Close to town
The unit was exactly as described in the listing. It was a large unit and the kitchen was fully stocked. It was about a 5 minute walk downtown Gloucester and about 30 minute drive to Salem. We also did whale watching with Cape Ann Whale Watching which was about a 3 min walk and perfect location for the early tour. The area was nice and quiet but we could hear the owners upstairs walking around and talking a lot later in the night. Overall it was a good stay and a nice big unit.

My husband and I were lifelong residents of Boston's North Shore until retiring to Virginia a few years ago. We often travel back to visit with friends and family, and Cape Ann is our preferred destination. This wonderful property on Main Street in Gloucester is our new favorite rental due in part to its downtown location where shops and restaurants are in walking distance. In addition to its proximity to downtown Gloucester, there are several features about this property which earned, for us, a 5 star rating. The kitchen is fully supplied with everything one might need and has a large, clean refrigerator, ample counter space and a dining area. There is a private, outdoor space in a lovely garden just outside the back door of the kitchen. The bathroom is updated, has a large vanity and the shower was great! There are lots of extra towels and other supplies for guests. We enjoyed the living area which has comfortable furniture, a dining set and a new television. Most importantly, the beds were also very comfortable. Both bedrooms are sizeable with large dressers, roomy closets, and a desk and television in each. Our host Arnie could not have been nicer. We had some issues figuring out the television, and he was very helpful and patient. He seemed to genuinely care that we enjoyed our stay in his property, and we most certainly did! Thank you, Arnie and Jo Ann.

Amazing Experience
My partner and I had the pleasure of staying here long term due to the unfortunate circumstances of our condo sustaining damage after a bad storm. We are so grateful to Jo Ann and Arne, the property managers, for their immense amount of hospitality and flexibility during what was otherwise a stressful time. Hands down we could not have asked for a more perfect space. It had everything we needed to feel at home, including an ample office space, which was perfect for working for remote work. The home is located in a prime area where you can walk two minutes up the street to all of the wonderful restaurants and shops downtown. You are also five minutes away from Gloucester’s great beaches. The property managers truly make sure that you have all the comforts of home and the amenities that make your stay better than most hotels can offer. We cannot recommend staying at this property enough!

Quiet, conveniently located, fabulous apartment in Gloucester. Hosts were very nice and accommodating, even accepting parcels in advance of our stay. We had all 4 seasons during our 6 night visit and although we were challenged operating the air/heat mini splits, the host immediately set temperatures of each room for us, several times. Gloucester was beautiful and so much to see & do. We ventured to Salem for Halloween and wellas well many other North Shore destinations. Parking on street in front of house was always plentiful. House was well stocked with essentials. We would suggest mirrors in bedrooms as sharing a bath with 3 adult women "getting ready" was a tad of a challenge. Definitely recommend and would return.

We loved staying here with our 8 year old! The rooms were bright and clean, the furniture was comfortable and modern. Jo Ann was very responsive to my questions ahead of our stay. It’s in a great location: just a few minutes walk to the stretch of shops and restaurants in downtown Gloucester.

Excellent Location
Excellent location! We went to attend some family gatherings and to enjoy the greasy pole event. This property was well maintained, clean and a perfect size for family with a couple kids. Owners were super nice and helpful. The location is amazing- you can walk right to the beach and the downtown is just up the road with great shopping and restaurants. We walked to the carnival for the event and even better the parade came right in front of the house. Couldn’t ask for a better stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was well-stocked and had everything we needed. It was very comfortable and outside noises were minimal. Everything is within easy walking distance (groceries, transit, restaurants, etc.). Would definitely stay here again. (If you want to go into Boston, take the MBTA for $10 per person on the weekend with unlimited transit stops. It takes 70 minutes and the scenery is worth it. Also, check out Good Harbor Beach relatively nearby if you like a kelp-free beach and lots of sand.
