Reviews
Great place!
5/5 The house is clean and nice, but it's the view that's fantastic. We could sit and watch the birds, the boats, and the marsh grasses for hours. Gordon is friendly and very responsive. We really enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful property
5/5 Beautiful property right on the marsh - so fun watching the egrets and herons and going to the beautiful Gloucester beaches. Great getaway

We walked in and started our fun. Great memories were made there!
5/5 The home was perfectly clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. The yard was perfect for spending lots of time outside and the view was serene. It was close to dining, ice cream, boating and Dunkin. All within walking distance. Highly recommend.

Clean and comfortable
5/5 The house was very clean when we arrived. Had everything we needed from towels to kitchen necessities. Great view and location to the beach. Only negative for us was that we could not bring our dog. Otherwise it was perfect.
