Great location close to beach. Very clean and tidy. This is a 1910 cottage with original pine floors that has been lovingly updated with new kitchen, a wraparound deck, and comfortable seating. Parking space is limited and road is quite narrow but there is room for a fourth car to squeeze in. We were there in late September so neighborhood was very quiet.

This is a one-of-a-kind, wonderful cottage with magnificent views over the marsh, to the ocean. An easy walk to Good Harbor Beach, it is well-supplied with everything guests could want or need. Laura, the host, is beyond welcoming and gracious. I will keep returning every year for as long as space is available.

This was our 3rd stay at Howard Cottage and we have already booked next year. The house was clean and well furnished. The proximity to the beach is great. No worries about parking or making reservations to get on the beach, just a 7 minute walk as advertised. Our host was always just a phone call away and very responsive.

Howard’s Cottage was exactly as depicted in the photos. The cottage is cozy, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Our host was accessible and timely in her communications. Our favorite features: proximity to the beach, the well-stocked kitchen (we prepared meals just about every night!), the deck, our host’s notes & communication, and the ease of exploring Gloucester from the house. We hope to return one day soon!

The cottage was adorable and the outdoor space was absolutely perfect! For early June, especially in the evenings, we didn’t notice the lack of air conditioning on the first floor. This property was well-stocked with everything we could’ve needed and the owner was quick to respond. Thank you so much!

My family and I were lucky enough to stay here for a weekend getaway and it is as beautiful as it looks in the photos! The view of the marshes with the ocean in the distance is amazing and it is so peaceful to take in the wildlife from the deck. The house is beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything you may need. Our host was accommodating and responsive and you can feel how much she loves the cottage/area. The beach is only a short walk around the corner! We are already thinking about making another trip and hope to be able to stay again. Thanks for a great trip!
