view large image

Golden Sands is the quintessential turn of the century Gloucester "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! Everything about this house says summer, beach and family from the vintage wicker furniture and the comfortable eat in kitchen with walk in pantry to the (hot & cold) outdoor shower and shaded yard. The main level includes the living room which opens to the verandah and deck, dining room, kitchen, and bedroom with double futon and ensuite half bath. The second level has 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths (one with a tub & shower off the hall)--two double rooms have ocean views while the master has an ensuite bathroom with tub and a door to a lovely deck. The third floor is simple but the commanding views make up for it plus it has 3 more bedrooms and a full bath with a tub. Leave your car in the driveway and walk to the beach and experience summer like you never have before! An unobtrusive caretaker has use of the garage on the property for equipment storage. He will be accessing garage at the beginning and end of the work day.

    Charlotte R from Sterling, VA recommends this vacation rental

    All the comfortable belongings that the family left there made it feel like we were in our own home. It was great. The only problem was the gas stove that we felt was dangerous with the buttons popping off.

    Linda and Dennis N from Albany, NY recommends this vacation rental

    Just returned from a week stay at the Golden Sands on Good Harbor Beach. We stayed in that area for years and this was the best rental we ever had. 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.

    • Manager Responded on 10/26/2011

      Thank you Linda and Dennis for your review. We always pass suggestions on to the homeowners, but isn't it just the neatest house! I love all the rooms and that beach cottage feel, as well as, the proximity to the beach...a real treasure. Let us know how we can assist you with next year's vacation plans. AVH staff

    The porch overlooking the beach was a great gathering place for everyone. The sunrises were spectacular and the convenience of the location was unbeatable.

    a guest from Cambridge, MA recommends this vacation rental

    The view is lovely. The location is ideal for a family with several children. The rocking chairs on the porch overlooking the sea and the islands are where I want to go when I die.

    Are the owners penguins?

    Anne D from Cambridge, MA recommends this vacation rental

    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
