"The property is nicely located but in need of updates. A lot of the lamps are plug in vs light switch and there were some flickering lights behind the TV. One lamp was missing a light bulb. No outlet in the bathroom for a hair dryer. The second bathroom is missing a door handle making it hard to open and close. We were unable to reach the ceiling fan chain without having to get on the bed, The Air Conditioner wasn't working on he first floor which made it a bit stuff but with open windows at...

Top Half Moon Beach Hotel Reviews

Shore Cottage - Coastal gem, a traveler favorite! Outdoor patio, central AC.

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment you drive onto the property, a total sense of relaxation sets in. The beautifully maintained grounds and fragrant pollinator plants create an immediate, calming welcome. Tucked away from traffic noise, the bungalow offers complete peace and quiet. Meghan is a phenomenal host—she was exceptionally responsive before, during, and after our stay to ensure everything was perfect. The personalized welcome card and over-the-top snack setup made us feel right at home. The bungalow itself is impeccably styled, invitingly comfortable, and fully equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, a TV, and an Alexa. As senior citizens, we especially loved the hassle-free parking: being able to park right next to the front door made loading and unloading luggage a total breeze. To top it off, the location is unbeatable—just two minutes from the waterfront and the iconic Gloucester Fisherman’s Memorial. If you are looking for the perfect coastal weekend getaway, look no further. This hidden gem is a must-stay!"

Harborview Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, quiet, comfortable, and the host was wonderful. We truly enjoyed our short time in Gloucester, and staying at the Harborview Inn added to that enjoyment. If we are ever in the area again, we would stay here again without hesitation."

The Hydrangea Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The location is excellent in Gloucester MA. The proprietor is amazing. Very helpful and a great source of recommendations and conversation. She was very flexible and worked hard to meet our every need. The room was clean and had interesting books in case you had any spare time. I would highly recommend this property."

Classic Coastal Family Home | Walk to Sea;King Bed

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great trip and really enjoyed the house. The absolute best thing for us, a group of 5 women, was we had 5 bedrooms with comfortable beds. The living space was great for us to hang out together and we also enjoyed the enclosed back porch area. Location was perfect. So much to do nearby. Plus we could walk along the water into town. Super convenient! We all agreed it was a wonderful trip and would definitely stay here again."

Gloucester Large 2-Room Studio, Full Kitchen, Deck

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the house so much. Thoughtful touches in a quiet and convenient location. Excellent communication."

3BR Oceanview Townhouse on Boulevard I Walk to downtown l Sleeps 8

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location! Just minutes walking distance from town and from a nice park. One queen bedroom is on the street side so you can hear the cars from the main road. The other queen size bedroom is quiet. A washer and dryer would be great since coming from the beach there are always things to rinse (the showers at all the beaches were shut down because of draught)."

Beautifully renovated home walk to boulevard, town & train

10/10 Excellent

"The house had everything you need very comfortable for seven people. Steps may be challenging for older people or people with disability, but besides that we had a great time."

Harbortown Hideaway: Downtown Gloucester Charm

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the house was very enjoyable. The place was spacious and stocked with all of the necessities that a vacationing family could ask for, in addition to games, beach chairs, etc. The property was very clean and the views were incredible! There are neighbors on the second floor, but we never heard them at all. We did, however, meet them, and they were pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend this rental for its close proximity to the beach as well as being right in the heart of downtown."

Beach Gem overlooking Stage Fort Park, Tablet Rock & Cressy's Beach!!!

10/10 Excellent

"This was our third year staying at this great home and location as always a great time and Grazia and host were very receptive to all needs .Hoping to return next year!!!"
