The house is great for a family gathering - it has a nice space for everyone to be together but is organized so that everyone also has a lot of privacy. Nice house and nice location!

Perfect Fall getaway

We came to the area to watch our daughters and their significant others run in the Salem half marathon. We had a wonderful weekend with family. We cooked meals and played games the space for enjoying time with family was absolutely wonderful. Located between Gloucester and Manchester we were able to enjoy the area as well.

Great location

Nice, clean 4 bedroom, 3 bath home with open floor plan. Off street parking, big back yard. Minutes from downtown Gloucester's & Manchester's restaurants, beaches and other activities. Some ocean views. Good for several people or just a couple. A great getaway spot in New England.

This house and location is perfection! We loved our stay and hope to come back again. Listening to the sounds of the ocean at night was as relaxing as could be.This house really has everything in it - there's a better stocked kitchen than at my house! We traveled with a one year old and a four year old - the house had everything: pack and play, pack and play mattresses, toys, high chair, kids cutlery and plates, safety items for sockets and doors, I could go on and on. There is no safety gate for the stairs but we blocked our curious toddler with the pack and play, and it worked perfectly. We would recommend staying here a million times over!

A Beautiful house for a beautiful trip

This home was the perfect retreat for our girls getaway. The house was very clean, welcoming, and had more than enough space for our group of 5. The view of the sea from the balcony was absolutely breathtaking and the neighborhood is like something from a movie. Rafal is a friendly and attentive host. Highly recommend this home to anyone planning a trip to the area!

The home was absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway of 6 adult cousins. There was plenty of room to relax and reconnect, and the location was perfect for our day trips to Salem and Rockport. The home was well stocked, clean, and maintained. Kudos to the host! I would highly recommend this home.

Great House, in a great Gloucester neighborhood. beautiful views of the ocean from the upstairs, and deck. House was clean, cozy and well furnished. Nice backyard to play with little kids, and good sized bedrooms. Owners were friendly and quick to respond. Easy check in and check out. I would stay here again, and recommend to everyone!

reunion with brother and sisters

We grew up in the 50's thru the 80's in nearby Lynn. Picked Rafaels house because of its location and open floor plan. Having 3 bedrooms each with a full bath was exceptional and a must have for our crowd of 2 married and one single. We enjoyed the deck and view of the ocean. very nice and would recomend the house to others.
