Two-bedroom gorgeous beach house overlooking Good Harbor Beach, located DIRECTLY on the Good Harbor estuary. The house is a 4-minute walk to the beach where you can enjoy everything New England's top-rated beach has to offer, without dealing with parking, crowds, or traffic. Amenities include a private patio, off-street parking, an outdoor shower, a gas grill, and a gas wood stove.

The space:
@thehaabah / #thehaabah

A truly unique Cape Ann home, The Haabah is as perfect for acouple craving a retreat, a family on a beach getaway, or can comfortably accommodate a family or friend group of up to six.

Park in two dedicated off-street parking spaces and you're less than a 4-minute walk to the ocean. Our beach house has the creature comforts of a hotel, but with a magnitude of more soul.

An open-concept kitchen/living area greets your arrival. Stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a full range of kitchen appliances. Gas woodstove resides in the living room for those chilly mornings or beautiful sunset evenings.

Our beach house is equipped with a beautiful marble eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar, as well as a dining table that seats 6 adults. Complimentary coffee from our friends at Little Wolf coffee, as well as a full-size Cuisinart coffee maker, and accouterments for pour-overs. For cooking, a natural gas range and oven, Cuisinart toaster oven, Henkel chefs knives, and Caphalon non-stick pans. Also have everything you might need for beer, wine, and cocktails (juicers, shakers, jiggers).

For sleeping, we've outfitted the space with two queen-sized beds, as well as a brand-new Joybird sleeper sofa. 3 brand new high-efficiency GE window AC units.

Outside, you'll find a heated outdoor shower, a privately lit patio, and a Webber gas grill. The patio is a perfect place to watch daybreak over the marsh with your morning coffee, and the nearby grill for fresh lobster or the day's haddock, watching dusk with your beverage of choice.

Lastly, the house has private high-speed Wi-Fi, Xfinity cable, Samsung smart TV, Chromecast, etc.

Guest access:
While you’re staying with us, you have access to all areas of the beach house with the exception of the several cabinets marked private. Feel free to explore the yard, hang out on the back patio or play a friendly yard game--we have horseshoes, frisbees, cornhole, and mollky.

Other things to note:
We have painstakingly gone out of our way to find antiques, family heirlooms, and unique items that many of our guests admire and enjoy. We only ask that all guests be mindful and respectful of the space (using coasters, using care); unfortunately, any damage or excessive mess will need to be accounted for from the security deposit.

Towards these ends, we also ask that at least one member of the party be at least 25 years old.

    Despite cool weather we enjoyed our time in Gloucester, especially being so close to the beach. The hosts were kind enough to let us use parking beyond check-out so we could enjoy the beach to the max. Guests should note that there are photos of spaces (a bathroom and a bathroom) that are not part of the property. The second bathroom is an outdoor shower only.

    What a charming property! Spacious, chic, impeccably maintained and a very short stroll down to the beautiful Good Harbor beach. You’ll feel lucky that you don’t have to beat the crowds to the $25-$30 a day parking. I recommend an early morning stroll before the hoards descend. All that Cape Ann has to offer is a short drive away, but the house is on a quiet road off the beaten path. Our hosts greeted us with a wonderful basket of pastries from a local bakery and a bag of coffee beans for our stay. We highly recommend this property for the well appointed interiors (and little luxuries like a well stocked library) as well as the warm welcome you will receive from the hosts. We look forward to returning.

    Haabah is a wonderful place to stay and get away from it all. The house had all the comforts of home and was very clean. The location to the beach is perfect. My family and I really enjoyed staying here! We love Gloucester and hope to come back and stay here again!
