About this property
Fabulous fully furnished vacation home between Good Harbor Beach and Long Beach!
This 3-level, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom, recently renovated, beach-themed condo is fully stocked and features 2 unique outdoor spaces. Located right between 2 of Cape Ann’s most amazing beaches — Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester and Long Beach in Rockport — Take your pick — no need to drive or pay for beach parking, as both beaches are just a short walk away!
The space:
We are located 40 miles north of Boston in historic Gloucester, perfectly nestled between Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester and Long Beach in Rockport.
Our vacation home is fully furnished and available for summer weekly vacations, as well as long weekends, weekly stays, and short-term off-season getaways.
Indoor features include 3 levels of cozy and comfortable living:
The main level features an updated, fully stocked kitchen with an open-concept layout into the living room, along with a half bathroom. The living room includes a gas fireplace, 50+” flat-screen TV, two full-sized couches (one pulls out for additional sleeping if needed), and a full-sized screened slider leading out to the front deck.
The second level has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each bedroom includes a queen bed, closet space, plenty of storage, and its own private full bathroom with a bathtub/shower. Linens, bedding, and towels are provided during your stay. We also can provide a pack n play if needed.
The third floor living space features a spiral staircase leading to the loft. This room includes two queen beds, two rollaway cots, a TV, built-in book nook, and built-in desk. Many kids love this space as their own private area to relax and hang out away from the adults!
The entry level includes a washer and dryer for your use, along with extra beach towels for those days when you want to head back to the beach again and again.
Outdoor features include unique spaces for relaxing:
The main level has a walkout to the front deck with a bistro table and two chairs.
Off the kitchen is a walkout to the back patio, featuring a dining table, BBQ, outdoor furniture, fire pit, and outdoor shower.
Above the back patio, you’ll find the garden ledge surrounded by beautiful granite rock features. This peaceful space includes a hammock and a relaxing area perfect for reading, lounging, or enjoying the surroundings.
Your rental includes cable TV, Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, linens, beach cart, beach chairs, classic board games, and plenty of books for lazy days reading on the beach, relaxing around the home, or enjoying the hammock.
Guest access:
You have full access to this entire condo unit, with parking available for 4–5 cars in the driveway. Street parking is also available.
Other things to note:
Week-long rentals are preferred from end of June through beginning of September (Saturday check-in).
This home has three staircases and may not be suitable for all guests with mobility limitations:
Approximately 14 steps from the entry level to the main living area. Approximately 14 steps from the living area to the bedrooms. A spiral staircase leading to the third-floor loft.
Guests traveling with toddlers may want to bring their own baby gates. Guests with difficulty using stairs should consider this layout when planning their stay.
This property is one half of a duplex home (two separate condos), and we live in the other half.
The home is equipped with window A/C units in each of the three bedrooms and one in the living room. Ceiling fans are located in the living room, kitchen, and both primary bedrooms. Additional fans are available in the loft if needed. For the most comfortable stay in the heat of the summer, we recommend keeping windows closed and running the A/C when needed.
The home is located on a busier coastal road with Thatcher Pond directly across the street. There are no sidewalks, but the area is very familiar with beach traffic and pedestrians. We are approximately 0.44 miles from both Long Beach and Good Harbor Beach — both are an easy, short walk away.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a wonderful time at between 2 beaches. Our extended family of 10 was very comfortable and the 4 young ones had plenty of games and toys to explore in the house. We were very grateful for the beach wagons, unlimited beach towels, toys, boogie boards and walked to the beach daily. The outdoor backyard is special. A most beautiful place with 2 levels, large table for eating those lobsters and gas fire pit with comfortable furniture. The house was well stocked and if you needed or forgot anything, it was there. We definitely look forward and are excited to come back in the future! Joanne and Jim were the most helpful and kindest of hosts.

