Super clean- this is the most important aspect of a vacation rental to me. The beaches weren't really walking distance and out of state people have to pay 40 for parking and reserve in advance. But the beaches, stores and restaurants are still close enough. Overall great stay, beautiful property

8/10 Good

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
The property is beautiful and it's in a great location! The reason it's not a 5 star experience for us is because the communication was very limited. I had texted a question to the provided phone number and no one ever responded. Also the cooking pans in the house are very worn so we didn't feel comfortable cooking anything on them, you may want to bring your own. There is also no kettle available for hot water. We were there with our child so we had to try to find small toys under coaches and there was so much dust under there but the working surfaces and bathrooms were all clean. Overall because of the fantastic location though and the comfortable home we would return just bring several more items than we normally travel with.

Made contact twice requesting early check in and no one responded. Had issue with door code and lock to get in initially and had to call. Was told where key was instead. Who needs or wants issues getting in upon arrival for vacation?? Next day received apology text and said would try to stop by and fix it. No one came or contacted me again. Many previous reviews mentioned door lock issues think would have been solved by now. House is ready for a bit more cleaning especially under furniture, corners and windows. I was expecting better from previous reviews. House to left(shared driveway) has a lot of junk to look at, eyesore. Stay was acceptable overall for 2 nights.

This home was the perfect base for our short trip to Gloucester. It was well furnished, with comfy beds, nice laundry room, and a quiet neighborhood. A couple more towel hooks in the bathrooms and some more supplies in the kitchen would enhance the experience for future guests. We were happy with our stay!!

Wonderful place to stay

The house was beautiful and had a well stocked kitchen for those that like to cook. It was like having a home away from home. Lots of reataurants in the area and grocery store very close. Short drive to Boston or Salem. Beautiful area will definitely be back to explore more when the weather is nicer and can enjoy a whale watch.

Overall good stay

Loved all the extra blankets and towels. Beautiful home. Couple weird things (only one shower worked and it was difficult getting into the house with the code.) the house is beautiful and in a great location though.

Hi Megan, thank you for your feedback! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the extra blankets and towels, as well as the beautiful home and its great location. Our local operations manager mentioned that they couldn't replicate the issues with the e-lock, and housekeeping reported no problems during their cleaning, suggesting it may have been user error. They have also updated the parking instructions. We will coordinate with the owner to have a plumber check the shower, and please note that each room has its own heating and cooling unit with remotes for control. We appreciate your comments and are dedicated to improving your experience!

Very clean house and spacious. Nicely decorated and bright. Comfortable furnishings. Outdoor grill was clean and worked great. Perfect location, close to downtown Gloucester and other destinations this beautiful area has to offer. The Vacasa team was easy to contact and very helpful with answers to any questions or concerns.
