Loves our stay. From check-in to check-out all went super smooth. The house is very large and location was superb. Fiesta weekend so it was an easy 5-7minute walk to the fiesta festivities. Can’t beat that. Off street parking made everything easy as well. Gaby was super friendly and very helpful. 100% will come back again

Family Time in Beautifuk Location

Gabriela was a wonderful host. Very responsive. Access to the home was straightforward and the location across from the ocean was lovely for walks to dinner, ice cream and parks. We did a whale watch, visited Rocky Neck Artist Colony, Good Harbour Beach and the Maritime Museum - we felt close to it all. We rented the entire house which was impeccably clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. Beds were comfortable and the backyard was such a little retreat.

Gabby and Corey were the perfect hosts!

My husband and I went to Gloucester for an early 40th birthday. Not only was the property gorgeous and immaculate, Gabby welcomed us with a little birthday treat once we entered the house! The area is absolutely breathtaking with lots to do very close to the house. All of the recommendations left for us in the book were spot on! Gabby responded so quickly with every question we had. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Views!

We had an amazing time. We had the priveledge of using the entire home. The house is perfect, light, airy, beautifully decorated. The amenities were great and the kitchens well stocked. The water views from the front porch are spectacular. We spent 5 days exploring the area and the location was perfect for our trips to Salem, Rockport and surrounding areas. We even gathered one night to watch The Perfect Storm as you can see the lighthouse and area from the house. There is alot of areas to walk and get some exercise right outside the front door. Not to mention a beach right across the street. We were lucky as the Deliahs were in full bloom. The host was quick to answer any questions and offer suggestions. It was an amazing trip and the home made it even more special.

Girls trip!! Amazing!

We recently stayed for 3 nights and had the entire house. We did a girls trip to visit Salem and Gaby’s house was the perfect place to stay for 6 adults. We each had our own room with the exception of my nieces who shared the 3rd floor with 2 beds. We took the train and were in Salem in 30 minutes. So easy and way better than driving. Everything about this house is great! Gaby thought of everything; shampoo and body wash to a blow dryer with a diffuser for us curly haired girls. lol. The views from the front porch are amazing!! It was so nice to have the living areas and a big table to play cards at night. Lots of little restaurants in the area that are so yummy! Thank you Gaby for a wonderful stay!!

Perfect

Everything about this property was amazing! We were in awe the moment we stepped in, it was even more beautiful than the pictures. The view from almost every window is of the water. This was the perfect house for our family vacation. We were a group of 10, My Dad, his 3 children and a spouse, 3 grandchildren, a spouse and a great grandchild. There was plenty of room for all of us to hang out together between the inside of the house and the backyard patio. And the 2 living rooms worked great for a movie night downstairs and a game night upstairs. Such a close walk to downtown and to Stage fort Park, and quick drive to Rockport. We will definitely be back. Thank you Gaby for a wonderful week and our memories made.

Location, Location, Location

We decided to take a long weekend, with friends to the North Shore and Gloucester was the perfect location. The house is well equipped and maintained, beds were comfortable and décor adorable. Restaurants and downtown are very close, as well as Rockport, Ipswich & Salem. Part of this locations charm, is not only it's central location to everything but the fact that you have a view of the harbor out the front of the house and a view out the back over looking an inlet, water & boats all around, just spectacular. The front porch is just the spot for early morning coffee, the view does not disappoint. The boulevard (across the street) offers beautiful gardens and miles of walking along the oceans edge. Gaby & Corey were the perfect hosts. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of exploring Gloucester and the North Shore area.

Thanksgiving in Gloucester

The house was beautiful. It was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well-equipped. We were able to cook a little Thanksgiving dinner. The views in the front and back of the house were amazing. We also enjoyed the sunroom in the front of the house and the proximity to beaches and walking trails.

Awesome location!

We just returned from a long weekend at this perfect house! We rented both units and my kids came with their children and the space was great. The view and location are great and it is a great area to walk and look at the harbor. The host was great and very responsive. The only issue is that the drawbridge goes up quite frequently for the boats and the traffic can back up for a while. The kids loved watching it go up and down though!

Beautiful views!

We had a lovely stay! The house is a 15 min walk into town, and also right across the street from a seaside trail. You don’t really need to drive anywhere, which was very nice since parking in town is difficult and the streets are narrow. The house was very clean, had an awesome front porch to relax on, and we loved the white noise machines in every bedroom! Also, random, but the towels were very nice and soft. Definitely recommend for large groups/families!
