Cripple Cove Apartment in historic home across from harbour in Gloucester, MA

October is coming and that means that Haunted Happenings in Salem, Massachusetts is in full swing. come stay in Gloucester and take the train to Salem. It is a 15 to 20 minute train ride from Gloucester and puts you right in the middle of all the spookey action. Bring your costume!

If Salem is not a draw, just come and relax and enjoy all that Gloucester has to offer in the fall. Then this desirable East Gloucester apartment in a historic home is perfect for you! It sits directly across from one of Gloucester's working maritime harbors, Cripple Cove. It is a scenic 15 minute walk (.07 mile) or 5 minute drive to Good Harbor Beach Footbridge and Gloucester's famous Harbor Loop with the Fishermen's Memorial.

You have so many choices: enjoy vibrant downtown Gloucester, Rocky Neck Artist's Colony, golf, so many great restaurants, shopping, museums, art galleries, and the hiking...there are so many beautiful trails, boating, whales watch tours, sailing, and kayaking, and so much more. Easy highway, local ferry, train and bus access.

This unique apartment adorns a lovely garden which serves as entrance to the second floor which leads into a combo kitchen/ living room with harbor views. Full bath with view into the garden is off of the living room. Head up to the third floor and there are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed, the other with two twin beds. Laundry in basement.

Parking is available in the home's driveway, in front or across at the harbor parking lot. Spend relaxing time reading, playing or just relaxing in one of several garden rooms.

Family trip to Gloucester

The apartment was really nice! The decoration and layout of the place was great. It was the perfect size for 4 of us. The location was fantastic! It had a nice view of the marina which we really enjoyed. And our host, Linda, was lovely! Super friendly and helpful and responsive . We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Loved the location and views!!!

Miss Linda, out host was absolutely amazing. My fiance and I just came back from a week there with our family. We were married in Massachusetts during our stay and we couldn't have picked a better location or host for our first visit to New England. Miss Linda provided everything that we needed and accommodating to our needs.we look forward to a future visit on an anniversary. The Newlyweds 💚

I would stay there again.

The location and host are absolutely perfect for seeing all of Gloucester. Museums, restaurants and art gallaries are everywhere in Gloucester and Rockport (minutes away). Our stay was not without a surprise or two. For example a - heads up - for those that have trouble navigating quaint narrow/short tread stairways : My wife took it slow and was able to adjust (no biggy).

Cute New England Home

Cute New England home. This is an area in an apartment above where the property manager lives. There is a little shared space on the staircase, although she provides much privacy. Linda was very accommodating and made sure our stay was comfortable. Great views from the home and easy access to the home. Just 30 mins from Salem.

Good value, next to a tasty restaurant

This tidy home met our needs and was walkable to Good Harbor Beach. While it's not a terribly long walk, it feels longer with kids and carrying beach stuff. Hearing the seagulls and boats through the front windows was nice. The bedrooms are on the third floor and a bit stuffy on hot days. There are window AC units, which are adequate, but need some time to cool off the rooms. The host was very pleasant and gave us plenty of space, but I would note that if you're looking for privacy, this is not your best bet. She lives on the lower floors and there is a shared staircase to get to the bedrooms. If you've got the money to spend, staying in one of the hotels that overlook the ocean is nice, but this rental is half the cost of one of those hotels.

Great views!

This rental was great for our trip to Gloucester for the St. Peter’s Festival. Great location. Beautiful view! Great response by host for check in and during our stay. There are a lot of steps to manage and it is an older home with older floors and some step ups/unique steps in places so make sure everyone is agile. We are an older couple and managed fine! Great air conditioning too! We were there during a hot weekend!

Linda was a wonderful host and exceptional at helping with arriving later than expected due to car troubles. The her home was charming. The building is an old Gloucester home that is charming and comfortable. The attention to detail was amazing. Her garden outback was beautiful. And it is so close to the harbor and everything that was so convenient. We would love to come back again. Thank you so much.

Rustic and cozy with lots of stairs

My daughter and I enjoyed 2 weeks at the property for quarantine. We felt safe and secure. The manager was friendly and attentive. The neighborhood was quiet at night. The apartment is up 2 flights of stairs, and then the bedrooms are up an additional set of steep, narrow stairs. The beds were very comfortable, but the ceilings are low. The small bathroom was on the “lower” level and could only accommodate one person at a time. The living area was also small but cozy. The refrigerator is a good size, and we used the microwave, toaster oven, and coffee pot. Laundry was available two flights down in the basement.

Nice week in Gloucester

Linda was a wonderful host, very gracious. Lovely back yard and gardens, and cozy bedrooms. The living room area was very tight though, and there was no table inside for the family to eat; there is a good table in the back yard. Also have to plan meals that don’t require the use of a stove. Easy walk to downtown and to Rocky Neck area.
