The house was perfect for me, my son and his family, and my sister and her kids. It allowed for my parents to come and visit also. Walking to Good Harbor and the ice cream shop was wonderful. Only downside was the smell of pet urine was at times over bearing. Otherwise would book again when visiting my son who has become a transplant in Gloucester. ##### Carrie B.

Nicely furnished, kitchen has everything you might need, and plenty of space to dine in or out. The outdoor living area is great and safe for various grandchild hijinks.Just a short walk to the beach, and just as importantly, to the ice cream stand! Reading previous reviews, will say driveway may be daunting at first, but not unusual for this area, and there is ample parking, which is unusual for this area. No odors of any kind, house was immaculate. The owner is great communicator and low stress, easy rental process start to finish ##### Evelyn A.

It was a very comfortable set up to hang out as a group as well as having some space to spread out individually. Great property for a group. Very close to Hammond Castle as well as the train station for a Boston/Salem trip with the group if you didn't want to drive. Only downside, the driveway can be a little tricky to manage at times with it being such a sharp angle off the main road and being kinda steep. If you have multiple cars, it can be a little game of shuffling to get them all to fit without blocking the garage door, but definitely manageable if thought of ahead of time. There were no parking signs on the road by the house, we managed having all cars in the driveway but I'm not sure how far those signs are valid. Definitely recommend! The home felt very welcoming, like you were a part of the family. ##### Micaela J.

Location was perfect. Extremely clean and well stocked with necessities. My only complaints would be the lack of comfortable sleeping and sitting. It does accommodate 10 but only 2 beds. So when traveling with extended family as I did or a large group of friends, only 2 couples are sleeping comfortably. The sofa beds are very uncomfortable like all sofa beds. There is a 3rd bedroom downstairs with a sofa bed that would be better suited with a real bed. It would also be nice if there was more seating in the living area. We had a few people sitting on the floor when all of us were gathered for TV or just socializing. Overall, I’ve stayed at quite a few places over the years and this one would rank towards the top. I would stay here again but be prepared if traveling with a large group. I also never was welcomed with 2 bottles of wine at any stay so that was unexpected but a very nice touch. ##### Dave A.

We had 4 kids (3-11) and 6 adults. There was plenty of space for sleeping and living space. We never felt cramped. There was PLENTY of towels, sheets and even beach towels. There were games for the kids and adults, kitchen is very spacious and fully stocked. Kids ate at the kitchen bar while the adults ate at the dining table. Everything was very clean. We were pleasantly surprised when pulling extra sheets and or blankets from the closet they were all freshly clean. We’ve been to many places that made me nervous using their bedding, but not here. Pat was always quick to respond and honestly made me feel like we were her personal guests. There were 2 bottles of wine there welcoming us to her home. We all felt at home, it is very cozy and comfortable. We do have family in the area that we visit but they cannot accommodate the 10 of us, which we all want to come back during the summer when we have more time to enjoy Cape Ann and all that it has to offer. Thank you Pat, your home is the best VRBO we stayed in! ##### Melissa R.

This home is 5 minutes from great shops and restaurants in downtown Gloucester. We held a wedding reception for our daughter and son-in-law with the owner’s permission of 45 people. We had plenty of space for serving lunch and cake and the owner couldn’t have been more helpful. She even supplied 3 tables for the party. Three family members spent the weekend and they all raved about how comfortable the pull out couches were. We made breakfast on Sunday morning and everything we needed was available in the kitchen. The weather was great so we spent a lot of time on the back porch. Pat, the owner, was constantly available to help us with our event, answering my texts promptly. While her driveway easily parked 8 cars, she went out of her way to get us additional parking from her neighbors on either side of her house. I have to say that this home was unequivocally the best VRBO we’ve ever rented and we hope to return next year to enjoy it again! ##### Linda C.

We walked to Good Harbor Beach and Long Beach to avoid parking fees there. Both are beautiful beaches. The home has absolutely everything you will need in the kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms. Also provides towels, boogie boards and cart for the beach. The outdoor space was fantastic for family games, BBQing, making s’mores on the fire pit, and just relaxing and reading on the patio. We loved exploring Rockport, Gloucester, Salem, and Boston. There are 3 formal bedrooms and one couple stayed in the loft. (Can get quite warm in the loft in the month of July) There are A/C units only in the 3 bedrooms. The owner does provide plenty of floor fans to help cool the place a little. Great communication with the owner anytime we had a question. We loved the location of the home, very close to everything. We loved our nightly walks to the ice cream shop. Just a very short car ride to the local market for food. We loved the privacy of the home and yard, and the space inside to accommodate all of us. It was so nice to vacation where we didn’t have to pack so much stuff because this home truly had everything. Thank you for making our family vacation one to remember! ##### Jolene D.
