We had a great stay in Gloucester -as prior reviews noted, parking was a bit tight with a large vehicle but we were able to figure it out and a minor issue. The cottage was clean, comfortable, private-- a very sweet place to come home to after sunset at the nearby cove. Loved exploring Halibut Point, Gloucester, Rockport, etc. What a gorgeous spot!

The parking area is quite tight, could benefit from a bit more excavation. I wouldn't want to try to park a large SUV or Pickup there! Ideal location, it was very much what was advertised. One note, and this may be more oriented towards VRBO in general, but the fees for cleaning and processing seem rather exorbitant!

Relaxing Hideaway

This property was perfect! It was clean, comfortable and cozy. It was 2 miles from our family and we enjoyed being close to the water and town as well. The bed was comfortable, which isn't often the case in a rental. We didn't want to leave!

Nice winter getaway from the city

Boston can be rough in winter, especially having moved to Boston recently from a small town, so it was lovely to get out of the city and stay at Plum Cove. The little cottage was lovely and peaceful, and Cape Ann was an amazing locale to explore. Can’t wait to come back to the area this summer!
