Carey’s place was wonderful. The unit was clean, well stocked and close to all Cape Ann has to offer. My dog loved walking to the waterfront every morning at the nearby Marine Station. The hosts were also very kind and responsive. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking to stay in the area.

Can't say enough good things about this place. We stayed here 3 years ago and fell in love with it. Carey is very accommodating. She even reached out to see if we needed her to get stuff for us before we arrived. Communication has always been great with her as well. Hopefully we can stay there again in a couple more years. My daughter, I, and now my granddaughter we all love New England in the fall. Definitely our home away from home

Cozy apartment in Gloucester - really the best for location, amount of space available, privacy and the owner's attention to details make our stay very comfortable. It was well stocked with the things that we forgot. We'll keep this rental in mind for future Gloucester stays.

Family getaway in Gloucester

I have stayed in many places around the country and in the Carribean, but this home in Gloucester was one of my favorites! The home was so clean, well stocked and nicely decorated. The owner even went out of her way to get us items for breakfast. The home is also close to a lot of the must see spots in the area. The bed and pull out were very comfortable as well! We loved having breakfast and coffee on the deck. We will absolutely be back!!

Gloucester Wonderful spot with indoor and outdoor space

Our Host was fabulous- let us check in early and left us some essentials in the fridge, which was not expected but so thoughtful. Bedroom was lovely with very cozy and beautiful linens. Really great spot. Would def return. Our dogs loved the accessibility to a dog beach , a few min walk away. Will def return

Super welcoming and personable

Our host was very accommodating as we requested last minute arrangements. She graciously shared her vacation rental and suggestions regarding the area! She welcomed our two English Bulldogs as well. We loved the goodies she provided us and would have spent more time in the area if possible. It was a wonderful stop on our summer road trip! I hope to visit again in the future.

Salem/Gloucester Vacay

Careyann’s apartment is exactly as described! It’s cute, cozy, felt very private and there’s a beautiful view of the ocean. It had everything we needed including breakfast items. Careyann went above and beyond. She was helpful with anything we needed during our stay. We enjoyed getting to chat with her and meet her beautiful pups! We would definitely stay again! I highly recommend!

Dream Perch

Words are not enough to describe the charm and thoughtful details of this canopy abode! This was my first time staying in a short-time rental versus a motel/hotel...and absolutely prefer it...Spotless, sunny, top floor apartment on a hill in a very quiet north shore neighborhood perched above main road for easy access, with fabulous ocean breezes, well-equipped kitchen (with snacks and sundries), great natural light, and views of the Atlantic Ocean and rooftops worthy of Edward Hopper. I loved the views so much, I even painted from one of the windows! Easy walking distance to Plum Cove Beach and Lighthouse Beach, Annisquam, and Lanesville. Ceiling fans in every room, great smelling and super clean, luxurious bed and linens, and well-kept easy in/out off-street parking. Loved the outdoor deck with flexible shade. I was traveling to Cape Ann solo, and this felt so protected and safe. Would totally return. Owner lives downstairs - friendly, highly communicative, and generous with tips only a local person plus even took me on a tour (since i was solo and it was my first time on Cape Ann!) showing highlights of Gloucester and hidden treasures. It's been five days since I've returned home but I still dream of this place and my time there. I would totally stay here again.

Mother/ Daughter getaway to Salem

My daughter and I fell in love the moment we opened the door. Especially when she found some gluten free snacks in the baskets on the counter. 😁 This place is everything you could ask for CLEAN, COMFORTABLE, and COZY. Communication with Carey was great. She was quick to answer any questions we had. I told her we would be going to Salem she had some pamphlets laid out for us to look over of all the local happenings in Salem and the surrounding areas. Really helped us figure out our game planned. My daughter and I hope to come back sometime. There is so much more we would love to see. Thank You Carey!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Carey

Host profile image
I grew up at this property. Moved away only to return and purchase this home that I love.
It, like everything else, is a work in progress. Always evolving for the better.

Why they chose this property

This rental has everything you need. It is literally turn key, in this case, code entry. You walk in and you are already at home. It's cozy and although isn't a large apartment, the high ceilings give a sense of spacious comfort.

What makes this property unique

The benefit of having owner occupied rental is that if for some reason there's something you need that isn't there. We are ready to accommodate. We probably have what ever you are looking for. With the rental on the top floor, you have great views and don't have to worry abut people walking above you!
