Immerse yourself in Cape Ann's vibrant art community, visit notable museums, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of festivals and farmer's markets. Let's not forget the "not to be missed" sunsets of Ipswich Bay (right across the street) or take a stroll to Plum Cove beach. And if you’re too relaxed to cook, Gloucester Center is just a seven-minute drive away and has a great selection of restaurants, bars & nightlife! (Don't forget to ask us for our recommendations!) Minutes to Rockport, and easily accessible by commuter rail or car from Boston -- less than an hour away. In celebration of Gloucester's 400th Anniversary, there are lots of not-to-be-missed happenings, including the Edward Hopper exhibit. If you're interested, my husband, an artist/sculptor, can share fascinating stories about Hopper's time here in Gloucester.

We were only in the apartment for short periods in between events. Beds were comfortable- tub/shower combo slow to drain when showering and the furniture although comfortable, was stained. A bit disappointed that there was no coffee to wake up to but overall a good experience!

We opted for a destination Thanksgiving, and we can't say enough about the location and amenities of this rental! The kitchen is well equipped and the table provides a great space to enjoy a meal... and play a few hands of cards. It's a clean, bright, spacious unit and the owners have included lots of small touches to make everyone comfortable. We had such a relaxing stay and the sunsets at the cove across the street were amazing!

We had a great time in Gloucester and this property was so very nice. We had plenty of room for the 4 of us and didn’t have any issues. Well, one where we tripped a power strip but the owners were very responsive. Regina and her husband were friendly and spent some time visiting with us. They were always quick to answer any questions beforehand as well. The weather was amazing for early November!
We would definitely stay here again on a future trip!
Thanks Regina!!

This lovely rental was clean and provided all the comforts of home. The kitchen was well stocked. Did not care for need to go down the spiral staircase at night to use the bathroom. However, it all worked out fine for our visit to beautiful Gloucester.

We traveled to Maine from Illinois and found this comfortable and very clean getaway for our stop on our way back home. The unit is fully stocked with plenty of the kitchen supplies you will need. The location was great for exploring surrounding communities. We spent a day in Salem. The view was spectacular and should be even better once the leaves drop. Would recommend.

This property was exactly as advertised and was the perfect home base for exploring Cape Ann. The apartment is spacious, clean, and nicely decorated, and the deck with peek-a-boo view of the bay is wonderful. It was nice to know we could use air conditioning (though with the great weather, we didn't need it!). This was just right for our vacation with our two kids and my partner's parents.

Regina is a top notch host! She answers messages in a timely manner and the house easily accommodated our family of 5 and is near attractions in Gloucester and Rockport. She left a very helpful binder full of information and even spoke to us in person when we arrived and answered all of our questions. We went to Hammond Castle, went on a whale watching cruise (check Groupon for both companies in Gloucester), swam at Plum Cove, hiked at Halibut State Park, and took a stroll down Long Beach. We can not wait to come back. Highly recommend.
