Wonderful Stay

I recently stayed at this beautiful home in Gloucester and had an amazing experience! The property was incredibly spacious, providing more than enough room for everyone in our group to relax comfortably. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, which made our stay feel even more welcoming. The hosts were fantastic—communication was seamless from start to finish. They were quick to respond and provided all the information we needed to make our stay enjoyable and stress-free. The house itself was in a great location, perfect for exploring the stunning coastal scenery of Gloucester. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and well-managed place to stay. We can't wait to return!

A Beautiful house for a beautiful trip

This home was the perfect retreat for our girls getaway. The house was very clean, welcoming, and had more than enough space for our group of 5. The view of the sea from the balcony was absolutely breathtaking and the neighborhood is like something from a movie. Rafal is a friendly and attentive host. Highly recommend this home to anyone planning a trip to the area!

reunion with brother and sisters

We grew up in the 50's thru the 80's in nearby Lynn. Picked Rafaels house because of its location and open floor plan. Having 3 bedrooms each with a full bath was exceptional and a must have for our crowd of 2 married and one single. We enjoyed the deck and view of the ocean. very nice and would recomend the house to others.

Comfortable house, beautiful setting, great location

A dream vacation home for our family of 6 - ages 20-80. A beautiful home nestled between the spring bloom of trees and the Atlantic Ocean - a great combination of beach living and "mountain" living. The floor plan is ideal for together time and private time. Loved the clean fresh look and new appliances. Furniture and beds were comfortable. Morning tea on the deck with chipmunks, squirrels, and birds frolicking in the back yard is the perfect way to start the day. This house is located in a quiet setting with easy access to places we wanted to visit. If there were more than five starts, I would have given it more.

Gorgeous area and house

I've been to a lot of New England but never Gloucester before and it's beautiful. Well worth exploring for seafaring charm. My group loved this house. As described, very comfortable. We used all 4 bedrooms and although the twin room is a bit spartan, still comfortable. Many places to sit and read or hang out. The weather didn't really allow us to sit on the deck but it looked wonderful. Rafal was a responsive and friendly host. Check in and out were easy. Just be careful backing out of the driveway! Otherwise, you will have a great time and come home very relaxed.

Weekend Getaway near Gloucester

Communication with Rafal was easy and quick both before and during our stay. The home met our expectations providing us with everything we needed to do a few home cooked meals during our stay. We spent a majority of the time upstairs between the kitchen and living room with views of the ocean just across the street. Gloucester was only about 5 minutes away and provided easy access to a number of restaurants as well as whale watching tours.

Christmas in Cape Ann

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

Ideal and a Great Deal

I cannot say enough good things about this property. The location in Gloucester was perfect for day-trips to Boston, Salem, and other nearby "must-see" things. The immediate area/neighborhood was pure, Norman Rockwell "New England Autumn" (the time we stayed there) with glorious, old treas and a very nice view of the bay. The home itself was perfect for a family, or a few couples to stay, socialize, and still have ample personal space. Everything was clean and well-maintained,, and an abundance of nearby markets and restaurants made it easy to stay there. This property was a great choice for me and my group.

Magnolia is a lovely section of Gloucester with a "downtown" of its own. Hammond Castle , almost across the street is a must see. Take the tour, the guides are delightful. The property is spacious, comfortable, and has everything you need. There is a brand new deck with water views and downtown Gloucester and Rock Port are minutes away.

We were moving our son out of his college dorm and decided to spend a week in Gloucester. This location was perfect with really great views. Everything was very clean.
