Quiet, charming place to stay small minor fixes
We love the view outside the back deck, and the town right around the corner. The castle on Gloucester is a must see

Hi, Ada. Thank you for providing us with this valuable feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the amenities and location of our home. We thank you for your feedback, as it helps us improve our guests' experiences. We look forward to welcoming you back for another fabulous getaway in the future.
This is a great property. The only issue we had was trouble with the key pad/lock on the door, but we were able to get ahold of the property management and they were able to help us get in.
Great proximity to Downtown Gloucester, comfortable house for a group, beautiful views behind the house. The bottom bunk of the bunkbed might be the most uncomfortable bed we've ever slept in as adults, but kids probably wouldn't bat an eye. Basement would be more fun to hang out in if it wasn't so musty. Ultimately, it worked just fine for our group attending a weekend wedding in Essex.

Thank you, Kira, for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed this home. We sincerely apologize for the issues you have encountered during your stay. We'll continue to work closely with both our local staff and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.
Great little family stay. The backyard faces a preserved marshland with a quiet natural setting where one can see flocks of cranes and egrets stalking about. The house gets you close to the front door of the famous Gloucester Blvd. and provides safe retreat in a quiet neighborhood with ample parking and easy access to all the great restaurants along 133. House was impressively clean and cozy. Well appointed with a nice kitchen and a comfortable deck. Quite the jackpot!
