  • New stove and microwave

Swimming pool and new beautifully landscaped private patio! Old World charm (extensive renovations with all the modern amenities) describes this delightful three bedroom, one and half bath cottage nestled at the edge of a two acre Oceanside estate. Thoughtfully furnished by its designer owner, the cottage has a large eat-in sunny kitchen (laundry area discretely tucked into kitchen closet) with a spacious dining area and French doors that open onto the newly refurbished patio. The high ceilinged living room replete with skylights is attractively yet comfortably furnished with ample seating and a large flat screen TV.

Step out onto the private patio with grill and an umbrella-shaded table to relax and enjoy the traditional English garden blooming with seasonal delights. The owners, who live at the other end of the property, invite you to share the lovely in ground pool as well as the breath-taking views which are both visible from the cottage--what better way to relax on a warm summer day. In just minutes stroll to the Atlantic Ocean and the spectacular stretch of ragged coastline known as Bass Rocks and continue along the water another 5 minutes to a fabulous sandy beach in either direction. Visit the intriguing Art Colony of Rocky Neck about a mile away or savor the fine dining in the many restaurants of Gloucester and Rockport. This cottage offers so many ways to enjoy your Cape Ann getaway!

    Hilary A from Oakland, CA recommends this vacation rental

    Our family of four (kids are 3 and 6) LOVED staying at English Sea Gardens in Gloucester during our summer vacation. Ron (the property manager) was extremely friendly and helped us when we had any questions or concerns. The pool was perfect for our needs (3ft at one side--- up to 5.8 on the other). The cottage itself was much bigger than we had imagined with a stocked kitchen, lots of books, movies, games, and towels. It was great to have a 2nd bathroom and the kids loved the layout. We enjoyed the proximity to the water (less than a block away) and easy access to downtown (a short drive). The actual street is very quiet, which made us feel like we were in our own home for the week. We would definitely stay here again.

    • Manager Responded on 8/3/2010

      We are very gratified that you enjoyed your stay at English Sea Gardens. The location, pool, and property lay out make it an ideal rental. Please keep us in mind for next year's vacation.

    Hilary A from Oakland, CA recommends this vacation rental

    This was our 2nd year staying at English Sea Gardens and the owner of the property has made it even more wonderful than it was last year. The pool area has been completely updated and the house is warm, comfortable, kid-friendly, and felt rather luxurious all at the same time. My two kids (7 & 4) had a great time swimming every day and fully enjoying the house, the area, and easy walks to the ocean. They already requested that we stay at English Sea Gardens EVERY YEAR "forever..."

    • Manager Responded on 9/17/2011

      Thanks for your generous review. English Sea Gardens was great before the renovations and as you said is even better now. The nicest improvement is the removal of the large shrubs which now give an unobstructed view of the pool from the house so that you can relax and also keep an eye on the kids in the pool. The owners worked very hard and have done a marvelous job, so I know they will appreciate your comments. Let us know when your next "forever" stay will be! AVH staff

    a guest from Newtown Square, PA recommends this vacation rental

    This was our second year staying at English Sea Gardens and once again, we had a wonderful visit to Gloucester! This property is perfect for our family - we have 3 small children and the safe, secluded little yard and fenced in pool were just perfect for us! We didn't even have to leave the property to feel like we were still on vacation and having fun.

    The home is a very short walk to a beautiful scenic view/walking path along the ocean, and although the ocean is not easily seen from the cottage, you can still feel the ocean breeze, and the great yard and pool make up for the lack of being truly 'oceanfront'.

    The only things that would have made it even better would be a lock on the pool gate (we just tied it shut with a belt), and a kitchen floor that is not as slippery when wet - the tiles are extremely slippery even when just slightly wet - and especially when wet little feet come in from the pool - but again, we remedied this by laying a path of towels down on the floor to prevent any accidents.

    The property manager who lives in the main house on the property, is very kind, helpful, and non-intrusive. We appreciated his efforts to keep the pool in such great condition.

    If we vacation again in Gloucester, we will be staying here again!

    a guest from Newtown Square, PA recommends this vacation rental

    We had a wonderful vacation while staying at "English Sea Gardens"! The property was clean and beautifully decorated, and having the patio area and access to the gated pool was wonderful for us as we have 3 small children - so we were able to enjoy the outdoors even if someone was napping.

    The location is great - private, yet close to the beach and restaurants. The property itself is oceanfront, but it's important to know ahead of time (as we did) that the house actually has no view of the ocean.

    Overall, we had a fantastic time and are so happy to have chosen the rental we did. The only 'con' is that the house lacks a dishwasher. I hadn't noticed that in the rental description, so it came as a bit of a surprise...

    Thank you to Ronn (the very helpful property manager) and his family for sharing your beautiful home with us!
