Lovely stay

Beautiful area right near the cove which was great for our dog and us.. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable, linens were soft, and since our visit was during the wintertime, we were very happy that the house was well heated.

Great Stay!

I spent two weeks in the property and loved it. The host was immediately available and one issue with the heat was addressed right away. Cute place with great New England vibes. I was able to work from the property with no issues as well. Beautiful walk down to the cove and a very short drive up the road to the State Park. Great location!

Lovely stay

We had a lovely stay with our two dogs. The property was as described and the host was very responsive and generous in their interactions with us. The home was quaint and cozy and provided us with a lovely location to spend Thanksgiving together. The beach is a five minute walk from the home and lovely even in the off season.

Lovely, quiet get away

My friends and I had a lovely time at the house. It was quiet, sunny, and a nice break. It was nice to be close to options, but still quite secluded. We went for runs each morning, and enjoyed soaking up the warmth in the sunroom/patio area.

Wonderful Find in a Great Location!

We stayed for a quick trip to Mass. and wanted something nearby lots of good areas. We hadn’t stayed in Gloucester before but LOVED it, and it was easy to get to Salem and Rockport! The host was friendly and helpful and responded to us quickly! The house was very clean and perfect for our trip. We loved the charm and all the furniture was comfortable. We are already talking about wanting to go back!

Perfect!

We came to visit Salem and Boston during this trip, & decided to stay here to be close enough but also get an East Coast local vibe. Easy location to get to our desired locations, and we loved being so close to Plum Cove Beach. Pebble Beach was a quick drive too, which we also enjoyed. The property was clean & everything worked as it should. We did not have to contact the host at all except to let her know we had departed (as requested in check out instructions). Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Lovely New England Cottage

Clean and cozy cottage, typical of renovated 1900’s era homes. While there were a few “glitches”, Christine addressed them immediately. The photo of the upstairs bathroom does not really do it justice. It is a spacious bathroom with a lovely antique vanity. Shower worked for me - but I am on the short side. Would definitely stay again!
