This 3-level, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom, recently renovated, beach-themed condo is fully stocked and features 2 unique outdoor spaces. Located right between 2 of Cape Ann’s most amazing beaches — Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester and Long Beach in Rockport — Take your pick — no need to drive or pay for beach parking, as both beaches are just a short walk away!

The space:

We are located 40 miles north of Boston in historic Gloucester, perfectly nestled betweenGood Harbor Beach in Gloucester and Long Beach in Rockport.

Our vacation home is fully furnished and available for summer weekly vacations, as well as long weekends, weekly stays, and short-term off-season getaways.

Indoor features include 3 levels of cozy and comfortable living:

The main level features an updated, fully stocked kitchen with an open-concept layout into the living room, along with a half bathroom. The living room includes a gas fireplace, 50+” flat-screen TV, two full-sized couches (one pulls out for additional sleeping if needed), and a full-sized screened slider leading out to the front deck.

The second level has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each bedroom includes a queen bed, closet space, plenty of storage, and its own private full bathroom with a bathtub/shower. Linens, bedding, and towels are provided during your stay. We also can provide a pack n play if needed.

The third floor living space features a spiral staircase leading to the loft. This room includes two queen beds, two rollaway cots, a TV, built-in book nook, and built-in desk. Many kids love this space as their own private area to relax and hang out away from the adults!

The entry level includes a washer and dryer for your use, along with extra beach towels for those days when you want to head back to the beach again and again.

Outdoor features include unique spaces for relaxing:

The main level has a walkout to the front deck with a bistro table and two chairs.

Off the kitchen is a walkout to the back patio, featuring a dining table, BBQ, outdoor furniture, fire pit, and outdoor shower.

Above the back patio, you’ll find the garden ledge surrounded by beautiful granite rock features. This peaceful space includes a hammock and a relaxing area perfect for reading, lounging, or enjoying the surroundings.

Your rental includes cable TV, Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, linens, beach cart, beach chairs, classic board games, and plenty of books for lazy days reading on the beach, relaxing around the home, or enjoying the hammock.

Guest access:

You have full access to this entire condo unit, with parking available for 4–5 cars in the driveway. Street parking is also available.

Other things to note:

Week-long rentals are preferred from end of June through beginning of September (Saturday check-in).

This home has three staircases and may not be suitable for all guests with mobility limitations:

Approximately 14 steps from the entry level to the main living area.
Approximately 14 steps from the living area to the bedrooms.
A spiral staircase leading to the third-floor loft.

Guests traveling with toddlers may want to bring their own baby gates. Guests with difficulty using stairs should consider this layout when planning their stay.

This property is one half of a duplex home (two separate condos), and we live in the other half.

The home is equipped with window A/C units in each of the three bedrooms and one in the living room. Ceiling fans are located in the living room, kitchen, and both primary bedrooms. Additional fans are available in the loft if needed. For the most comfortable stay in the heat of the summer, we recommend keeping windows closed and running the A/C when needed.

The home is located on a busier coastal road with Thatcher Pond directly across the street. There are no sidewalks, but the area is very familiar with beach traffic and pedestrians. We are approximately 0.44 miles from both Long Beach and Good Harbor Beach — both are an easy, short walk away.

    Oh my goodness, my family had the most wonderful beach vacation at this cozy, welcoming rental. Every detail was thoughtfully provided, making it feel like a true home away from home. The host made us feel cared for, and we are already looking forward to coming back next year!!!

    We had a great vacation at Between2beaches! The house is immaculately clean and well cared for. Joanne and Jim are great hosts and it is evident they enjoy sharing their rental with guests. I’ve never been in such a well appointed rental. We love the Gloucester/Rockport area and our biggest challenge vacationing there is finding suitable affordable housing for the vacation. Between2 beaches was perfect for us. Thanks again, Joanne and Jim for a fantastic stay!Dawn and Dan

    Spectacular! We have stayed in many rental properties but never have we had the extreme attention to detail and top notch hospitality as we experienced at Between 2 Beaches. The home is lovingly appointed and every detail and comfort item has been anticipated and provided. Kitchen is well stocked, bathrooms have necessities plus plus, oodles of towels and linens, beach gear, you name it. The owners live next door and were friendly and kind when we bumped into them (but not at all intrusive.) Truly a stay for the ages. Oh - and the location is as lovely as it gets. Good Harbor Beach is the best on the planet IMHO, Long Beach is also lovely, and having the sub/pizza shop and ice cream spot steps away from the home was so convenient and fun. A perfect trip! Thanks to Joanne and Jim for hosting us so graciously!

    We had a lovely stay at between 2 beaches. The hosts are extremely attentive and available, but not intrusive. The house is clean, comfortable and well equipped. And we love the area. It’s on a busier road but you don’t feel it.

    There were up to nine of us staying here and we had such a great time! Jim and Joanne were wonderful hosts and were quick to answer any questions and help with whatever we needed. House was clean and well stocked. Location was perfect - very quick walk to beaches. Outdoor spaces were perfect: a cool space for hanging out on hot days and a sunny space if you don't want to go to the beach. I have to say that of all the places I've rented via VRBO and other companies Jim and Joanne were by far the best hosts I've ever rented from. Would absolutely rent from them again! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

    Our family of 4 (2 parents, 2 teens) had an amazing week at Between 2 Beaches! The rental was so thoughtfully stocked (so many little extra touches you don’t typically find), and the hosts were the best- friendly, helpful, communicative. We loved all the interior space, the beds were comfy, there were plenty of beach items (chairs, towels, beach games, etc), and the house even included lots of lovely bonus finds, like tons of board games and books. Jim & Joanne really thought of everything. We would return in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful vaca!

    This is a great community and the beaches are so gorgeous. First time to the east coast and we were very impressed The house had literally every amenity you could want including some unexpected treats and toys. Beach toys and chairs came in handy. Its very easy to walk to the beaches. The stores are close and easy too. The house accommodated our family perfectly! Plenty of space. Thank you for your hospitality!

    We had a fantastic time! This house is the most ‘ready to enjoy and relax’ rentals we stayed in our 18+ years of renting houses on the East Coast. Walking distance to two pristine Beaches : 7 min to GoodHarbor Beach and 5 min to Long Beach. Appreciated walking back home for lunch. Went with my husband and 2 daughters 18 and 21 and my parents. The owners went over and above to make sure we had everything we needed - thank you Joanne and Jim! (Only warning: the 2 beds on the second floor can be tricky to access if you are not fit and might not suitable for toddlers because of the open staircase.) Do not hesitate if you are looking for a great spot to explore Rockport/Gloucester. We highly recommend:)
