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.

Jul 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Pam W.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented Golden Sands many times over the past 7 years. It is located just steps from Good Harbor Beach, and yet it is secluded behind a screen of trees for privacy. There are enough bedrooms to host multiple families at once, with all the cooking and serving equipment you could need and more. The vibe is rustic country cottage, which is a huge plus for our family. The views are excellent--especially from the covered porch, where everybody tends to congregate in any weather. It does lack some things that might be expected for such high rent, such as updated bathrooms and air conditioning--it gets uncomfortably hot on the 3rd floor during hot spells--however, for us it is just right. ##### Omar K.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Every time we come it's better. So joyous for children, so relaxing for adults. A box of candy from the owners makes the difference between feeling like aliens on someone else's planet and feeling welcome. We love the hideouts in the bushes (pirate caves) and the audience of penguins, the lived-in feel, the hermit crabs, the view and the beach. I wish the tranquility were not shattered by the neighbors' ground crews with their mowers and weedwhackers. But you can't have everything.

Bill, the gentleman who helps out with property maintenance, is a great guy. Enjoy dealing with Susan Rey at Atlantic Vacation Homes. Weather was not perfect, but a rainy day at the Golden Sands beats a sunny day in most other places. Our family loves the house and we hope to rent it for many years to come.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As always, we all love Golden Sands, every bit of it: the view, the outside shower, the spacious porch, the shelf full of games, the long dining tables both inside and out, the best beach on Cape Ann, all the comfortable bedrooms, and the world-class collection of penguins. My youngest granddaughter (aged 7) is making a stuffed penguin to add to the collection, and we will send it to the owners c/o AVH when she has finished her slow, uneven stitching. Golden Sands is our all-time favorite. AVH always comes through. If there is one thing I'd change, it is that last morning, when we have to pack, strip the beds, do the laundry and clean the kitchen by 10:00\. It replaces the the golden haze of good times with a feeling of stress . I'd love to spend a little more money to have the cleaners come earlier, stay longer, and do more.

Location is great and the house is the perfect size for our family. View of the beach was great and we loved the outside deck. Atlantic Vacations Home reps were great. Only suggestion I'd make would be to put the TV in the larger reading room. Would highly recommend. We plan on returning next year.

Reviewer Comments: AVH staff were wonderful. They were helpful on the phone. They filled the house with thoughtful touches: a sewing kit tucked in a drawer, a first-aid kit in the towel closet, flashlights by every bed, every map and pamphlet and train schedule possible, and fresh flowers on the dining room table! Lovely view, lovely old place. Only one thing: I think the owner should replace the stove for both safety and convenience. Thanks to AVH ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Boston / Fitchburg, MA](https://www.expedia.ca/Leominster-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Boston-Fitchburg.h8458771.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Cod Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Cape-Cod-Hotel.h28183.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn By Marriott Boston Andover](https://www.expedia.ca/Andover-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Boston-Andover.h795379.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbor Hotel Provincetown](https://www.expedia.ca/Provincetown-Hotels-Harbor-Hotel-Provincetown.h421590.Hotel-Information) > > [Freebird Motor Lodge by Reverie Boutique Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Hunters-Green-Cape-Cod.h6589307.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Boston-Andover](https://www.expedia.ca/Andover-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Boston-Andover.h25755.Hotel-Information) > > [Chatham Bars Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chatham-Hotels-Chatham-Bars-Inn.h19139.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations Oak n’ Spruce Resort in the Berkshires by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Lee-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-Oak-N-Spruce-Resort.h20875006.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyannis Travel Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Hyannis-Travel-Inn.h1379109.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Hyannis - Cape Cod](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Comfort-Inn.h1240460.Hotel-Information) > > [The Corsair & Cross Rip Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dennis-Port-Hotels-The-Corsair-Cross-Rip-Oceanfront-Resort.h894158.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Best-Western-Royal-Plaza-Hotel-Trade-Center.h14628.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Cod Family Resort and Parks](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Cape-Cod-Family-Resort-And-Inflatable-Park.h5306790.Hotel-Information) > > [Brass Key Guesthouse - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Provincetown-Hotels-Brass-Key-Guesthouse-Adults-Only.h18632862.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Bentley Brook](https://www.expedia.ca/Hancock-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Bentley-Brook.h973618.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Marlborough/Apex Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-MarlboroughApex-Center.h20178059.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake ](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Boston - Milford by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Milford-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Boston-Milford.h555108.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayside Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Bayside-Resort-Hotel.h896697.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Northside Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Williamstown-Hotels-Northside-Motel.h1581984.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Boston Marlborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Boston-Marlborough.h22959.Hotel-Information) > > [SpringHill Suites by Marriott Wrentham Plainville](https://www.expedia.ca/Wrentham-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Wrentham-Plainville.h57749189.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information)
