This was our fifth year in Gloucester and my family agrees that this was the best place that we have stayed in yet. We are complete beach bums and boogie board fanatics and our beach of choice is Good Harbor. To be able to WALK to this beach with a loaded beach cart and set up our camp in minutes was simply the greatest thing ever. I say that as the dad who always has to load up the minivan, wait in line to get into the parking lot, pay $15 to park, and then lug all our stuff over hot sand to the spot and back. No more with Garden by the Sea. The owners live in the adjoining house and are very nice and really invested in their guests' happiness. Point is: if I ever come home to our apartment in Brooklyn and find an empty house and missing beach towels, I know that they went to stay in Garden by the Sea.

Couples and families with one or two kids will love this place. If you don't love it, it might be that you have an allergy to awesomeness.

Cheers,
The S family

We had an outstanding experience. The owners are on site and are very friendly and helpful. This was our second time renting this location and we were again very pleased. The property description was accurate. Our family enjoyed the close proximity to Good Harbor beach (just a short walk - about a block to beach access). The space accommodated our family (2 adults and 3 children), but the bathroom and kitchen are both a bit small. This was not a major issue and we were aware of the accommodations before we booked in again this year.
Manager response on 2014-07-15 - Response from AVH Realty Inc
We work hard to make sure that our descriptions are as accurate and representative as possible, and we're happy that you agree! We're glad that you and your family had a great second time at Garden by the Sea, and we hope you return for a third (as they say, the third time's the charm!) We hope you and your family have a wonderful rest of your summer!

We were very satisfied with our stay overall. The property was within a short walking distance from the beach. The view of the ocean was like a picture postcard. The DeCicco's were most helpful and friendly. The outdoor grille came in very handy. Lots of large towels were very much appreciated. We would have liked a beach umbrella, but that was unimportant. We would recommend this property to our friends.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Garden by the Sea. The owners live in the front part of the house, and they were extremely nice and helpful to us while also respecting our privacy. This apartment has a wonderful deck and interior view of Good Harbor Beach and the ocean. The walk to the beach is quick and easy with access to the BEST end of Good Harbor Beach where the creek and the ocean meet. The apartment is rather small, and there is only room for one person in the kitchen at a time, but these points are outweighed by all the pluses. We will look forward to returning to Garden by the Sea soon.

Restful by the Garden.

From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we had made a wonderful choice. It's the small things the owners thought of that made the stay more comfortable: like the beach cart with beach chairs; a rocker-recliner in the living room; a TV in the master bedroom; a chaise lounger on the deck; a grill; books; movies; WiFi...we wanted for nothing. Good Harbor Beach is a comfortable walk and you walk onto a calmer part of the beach. A perfect, restful get away for a couple.

great vacation

Great place, priced right. Kitchen is too small to do any real cooking, which is a little inconvenient. But i guess that is reflected in the price, which is very reasonable. Internet was down for day and half, which was also annoying, but nothing that REALLY mattered. Bob & Madeliene and Marisa and family are all extremely nice and hospitable.

This property was perfect for our family of four--we felt at home from our first night. Our daughters slept comfortably in the full and twin bunks, and we enjoyed the privacy of two bedrooms. There are ocean views from the deck and several rooms, and the beach is a short walk away. We cooked full meals most nights in the small but well-equipped kitchen, using the brand new gas grill when the weather cooperated. Our hosts respected our privacy, but were lovely when we bumped into each other. They even brought us scones!
