Property was well maintained. On beautiful grounds, beautiful beach view, such a peaceful location, would recommend to anyone looking for a quaint lil get a way.
We had a great stay! Our hostess greeted us on arrival and was very welcome. She left us bakery cookies and scones.It truly was only a 5 minute walk to Good Harbor Beach. Our host provided a beach cart with 2 beach chairs and an umbrella, making it so easy to load everything we needed for a day at the beach.Near lots of places to eat both casual and upscale as well as other beaches. Being so close to the ocean there was a wonderful breeze so we never turned the air conditioning on. Loved the sun on the deck for our morning coffee and hearing the sound of the surf at night. Lovely gardens. We would definitely return!
This is a lovely accomodation. Beautiful view of the ocean. A short 5 min walk to Good Harbor Beach. The house is located on a well traveled road so there is a little bit of traffic noise. The hosts are lovely people, available but not intrusive. A walk up the road will take you along the coastline with gorgeous views of the Atlantic. The location is excellent, quick trips to both Bearskin Neck and Rocky Neck. Cape Ann is gorgeoux!

I have spent the equivalent of 2 years cumulatively at Garden by the sea. The property is superbly located and the view of Good Harbor Beach is world class. But more importantly than anything is the property owners. Bob and Madeline are as fine of people that you will ever encounter. Kind, Gracious, and Helpful. I feel completely at home when I am staying at Garden By The Sea.
