Look no further! Enjoy being a guest at this stylish beach bungalow! It is the perfect vacation spot for you and your family and friends. It’s impeccably clean, inviting and ready for your stay!

Wake up from your new, firm, queen size bed early enough to catch the beautiful sunrise at Good Harbor beach! (Only a 5 minute walk away!) On your way back to the house, grab a coffee & danish at Cape Ann Coffees (just across the street) or head next-door for a full size breakfast at Charlie’s. Enjoy take out on the private outdoor patio or inside at the large kitchen island.

The brand new, stylish kitchen offers all the basics you’ll need. The island is large enough to host 6 comfortably and will likely be where you entertain when you’re not outside.

The home is tastefully decorated with warm, earthy tones and a relaxing feel. With a large bay window in the living room and oversized slider in the kitchen, it almost feels like you’re outside!

For all the beach lovers; we provide an umbrella, beach chairs, beach bag, towels, cooler and beach wagon. After a long day in the sun, treat yourself to a delicious ice cream from Ro’s Harbor Scoops just steps from the house! Then, rinse off in the private outdoor shower before dinner.

With Stop & Shop across the street and two more grocery stores nearby, you can cook up dinner in the kitchen or on the grille outside. If you’re too relaxed to cook, Gloucester center is only a five minute drive away and has an excellent selection of restaurants, bars & nightlife!

Unwind after dinner on the comfortable, sectional sofa. Close the curtains and stream your favorite show or movie on the 65” flatscreen TV before turning in after an ideal vacation day!

Bungalow perfection
Our family (2 adults, 2 teens) had the most wonderful, relaxing long weekend getaway here at the Bass Ave Bungalow. The property is clean, adorably decorated/furnished, has a peaceful, open vibe, including a lovely bright kitchen, and huge cozy sectional for lounging, reading, and our favorite- family game time. The beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, and we absolutely loved the quaint side yard and cornhole set! We also took full advantage of the convenient location, walking distance of eveyrhting we needed. The hosts were welcoming, easy to communicate with, and flexible when helping out with a special request. We would return in a heart beat. Thank you, again, for sharing your space with us.

Beautiful Beach Bungalow
The place is super cute and convenient to everything! I loved the decor and the host even added a splash of Halloween decor since we were there during Halloween. I would definitely stay here again. The place looks exactly as pictured and the hosts left me snack, a lovely note and a little gift as well. It was perfect!

A humble haven
This place was immaculate! A beautifully decorated space with a quaint outdoors seating area that just made you feel so cozy and comfortable; in essence a home away from home. Perfect location to visit Salem, Boston or a short travel to other neighboring states. Great location to grocery, restaurants and the best of all… the ocean! We enjoyed our girls family weekend trip lead peeping and checking out the Fall/Witchy vibes of Salem. Highly recommend this place for any trip!

CSG trip to Salem
The house was beautiful. It is decorated just love, was clean and smelled fresh. The beds were comfortable. The living room furniture was very comfortable and very spacious. There were six of us childhood friends, and we often travel together and red hotel rooms. I think I have convinced my friends that renting a small house is much more intimate and a better way for us to spend quality time together.

Fall Girls’ Trip at Bass Ave Bungalow
This was our first trip to New England in the fall and the Bass Ave Bungalow was absolutely perfect! The decor is bright, beautiful and cozy with an amazing kitchen and outdoor space. We loved the beds and comfy couch. Christine and Mike were wonderful hosts and thought of everything you may need to make you feel at home. Gloucester was beautiful, we enjoyed Cale Ann’s coffee across the street and we took a stroll to the beach. It was a short drive to all our fall activities. We will definitely be back and look forward to staying at the bungalow again!

Bungalow Bliss!
This was our first time in the Cape Ann area, and we sure did choose wisely on renting this home. The owners did a phenomenal job remodeling this home. It is extremely well appointed, and the attention to details was great. It really was a 5 minute walk to Good Harbor Beach where we took some amazing pics including a spectacular sunrise. The home was convenient to everything we wanted to do and all the restaurants. We absolutely will stay here again, and think you should too.

Cozy home near the beach
Well equipped with everything you need for a home away from home. Plenty of space for my husband, tween son and me. Clean, new, and very good location. Christine was very welcoming and responsive. Only thing to be aware of is the home sits on a busy street and the windows do not keep out the road noise. Despite the white noise machines, cars and trucks passing by were very loud. If you're a light sleeper, beware.

Everything you need and more
This little house was stunning with the decor and had everything you could need, and plenty of it. Plenty of dishes, more than enough linens including extra blankets for lounging. Having a washer/dryer available with the detergent AND stain remover spray was a plus when my son fell into a muddy puddle with his WHITE hoodie on. Lifesaver. Beds were oh so comfortable after a busy day and everything was spotless. Most hotels aren’t even this clean. We loved being nearby the 7Eleven and coffee shop too. A welcome note with snacks on the counter was a lovely and thoughtful addition to make it personal and special.

This property is just beautiful.
