Perfect for a cozy fall getaway

by George

Garden By the Sea was the perfect place for a two week fall getaway for two people. The hosts were immediately very attentive to any problems or requests that arose, and accommodated a late checkout request. Cozy and scenic best describes GardenBy the Sea.

We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay, we hope to welcome you both again soon!

The view of the ocean and the garden were beautiful. The town is lovely and picturesque. The hosts were the sweetest couple and left scones and chocolate chip cookies as a welcoming gift. We had a wonderful mini vacation despite experiencing a nor'easter storm.

Thank you so much for your kind review, we hope to see you again!

We had a great stay! Our hostess greeted us on arrival and was very welcome. She left us bakery cookies and scones.It truly was only a 5 minute walk to Good Harbor Beach. Our host provided a beach cart with 2 beach chairs and an umbrella, making it so easy to load everything we needed for a day at the beach.Near lots of places to eat both casual and upscale as well as other beaches. Being so close to the ocean there was a wonderful breeze so we never turned the air conditioning on. Loved the sun on the deck for our morning coffee and hearing the sound of the surf at night. Lovely gardens. We would definitely return!

Thank you so much for your review Anna, we hope to see you again!

Garden by the Sea is a great spot for 2 or 3 people to share (I’ve done both and 2 was better). The beach is within walking distance and it’s one of the best beaches in New England. You can hear the surf from the deck or even from inside if you leave windows open at night. The hosts were absolutely lovely people and the garden that greets you every day is a reflection of their charm. The kitchen is rather tiny, but I was able to make do using the drop down desk at its entrance as a small prep space. We really only cooked breakfast, so it was fine. We made sandwiches to bring to the beach and dinners were at one of the multitude of choices in town (we even walked to dinner one night as the restaurant was within a mile or so). If you’re looking for quaint and cozy, this place is worth trying out.

Thank you so much for your glowing review, we hope to see you again soon!

Lovely Place to Vacation

by Jenn S.

We had a lovely stay at this accommodation. The space is very clean. It\'s centrally located on Cape Ann, near supermarkets, Bearskin Neck, Rocky Neck and shopping. The best part was the 3-minute walk to Good Harbor Beach. The view of the Atlantic is picturesque. I spent mornings on the deck overlooking the beautiful gardens which attracted butterflies and rabbits. The hosts are lovely people who are available for questions but honored our privacy. They directed us to a wonderful second-hand shop where we found lots of treasures. This apartment is on a well-traveled road, so there was a bit of traffic noise. Just thought I\'d note that fact, but we weren\'t troubled by that at all. The kitchen is well equipped with all the basics. Nice, large refrigerator and full-size stove. Big thank you to our hosts for making us feel so welcomed!
