Experience Coastal Holiday Magic 🌊 Ideal for Thanksgiving & Christmas Weekends🍂🎄

Your cozy autumn escape or winter wonderland retreat awaits! Welcome to this stylish, impeccably clean beach bungalow—the ultimate seasonal getaway for family and friends.
Trade the summer crowds for crisp ocean air, peaceful mornings, and total relaxation. Wake up refreshed in your brand-new, firm queen bed, wrap yourself in comfort, and take a quick 5-minute stroll to catch a breathtaking sunrise over Good Harbor Beach.
On your way back, warm up with a hot coffee and fresh danish from Cape Ann Coffees right across the street, or head next door for a hearty, comforting breakfast at Charlie’s.
The heart of the home is the brand-new, stylish kitchen. With its large, inviting island that comfortably seats six, it is the perfect spot for long conversations, board game nights, and cooking hearty seasonal meals. The entire home is tastefully decorated in warm, earthy tones, creating a deeply relaxing, hygge-inspired atmosphere. Thanks to the large living room bay window and oversized kitchen slider, you can enjoy beautiful natural light, the foliage or frosty patio while staying perfectly warm inside.
When you want to explore, you are perfectly positioned. Gloucester Center is just a 5-minute drive away, offering an incredible selection of cozy restaurants, lively bars, and local nightlife. For easy nights in, grocery shopping is a breeze with Stop & Shop just across the street.
After a day of crisp coastal hiking, boutique shopping, or sightseeing, head back to unwind. Sink into the ultra-comfortable sectional sofa, close the curtains, and stream your favorite movies on the 65” flatscreen TV. It’s the ideal way to cap off a perfect, peaceful cooler-weather getaway!

We had a wonderful stay! The home was immaculate and incredibly cozy, equipped with everything we needed and more. There was plenty of parking in the driveway, enough for several cars and the location was perfect. We loved being able to walk to a local coffee shop, market, and other nearby spots. The beds were super comfortable, and the heat worked great on chilly evenings. It was perfect for my husband, me, and our two kids (ages 6 and 7). We would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful trip to Massachusetts! The description on VRBO was spot on. Even prettier in person. It was a beautifully decorated home and met all of our needs especially the kitchen. It was very close to Salem so easy to go back-and-forth. Love that there is a commuter train. You can take into Salem or Boston or surrounding areas.

My family and I had a wonderful stay.

House is in fantastic shape and in a very central location. They have every thing needed for a comfortable stay and being able to wash clothes in the washer and dryer is a huge plus. Beds were super comfortable and the outside patio was comfortable and had a corn hole set up. They also provided snacks that our grandkids enjoyed. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are up this way.

We walked into a wonderful home that was clean and homie. Every detail from the clean, classic fall decorations, to the snacks and other items left for us to use (laundry soap, dish washer pods and a gift card for some coffee from the shop just across the street). The house was hust a small walk to a grocery store and the beach. The owners are very thoughtful and easy to reach with any questions. We loved our stay! Thank you for having us in your home away from home!
