Romantic Summerwind Cottage-Harbor View Retreat w/Large Private Deck

What a pretty cottage! Everything about this little home is perfect, the kitchen is nicely outfitted, the furniture is comfy, the beds were super soft, and there is a wonderful large deck for lounging in the sun and looking out at the harbor. The hosts were available if we needed them but respected our privacy. Thank you so much and we will be back!

What a wonderful place for a family vacation! The cottage is perfectly situated between the beautiful Good Harbor Beach and happening downtown Gloucester. The decor was chosen with great care to create a relaxing oasis. The amenities provided everything we needed. Thank you, Linda!

Never have I felt as immediately at home as when I stepped through the door into this perfect little cottage. It may not be right on the water, but the view from its spacious deck is spectacular. It allows you to see that Gloucester's harbor is not just a picturesque accessory, but rather a bustling, hard-working home to fishing vessels of all sizes. At the same time, you are in your own serene little piece of this coastal community. Linda and Hank, the owners, live next door and Linda was quickly responsive in helping with a couple of minor issues that arose. Ample info and suggestions for things to do, places to eat, etc. are provided, and Good Harbor Beach is within short, enjoyable walking distance. I would go back tomorrow and never leave if I could!

We had a great time! Linda the host was awesome super friendly! The house was beautiful, same with the town!

Properly was very well kept and comfortable. Host was very nice and accommodating. We had a great time.

Beautiful place to stay with everything you’d need plus the warmest and most accommodating hosts! Convenient to commute to Salem and come back for lobsters on the water and a walk back to the rental.

This seaside cottage was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans, condiments, and coffee necessities. Everything was very clean, well kept, and comfortable. The host was quick to communicate and was very invested in making our stay the best it could be. The driveway is challenging to enter/exit but not unusual for the area - just take your time and have a spotter!

The cottage is as advertised. So much care went into the art on the walls and the whole main room. It is a beautiful site. The kitchen had everything we needed. The patio was a joy as well. We enjoyed many of the restaurants that seem very close by

The cottage is lovely, spacious and nicely appointed. Great view of the harbor. The hosts were helpful and welcoming.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Overall location was easy to get in and out of town as we explored different parts of MA.

Beautiful and peaceful!!!! And the owner was absolutely incredible,

Lovely house, although a little difficult to get in and out of (the driveway is very narrow). Listing said there was a pull out sofa, but unless I’ve gotten so old I can’t understand how to work it, we couldn’t find the sleeper portion of the sofa. We enjoyed our stay anyway!

Everything was perfect. The home was so clean and had everything we needed, even extras like coffee and creamer for mornings on the beautiful deck. The sunset was incredible in the evenings. Linda was so kind and even stopped by to see if we needed anything. The area is beautiful and you HAVE to try the Chicken Vodka Pasta from The Lobster which is just a short walk away (we had it twice in 2 days - that’s how good!).

Excellent! Exactly as described. Clean, comfortable, decorated, great shower! True home away from home. Linda has done all the work for you. All great recommendations!

This gem of a house had all the amenities that i need. The veiw was So Gorgeous, im already missing it. Also missing that fresh air, fresh fish. This was my first time to the east coast and im in love.

The house was cute. I’ve stayed at several other houses using VRBO and this was my least favorite. The house was not easy for getting vehicles in and out of the area. The towels smelled moldy and the beds and bedding were uncomfortable.

We felt comfortable the moment we entered Summerwind Cottage. Everything about the property was well planned, executed, and maintained. We loved sitting on the deck watching the activity in the marina, eating our meals, and seeing the sunsets. Our host made sure we had everything we needed. And we were delighted when we found Good Harbor Beach on our morning walk.

Great rental. Extremely well decorated, comfortable furniture, well equipped kitchen. Nice bright windows. Extremely clean and well maintained. Great deck set up with view of part of the harbor. Really good seafood takeout a 3-minute walk away. 5-minute drive to downtown; parking is tight but we got parking easily 1-2 short blocks off Main Street. Great seafood restaurants and a nice Italian section too. Definitely would return and definitely recommend this property.

My husband and I chose this VRBO as a getaway treat to celebrate our upcoming 50th wedding anniversary, and it delivered four days and five nights of splendid relaxation. The accommodations more than met our expectations, and we were able to forget about our troubles and enjoy each others company and our surroundings without any fear of being disappointed. Even the weather cooperated and allowed us to enjoy the balcony/deck in the evenings while taking in the blue water and colorful fishing vessels in the harbor. The proximity to excellent dining was another perk. Although we have visited Gloucester four times in the past, we discovered a few new haunts which offered the freshest and most delicious seafood to be found just about anywhere on the eastern seaboard, and we have tried many over the years. One restaurant and another purveyor of fresh seafood were within walking distance. Here are a few items that we truly appreciated: 1. Tasteful and comfortable decor. 2. Delightful artwork throughout. 3. A well-appointed kitchen with a Keurig!. All-Clad pans, and sharp knives. Ice cubes ready on arrival in the freezer. 4. Comfy mattresses and pillows. Reading lights next to the beds. 5. Thick, soft toilet paper. Really. 6. Linda, whose knowledge of the area and proximity and availability for questions was very helpful, especially when my husband couldn't get the washer started because he failed to close the door all of the way. Thanks, Linda.