Kim,
Thank you so much for your incredible review! We're so happy to hear your family had such a wonderful time and that the little ones enjoyed all the games, toys, and beach gear.
It sounds like you made the most of everything—from the beach walks to family dinners and relaxing around the fire pit. That's exactly what we hope our guests experience.
It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. Thank you for taking such great care of our home, and we hope to welcome you back again next summer!
Joanne & Jim
Oh my goodness, my family had the most wonderful beach vacation at this cozy, welcoming rental. Every detail was thoughtfully provided, making it feel like a true home away from home. The host made us feel cared for, and we are already looking forward to coming back next year!!!
Perfect spot to walk to both Long Beach and Good Harbor. The house has everything you need and more. The hosts have thought of everything to make this vacation home special.
We had a great vacation at Between2beaches! The house is immaculately clean and well cared for. Joanne and Jim are great hosts and it is evident they enjoy sharing their rental with guests. I’ve never been in such a well appointed rental. We love the Gloucester/Rockport area and our biggest challenge vacationing there is finding suitable affordable housing for the vacation. Between2 beaches was perfect for us. Thanks again, Joanne and Jim for a fantastic stay!Dawn and Dan

Dawn and Dan, thank you for this incredible review. We try to have almost anything anyone may need… except for the clothes and bathing suits! We hope to see you or your family next summer!!!
We had a lovely stay at between 2 beaches. The hosts are extremely attentive and available, but not intrusive. The house is clean, comfortable and well equipped. And we love the area. It’s on a busier road but you don’t feel it.
Such a wonderful fully stocked home in the most perfect location! Right Between 2 Beaches, easy walking distance to both with a beach wagon full of chairs and boogie boards! We had such a wonderful time staying for the second time here! Love the town of Gloucester, it’s turned into our home away from home! Thank you so much once again, we will definitely be back!

Dawn, we loved hosting you and your family again. Saying that this is your home away from home is a pretty awesome statement.
Thank you for this fabulous review, we would love to host you anytime!!!
This is the perfect location, between Cape Ann’s two best beaches. Walkable each way.
The host and hostess were friendly, thoughtful, responsive, and accommodating.
It looks like they had fun decorating the place! Modern and tasteful.
We enjoyed evenings at the firepit on the fantastic backyard patio.
This property was perfect for the three generations of our family. It was perfectly located to go back and forth to the beach. The hosts were very helpful and provided full information of the area, beach towels and a full array of beach gear. The outside back area was perfect for both kids and adults. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. We all had a great time.
This is a great community and the beaches are so gorgeous. First time to the east coast and we were very impressed The house had literally every amenity you could want including some unexpected treats and toys. Beach toys and chairs came in handy.
Its very easy to walk to the beaches. The stores are close and easy too.
The house accommodated our family perfectly! Plenty of space.
Thank you for your hospitality!

Bria, we are so happy you chose us for your first trip to the east coast, and that you enjoyed it so much. We’d gladly host you again.
Joanne & Jim.
There were up to nine of us staying here and we had such a great time! Jim and Joanne were wonderful hosts and were quick to answer any questions and help with whatever we needed. House was clean and well stocked. Location was perfect - very quick walk to beaches. Outdoor spaces were perfect: a cool space for hanging out on hot days and a sunny space if you don't want to go to the beach. I have to say that of all the places I've rented via VRBO and other companies Jim and Joanne were by far the best hosts I've ever rented from. Would absolutely rent from them again! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Kim…. Thank you so so much! You and your friends are fabulous, and it was so awesome to meet you all. We fell in love with staying at a similar rental in Paris, and strive to exceed what we experienced. Your review confirms we are doing just that. Thank you again, and we hope to see you again!
Joanne & Jim.
We have stayed at more than 12 different houses over the years and Between 2 Beaches was by far better than all of those combined!!! It was a perfect location and super clean and the hosts provided everything you would need!!! Thank you again Jim and Joanne!! The kids were so excited to have presents waiting for them!! The adults too!!! We will be back for sure!!!

