Loved the location and views!!!
Miss Linda, out host was absolutely amazing. My fiance and I just came back from a week there with our family. We were married in Massachusetts during our stay and we couldn't have picked a better location or host for our first visit to New England. Miss Linda provided everything that we needed and accommodating to our needs.we look forward to a future visit on an anniversary. The Newlyweds 💚

Beautiful Historic Home
If you appreciate the architecture of old homes from the 1890s this is for you. Linda our host was awesome. She was very accommodating and friendly. Had a great time. Love having a great breakfast next door at Zekes.

I would stay there again.
The location and host are absolutely perfect for seeing all of Gloucester. Museums, restaurants and art gallaries are everywhere in Gloucester and Rockport (minutes away). Our stay was not without a surprise or two. For example a - heads up - for those that have trouble navigating quaint narrow/short tread stairways : My wife took it slow and was able to adjust (no biggy).

Cute New England Home
Cute New England home. This is an area in an apartment above where the property manager lives. There is a little shared space on the staircase, although she provides much privacy. Linda was very accommodating and made sure our stay was comfortable. Great views from the home and easy access to the home. Just 30 mins from Salem.

A nice spot for two.
Linda was a very responsive host. The rental was the upper two floors of a charming old house, located midway between Rocky Neck and the downtown area.

Good value, next to a tasty restaurant
This tidy home met our needs and was walkable to Good Harbor Beach. While it's not a terribly long walk, it feels longer with kids and carrying beach stuff. Hearing the seagulls and boats through the front windows was nice. The bedrooms are on the third floor and a bit stuffy on hot days. There are window AC units, which are adequate, but need some time to cool off the rooms. The host was very pleasant and gave us plenty of space, but I would note that if you're looking for privacy, this is not your best bet. She lives on the lower floors and there is a shared staircase to get to the bedrooms. If you've got the money to spend, staying in one of the hotels that overlook the ocean is nice, but this rental is half the cost of one of those hotels.
