system that it's a common problem...so fix it. The next issue is the heat/AC units. This is an older home that has been remodeled NICELY! There are split system AC units in the bedrooms and two downstairs. The problem is they can't operate at the same time. In the cold months, I imagine every one would like a little heat, not just one room. Overall, a great place to stay and a great value!

Short few days to see the foliage. Gloucester is a quaint town, a lot to do. The house was as described. Clean, with nice appliances and furniture, with adequate space in the bedrooms. The down stairs is open floor plan, and very comfortable. Parking was on the side of the house. We enjoyed everything about this place and our stay.

This is a beautiful home, exceptionally clean, lovely furnishings, great location in East Gloucester! Stay would be enhanced by a lamp in each bedroom (only overhead lights) and towel bars in bathrooms. Trouble with keypad entry only problem. We’d definitely stay again!
