Amazing location close to beach and Surfside Subs. It was super nice having all the beach chairs and beach wagon.

The home has a beautiful, tranquil decoration style, with an open layout that encourages gathering on the main floor, as well as a nice den downstairs. It also has a large deck out back with plenty of room to enjoy a meal or sit and relax. The house also has one of the best equipped kitchens I've seen in a rental home and the owners have thoughtfully stocked it with lots of little extras like spices, etc. The house is also situated by two nearby beaches (Long Beach and Good Harbor Beach) and it was fun to be able to stroll on the beach. We were fortunate to have great weather and very much enjoyed the property inside and out. We'd definitely rent it again and hope to be back another time! ##### Suzanne P.

I'm very picky about VRBO homes and this one checked all the boxes. The house was super clean! It had plenty of amenities in the kitchen for cooking. I loved that there were lots of towels for the beach and showering after the beach. Everything you need for the beach is in their shed. There's a mini split on the main floor that keeps the kitchen/living room cool, however the bedrooms on that floor were warm.Overall - we can't wait to come back! ##### Brian L.

The house is split level so downstairs was actually more a suite if only using one room. It rained all afternoon one day, so we chilled at the house, made snacks and dinner, watched tv, worked on a puzzle. The house is setup nicely for this. Fully stocked kitchen. Lovely quiet area to walk around, check out the beach, and very quick drive to Rockport and Gloucester for site seeing and shopping. Another plus is there's an ice cream shop just a few properties away. Great for an after dinner treat. Would stay here again. ##### Jessica H.

Amenities are very well thought out and thorough, with impressively sharp kitchen knives and a full complement of pots and pans. Fireplace was "temporarily out of service" for our stay and the stairs down to the lower level are missing a handrail which was difficult for the less spry member of our party. Location can't be beat--we walked to the beach every day and supermarkets and restaurants are easily reached by car. One of the top vacation rental stays we've experienced. ##### Vicky H.

This house is as advertised. Clean, neat, near Long Beach and the Ice cream store. The parking for multiple cars was a benefit for all family and guests. The back deck was great for family cook out and gathering. Back yard for the kids. The house itself has a great kitchen. The open space to be able to conjure together was great for our family. The four bedrooms slept all of us. The two full baths supported the needs. The kids downstairs and adults upstairs. Awesome! Then when we had an issue, the owners promptly responded and had issue resolved timely. The area is safe / walkable and friendly. ##### Fred B.

We have stayed in many vacation rentals and this was the best equipped we’ve been in. The location was central to everything we wanted to do, and was very quiet.

We will be back for sure! ##### Alycia D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie S. 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful beach house in Gloucester. The house itself was spacious, giving everyone plenty of room to relax and spread out, with a central kitchen and living room area that led to a fantastic deck. The location is truly unbeatable. We were just a short, easy walk to Long Beach, so convenient to be able to come and go as we pleased without worrying about parking or having to go back to use the bathroom. The evening walks to get ice cream was also a perk. Easy drive to downtown Gloucester and Rockport for dinners out or shopping.We highly recommend this beach house to any family looking for a relaxing, spacious, and perfectly located beach getaway in Gloucester. ##### Julie S.
