Perfect Weekend Spot

The size of the property is perfect for a couple’s getaway. It’s super close to the highway (which my husband noted as a plus) and the host was top tier from the get go. Very communicative and had everything clean and organized from on entering.

We had the greatest stay! It was so clean and just the most adorable cottage. Meg is easy to get in touch with and thought of everything we might need, and even some extra goodies as a special treat. We will definitely stay again when we head back east.

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 3, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you found the property clean and cozy. Just to clarify, the fireplace is listed in the house rules as decorative only and not operational. Unfortunately, it appears it was used during your stay without prior approval, which is a safety concern. We’ll ensure the listing is even clearer for future guests, but we do kindly ask that house rules be followed to keep everyone safe.

Gloucester and The shore Cottage are Amazing!

We stayed at the Shore Cottage in Gloucester, the space was so beautiful and just enough space for my wife and I. Meghan is truly amazing and worked with us for an early check-in in such a timely manner, we felt so welcomed and truly appreciated our little welcome basket as well as our stay! We recommend Gloucester and The Shore Cottage to everyone! Thank you so much for such a wonderful Weekend Getaway!

We had a lovely stay at the Shore Cottage. The place is very well maintained and has all the basics you could need for a short stay. I’d recommend for a couple or family with a small child unless primarily eating out, since there is only 2 stools in the kitchen. There is a small garden where we enjoyed grilling and eating outside when the weather was good as well. Note also that the listing mentions two twin beds in the living room and they are air mattresses not pull out sofas. The owner prepared the mattress and bedding, it was very comfortable for our child. Our kids especially loved Stage Fort Park and it was easy access from the rental.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! I’m so glad you found the cottage comfortable and enjoyed the garden and grilling outside. For clarity, the listing does note two twin beds in the living room and specifies in the details that they are air mattresses, but I appreciate you mentioning it for future guests. Delighted to hear your kids loved Stage Fort Park, it’s such a great spot nearby. You’re welcome back anytime!

From the moment I walked into the cottage, I instantly felt at home — I even joked that I wanted to move in! The owner went above and beyond, decorating for my arrival and even leaving a thoughtful gift and card for me, which truly made my stay extra special.The home itself was perfect — neat, spotless, and beautifully maintained. It was fully stocked with everything I could possibly need, making it so easy to just relax and enjoy my time. The location was fantastic, close to everything yet still peaceful and charming.Every detail felt so well thought out, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere made it one of the best stays I’ve ever had. I would absolutely love to come back and highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a comfortable, memorable getaway

Cozy Clean Cottage in Gloucester

My husband and I enjoyed our week stay in this cozy little cabin in Gloucester. It was very clean and comfortable, easy to find, drive to nearby places, and out of the hustle and bustle of a big city. We had everything we needed in the cabin and a nice place to park outside the door. We loved the little gift basket of goodies when we arrived and had items to cook inside. Bed was comfortable and temperature was also. Meg was available if we needed her and we had a wonderful time in Massachusettes for our first time.

Cozy and Comfortable

This property was exactly as advertised. The location was easily accessible and close to local attractions and restaurants. The cottage was beautifully decorated and had all the necessary essentials available. Our host, Megan, was very easy to communicate with and provided detailed instructions on everything we needed to know both in advance and during our stay. Her special little touches throughout the cottage were greatly appreciated including the Welcome snack basket and card. ❤️

Book it.

Superb property. I don’t usually leave reviews for properties but this place is amazing. We felt welcomed by the host. She even wrote a welcome card with a special message for my wife. Extremely quiet and peaceful area. We walked less than 100 yards to a really good Breakfast Buffet at a charming Victorian Bed and Breakfast right across the street. The house felt brands new. Very clean.

Excellent Cottage Perfect for Couples

This cottage is perfect for couples and single adventurers looking for a clean, well-equipped place to stay central to all the best sights and food of Gloucester. Meghan was quick to respond to our initial booking inquiry and all additional communications. The booking and check-in processes were simple and easy, and navigating to the cottage was a breeze. My partner and I arrived late in the night and Meghan made sure the outside light was left on which made unloading our vehicle so much easier. The cottage was immaculate – extremely clean – and we had a blast discovering various small touches and details placed for guests. The cottage is just a short drive from many Gloucester attractions, restaurants, and activities which made getting to and from the cottage quick and easy. I would highly recommend considering this cottage if traveling with a spouse/partner or solo. Meghan is an excellent host!
