Cute house, a little tight for 6 adults
Cute old house, built in the 1920s with 1500 sq feet- we had to look it up because it felt very small with the 6 of us. It’s 3 floors with extremely tight stairs and very uneven wood floors, all of us mentioned feeling off balanced, and one of us fell pretty hard down the stairs. There is one tv in a very tight sitting room on the first floor, definitely not comfortable for 6 adults but probably could feel better with small kids. There is a love seat by the tv with 4 chairs for the rest. The outdoor space is nice with a cleanish BBQ.

Fun times in Gloucester
Beautifully decorated home with comfortable beds and nice outdoor spaces. Third floor bedroom was a great space for kids with lots of room but might be difficult for people with mobility limitations. Don't miss the Harbor cruise which is an easy walk from the house. Stage Fort Park and Wingaersheek beach (at low tide if possible for a walk on the sandbar) were also highlights especially with children.

We really enjoyed our stay in Gloucester. The cottage was very clean and quiet. We were able to travel into Boston or Salem daily with no issues. The restaurants in Gloucester were great as well. There is a small pizza/sandwich place not far away called Firing Up. Came in handy for two hungry teens. Allie is a terrific host and very responsive! Five stars!!!

Fabulous Family Weekend!
We had a lovely stay in Gloucester. Great location with partial views of water from a few rooms and great view from bunk room. Very close walk to beach and Rocky Neck. All the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. House very thoughtfully stocked including sound machines in the bedrooms! We tend to go to the "other" cape (Chatham) but wanted a change and this place exceeded our expectations. We will be back! Thank you!

Cute Cottage Feel
Allie maintains her property with a true attention to detail. She offered flexibility and understanding as we worked to find a safe and comfortable place to stay in Gloucester. As the rare Gloucester visitor planning to dress for a semiformal occasion, we discovered the need for an iron and hangars. But, Allie worked with us to solve that. We cooked all of our meals and found the kitchen to be well appointed with new appliances, pot, pans, utensils and 3-burner Weber grill we successfully used. When we return to Gloucester we will be sure to connect with Allie for another stay!

Comfy and convenient
We stayed over the Thanksgiving week. Great location if you're looking to get away from the city and be near the water (it really is just a 2m walk away). All the conveniences to help make a longer stay comfortable - central air, washer/dryer, stocked kitchen. Only suggestion is to add shades / curtains on all the windows/doors downstairs. No concerns about safety or the neighborhood but we felt a bit exposed at night. Note this house has a lot of stairs (some are steep) and little steps scattered throughout. We got used to it but worth noting. We visit Boston regularly to see family and would definitely return to this property. It's a gem!

Gloucester home rental
The property was perfect for our group of 7. Very comfortable. Good water views. Weather didn't allow us to use the outdoor deck space which would have been perfect. Good location to restaurants and other places we visited. First floor bathroom location for the third floor bedroom occupants was a bit of a challenge especially at night with the tight staircase but they managed. Would stay in the house again.

Very nice house with a lot of charm.
House was comfortable and well equipped. Very clean and close to the beach and town. A wonderful stay! One suggestion, stairs are steep and somewhat tricky for our older friends. A safety handrail near the top would be helpful as would one for the tub in the main bath All in all, we really had a nice weekend stay

Great place
We were in Gloucester for a wedding and opted to make it a long weekend so we could get in some beach time. Our family of four really enjoyed this lovely little beach house. It is clean, comfortable, and cozy with great light and airflow. Furniture and bedding and appliances are all new. The kitchen is functional and pleasant. It is truly a 2 minute walk to Niles beach, and a quick drive to the more renown beaches in town. The house is nestled in a neighborhood that is pleasant for walking and running. A highlight was our long walk through a beautiful waterfront neighborhood to to Eastern Point Lighthouse. Although it was nice to stay at the house to play a board game or read as well. The house has some games and books on hand in case you forgot yours. We appreciated luxurious touches including high-quality linens and beds, working AC in each bedroom, and sky lights with shades. Allie clearly put a lot of effort into rehabbing a cute cottage so that it feels updated and stylish. A truly welcoming and relaxing get-away.

Myself and four friends stayed for a girls trip. The house was spotless, had plenty of room for us all, and was in a great location. We stayed on one of the hottest weekends of the summer and the AC kept the bedrooms super cool and comfortable. We felt safe staying here and enjoyed the extra touches like the board games and the beach towels. Allie was a great host. She was super responsive, checked in on us multiple times, and gave great recommendations. We all agreed we would stay here again! Thanks Allie!
