"Beachcomber Cottage" is just a few steps to a lovely white sandy beach, (Long Beach) where you will immediately be drawn to the gorgeous views of 'Twin Lights' Lighthouses and the rocky seashore that surrounds you.
Gloucester is a place to see and experience history.
It is America's oldest fishing port!
The working waterfront and beauty have drawn fisherman, families, artists and visitors for hundreds of years.
Enjoy a Whale watching tour and bring your fishing pole and enjoy the freshest catch! Haddock, cod and tuna can be enjoyed from the Whale Watching and Deep Sea Fishing boats.
Lighthouses date from the 1780's, and the historic downtown has over 75 restaurants serving all kinds of cuisine along with the 'freshest' of seafood.
Galleries, world class museums and the period architecture will enthrall you.
Meet artists in America's oldest working artist colony on nearby Rocky Neck.
Come and experience Cape Ann!
'Long Beach' is a protected stretch of ocean and white sand, perfect for sunbathing, walking, shelling and even surfing! Great waves and just a 1-2 minute walk from the cottage.
From Long Beach, which is steps from the cottage, you can easily see 'Twin Lights' on Thatcher's Island as shown in photo.
*'Good Harbor Beach' (walking distance from the cottage) is a 1/2 mile long barrier beach with a rocky shore and a salt marsh which is protected by sand dunes. Small shrub covered rocky 'Salt Island' is accessible at low tide.
*These 2 beaches are nestled in secluded coves with white sand and stretch for miles.
Beachcomber has 3 bedrooms: 1 King bed, 1 Queen size bed and 2 Twin Size beds.
2 full bathrooms with shower/tub combo (1 on each level)
There is one entrance with steps up to the large deck which opens into the kitchen. (Please see photo) We apologize, but Beachcomber is not handicap accessible.
A few things to note:
'Beachcomber Cottage' sleeps a maximum of 6 (Total includes adults/children and toddlers). We allow 1 well behaved pup with a 100.00 pup fee.
We only allow 5 cars in the driveway at any time.
Parking is not allowed on Long Beach Road.
(You will be towed and ticketed)
We do not allow parties and expect our guests to be respectful of our wonderful neighbors who we have known for over 50 years.
"Beachcomber Cottage" sits on an extra large, beautifully landscaped double lot filled with flowering trees, shrubs and seasonal flowers and offers a very private setting to enjoy with family and friends.
Tucked away on the lower ground floor in the rear, is a small apartment which has a very quiet, professional person who works full time.
The entrances are not shared and are 'not' close together. This does not interfere with the 2 upstairs floors which are 100% designated for your use and enjoyment.
We supply beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels.
Due to weekend traffic on Cape Ann, Check-in time is 3PM and check-out time is 9AM.
Weeks run SATURDAY - SATURDAY.
During the low season, we can offer a 4 night (minimum) at a per diem rate. Let us know if you are interested in visiting for a shorter visit and we will do our best to accommodate you.
We require a signed rental agreement which will be emailed to you once you have booked your reservation. If bringing a pup, we will also send you our simple Pet Guidelines.
We offer a moderate cancellation policy however you can purchase VRBO Trip Insurance in the unlikely event you should you have to cancel your reservation during the non-refundable time period of 15 days or less from your arrival date.
Located near the beach, this vacation home is in East Gloucester, a neighborhood in Gloucester. Schooner Adventure and Sargent House Museum are local landmarks, and some of the area's attractions include Maritime Gloucester and Rocky Neck Art Colony. Essex Shipbuilding Museum and Cogswell's Grant are also worth visiting.
