Good vibes at Good Harbor
The house is a delight; immaculate, very comfortable, and extremely well stocked. You can walk to Good Harbor Beach, but there are no sidewalks on Whitham Street, so we dropped the children and beach chairs off at the resident’s entrance.

A wonderful week at Good Harbor
This was our third stay. The beach house is always extremely clean and bright, thoughtfully decorated and generously stocked with essentials, so close to the beach, and very comfortable for our family. Laura is a wonderful, responsive host who obviously takes pride in her property. She recently renovated the kitchen to make it even more functional.

Cottage - Gloucester
Our family had a wonderful stay. Access to the beach was as advertised. Good Harbor Beach was perfect for us and our two grandchildren. The house has everything you need for a great stay including beach chairs and a wagon to take back and forth to the beach. We are already planning next years trip.

Wonderful location and beautiful cottage
This home is beautifully decorated, comfortable and has everything you need for a wonderful stay near the beach. Although an old cottage it has been beautifully updated, including a new kitchen. Best of all are the outside decks and the view across the marsh to Good Harbor Beach, just a short walk away. Also close to Gloucester and Essex, with great restaurants.

Perfect Spring Fling Getaway
Our group of six long time friends booked Laura's cottage for a weekend. The house was comfortable, roomy and decorated so nicely. Our favorite was the deck which overlooked the marsh. We walked to the beach with the beach buggy and beach chairs provided and hung for a bit. Close drive to so many restaurants, activities, etc. The house had so much information about the area. Now for Laura - she is a terrific host and communicating with her was so easy and she was always responsive. I would definitely recommend booking the cottage.

Perfect Getaway
Laura's place is a gem and she is a terrific hostess. It is within walking distance to Good Harbor beach and drivable to all sorts of fun outings. It was the perfect size for our family of 8 - our four kids and to of their partners. The living area space, deck, and kitchen allowed for both full group moments and one on one time. Laura recently redid the kitchen and it was terrific. We highly recommend making pancakes on the stovetop griddle. Thanks for a great weekend in this special home.

Wedding weekend
This was a wonderful location for myself and family while my nephew got married in Gloucester. Every place I looked up to go to was 6 minutes away! My only concern was that since there had been heavy rain, the road was a bit treacherous (a taxi nearly stalled out in the lower section of the road.) Would love return in the warmer days of the year!

This charming home fit my wife and me, our two daughters and their husbands perfectly for Christmas. The beach is less that a mile away and it’s a beautiful place to walk. The living room is comfortable with a couch and two stuffed chairs, a desk and a reading area. The small dining room sat the six of us. The kitchen is well-appointed with pots, pans, utensils and lovely dishes.

Beautiful!! And most importantly... CLEAN!!
We took our annual girls trip to Salem this year for the witch museum tour. I was a little nervous renting a vrbo again because the one last year was awful!! As soon as we walked in this place took my breath away!! It was adorable!! A huge wrap around porch with the cutest seating set up. A beautiful flag stone garden... complete with chipmunks and wild bunnies running around... But for me the best part was the cleanliness!! I have issues with OCD so even alittle area of dirt has my anxiety at an all time high and can ruin a whole trip for me... you guys I walked in to the cleanest and cutest little place EVER! We were absolutely impressed beyond words. I'm so grateful to the owner for actually taking pride and care in having such a clean environment. No bugs even though it's backed up to a marsh... no webs... no dust... the decor was so cute and the beds were so comfy. I don't think the central air was working but I'm not sure there was any but I don't think it was even needed...there were ceiling fans in almost every room and just having those on was perfect!! The owner was really really nice and my daughter was tickled that she kept called her "honey" when they talked on the phone... maybe it's an east coast thing... everyone we came in to contact with was so nice I can't even believe how nice they are there... I'm definitely going back to this little place!! Thank you so much for such an amazing experience... if you are thinking about this rental, look no further
