Our favorite place !
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and it's our favorite in Gloucester. This home was so comfortable, after 3 weeks we still didn't want to leave. There was so much to do in Gloucester ; whale watching, subs at Destino's, great Italian pastries at Virgilio's, fish and chips at the Causeway and picnics at Stage Fort Park, but we were always happy to walk the Boulevard and say hello to friendly locals and return to our home away from home that was absolutely sparkling clean and quiet. Honestly there was no way we would have been able to stay that long if we hadn't been so happy and comfortable. All the extra touches were much appreciated and we enjoyed reading the history of the house and family. We can't wait to go back!
The home is clean and cozy comfy, and it has everything needed for a wonderful stay. The yard is big and the porches are great to relax outside. It's close to alot of sightseeing places. We so enjoyed our stay.
Cane for a family wedding and it was the perfect Property

Perfect spot
We had a group of 5 stay here while we went on a fishing trip and the place was perfect! It was nice to sit in some rockers and relax after a long day on the water. The house was well equipped for all of us and the check in/out process was seamless. Would definitely stay again!

Great place to stay!
Highly recommend! The house was lovely and had everything you need to make a great vacation. Very close to downtown area as well.
Great place to stay and close to beach and easy drive to train stations. The house was perfectly clean and did not disappoint. Everything you need is there. We were comfortable and felt right at home. The quick drive to the train station was great for spending a day in Boston and Salem.
The property had so much charm. Most importantly, it was very clean and had everything we needed. Stocked with toilet paper, etc. and the communication with the owner made things easy. Very responsive and accommodating. Definitely would stay there again and recommend it to others.

Clean quiet home
Home was very clean. Located about 1.3 miles from downtown Gloucester. Quiet area. Kitchen is stocked well if you want to run to market and grab food to cook. Took us about 20 minutes to drive to Salem and 45-55 to Boston depending on traffic. Close to Hammond Castle and 15min drive to Rockport. So a great location! About 1.5 hrs to lizzy Borden house. All must sees and doable from this location! Would definitely stay here again.
