Perfect Beach House
This beach house has so much to offer...steps from Good Harbor Beach, wonderful deck with great view, great area to walk and just a quick walk to Bass Rocks. The house is very well kept and is cozy and comfortable! A beautiful gas fireplace to warm up by on those chilly nights. Great communication with host. Already looking forward to returning.

GHB Getaway
Delightful beach house only steps away from Good Harbor Beach. Enjoyed beautiful sunrises, shorebirds and the convenience of being so near the ocean. I found the house to be a recording of reminiscencies of earlier times in Gloucester. There were wonderful books and pictures available to enjoy. Also a collection of movies to watch if you have spare time. The fireplace was a great way to warm up on chilly days. Hope to return again.

Why they chose this property

Good Harbor Beach is truly a wonderful beach with soft clean sand & crystal clear water. Right across the foot bridge; this is just the right house to enjoy it from.
Please review pictures, this house on the beach at the footbridge, not just somewhere in the neighborhood. Note new views in photographs from updated "wall of glass" four unit slider and vent windows.

What makes this property unique

Walk to beach any time barefoot. Sit on the deck in your most comfortable clothes and savor early morning and evening quiet. One mile into Gloucester Center for everything from whale watching to urbane nightlife.
