Two Beaches Vaca

by Corie
We have been vacationing in Cape Ann for over 30 years and this by far was the best so far! The vacation house was perfect! Large enough for the 4 adults and 2 children. The availability of beach toys, chairs, and beach cart were super helpful. We will definitely book this location again in the future.
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond with such a great review to share with our community! We look forward to seeing you all next summer.

Even Rain Doesn’t Disappoint

by Unknown
Again this year our 2 week stay at Two Beaches was wonderful! Even rainy days were relaxing as the house has space for all to find a place of their own. Recent renovations allowed for even more comfortable living. Look forward to returning in 2022!

A wonderful place to stay!

by Eric
Great clean, roomy and well equipped vacation home on a beautiful lot. Just walk down the street and you will be at Long Beach, our favorite beach at Cape Ann and one of our favorite beaches period! Plenty of parking too out in the front of the house. Best part is you are not far from Gloucester in one direction and Rockport in the other. I recommend staying at Two Beaches Cottage if you are looking for that wonderful, relaxing summer beach vacation experience.
Thank you! We are glad that you had a wonderful stay and we really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us.

Coming Home

by Mary
As a person who was born and grew up in Gloucester and still have family and friends there, I always consider "coming home" to vacation there. Two Beaches is especially my favorite "home". It's near the beaches I love and is convenient to shopping, restaurants and attractions I remember growing up with. It's exactly like "coming home." Love it!
Thank you for your lovely review! We hope to welcome you "home" next year.

Better Than Ever

by Unknown
Our two week vacation at Two Beaches Cottage was even better than the summer before, and that’s saying a lot, because last summer was perfect! Throughout the year any communication with the office staff at Atlantic Vacation Homes is consistent, courteous and reliable. Spring and early summer updates via email are helpful and provide useful information. Upon arrival of our stay, the outside appearance of beach house looked lovely, the inside was simple, fresh and clean. The pride of ownership and the pride of the AVH staff was evident throughout the house, and during each day of our stay.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We look forward to helping you plan another incredible vacation next year!

Wonderful Gloucester vacation rental

by Joanne
We loved our week stay at Two Beaches. The house was very clean and well appointed. It had everything we needed, plenty of nice bath towels, beach towels, beach chairs, kitchen utensils, dishwasher, frig all new. The house feels bigger than it is. We had two families in the house and there was lots of room. The beds were new and comfortable, the backyard and porch were a delight. The short walk to good harbor beach was so nice to look at all the beautiful homes and views along the way.

Great location and accommodation!

by Unknown
This house is very clean and super well appointed with nice towels, kitchenware, bedding etc. You can walk to either beach, probably a drop off in the car if you have little ones and lots of gear to bring. We walked using the awesome beach carts provided. There are fans provided in the house so you can keep the air flowing and with windows open it keeps the house pretty comfortable. The yard is really pretty, nicely landscaped around some very cool rock formations. A lot of thought has gone into making this home a great rental.

Fantastic Beach Rental in Lovely Gloucester Neighborhood

by Pamela
Two Beaches Cottage is a lovely property and was the perfect location to host a reunion for my family. The cottage kitchen is well equipped for preparing and enjoying meals. The living room, sunroom, front and back deck areas, in home washer/dryer, and bbq & yard are all wonderful features. We appreciated the beach chairs and beach towels. I was truly impressed with the ample pillows and bed & bath linens. The layout of the bedrooms and common areas is ideal for group visiting, as well as private time. We did not do any sight seeing, as we had not been together in 2 1/2 years, so used the week for quality visiting time. It really was a wonderful vacation.

Perfect house for our family

by Unknown
The house worked out great for us. There was plenty of room in the house. The location allowed us to walk to Long beach or Good Harbor. It was nice that they provided beach chairs and towels and other beach gear.
