Peaceful
My stay was just what I hoped for! Peace and quiet to read and write, but also to spend time outside, breathing in the ocean air, searching for sea glass, looking at the lighthouses, and enjoying the time.

Relaxing Hideaway
This property was perfect! It was clean, comfortable and cozy. It was 2 miles from our family and we enjoyed being close to the water and town as well. The bed was comfortable, which isn't often the case in a rental. We didn't want to leave!

Hideaway in Plum Cove
A perfect spot for me to relax and rejuvenate before the holidays. Thank you Christine. I took a lovely walk to the beach and all around the neighborhood. The shopping in Gloucester was great for the holidays. I think I’m ready to take on the craziness now!

We enjoyed our stay and would consider coming back. The place was truly lovely. We would have appreciated more communication from the owners. Felt strange that they were right there next to this property, but never said hello.

Elegant Getaway
Relaxing, easy. It's nice to be able to walk to Plum Cove Beach for a dip. Had two nice meals at the Lobster Pool, two good hikes at Halibut Point (both are nearby), and explored three other local beaches. The kitchen was also well-supplied for basic cooking (spices, olive oil, etc.). Two words of caution: 1) the spiral staircase to the bedroom/loft is slippery and potentially hazardous. And 2) if you're interested in using local beaches, download the parking app and book your spots asap. We were shut out of Wingershaek (sp?), Crane's, and Good Harbor. All said, we'd definitely come again. :)

Everything was perfect. Relaxing get-away, close enough to beaches shops and restaurants, in a quiet location, with beautiful sunsets, just steps away. Can't wait to return.

Nice winter getaway from the city
Boston can be rough in winter, especially having moved to Boston recently from a small town, so it was lovely to get out of the city and stay at Plum Cove. The little cottage was lovely and peaceful, and Cape Ann was an amazing locale to explore. Can’t wait to come back to the area this summer!