Thank you for this incredible review, and rating us so highly compared to so many other properties you have stayed at. That is a pretty awesome compliment to us, confirming we are doing good! We want our guests to feel like they are family, and stay in a home away from home ... and then some!!! (The little extras! ). Best to you all, and know you are welcome back anytime.
Our family of 4 (2 parents, 2 teens) had an amazing week at Between 2 Beaches! The rental was so thoughtfully stocked (so many little extra touches you don’t typically find), and the hosts were the best- friendly, helpful, communicative. We loved all the interior space, the beds were comfy, there were plenty of beach items (chairs, towels, beach games, etc), and the house even included lots of lovely bonus finds, like tons of board games and books. Jim & Joanne really thought of everything. We would return in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful vaca!

Spectacular! We have stayed in many rental properties but never have we had the extreme attention to detail and top notch hospitality as we experienced at Between 2 Beaches. The home is lovingly appointed and every detail and comfort item has been anticipated and provided. Kitchen is well stocked, bathrooms have necessities plus plus, oodles of towels and linens, beach gear, you name it. The owners live next door and were friendly and kind when we bumped into them (but not at all intrusive.) Truly a stay for the ages. Oh - and the location is as lovely as it gets. Good Harbor Beach is the best on the planet IMHO, Long Beach is also lovely, and having the sub/pizza shop and ice cream spot steps away from the home was so convenient and fun. A perfect trip! Thanks to Joanne and Jim for hosting us so graciously!

Kara, thank you so much for this incredible review. We love what we do and want our guests to feel at home and have everything they may need… except of course for their bathing suits and change of clothes. Please know you have friendly neighbor's and a home away from home with us, when you come back to visit again!
We had a fantastic time! This house is the most ‘ready to enjoy and relax’ rentals we stayed in our 18+ years of renting houses on the East Coast. Walking distance to two pristine Beaches : 7 min to GoodHarbor Beach and 5 min to Long Beach. Appreciated walking back home for lunch. Went with my husband and 2 daughters 18 and 21 and my parents. The owners went over and above to make sure we had everything we needed - thank you Joanne and Jim! (Only warning: the 2 beds on the second floor can be tricky to access if you are not fit and might not suitable for toddlers because of the open staircase.) Do not hesitate if you are looking for a great spot to explore Rockport/Gloucester. We highly recommend:)

Beautiful Home! Perfect Location!!
This home has it all! The owners have thought of every detail and put love in to every inch of this place! Loved the location! We were close to everything! We could easily walk to 2 different beautiful beaches with the help of the supplied buggy they provided. Easy to carry beach chairs and soft fluffy beach towels made our days at the beaches amazing! Their suggestions on things to see and places to eat were spot on! Amazing food and beautiful sights!! Really enjoyed the 4th of July festivities between Gloucester and Rockport!! The back patio/yard was sweet and comfortable with tons of seating and a hammock area for super chill time! They truly thought of every comfort!! The beds were the best part! Brand new mattresses in every room and a perfect nights rest every night of our stay! We will definitely be back to the charming town of Gloucester and will stay at “between two beaches” every time! Thank you for our best family vacation yet!! See you next year!

Such a pleasure to host Dawn, her family and friends! They were kind, considerate, and left the house in pristine condition. So happy they enjoyed the suggestions we provided, and the area. We look forward to them staying with us again. Highly recommended, but hopefully back with us next summer. :)
This property was perfect for our moms and daughters (10 of us) week trip to Cape Ann. First, I can not say enough about our stay at this property. Location was amazing between Long Beach, Rockport and Good Harbor Beach, Gloucester. An ice cream/pizza restaurant just steps from our door. The property has everything you need and could possibly want for use at the house and at the beach. It truly feels like a home away from home. VERY CLEAN!! Kitchen has every appliance, utensil, dish and more. Bedrooms/loft and bathrooms are aesthetically pleasing, clean and roomy. Beds are very comfortable! Loved all the decor and special touches put into interior from the first step into the property up through the loft! There were helpful notes to help guide you through anything you use in and out of the property as well as advice and information regarding the area...including coupons! The landscaping in the back of the property was very inviting. The owners definitely put an effort in using the natural terrain with their landscaping ideas! Parking was convenient, especially for the number of cars we had. The owners were outside helping us as we drove in! Jim and Joanne were perfect hosts...on top of every question, welcoming and gracious. We all want to thank them for making our trip amazing! We wouldn't change a thing, NOT ONE COMPLAINT !! Thank you Between 2 Beaches!!

