About this property

Goose Rocks, Charming Cottage!

Sunny & Charming!
Our lighthearted and fresh Goose Rocks Beach cottage is a few short blocks from the beach and around corner from the GRBA Community House. Flat screen TV; DVD player, WiFi. *NEW washer & dryer
Bedroom One - 1 Double Bed
Bedroom Two - 3 Twin Beds
Outdoor shower, front deck. BBQ. Exterior dining table. Beach Chairs.
Our cottage has been lovingly & lightly upgraded & is just a delightful place! Very clean, & bright. It's impossible not to have absolutely the most relaxing time here. A sweet spot & a short walk to the beach. A place to unwind, to watch the kids toddling on their bikes to tennis lessons at the nearby Community House or families parading by to the beach.

Delightful beach cottage!
A charming cottage for a family of 4 or 5 to enjoy! The decor is updated and “beach fresh” while maintaining the cottage’s original charm. Excellent location for a short walk to the beach or to the community center for tennis/playground. The outdoor shower has great water pressure and hot/cold levers to regulate temperature to your liking. The only downside is that the cottage does not have A/C and on very hot days, it does get stuffy even with the fans running. But the good news is that the house is filled with windows so if you open them, the ocean breezes cool things down at night.

Lovely Little Cottage
We enjoyed our stay here with our family of five. It was on the smaller side, especially with younger children, but suitable for what we needed as we spent the majority of the time on the beach! The neighborhood was very quiet and family-oriented. We enjoyed riding our bikes around. Everything was neat and clean. Some of the appliances/kitchenware could use an upgrade and the bathroom sink was a little wonky. The owner is very responsive to any issues. If you come with younger kids, I'd recommend bringing some games to play!

Great House
For a small house, the common areas are well designed, large, and open. Great dining area and living room. Close walk to the beach. Owner responds quickly to any questions. A classic Goose Rocks cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Glavin

Host profile image
We are New Englanders, our parents arrived at Goose Rocks in the 50's and built our cottage. We have happily and gratefully been coming here, now for 4 generations, from Massachusetts and Calif. every summer. This is the place for friends and families to reconnect, relax together... and apart - our true sentimental home. Also ... to eat as many lobsters and as much of E's blueberry pies as possible!

Why they chose this property

Our cottage has been lovingly & lightly upgraded & is just a delightful place! Very clean, & bright. It's impossible not to have absolutely the most relaxing time here. A sweet spot & a short walk to the beach. A place to unwind, to watch the kids toddling on their bikes to tennis lessons at the nearby Community House or families parading by to the beach.

What makes this property unique

A short walk to the 3 mile long beautiful, white sandy, Goose Rocks Beach, one of the finest beaches in N.E.. Magical Timber Island anchors one end, a place to navigate onto at low tide. The protected beach is a perfect area for kayaking, swimming - young & older alike enjoy the safe surf for all water activities.
Located around the corner from the Community House - see how it came to land on this site via a ride on the Atlantic. It's a central meeting place for all things summer - kids tennis, swimming lessons, & lots of activities for the whole family. The convenient General Store (still has movie rentals!) & blueberry muffins, is a quick bike ride along he beach. There are plenty of gorgeous spots to spread out to from the cottage.
