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

Golden Sands is the quintessential turn of the century Gloucester beach "cottage." With views of Good Harbor Beach, the twin lighthouses of Rockport and the scenic Atlantic Ocean from its wrap around porch and decks, you will never want to leave this amazing beach house.

The main level includes the living room which opens to the verandah and deck, dining room, kitchen, study and half bath. The comfortable eat-in kitchen with walk-in pantry is well stocked with everything necessary to prepare meals for 12 people including a dishwasher, 5 burner gas stove, plenty of dishware, and a large capacity washer and dryer.

The second level has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths (one with a tub & shower off the hall). Two single rooms have ocean views while the master (with twin beds) has an ensuite bathroom with tub and a door to a lovely private deck. The beds in the single bedrooms are oversized singles.

The third floor has 3 more bedrooms (with 6 single beds in total) and a full bath with a tub, as well as commanding views.

Leave your car in the driveway and walk to the beach and experience summer like you never have before! After the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower (with hot and cold water) and relax in the shaded yard and then make a quick dinner using the natural gas Weber grill. You can even use the outdoor mini fridge for cold al fresco beverages. Golden Sands has everything you could want in a summer vacation rental.

Note: An unobtrusive caretaker has use of the garage on the property for equipment storage. He will be accessing garage at the beginning and end of the work day, for maintenance reasons.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and a stovetop. There's a private patio. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Well equipped rental
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!
