About this property
All-Season Beach Haven - walk to two beaches!
If you don't know Gloucester, a stay at our Beach Haven is the best way to experience it - and if you do know it, you'll appreciate the access to great views, perfect light, and a wonderful little town. Read on...
The house: A very short walk to Gloucester's two best beaches, Good Harbor & Long Beach, our Beach Haven has breathtaking views from the living room and spectacular roof deck. (No busy roads to cross to get to the beach.) From the deck, you can enjoy your morning coffee or dinner & cocktails while breathing the sea air and watching the waves over Salt Island. The roof-top shower lets you gaze at the clouds and feel the ocean breeze while washing off the sand after a long day at the beach. A perfect respite from your busy days.
The town: We also highly recommend a trip or two to the wonderful harbor/fishing town (10 min drive) for super fun and eclectic shopping, more than a few casual or elegant restaurants and cafes, museums, whale watching excursions and more. This 400 year old port has a deep, proud history - never a dull moment. We absolutely love it here and so will you. Come visit!

About the host
Hosted by Jeanne Barron
We are from Western Massachusetts and live in small liberal arts college town surrounded by the Berkshire mountains. We love a busy, fun vibe -- it's one of the reasons we chose to come to Gloucester! There's so much to do and not just on the beach (though no matter the season, that can't be beat!). We love biking along the back shore, walking along the ocean, eating at any of the terrific restaurants in town - casual and gourmet options abound - and entertaining friends and family on the deck! Mostly we love sharing our place with folks who may not know the wonders of Gloucester - it's truly one of a kind.
Why they chose this property
The super friendly neighborhood is uniquely situated between two beautiful beaches and we have loved coming here for almost 15 years. It's never "too" busy, you'll often see families walking to the beach or for soft serve and pizza (right at the end of our street!) and jogging or biking around Brier Neck. It's a lovely vibe.
What makes this property unique
Our rooftop deck provides a respite from a busy day...take advantage of the outdoor shower, lounge with a book, or enjoy a meal with family and friends. It's a complete breath of wonderful, fresh sea air! (Another perk: No need to jockey for parking spots - two beaches within 5-10 minutes walk!)
