Excellent! Exactly as described. Clean, comfortable, decorated, great shower! True home away from home. Linda has done all the work for you. All great recommendations!
We felt comfortable the moment we entered Summerwind Cottage. Everything about the property was well planned, executed, and maintained. We loved sitting on the deck watching the activity in the marina, eating our meals, and seeing the sunsets. Our host made sure we had everything we needed. And we were delighted when we found Good Harbor Beach on our morning walk.
This gem of a house had all the amenities that i need. The veiw was So Gorgeous, im already missing it. Also missing that fresh air, fresh fish. This was my first time to the east coast and im in love.
Everything was perfect. The home was so clean and had everything we needed, even extras like coffee and creamer for mornings on the beautiful deck. The sunset was incredible in the evenings. Linda was so kind and even stopped by to see if we needed anything. The area is beautiful and you HAVE to try the Chicken Vodka Pasta from The Lobster which is just a short walk away (we had it twice in 2 days - that’s how good!).
The house was cute. I’ve stayed at several other houses using VRBO and this was my least favorite. The house was not easy for getting vehicles in and out of the area. The towels smelled moldy and the beds and bedding were uncomfortable.
We were really impressed with Summerwind cottage, it was beautifully decorated, and comfortable. Linda gave us great recommendation on what to do/see in the area. We can't wait to visit again.
We couldn’t have been happier with our stay!! We had a family wedding & this was the perfect place to stay!! The porch offers a gorgeous view of the harbor & we look forward to returning to explore the area. Linda is a wonderful host & super welcoming!!
Another fabulous stay that did not disappoint! Linda and Hank are attentive and enthusiastic hosts who have dedicated themselves to making our stay outstanding!!

Great house
This was a great place to stay. Nice and quiet with all the amenities needed. The owner is very nice as well! We would rent again.
We were there for a long, adults-only weekend to visit Salem and this cottage did not disappoint. Cottage is exactly as described and the owner Linda was very friendly, pleasant, and helpful! Can't wait to be back for another trip.
We spent a week touring Cape Ann and this property was a perfect location for our vacation. House was clean, very well appointed, comfortable, and located with a beautiful view of the Harbor from the outdoor deck and from inside. This was a perfect location base camp for daily excursions all over Cape Ann and Cape Cod. We enjoyed this house and highly recommend this property.
Great rental. Extremely well decorated, comfortable furniture, well equipped kitchen. Nice bright windows. Extremely clean and well maintained. Great deck set up with view of part of the harbor. Really good seafood takeout a 3-minute walk away. 5-minute drive to downtown; parking is tight but we got parking easily 1-2 short blocks off Main Street. Great seafood restaurants and a nice Italian section too.
Definitely would return and definitely recommend this property.
Our stay was great. Linda was a perfect host - nearby if needed but gave us our privacy. The house was lovely and just as depicted. Lots of things to do - many within walking distance. Hope to return!
We had a great stay at in Gloucester. The house was very clean and well taken care of. The town and beaches were great. It was perfect for our family getaway. Linda was great and easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend the trip.
We truly enjoyed our week in Gloucester. All of the suggestions about where to eat and places to visit. Our favorite beach was Long Beach and our favorite activity was the sunset schooner sail. We will definitely stay here again!
Linda was a great host —she gave us lots of helpful tips on things to do and see. The cottage is cozy: Comfortable bed and great water pressure in the shower. Thanks for a great stay.
We enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Linda was very attentive to us and made sure we had everything we needed. Sunsets were memorable!
We loved the warm welcome we had from the owner, Linda. The house was clean and perfectly provisioned with everything we needed. We were well located to visit Boston (via train) and surrounding areas. We loved our stay!
I highly recommend this home.