Oh my goodness, your review made our day, and made Joanne tear up (Happy tears)! We love having a cozy home to bring families and friends together. All the little details we love do, we are thankful to hear you loved them too!!!! Have a magnificent rest of your summer and know our home is your home away from home! Cheers!
We had a wonderful time! House was very clean and stocked with everything we could possibly need!! Jim and Joann were so accommodating and kind!! Quick walk to both beaches and food/ice cream right next door made life easy. Highly recommend this property!
We had such an awesome stay. The house had anything you could possibly need. It was super clean. The hosts were so incredibly friendly and helpful! The kids had a great time roaming the backyard and they loved the upstairs loft! The walk to the beach was easy. It’s very close to the grocery store and is steps away from a pizza/subs/ice cream place (highly recommend the lobster rolls too!). The only negative to the stay is that I wouldn’t say the house is toddler-proof. So we spent a lot of time wrangling our 3 year old to keep him from breaking things. I definitely wouldn’t take away any stars though. It was an absolutely wonderful place to stay!
All I can say is WOW! Not only is this property gorgeous, but Jim and Joanne are wonderful hosts! They went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was great. The kitchen comes stocked (spices and meal add-ons included) and they provide so much for their guests to use. They provide sheets and towels for all guests (beach towels included) and have beach accessories to use as well (umbrella, chairs, toys, wagon, cart, and cooler). This house has been the most well equipped out of any vacation rental I have stayed at. Jim and Joanne, thank you for being great hosts. The kids and the adults enjoyed all of the extra surprises that you left for us! I’m so glad that we decided to stay at Between2Beaches and we will definitely consider staying here again!

Alexander, thank you for this incredible review! We love it when people really feel at home here, and we would love to host you again! Thank you for being the perfect guests and leaving the house immaculate!
We came to “between 2 beaches“ to enjoy the last week of summer at the beach and celebrate a birthday. Joanne and Jim are thoughtful hosts and made us feel very much at home in their comfortable rental. They provided beach towels, beacH chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards — everyone we needed for enjoying Good Harbor Beach. Because of cOVID-19 we cooked all our dinners at the house and ate in the beautiful backyard as often as possible. Joanne arranged a fabulous birthday cake for our last meal. My grandsons loved their third floor suite and want to return. We had a memorable stay!
Our stay at between 2 beaches was great! Jim & Joanne are gracious hosts and went out of their way to make sure we had everything needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The house is positioned perfectly and had all amenities imaginable. Definitely looking forward to another stay. Thank you

About the host
Hosted by Jim & Joanne Frontiero
Hi, nice to meet you! Our names are Jim and Joanne Frontiero, and we are so happy you stopped by.
HOW WE BECAME...
We were 2 lost souls that found each other in 1996. Joanne (a Canadian) visited a good friend in Boston in the Summer of 1996. Joanne met her friend’s boyfriend’s best friend, a boy named Jim (from Gloucester), and of course they hit it off..... 27 years later (no way we are that old)... We are happily married 24 years. Jim's twin sons are now in their 30's, and our daughter will be a senior at URI.
We bought our first condo in between 2 incredible beaches and have happily lived here since 2001. In 2018 we had the opportunity to buy the other half, and we love that we can now share our little slice of paradise with others.
Why they chose this property
Did you know Gloucester is actually an island ? (Separated by 2 bridges). We are situated near the tip of Cape Ann, but so close to many amazing day trips you can plan while staying here. Top short drives (5 minutes to an hour away): Rockport, Essex, Newburyport, Boston. We also love to take day and weekend trips to New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, and Vermont....And then of course, there is walking to 2 of the most beautiful beaches in Cape Ann from our house.
What makes this property unique
We are foodies, and love to explore. If you have any questions during your stay, we live right next door, and know everything about the area. We can help you as little, or as much as you'd like, to make sure your vacation in Gloucester, and the Cape Ann area is an amazing one.
We hope you come and visit our little slice of paradise, Between 2 Beaches.
