First Light
by Joanne DeverI loved this cottage! The deck was beautiful and very quiet. We could see the sun come up in the morning through the trees and it was only a short walk to Long Beach (my favorite). I will come back! I was also very impressed with the response time we received from you.There was a small problem with a/c unit and you had someone there in 15 minutes.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful deck, morning sun through the trees, and easy walk to Long Beach. It’s great to hear our team responded quickly to the A/C issue and helped keep your stay comfortable. We’d love to welcome you back!
We had a wonderful stay for the 4 of us with ample room and comfort. The location is in a great spot with easy access to everything including the town, beaches and restaurants. Highly recommend this location.
Thank you so much for your kind review Joe, we're so glad you loved the property and we look forward to welcoming you and your family back again!
Gloucester is one of my favorite places in the world and this was a perfect home. The location is great because you’re right next to the beach and close to both downtown Rockport and Gloucester. The house was clean, spacious, and perfectly suited for a family and I would 100% recommend
Thank you so much for your kind review Josh, we hope to welcome you and your family again!
Clean and comfortable space with a spacious deck and yard. Great location near Rockport beaches.
Thank you for your wonderful review Kaitlyn, we hope to see you again soon!

Thank you so much for your kind review, we hope to see you and your family again!
The Place was Great
by DanielThe place was great, but communication seemed like it was AI. Left a voicemail asking about how early check in works and the text I got in response clearly didn't really understand what i'd asked. The same thing happened when I asked about the AC, but the place was great, had a fun weekend!
First Light
