A quaint 4 bedroom family cottage sits on the edge of the salt marsh and dunes of Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester, Massachusetts - the oldest fishing port in the United States. This rare location offers privacy as well as desirable proximity to Gloucester's most famous beach. Listen to the surf, smell the sea and enjoy the breeze!

An outside shower allows for convenient clean up and a large private back yard for children to play. Loads of gardens and bird watching.

Four bedrooms allow for ample sleeping arrangements for up to 8 quests: (2) twins, (2) full and (1) queen. Please note that the bedrooms with the full beds are connected and one room is accessed via the other.

Perfect Getaway
Laura's place is a gem and she is a terrific hostess. It is within walking distance to Good Harbor beach and drivable to all sorts of fun outings. It was the perfect size for our family of 8 - our four kids and to of their partners. The living area space, deck, and kitchen allowed for both full group moments and one on one time. Laura recently redid the kitchen and it was terrific. We highly recommend making pancakes on the stovetop griddle. Thanks for a great weekend in this special home.

Cozy Home in the perfect setting
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay. The house is beautiful and very clean. Easy walking distance from the beach and only a short drive to Gloucester, Rockport, Halibut State Park and Crane Beach. Very quiet location.

Wedding weekend
This was a wonderful location for myself and family while my nephew got married in Gloucester. Every place I looked up to go to was 6 minutes away! My only concern was that since there had been heavy rain, the road was a bit treacherous (a taxi nearly stalled out in the lower section of the road.) Would love return in the warmer days of the year!

Loved Good Harbor Beach House
This charming home fit my wife and me, our two daughters and their husbands perfectly for Christmas. The beach is less that a mile away and it’s a beautiful place to walk. The living room is comfortable with a couch and two stuffed chairs, a desk and a reading area. The small dining room sat the six of us. The kitchen is well-appointed with pots, pans, utensils and lovely dishes.

This property was clean and well cared for. It was very cozy and homey. Although our stay was during cold weather, the outside deck was beautiful. Wished it was bit warmer to be able to fully enjoy it! I would definitely rent again and strongly recommend this property for anyone considering a stay in the Gloucester area.

Beautiful!! And most importantly... CLEAN!!
We took our annual girls trip to Salem this year for the witch museum tour. I was a little nervous renting a vrbo again because the one last year was awful!! As soon as we walked in this place took my breath away!! It was adorable!! A huge wrap around porch with the cutest seating set up. A beautiful flag stone garden... complete with chipmunks and wild bunnies running around... But for me the best part was the cleanliness!! I have issues with OCD so even alittle area of dirt has my anxiety at an all time high and can ruin a whole trip for me... you guys I walked in to the cleanest and cutest little place EVER! We were absolutely impressed beyond words. I'm so grateful to the owner for actually taking pride and care in having such a clean environment. No bugs even though it's backed up to a marsh... no webs... no dust... the decor was so cute and the beds were so comfy. I don't think the central air was working but I'm not sure there was any but I don't think it was even needed...there were ceiling fans in almost every room and just having those on was perfect!! The owner was really really nice and my daughter was tickled that she kept called her "honey" when they talked on the phone... maybe it's an east coast thing... everyone we came in to contact with was so nice I can't even believe how nice they are there... I'm definitely going back to this little place!! Thank you so much for such an amazing experience... if you are thinking about this rental, look no further

Beautiful Home
It was beautiful and cozy. Had plenty of space for a large group of adults to sleep comfortably. Excellent access to the beach and amazing restaurants. Would definitely book again if I were to ever return to the area. The host was awesome and easy to contact.
