A beautiful property in the Magnolia section of Gloucester, MA. A comfortable and spacious house with everything you could need for a pleasant stay. The driveway is a bit steep and the main bedroom bed is not very comfortable but those are only really minor complaints. The host was very responsive and polite throughout the whole process. I’d recommend this place to anyone coming to enjoy Cape Ann!

This house and location is perfection! We loved our stay and hope to come back again. Listening to the sounds of the ocean at night was as relaxing as could be.This house really has everything in it - there's a better stocked kitchen than at my house! We traveled with a one year old and a four year old - the house had everything: pack and play, pack and play mattresses, toys, high chair, kids cutlery and plates, safety items for sockets and doors, I could go on and on. There is no safety gate for the stairs but we blocked our curious toddler with the pack and play, and it worked perfectly. We would recommend staying here a million times over!

The house is beautiful, we are a family of 5 and each of my kids have their own comfortable rooms. Kitchen, bathroom and practically the entire house is well equipped for your own convenience and ease. Checking in was a breeze. The house is beautiful & close to downtown and sites in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay, & hoping to be back soonThank you to Rafal and Jessica for sharing with us their beautiful house

The house and location was perfect. Our family gathered and celebrated Christmas, we had all the room we needed. We all hope to return to this house, there was plenty of sleeping room and bathrooms, the open floor plan provided plenty of room to gather and for the kids to play. We enjoyed all the holiday festivities Cape Ann had to offer...lights, shopping, food and of coarse Santa. Not to mention the beautiful sunrise every morning viewed from the deck (yes it was cold, but so worth it). Thank you for the wonderful Christmas get away !!! Chris T. and family
