About this property

Peaceful retreat, newly-renovated, short walk to Good Harbor Beach + WIFI

Enjoy your vacation sojourn in this newly-renovated home, a short walk to one of New England's most beautiful beaches. This cozy turn-of-the-last-century American Foursquare home is the perfect place to relax and spend time with family or friends.

The main floor features a fully-equipped eat-in kitchen with a granite-topped table for six and ceiling fan. Though there is no central air, Gloucester is surrounded by ocean and delightfully cool in the summer.

Spacious living room has a full-size couch, chair-and-a-half, and matching ottoman (in which are stored board games). TV and stereo system include Bluetooth and HDMI connectivity. Bring your computer or other devices for easy access to your music, movies, etc. Reading, playing board games, stargazing, and walking on the beach are preferred evening and rainy day entertainment. Cellular based Wi-Fi included!

Private fenced-in backyard, deck off of the living room with umbrella table for your morning coffee or evening supper.

Three private bedrooms on the second floor comfortably sleep 6 people (1 queen, 1 full, day bed that transforms into a queen). Full bath includes shower and tub. Towels, hair dryer, linens, pillows, and bedding are provided.

Half bathroom and washer and dryer are in the basement for your convenience. Clothesline in the backyard for hanging out towels and swimsuits to dry after a day or evening at the beach.

2 private parking spaces.

Walk to Little Good Harbor Beach in 10 minutes. Along the way you can pick up your coffee or picnic at Cape Ann Coffee and Stop & Shop right up the street. CVS is there for your sunscreen. Nearby are casual restaurants and walk-up ice cream shop.

Downtown Gloucester is walking/biking distance, with great shopping, dining and nightlife.

Nice vacation home with lots of little extras
We had a nice time staying here. We particularly appreciated the little extras - coffee, tea, condiments and spices in the kitchen, choice of cloth napkins or thick paper ones, large basket of beach towels by the door, a hose to rinse of sand in the back, different patterned towels so each person can tell their own. Warning: the half bath is down a flight of stairs, past the basement laundry and it has a very low ceiling (about 5'4") but you will need to use it since the only other bathroom is upstairs, shared with all three bedrooms.

Great Location!
We enjoyed our stay at Daniel and Carol's house. Choosing Gloucester was a good move for us, location-wise. This house was welcoming, very clean and warm. The pamphlets and literature on the area were very helpful. The house is close to many good restaurants. Our hosts have thought of many things to have on hand for families including lots of games and a doll house. We were very comfortable and felt safe in the neighborhood. Thank you Daniel and Carol.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel & Carol

Host profile image
We grew up in Chicago on the big lake. Living in New England we have raised our children to enjoy the ocean. Cape Ann has been our get-away destination. It is quaint, friendly, low-key, and easy to get to from the city.

Why they chose this property

We love the beach and we love Gloucester. We have spent vacation time through all seasons with our family at Good Harbor beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in New England. We always dreamed of owning a home near the ocean now we do. We put a lot of TLC into making this vacation home the relaxing and beautiful oasis that it is. We would love to open our home to you, so you too, can create many memories at Gloucester!

What makes this property unique

We live in a tiny condo in downtown Boston, with our only private outdoor space a fire escape. Our sons share a bedroom. We love the fact that our Gloucester home has both a front and back porch and three upstairs bedrooms. The house is a peaceful private get-away for us any time of year. When we walk through the front door, we immediately smile and relax.
