Lovely, comfortable home
Our family of 4 and sometimes 5 adults., with 3 young children, thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Stacey was exceptionally responsive to every question and need. The house is comfortable, spacious, and convenient to everything—shops, restaurants, and beautiful Singing Beach. We were there for 3 weeks and didn’t want to leave!

A Perfect Vacation Location!
A beautiful and very comfortable location for our large family vacation. Perfectly appointed with everything we could need - including beach towels and tennis racquets to use on the courts right across the road from the house. The beach and village are within walking distance, but Stacey will very graciously secure a beach parking pass for your car! The weather was so incredibly hot and humid during our week, but we were so comfortable with air conditioning in our bedrooms and many fans in the house - even one on the porch that gave us a most wonderful breeze and kept the mosquitoes away each evening. We (all 9 of us plus our three pups) loved our stay and highly recommend "Brook-By-The-Sea".

Wonderful home in an ideal location!
This is a fantastic house in a great location. Clean, comfortable, has all the amenities you need, and tons of space to spread out--we were able to host other family members staying in the area for dinner two nights--around 20 people--and never felt crowded, between the great fenced-in back yard seating, the family room, dining room, and the ample seating on the front porch. All very comfortable. It was the perfect place to host a group! We didn't have any young children with us, but if you do, they will enjoy the yard, swing set, and many "kid entertainment" options available. But it's a great house for adult groups, too. Stacey and her husband were SO nice and helpful with any questions we had prior to arrival or anything that came up during our stay. The town itself is charming, with some fun little shops and good dining options, and the two local beaches are great (and the house had beach chairs/umbrellas, which is great). If you're a Crane's beach fan (like we are), the drive is so easy and the beach passes in general are a nice bonus. I'd go back again, and would recommend it to anybody whose bed size/type needs align with what they have. Just a wonderful, fun place owned by very thoughtful, accommodating people!

About the host

Hosted by Stacey Lai

Host profile image
We love our town, our home and immediate neighborhood - if you are interested in having a private, fun and enjoyable week - this house is for you. It's healthy, sunny, active and a great place to relax and enjoy. Our rugs are beautiful and floors are amazing - but, we also love sandy feet. Do what you can to help maintain this great house in the excellent condition, but we also understand what it means to be comfortable. We love animals, birds and fresh roses. Our grass is organically kept green and the landscape is almost perfectly groomed. Eating on the front porch is our most favorite past time with friends and family. We're excited to share with the right family, person or group. We love our neighbors and location, you will too!

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location! The beach, the ocean, the harbor, the water, water, water! The sunset and sunrise from Singing Beach is amazing. Our village is on the harbor and filled with sweet shops, delicious restaurants and a great library, community center & grocery store. Walk to dinner, yoga and live music. This property is not for entertaining outside of the pre-approved guests. It's ideal for small gatherings and wonderful for families.

What makes this property unique

Tennis courts across from house with lights for fun extended night play, athletic field, great yard, porch & easy walk to Singing Beach! Walk to town, walk to train, walk to school and walk to church, beach, grocery store and more. Enjoy yoga, dinner, paddle boarding, fishing, tennis, the train to Boston/Gloucester/Rockport all within walking distance from the house.
