The property was exactly as advertised. The host was very helpful and responsive. The house was very clean and in a great location. The access to the beach was terrific and the proximity to both Rockport and Gloucester made both easily accessible. We enjoyed our stay.
Love the location of this house and the fact that you can walk to Good Harbor and Long Beach.Pat is a very responsive hostess. The property is clean and well-kept and perfect for a large family.
The stay was wonderful. Stocked clean house, great location-walk to beach and lobster rolls! Lovely patio and ample parking. Superior responsive and flexible host. I’m planning to return next year - that says it all, I think.
Comfy house, great location. There is so much to do in the area and the house is walking distance to two great beaches (on a pretty busy road). We loved our stay.
Pat was a fantastic host. The house was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location is awesome. 5 minute walk from Good Harbor Beach and equally close to an excellent ice cream/pizza/lobster roll place. I hope to stay again in the future.
The house is very clean, well organized and provides all the essentials. Spacious and comfortable, good for large groups. Only thing to mention is hottub is in master bathroom and 5th bedroom is the living room. Other
Beautiful stay in Gloucester. Check-in was a breeze and the house was well equipped and clean. Linens were plentiful: plenty of towels, extra blankets and pillows. Pat was a wonderful host and provided great instructions on accessing the home and parking. He even shared a weather alert when a large storm was approaching. It was like staying with family. Highly recommend.
Best VRBO ever! Everything was so clean, thoughtful, useful, and pleasant. They even left us wine! The house was spotless and the ease of checking in and out cannot be overstated. We had an amazing time and appreciate our fantastic hosts!
Multigenerational family vacation was a great success!Plenty of room for all to spread out. AC in the bedroomsmade for easy sleep. Beautiful kitchen. Lovely deck w/ grill. Big screen TV made it nice for my husband to keep w/ sports. Easy enough walk to beach. Good house instructions provided.
Pat has a beautiful home that is warm and inviting. It is very clean and well stocked with anything you may need. Also in a great location.
Pat was a wonderful host who was very accommodating to our needs.
Great house, vert well stocked and clean, easy walk to amazing beach. Everything we needed including for a 1 year old. The beach is perfect for kids. Could’ve stayed two weeks.
Wonderful House and Location
Thank you, Pat, for sharing your home and for making us feel so welcome!
Thank you also for your quick responses to our text messages. Highly recommend staying at this property.
Pat was super friendly and helpful during our stay. House was immaculate and exactly as advertised! Home provided enough space for our family of 9, and the well stocked kitchen was a great place to spend time together after a long sunny beach day.
Short walk to the beach, and lots of nearby fun for rainy days. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks Pat!!
Loved the property. Steep driveway but well taken care of. Felt like we were staying at family's house. Very clean and the wine is a classy touch! Thank you.
We loved our stay at this property! There were multiple places to sleep, the kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms were well stocked. Pat was super communicative and helpful. We stayed for my sisters wedding at Hammond castle. The morning of the wedding the six bridesmaids came to get hair and makeup done and the space was perfect. Thank you!
