Golden Sands at Good Harbor: Just walk across the street to the beach.

Awesome location. The view from the wrap porch was spectacular! We all spent much time there. The rental was well equipped with everything we could possibly need. We appreciated the beach towels and chairs, boogie boards, and bocce balls. There were just 2 showers for the 7 bedrooms but the owner is hoping to add another. It was not a problem for us as we made it work. House was clean and beds were comfortable. The owner made us feel very welcome as he personally contacted us to make sure everything was ok. Good Harbor beach is my new favorite on the eastern coast. 7/12 of our family braved the cold water in low tide to walk to the island. We did Cape Ann whale watching & saw 3 whales. Ate at Lobsta Land & Seaport Grill both of which were amazing. I would highly recommend this rental!

It is located just steps from Good Harbor Beach, and yet it is secluded behind a screen of trees for privacy. There are enough bedrooms to host multiple families at once, with all the cooking and serving equipment you could need and more. The vibe is rustic country cottage, which is a huge plus for our family. The views are excellent--especially from the covered porch, where everybody tends to congregate in any weather. It does lack some things that might be expected for such high rent, such as updated bathrooms and air conditioning--it gets uncomfortably hot on the 3rd floor during hot spells--however, for us it is just right.

One small complaint was there was not enough toilet paper for 14 people and under the beds there were a lot of dust balls but it but it certainly would not keep me from coming back.

The porch was fabulous. We spent most of our time there. The view was priceless and our family loved that they could walk to the beach. Gloucester and Rockport had much to offer in restaurants, gift shops and sightseeing.
