Prime Gloucester Property Overlooking Inner Harbor - CLOSING DECEMBER 15, 2024

We are closing our vacation rental at the end of 2024 for personal reasons.

This 2BR/2BA apartment comfortably accommodates four on vacation or in town, but it’s also a perfect getaway for anyone looking for a small slice of heaven on Cape Ann. We are a very pet friendly venue.

This apartment is on the second floor of our house, where we live, with our gorgeous landscape and amazing views of Gloucester's Inner Harbor. Within this apartment, there are two bedrooms each with its own private bathroom. The master bedroom has a queen bed and a twin bed and a hidden trundle bed for young children with a full bathroom with soaking tub. The second bedroom, off of the living area, has a queen bed and a bathroom with a shower stall. Each bedroom is ideal for couples traveling together, but the twin & trundle bed make it flexible for up to 6 people. The living room couch is extra long and comfy for sleeping but it is not a sleep-sofa.

The apartment has its own separate entrance and our guests tell they feel they have a lot of privacy while staying with us, even though we share the same house. There is off-street parking for up to 3 cars. The open living-dining space has a dining room table that can seat 4, flat screen TV with premium Comcast cable, WiFi, a comfy sofa with coffee table, two over-sized chairs, and a breakfast bar with stools at the kitchen counter. The well-equipped kitchen has an oven/stove, fridge with freezer, coffeemaker, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, and full set of dishes, pots & pans, flatware and many utensils. If anything is missing, just let us know. We’re right downstairs!

I am Rebecca and manage this property. I live on the first floor below this apartment with my retired mother, Dot, (aka 'Gloucester Quilter') who quilts and gardens at home. One of us is always on hand to attend to any question or concern.

We are very knowledgeable about how best to experience the North Shore and day trips in our region and towns across New England. PLEASE submit a property inquiry through this portal for a personalized quote. We will reply with a quote along with our comprehensive, 6-page, visitors guide which includes heaps of local do's and don'ts.

Lovely host, lovely setting, close to our favorite beach!
The host was just wonderful, accommodating and welcoming! Comfortable apartment with sweet landscaped property and salt water pool! The only minor improvements I could think of would be a screen on the back door and an upgrade to the clothes line.

We are so happy with our stay with Rebecca and Dot! The house and yard are wonderful. The location makes it easy to walk to parks and shopping and restaurants are also nearby. Bonus that we were able to bring out 8 year old Yellow Lab who loved playing with Dash.

This is a well furnished two bedroom apartment with an amazing view and a warm and welcoming host. It is a great spot for people traveling with pets as the landlord has a very sweet dog. It is very comfortable. A home away from home.

The rental space is on the 2nd floor of the home. The upstairs doors do not have locks on them, the house door is usually left unlocked , but a key is given to you upon request. The beds and linens are quite comfy and each bed has a beautiful handmade quilt on them.Squirrels walking on the roof wake you up at 7am. There was quite alot of dog fur in the master bedroom. You can hear talking and noise if you sleep in the master bedroom.

Super cute
Beautiful property. Dot couldn't have been more pleasant to deal with. Rebecca was away for the weekend that we were there, but gave me Dot's phone number, we were running behind schedule and i wanted to let her know. What gracious hosts. And Dash the dog was so friendly. We really enjoyed the house. Is was set up perfectly and had everything you could have needed. And I needed an iron and Dot told me right where to find it. We cant wait to go back.

Quick wedding stay
We were in town for my son's wedding, and the apartment was very convenient to the events. The accommodations were especially comfortable, with each of the bedrooms having it's own bath, and my daughter was able to have her children in her room with her. Rebecca was helpful getting us settled, and finding toys and crayons for the kids. I wish our stay was a little longer, and that we could have enjoyed more of the lovely surroundings!

Great View of the Harbor
This apartment is the second floor of a home, as said in the listing. There is a private entrance, which we thought was from the outside. Not sure why, but that's what we had expected. The entrance, though, is by a staircase inside the house. The owner and her mom live on the first floor, but they close off the door into their living space so that the staircase is private. It felt a little weird at first to go into their house. But it worked out fine, and we had lots of privacy The apartment is clean, but it is a little dated. The furniture was fine, beds and linens were great, but the appliances were old showed their age. If I could change anything about the apartment it would be to replace the stove and fridge. The view of the harbor from the living room is gorgeous. We enjoyed our stay and were comfortable.
