This property and the owner blew our (already high) expectations out of the water. Not only was the home inviting with New England charm and modern luxuries (gorgeous kitchen and plenty of comfy seating to nestle in to!), Kathy went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. It truly felt like we were staying with a family friend we felt so welcomed. Visiting Salem was a girl’s trip we’ve been dreaming about since high school, and the drive from Glouster to Salem was a snap, and we were delighted to find that Glouster had it’s own seaside charms (you’re missing out if you don’t try Mom’s Breakfast!!).

May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, beautiful home Kathy was a terrific host and this home is lovely. It is large with multiple living spaces, very clean, organized and inviting. The Sun Room got the most use so we could watch the fishing boats come and go and just enjoy each others company. The kitchen is a dream - quite large with everything you need and then some! The primary bedroom and ensuite bath was perfect for us. The king size bed was quite comfortable with high quality linens (so important and appreciated!). The weather was not the best the week we were there so we utilized the wood-burning stove and it was delightful. Warmed up the whole first floor. The home is close to everything in Gloucester! The train station, downtown, restaurants and the harbor are all within a 5-7 minute drive. There are a number of restaurants within walking distance. Kathy left a wealth of information on the area, the beaches, restaurants, etc. which was greatly appreciated. When we had a couple rainy days, she had indoor recommendations as well - we went Candle pin bowling for the first time and had a blast (also 5 minutes away)! Rockport is less that 15 minutes - we thoroughly enjoyed Halibut Point State Park and my son enjoyed downtown Rockport. We walked the Harbor walk out to Stage Fort Park. The train made the commute to Salem (30min) and Boston (60min) very convenient. Kathy was very accommodating, and very responsive to my texts, questions or requests. I would highly recommend this home and Kathy. ![Gloucester - view from Stage Fort Park](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f5c9b34f-eddc-43f2-ab7b-0a965c7a6c8c-1748269996924.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Halibut Point Rock Quarry-very interesting and a great trail](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/265ae95d-843f-439f-bc59-f4f8ca76835c-1748269997128.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Halibut Point State Park - we loved exploring the rocks and the tide pools.

Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### John K. Jun 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Gloucester MA 21 Friend St This house has a view of the inner harbor from both the Sunroom and the Master BR. The interior has been nicely updated. The parking was a nightmare with 2 SUVs. The house itself is not handicap friendly with stairs required for access from the garage (the only reliable parking) and the 3 bedrooms. We found that we only used about half the house because we spent our time in the Sunroom or the kitchen. The light switches were placed in unusual spots that made it hard to figure out (not always in the room you would be using). The overall rating reflects the parking issues and most importantly to us, the lack of facilities for an elderly or handicapped person. The host was responsive when we e-mailed her. ##### John K.

This home could not have been more perfect for our visit to Gloucester! We were four retired siblings meeting up for some special time together. The sunroom was the icing of the cake. I would definitely consider staying here again. ##### Diana M.

Everything about this home was wonderful. Our excellent host Kathy did so many caring things to make our stay perfect. She provided great information about the area, restaurants, and many other attractions. Kathy's communication with us before and during our stay could not have been better! Her home was beautiful, spacious, very clean, and well-appointed with all the amenities. We spent many hours in the sunroom enjoying the views of the Gloucester inner harbor. The location was convenient to explore Gloucester on foot and take day trips to Rockport, Salem, and Boston. Thank you, Kathy for helping to make our stay in Gloucester so memorable! ##### David D.
