"Janet the owner was the the sweetest thing ever and consistently helpful with things like directions, recommendations, etc often before I even had to ask! The cottage has the tiny house feel and is perfectly located for all adventures to surrounding areas. We did Boston, Salem, Gloucester, Berlin, Rockport, Woodstock. Vermont, Concorde, New Hampshire, etc. and it made things super easy to accomplish a ton in 6 days. The town of Rockport itself is precious and I highly recommend Brothers Brew for...

"We have been to Irish Mist many times..it is clean and inviting and a great place to enjoy family and the ocean.."

"Loved every minute of it. Excellent location directly at the water and the shops and restaurants. The house is very well appointed with new and modern appliances and bathroom. Beds were super comfy and house is very cozy and super clean. The deck/balcony with view on the water is wonderful. The house is very quiet. Communication with the owner is excellent and check in and check out process are straightforward and easy. The owner really goes above and beyond to make this a memorable and...

"We enjoyed a lovely little Anniversary getaway. The accommodations and lounging poolside simply cannot be beat- everything was so beautiful and peaceful! We also got to meet the sweetest Kipling as we were departing for home, another delightful surprise. We so thoroughly enjoyed our time there- our only complaint is we had to leave! :) "

"Our family (2 adults, 2 teens) had the most wonderful, relaxing long weekend getaway here at the Bass Ave Bungalow. The property is clean, adorably decorated/furnished, has a peaceful, open vibe, including a lovely bright kitchen, and huge cozy sectional for lounging, reading, and our favorite- family game time. The beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, and we absolutely loved the quaint side yard and cornhole set! We also took full advantage of the convenient location, walking distance of...

"We stayed at the Shore Cottage in Gloucester, the space was so beautiful and just enough space for my wife and I. Meghan is truly amazing and worked with us for an early check-in in such a timely manner, we felt so welcomed and truly appreciated our little welcome basket as well as our stay! We recommend Gloucester and The Shore Cottage to everyone! Thank you so much for such a wonderful Weekend Getaway! "

"We had a wonderful and comfortable stay. The owner was gracious and got back to us immediately with answers to our questions. Being so close to the beach and able to hear the ocean was so soothing. Would highly recommend this to anyone."

"Cute little ranch just down the street from the main road in Gloucester. Slept 4 adults comfortably and had everything you needed. Mile Marker One restaurant is within a half of a mile as well as a nice gas station/convenient store. Nice outdoor seating to watch the boats while having a drink. Under 3 mi from Hammond Castle and about 15 mi from Rockport and Salem."

"There's no other residence in sight from this lovely, quiet, waterfront setting just a mile from town. The house is vintage in all ways (except for one minisplit), a delightful step back in time. This includes the very basic and cramped kitchen, which was fine with us. We still did plenty of cooking and happily washed our own dishes--again, an old-school vacation. I suspect the house would be pretty hot in a heat wave, as all rooms except the main living/dining room are cooled with fans only,...

"Great scenic location with very comfortable accommodations. "

"Perfect little cottage for my husband and I and our two dogs. Lots of day trips to see the sites and walk the dogs. Denise is a great host and easy to communicate with. Loved our stay, would definitely recommend!"
