We are offering a 4 night minimum May 29 - June 13 and again from September 12 - October 3.

You can enjoy any 4 - 7 nights between our Saturday - Saturday schedule.

Beachcomber Cottage is just a few steps to a lovely white sandy beach, (Long Beach) where 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.
It is America's oldest fishing port!
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 ocean and white sand, perfect for sunbathing, walking, shelling and even surfing! Great waves and 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.

Beachcomber has 3 bedrooms: 1 King bed, 1 Queen size bed and 2 Twin Size beds.
2 full bathrooms with shower/tub combo (1 on each level)

There is one entrance with steps up to the large deck which opens into the kitchen. (Please see photo) We apologize, but Beachcomber is not handicap accessible.

A few things to note:
'Beachcomber Cottage' sleeps a maximum of 6 (Total includes adults/children and toddlers).

We 'ONLY' allow 5 cars in the driveway at any time.
Parking is not allowed on Long Beach Road.
(You will be towed and ticketed)

We do not allow parties and expect our guests to be respectful of our wonderful neighbors who we have known for over 50 years.

Beachcomber Cottage sits on an extra large, beautifully landscaped double lot filled with flowering trees, shrubs and seasonal flowers which offers a very private setting to enjoy with family and friends.

Tucked away on the lower ground floor in the rear, is a small apartment which has a very quiet, professional person who works full time.
The entrances are not shared and are 'not' close together. This does not interfere with the 2 upstairs floors which are 100% designated for your use and enjoyment.

We supply beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels.

    Great location! Wonderful layout of house. Short walk to the beach. Easy to cook breakfast for the family. Comfortable beds! The host was easy to contact, if needed and the house was very clean!

    We all enjoyed hanging out on the large spacious deck, watching the kids play in the large well manicured lawn on the side of the house. They were lots of flowers to add beauty and lots of trees or tall shrubs to provide privacy from the neighbors. Ping-pong table on the second floor’s recreation room was a big hit with all of our guests. We made several dinners for our guests using the grill and the cooktop and everything was available as far as cooking utensils, pots, and pans. The property owners promptly answered any questions that we had prior to checking in and we really had none after we checked in because the property was pretty much as described. I would highly recommend this place.

    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

    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.
