The house is cozy, very clean and well stocked . The location was convenient for us. The host was very helpful and answered right away when we had some questions. We would stay here again.
The Essex was exceptionally clean! The rooms were all beautifully done and the bed was comfortable! We ate at the Blue Marlin for dinner , the food was excellent and the service too!
Came up for a wedding in Gloucester, so Essex was a perfect place to stay. The whole unit was very clean and spacious. Had a full kitchen and full size fridge which was very helpful. Check-in was very easy and check out too. The unit is connected to another unit so you could hear others but nothing out of the ordinary! Enjoyed our stay and would stay here again if back in the area!
The host was really accessible and easy to communicate with. We had all the info we needed for an easy check-in. The house was exceptionally clean and quiet.

Our stay was wonderful The rooms were spotless. I would highly recommend the place. The only issue was a glitch trying to get in to the place. We called tech support and they provided the phone number to the owner, she called us after a bit and was very apologetic about the mix-up with the entrance to the VRBO. It had all the comforts of home.
Our stay at The Essex of Gloucester was amazing. The property was so clean and neat. Perfect location. The host Jackelyn was available to answer any questions we had. Can't wait for a repeat visit.
Great stay and perfectly met our needs. Inside of home was clean, organized and very comfortable. We were in town for a wedding and it was a great base.
