Location: Gloucester, North of Boston & Greater Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts, USA (35 Miles from Boston, Logan Airport, 15 Miles from Salem)
Accommodations: Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
Lanes Cove Apartment has just been converted from a yearly lease rental to a weekly vacation rental. All the old went out and now it’s been completely refurnished and redecorated. It’s done in contemporary furniture, mostly black and white, with splashes of fuchsia and chartreuse. Fabulous look!
The beautifully furnished and accessorized living/dining room leads through a glass slider to a private deck, and both these areas have lovely views of the ocean and gardens. The bedroom is furnished with a new black iron bed, an antique mirrored chest, and a full length mirror. The bathroom is spotless and in excellent condition like the rest of the apartment.
The modern kitchen has all the expected appliances, gadgets, and equipment for cooking, serving and cleaning. But, before you get too excited about the low rates, I must tell you that the photos make the rooms look larger than they actually are. I understand that the necessary fish-eye lens does that. Despite my confession, I know you’ll be pleased with Lanes Cove Apartment.
Please check the availability calendar which I try to keep up to date. Because it's not real-time bookings, there may be a short gap of time before a reservation is recorded. Also, please keep in mind that the Apartment is rented by the week. However, sometimes guests rent for more days than a week, leaving a few days open. In that case I would rent for a shorter period.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1995
I'm a retired teacher who bought a mid-1800s Victorian house in 1995 with too many rooms. In 2001 I started to rent rooms as a bed and breakfast home. When that got easy enough to handle, I converted my great old barn into a gorgeous large vacation home. It has been very successful, so I changed my lower level apartment into a really cool and affordable vacation rental. I just finished it this past week, in June 2009. During these 14 years of living in Lanesville, I also installed lots of gardens and won a garden award last year. Another confession: My sister and brother-in-law nominated my garden. I figure I'll get tired and stop expanding when I'm 85, maybe.
Why the Owner Chose Gloucester
What could be a more desirable location than on the ocean? There are beautiful vistas at every turn.
