Place was perfect for my friend group! Clean & relaxing location. It’s literally in the middle of everything we wanted to visit. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your review, Steve! We’re glad the clean, relaxing home and convenient location were perfect for your group. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back!
Great house with a lot of space! Our group loved spending our mornings drinking coffee on the wrap around porch. Great location— close to both Salem and Boston.
Thank you so much for your kind review, Claudia! We’re glad Tidebend was a great fit for your group and that you enjoyed the spacious home, wraparound porch, and convenient location near Salem and Boston. We’d love to welcome you back!
The house was great, fit our group and was very comfortable.
Thank you for your kind review Lisa. We’re glad Tidebend was a comfortable fit for your group, and we hope to welcome you back again!
Carol with the management company made the check in and check out process seamless. Communication was great. The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood with nice views of the bay from the front porch. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind review Robert, we're so glad you had a great experience with us and you loved the property. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back again!
My family stayed here and loved the setting and how the house felt truly like a home. They loved sitting on the shared dock.
Thank you so much for your kind review Joyce, we're so glad you loved the property and we look forward to welcoming you and your family back again!
Thank you for the 5 star review Jim, we hope to welcome you back with us again!
Our stay at Tidebend was perfect. We were in town for a family wedding and the house comfortably accommodated my husband and I, our adult children and our grandchildren. We enjoyed some down time and the beautiful view on the extra large porch. I appreciated the hosts check-ins and updates. It made our stay so easy. Highly recommend this property!
Thank you so much for your glowing review Susan, we sincerely hope to welcome you and your family again!
This is a beautiful and quiet home with all of the amenities. It was a huge space that was perfect for what I needed for my weekend stay. It is close enough to downtown Gloucester and the train to Boston. The only hiccup was not receiving the code prior to check-in, despite following the host’s instructions. It left my group stranded in the rain for an hour or two until we received the code. Other than that, a perfect home for large groups!
Thank you so much for your kind review Nicholas, we're so glad you and your group enjoyed the property, we'll looked into the code issue and got it sorted, thank you so much for bringing that to our attention. We hope to welcome you again!
The Tidebend house was absolutely amazing. We had a wedding in Boston and hosted 10 family members from all over the U.S. Everyone enjoyed the stunning views and comfortable and quiet surroundings. There was plenty of space to spread out and the location was perfect. The house is very old, but well maintained and lots of amenities with an updated kitchen. The house also has quite a history. You must ask the host about the original owners from the 1800s. I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a larger home to host a family or family reunion. We will be back!!
Thank you so much for your amazing review Bonnie! We’re glad Tidebend was a great fit for your wedding weekend. It’s wonderful to hear your group enjoyed everything. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back!
Lovely house and location! Clean, spacious, comfortable, with a fabulous kitchen and great hang out areas.. We were 10 from 3 families in town for Thanksgiving and Tidebend was perfect for hanging out, sleeping, cooking. I really appreciate that each sleeping space was comfortable and as described - no janky windowless basement ‘bedroom’s! Atlantic Vacation Homes was informative, pleasant and prompt as the property manager. Would absolutely rent again.
Thank you so much for your glowing review Barb, we hope to see you again soon!

Would Definitely Revisit
by DianeWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was charming and to know a little bit about the history of the cottage, made it that much more appealing. It can certainly accommodate quite a few people comfortably. The bed linens and towels were clean and fresh. Kitchen is well appointed. Local beaches close by as well as shops and restaurants. Would definitely go again.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, we hope to see you and your family again!
Great Experience and Fantastic Location
by JacksonGreat experience renting with Atlantic Vacation rentals. The Tidebend home was in a fantastic location, just steps from a private dock and water access and 10 mins to nice beaches. Would come back
Thank you so much for your kind review Jackson, we hope to see you again!
