Great spot in the middle of everything. Whether you're just looking for a place to stay at and enjoy the beach or if you need a last minute rental for a Beauport wedding, this is a great spot to stay and would highly recommend.P.S there's a breakfast spot that opens @ 5am & a liquor/cigar shop that opens at 8am right next door. What more could you need?

We had such a wonderful stay in Gloucester! The home was spotless and beautifully maintained — every detail was thoughtfully prepared. The space was decorated for Halloween, which made it feel extra cozy and festive during our visit. The amenities were fantastic and made our stay super comfortable. We especially loved the fresh flowers — such a welcoming touch! The host was incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful with local recommendations. Overall, this was one of the best VRBO experiences we’ve had. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again!

Perfectly located. Very sweet to live behind a flower shop! Convenient to train stop. Train noise absolutely not a problem in fact a quaint clank on the rails as it passes by. Just note that there is a steep staircase to bedrooms and bathroom. The outside garden was lovely.

Heather was a wonderful host. She answered all our questions and had everything ready for us, plus some extras when we arrived. It was a lovely place to stay and I would highly recommend. Being right across from the train station and also walking distance to a grocery store was an added bonus! The bakery next door was also amazing.

My stay was for an extended weekend and this property was exactly what I needed. The house was clean, spacious for our group, and there were a lot of cute added touches (candy, witch hats) The communication was great with the hosts. They were very attentive, friendly and fast to respond to all needs. Location was perfect, right across from train station and close to restaurants and bars.

Wonderful experience

We couldn't have asked for a better place or more gracious hosts. The house is beautiful, clean and well appointed-- Heather and Wayne have thought of everything. There were seasonal decorations to greet us and everything is bright and new. The location was just right for us. We wanted to be able to walk to the beach and to downtown Gloucester, and there are restaurants and a grocery store a short walk away.

Myself and 2 childhood friends stayed in this house for 3 nights. The location was perfect. Many restaurants, bagel shop, Shaws supermarket and the Gloucester train station were all within walking distance. The house itself was absolutely amazing. Beautifully decorated and many lovely touches made us feel at home. Heather and Way e were the perfect hosts! I would highly recommend this home if you plan on visiting the Gloucester, Rockport and Salem areas. We will definitely be back in the future.

This property is so lovely and the owners are so gracious! The location can't be beat! Walking distance to a fun club, restaurants and a yummy bakery! Everything inside the house is new and we loved the layout. I was in charge of planning and I get nervous with this kind of stuff. Exceeded expectations!! There are two sitting areas outside each with fabulous flowers. Lots of little touches and plenty of towels! Wayne and Heather provided some dinner and entertainment suggestions~such great hosts! Would love to go back someday!

Extraordinary Hosts!!!

I must say in all of my VRBO stays I have never come across such incredible hosts… Wayne & Heather went above and beyond to make our stay perfect for us. Every need was met, every question (& then some) answered, their kindness & concern was their number one priority to make our stay perfect. The house is a brand new rental & tastefully renovated, very comfortable for my husband, myself and young adult children. Full disclosure, I was a little surprised when pulling up to the location, you park in a parking lot next to a florist shop with a fence hiding the house but once you walk through the gate all your needs are met! Across the street from the train station to Boston & Rockport & walking distance from grocery, liquor store & area restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by Wayne Peatfield

Host profile image
Heather is originally from Salem Ma and Wayne is From East Boston. We both love Gloucester very much which is why we bought our property there? We both enjoy going to the beach and relaxing. It is very fun to host families coming to the glass area and showing them different areas of the North Shore to go and visit.

Why they chose this property

Our property is in the heart of Gloucester, which is great! We can walk to lots of restaurants, grocery stores, liquor, stores and coffee shops.

What makes this property unique

Even though we are in the heart of Gloucester, our court yard is such a quiet cozy spot to relax in. With all the renovations we recently did it makes this home a great space.
