We decided to take a quick trip to the Gloucester/Rockport area to visit a college friend. I’ve never spent time in this area and decided to come on a whim after watching a food show profiling the food in this area. What a lovely town and enhanced by staying in this lovely appointed home. This home is well equipped and comfortable. Marta, the owner, was quick to respond with any of our queries. It is in a great location - walking distance to the town and Old Garden Beach. Picturesque town with lots of galleries to peruse and just walk around and enjoy nature. Highly recommend this house and visiting this town!
