Gloucester, Massachusetts
Just a few steps to a white sandy beach called 'Long Beach' you will immediately be drawn to the gorgeous views of 'Twin Lights' (Lighthouses) and the rocky seashore that surrounds you.
Gloucester is a place to see, feel and experience history. The working waterfront and beauty have drawn fisherman, families, artists and visitors for hundreds of years.
Enjoy a Whale watching tour and bring your fishing pole and enjoy the freshest catch! Haddock, cod and tuna can be enjoyed from the Whale Watching and Deep Sea Fishing boats.
Lighthouses date from the 1780's, and the historic downtown has over 75 restaurants serving all kinds of cuisine along with the 'freshest' of seafood.
Galleries, world class museums and the period architecture will enthrall you.
Meet artists in America's oldest working artist colony on nearby Rocky Neck.
Come and experience Cape Ann!
'Long Beach' is a protected stretch of fabulous ocean and white sand, perfect for sunbathing, walking, shelling and even surfing! Great waves! Just a 2 minute walk from the cottage.
From Long Beach, which is steps from the cottage, you can easily see 'Twin Lights' on Thatcher's Island as shown in photo.
*'Good Harbor Beach' (walking distance from the cottage) is a 1/2 mile long barrier beach with a rocky shore and a salt marsh which is protected by sand dunes. Small shrub covered rocky 'Salt Island' is accessible at low tide.
*These 2 beaches are nestled in secluded coves with white sand and stretch for miles.

Great property. Very nice host and the location was great for Salem, Rockport, and even Boston. Loved every minute
The house was great we had 3 small issues 1 think the owners should stress more that the stairs from parking area are the only way in. Having knee problems it was an issue 2 The step into the kitchen could be marked with yellow tape. One older relative had a bad fall on it 3 A minor issue….. the coffee pot does not turn off automatically and we went off leaving it on. It ended ok but could have been a real problem None of these are huge issues but would be helpful for future rental
The home was beautiful and clean, just steps from the beach! We had a wonderful week in Cape Ann. Thank you!
My partner and I had a lovely vacation at your home. The house had everything we needed and was right down the street from the beach. We especially enjoyed the front patio. My only suggestion for improvement would be to make clear in the listing that this is not a private home; there is a resident staying downstairs. The resident did not disrupt us at all (in fact she was quite friendly and even helped us!) but it would be good to have an accurate listing.
Comfortable and spacious/cozy house in a quiet neighborhood off the beaten path near Good Harbor Beach. We enjoyed our stay and would like to come back. Gloucester/maritime decor.
Property was wonderful, and close to 2 beaches- we visited both! Great communication with owner and house was as advertised. Thanks for a very nice stay!
Our family just had a fabulous time! The house is clean, well-appointed, and you can't beat the location. Of course, it didn't hurt that the weather was fantastic too. Thanks so much for a great week, it was just what we needed.
We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend some time at the beach! The house is great, the yard is gorgeous and it's an easy walk to the beach and Dairy Maid =).
A perfect location between two beaches.
The location in superb only steps from the trail to Long Beach. The property was clean and roomy and great for separation especially if there are inclement weather days. They provide all of the linens and the kitchen was well stocked. There are 2 TV's both small, which is no matter to me as I don't watch much but for those who like large TV's they may be disappointed. The whole experience was great and I highly recommend.
