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

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!"

"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."

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)."

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."
