This beach house has so much to offer...steps from Good Harbor Beach, wonderful deck with great view, great area to walk and just a quick walk to Bass Rocks.
The house is very well kept and is cozy and comfortable! A beautiful gas fireplace to warm up by on those chilly nights.
Great communication with host. Already looking forward to returning.

Delightful beach house only steps away from Good Harbor Beach. Enjoyed beautiful sunrises, shorebirds and the convenience of being so near the ocean. I found the house to be a recording of reminiscencies of earlier times in Gloucester. There were wonderful books and pictures available to enjoy. Also a collection of movies to watch if you have spare time. The fireplace was a great way to warm up on chilly days. Hope to return again.

Lovely views of Good Harbor Beach. Two minute walk and you are there! Spectacular waves especially when a Noreaster blows through. Fireplace makes the cottage so cozy. Eric is a super host and provided everything we needed. We loved our winter getaway!!

This was our first year staying at 2 Beach Road. The owner Eric is very accommodating and easy to work with. You can’t beat the location, just a few steps to the Good Harbor Beach footbridge. Fabulous view of the beach, the Twin Lights and Salt Island. We’ve been staying at Good Harbor Beach for over 20 years and this was the best location we ever had. Great living/dining room and outside deck. Would highly recommend.

Stayed here with my husband, our two boys (8 and 5), our two dogs, and my parents last week. We had an amazing time - luckily the weather and tide schedule allowed for lots of beach time, walking to Salt Island, swimming, playing in the sand, boogie boarding, etc.
The house itself was just lovely - very clean and well maintained. Plenty of room for the 6 of us and 2 medium dogs. We were all thankful for the ceiling fans especially during the extreme heat wave. Kitchen was smaller than anticipated, but so it goes with a beach cottage. The view from the deck was unbeatable - spent lots of time eating, grilling, and soaking in the view! Kids (and dogs) loved the mazes of hidden gardens. Felt very private despite lots of cars and people nearby with the foot bridge. At times was a bit loud on Fri/Sat nights with the youth going on and off the beach at night, cars coming and going, etc. Weekdays were much quieter.
We will be back! Thanks to Eric for being so responsive and helpful.

Our first stay at this property. Location, Location WOW!! This home had everything that our family needed. Along with being very clean and very well stocked, it’s within walking distance of stores, Bass Rocks overlook and oh... the ice cream shop. Steps to the beach and What a View!! Already looking forward to next year. Enjoy!

Perfect for a family that wants either to live simply for a few days, or join in Gloucester's varied city life. Once you unload the car, you won't need it until it's time to leave.
