Door to beautiful, oversized balcony was broken. Vacasa said it would be fixed during our stay, and they did not follow through. I’m disappointed. It was my birthday vacation. No other comments. ##### Anne B.

Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabrina A. 5 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful view and home We absolutely loved our stay at this delightful home in Beverly. The peaceful neighborhood provided a serene backdrop for our visit, and being conveniently located near the train station made getting around a breeze. The immaculate house was equipped with all the essentials, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I wouldn't hesitate to choose this wonderful accommodation again in the future. ##### Sabrina A. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bridget S. 23 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect place for our family and dogs Stayed here to do college visits in Boston. House was super clean upon arrival and stocked for all our needs. We cooked most of our meals and there was all the kitchen equiptment we needed to do this (pots, pans, utensils, etc) Beautiful deck with views of the park and bay, which was perfect for morning coffee. Quick ride into Boston. Right next door to Salem. Great dog friendley park across the street. Perfect place for a dog friendley visit to Boston. ##### Bridget S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elizabeth O. 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Fine but no internet or patio access The house was clean and had the essentials. However, we let management know our first day that the paatio door was broken so we couldn't access the very prominent patio listed in the pictures of this house. Its a huge reason we picked this property. I was told they would send someone out the first day and we never saw anyone and no one ever fixed the door. We also let them know that the internet didn't work even after resetting the router multiple times. They never fixed either of those issues during our six day visit. ##### Elizabeth O.

Fairly good stocked kitchen and a terrific deck for hanging out were key. A great grassy park with playground right across the street along with the river beach. A walk to town for coffee and dinner is so convenient. And the train station for checking out other areas is a five minute walk away. It’s good to know that it has a kerug coffee machine. ##### Robert and Lisa H. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Elizabeth O. 17 Jun 2025 #### No patio access or wifi Patio door is broken and the patio is a big reason we booked this home. I notified management the first day we arrived that we couldn't get the door open. They said they would send someone out that day. We stayed for 6 days and no one ever came. We also notified them that the wifi didn't work. That was also never addressed. The house was clean and met basic needs. Just disappointed that we couldn't sit outside at all during the beautiful mornings or evenings. ##### Elizabeth O. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Arjan B. 7 Sept 2024 #### Nice home but not perfect The house had a nice outdoor deck, but for some reason - without any explanation - the deck was unavailable for use. The photos show the deck quite prominently so that was very misleading. Maybe there was a reason that the deck was not available this time, but nobody explained this to us beforehand. We had to text and call and were simply told that it was not available. Other than that, we enjoyed the stay in Beverly. But Vacasa could do a better job next time! ##### Arjan B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tom B. 17 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great place, bad internet This is a nice property and pretty well equipped in the kitchen. The internet was basically never connected and with several of us trying to work it was a bad situation. Had to use hotspots or go elsewhere. Called the property management, sent pictures of the router... filled out a ticket. They said someone would contact us... didn't happen. My wife called Xfinity and they said "you have an old modem, upgrade." Property owners apparently said "no way" to that request... ##### Tom B.

Five minute drive to Salem. Beach and swings across the street. Three good size bedrooms, two bathrooms with showers all kept nice. I don’t think I’d want to stay in the summer because there’s no AC but other than that, nothing to complain about. ##### Michael H. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane 25 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The location was perfect! A 4 minute drive to Salem and was xlose wnto the interstate but yet far enough away that you didn't hear the traffic. The house was across the street feom a park and had eaa path to walk down to thw shoreline. ##### Diane Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrew H. 4 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### A Disappointment Lovely location and decent decor but a lot of unresolved issues. The kitchen was poorly stocked overall (for drinkware, only four plastic drinking cups and some wine glasses) and we weren't able to access the deck for the entire stay because of a faulty door. On the first day of our stay I was told a technician would be sent for the door, but no one ever arrived and no explanation was ever given, even after I repeatedly contacted property management. (At least we could see that the patio furniture wasn't at all inviting.) I asked about AC because it would be hot during our stay and was told that although there's no AC, there are five ceiling fans. All of the fans were in poor condition and noisy, and the two downstairs didn't work at all. As with the door, we were given no assistance with this even after contacting them. We booked close to the date of our trip, when few other properties were available. If you have other options, I recommend going elsewhere. ##### Andrew H. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hillary E. 16 Aug 2024 #### Home with New England Charm and Clean My family of 3, plus my sister with her partner could all sleep comfortably at the Goat Hill Cottage. The bedrooms are a large size for an older home. The bathrooms are renovated and updated very nicely. The towels and bed linens are exceptional. Most importantly it was very clean. The playground was across and the walk to the river which has a sandy beach was next door, both perfect for children . Please note: This property does not have central AC or window units and in July it was to hot to be comfortable. But the home and its location are great, we would love to stay again in the fall season! ##### Hillary E.
