Sep 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Garden by the Sea This is a lovely accomodation. Beautiful view of the ocean. A short 5 min walk to Good Harbor Beach. The house is located on a well traveled road so there is a little bit of traffic noise. The hosts are lovely people, available but not intrusive. A walk up the road will take you along the coastline with gorgeous views of the Atlantic. The location is excellent, quick trips to both Bearskin Neck and Rocky Neck. Cape Ann is gorgeoux! ##### Jenn S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### nicholas l.

But more importantly than anything is the property owners. Bob and Madeline are as fine of people that you will ever encounter. Kind, Gracious, and Helpful. I feel completely at home when I am staying at Garden By The Sea. ### 8/10 Good #### Janice J. Nov 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location ##### Janice J.
