Relax and take in wonderful views of Gloucester's beautiful Good Harbor Beach, with Thatcher Island beyond, from this bright and delightfully furnished two bedroom vacation rental apartment. It is the perfect place to stay during your New England summer getaway!

Both the living room and the primary bedroom have sliding doors that open onto a spacious, private, sun-kissed deck complete with gorgeous water views, a lounge chair and a table and chairs for al fresco dining, all overlooking the verdant backyard.

The primary bedroom has a queen-sized bed while the second bedroom comes furnished with bunk beds (double on bottom and single on top level). A well-equipped galley kitchen, pleasant full bathroom with tub and shower complete the unit. Outdoors, one can enjoy the large yard, rife with plentiful herbs and flowers.

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!
