Guestbook comments from the owner
Hi Linda,
It was the first time that we choose a rental instead of an hotel for our vacation. My boyfriend prefer hotels! I had to work hard to convince him and we were very pleased with our new choice. If every rentals were like yours I would never choose the hotel option again. Particularly we appreciate, in addition to your warm welcome, many aspects that made our stay very pleasant: cleanliness, fresh smell and fresh air at night, bed comfort, pure cotton linens (we hate polyester that we find everywhere even in upscale hotels!!!), bare floors instead of rugs, well equipped kitchen, nice view, ocean proximity, Gloucester that we fell in love with decades ago, a great feeling of being at home and above all those details...our hosts! Thank you very much for this wonderful week.
We join two photos taken from your deck at sunset.
P.S. Be indulgent for my English!

Very Nice Stay!
As I mentioned in your guest book, we felt at home in GLOUCESTER and your studio was perfect for us with this outstanding view of the marina. If we are still healthy, we shall be back next fall. Many thanks for your hospitality and your help. Wish you the best in the coming year.
Adorable and homey rental with gorgeous views.
Dave and I had a lovely stay at Sunset Serenade. Linda and Hank were wonderful hosts! Even though we only spent a few days in Glouchester Linda's "favorite things to do" list was perfect in assisting us with choosing restaurants and places to see during our stay. Enjoying our cup of coffee sitting on the deck overlooking the harbor watching the fisherman heading out to sea for their morning catch was delightful. The evening sunsets were even more spectacular. We enjoyed a fabulous whale watch, sunset windjammer cruise and of courses the beaches. Looking forward to our next visit to the Sunset Serenade already. Thank you Linda for your hospitality and a comfy cozy retreat for us. I highly recommend these accomodations. Perfect for a couples get away.
Quaint, cozy, clean, and nice view!
My daughter and I stayed here for a long weekend when I was taking her back to college. It was perfect! Quiet and peaceful. I especially enjoyed the deck. We also both appreciated how clean it was. We would definitely stay here again.
Great time in Gloucester
We had never spent time in this part of Massachusetts and we really enjoyed it! It was a great location to mix up activities - beach, lobster eating, arts, and an hour's train ride to Boston. We also spent a day in Southern Maine which was very doable from here. Also, we found Gloucester to be very enjoyable with super nice people and delicious seafood! Linda is an EXCELLENT host and had tons of great suggestions of where to go and what to do. Also, the place is very true to the photos and has everything you need. We enjoyed several evenings on the deck and while we chose not to really cook, the kitchen was very agreeable for a vacation meal. Spots nearby we really liked were The Rudder, Zeke's for breakfast (beware of large portions!), Down River Ice Cream (Essex) and the Blue Collar Lobster Co. Good Harbor Beach was very enjoyable for us too. We had a wonderful, relaxing time!
Perfect getaway !!
We had a wonderful time in Linda and Hank 's studio. It was perfectly furnished, the view is amazing and the neighbourhood very quiet(I am a light sleeper). They take really good care making sure you feel at home.
Linda and Hank are really nice poeple to talk with, comminication was super easy.
We will definetly go back whenever we plan to go to Gloucester.
Thanks again !

Amazing place
Description as a "studio" doesn't do this place justice. The bed is comfortable, the studio very clean and there is plenty of room to put away your things and still have space to eat, drink or lounge. Perfect location for exploring the area. Everything you could possibly need for a wonderful stay is located in this place.
Linda and Hank are FABULOUS! Linda knows so much about the area and will give suggestions for dining, drinks or just "stuff to do". We can't recommend this location and this host/hostess enough!!!!
Map
Gloucester, settled in 1623, is America's oldest seaport. Situated at the center of Cape Ann, Gloucester has one of the finest harbors in Massachusetts and remains one of the busiest fishing ports on the Eastern seaboard. Visitors are drawn to Gloucester's rich history, natural beauty, incredible beaches, fresh seafood, and on-water activities, especially the popular whale watch excursions. Gloucester also hosts a sizable artist population, many of whom can be found on Rocky Neck, the oldest working art colony in America.
