About the host
Hosted by John O'Hara
I have been a VRBO host for over 18 years, with two beach properties in Gloucester. I grew up on Cape Ann and have traveled the world extensively only to have realized how special this part of the world is. Most amazingly, it has not changed and remains the same quaint New England coastal village of the past...and undiscovered by most.
Why they chose this property
I built this house in 2001 taking the design concepts off of old New England coastal homes and cottages. I incorporated modern open concept, minimal furniture and high ceilings with transom windows to capture the South facing natural light. In addition, i used plenty of white bead board, driftwood stained wooden walls and Fir flooring/doors to give this house an open bright and beachy comfortable feel. Step out thru the French sliding doors to the very large wrap around porch outside w/Adirondack chairs and teak patio set which is perfect for morning coffee, lunch or use the gas grill for a family BBQ at night as the kids play in the yard!
What makes this property unique
Walk to the beach, corner store, restaurants and shops or hike to the Trustees of the Reservation trails at end of beach to Bungalow Hill or the Great Lawn to see Boston Skyline sunsets. Watch the magnificent nightly sunsets with the locals walking your dog on Shore Rd and dine at breakfast, lunch cafe and evening restaurants.
*** A seven day rental is eligible for Singing Beach & White Beach parking pass through Town of Manchester for $50 fee.
