The Sand Dollar Beach House on Private Beach, easy access to all watersports.

If you like smores,lobsters and sunsets then take a trip to the Sand dollar! We just had an amazing vacation in Gloucester at this wonderful family home nestled right on tbe beach! Sip some winecoolers and watch the sunsets or swim in your own cove! Explore this seaside town rich in history and kick back on the deck! Thank you Kim and Jesse for sharing your home! Neighbors John and Lindsay are so sweet too! Hope to come again someday!

There simply isn't a better place to enjoy the setting sun, on your own private beach no less. Kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, shell hunting . . . it's all here. This was our fourth year back, and I already can't wait until next summer.

Kim & Jesse’s place couldn’t have been a better fit for us. We’re a family of 5 with our dog. Private beach, breathtaking sunsets, wonderful neighbors, comfortable living & sleeping spaces. Our week in Gloucester was one of the best family trips we’ve had & the Sand Dollar House is one of the main reasons why. Kim & Jesse are so hospitable and always available for any questions or needs. They even helped us find a fantastic babysitter for our kids so we could go out on a kayak date with our friends!

This was meant to be a relaxing week and it certainly was that. The cottage was well equipped both inside and out. We can’t say enough about the beach and large deck where we spent the majority of our time, looking over the water, watching every glorious sunset.

This was an amazing vacation! The beach is beautiful, the water is warmer than most anywhere on the cape as it is in a Cove. We took a day trip to Good Harbor Beach there were some waves that day, but the water was so much colder we didn't want to spend much time in it. We stayed at the Sand Dollar for the rest of our vacation and it was fabulous. We had planned other day trips but nobody wanted to leave the beach.It is so awesome not to have to pack up and carry things to the beach. You can run up to the house in under a minute to get drinks and food, there is also a cooler by the beach that we kept drinks in. Don't forget your life jacket so that you can use the Kayaks. There is a tandem kayak and two singles. We had a blast exploring the cove and coast line and using a mask,snorkel to explore underwater. There is even an outdoor rinsing station with hot and cold water. Be careful though the water in the hose gets very hot from the sun so when it starts up it's hotter than expected. The sunsets are so breathtakingly spectacular you need to experience them from the beautiful deck. Next year we hope to bring our scuba gear as it is such easy access. It is very private and we feel comfortable leaving our scuba gear close to the beach, and the rinsing station would make it so easy to rinse all of our gear. I have been told that there is a mooring if you happen to have a boat. There's so much sea life and we saw people catching fish from the University of Massachusetts Marine station pier right next door I think I'll bring a fishing rod next time. Things you may like to bring:*mask, snorkel, fins. *Rafts to float around on. *Fishing poles. *Personal flotation devices (life jackets).* *Sun shelter for children.
