A MUST stay
Thank you for opening your house John to VRBO. Spent week summer vacation. John’s house was perfect in amenities and space for gathering, relaxing and enjoying company. Bedrooms comfortable, beach chairs provided which was awesome along with plenty of towels. The washer and dryer are a practical luxury at the beach and used the outside shower daily. Wrap porch was ideal for dinner and card games. Foliage yard border provides privacy. We also used grill one night without difficulty. John is a great host and 100% accessible by ph/text. Perfect location as close to Salem, Glouster and Newberryport. Enjoyed several walks from the house in quiet beautiful coastal community. Love it and miss it already! Thank you John

Great Spot
Really enjoyable property – John’s home was wonderful; we appreciated the cleanliness and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a great homebase to access area beaches, restaurants, etc. We were comfortable immediately, as it had everything one needs to enjoy time away from home. Kitchen is well appointed, there were plenty of towels and even beach towels. I wouldn’t describe it as a 3 bedroom, technically, but the space still worked for our group. The porch was our favorite place for playing cards/games, reading, coffee, relaxation!

Beautiful, relaxing, beach house
The dog friendly, beach house in Magnolia was lovely. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. We could hear the waves from the porch and upstairs bedrooms and it was amazing to be so close to the Magnolia beach and village. It was a unique property because it was surrounded by tree’s, with birds and bunnies in the yard. The outdoor shower was ideal.
Magnolia is a perfect beach location, a store, restaurants and spa just a short walk from the house and close to Manchester by the Sea for groceries, restaurants and Singing Beach, but also just as close to the busier, more exciting town of Gloucester. We rode our bikes to Coolidge Reservation - home of the Ocean Lawn. Gorgeous walk with breathtaking views.
John was helpful and friendly. The home itself had everything we needed: comfortable bed, ceiling fan, modern kitchen, grill, outdoor couch and tables. We loved the wrap around porch that was perfect for reading/dining in the afternoon/evening. We also loved sitting under the covered porch during the rain showers.
Great beach home. 5 out of 5 stars - highly recommend.

Adorable cottage
John was a great host! Great communication and he was willing to take time out of his day to stop by and tell us the “must sees” in the area.
House was adorable and perfect for our needs. Beach chairs, beach towels, bikes and corn hole game…all available for our use.
