"The Quiet Single Family House was the perfect place to stay for our group of a mom and 3 college-aged girls. We had plenty of space, the home was very clean and comfortable, and we were central to everything we wanted to do in the area. The neighborhood was peaceful and it wasn’t far to restaurants and grocery stores. The homeowner was a great source of information on things to do in the area as well as very responsive to any questions I had. I’d definitely rent from her again. We had a...

"House is so charming and comfy! Well-equipped kitchen for meals in"

"This was a convenient pick for us, being only about 1.5 miles from other family members home. We didn't spend much time there but it was very comfortable. The weather got very cold for a few days, below freezing and we had no hot water upstairs. I contacted management and they had someone out within hours, ON A SUNDAY and started addressing the problem. I would stay here again."

"Home was perfect for our family get together. Location was super close to downtown shops and tours. Plenty of towels and blankets. Lots of hot water for our group of 10. We had 3 vehicles and had a pretty easy time street parking one. Check in email was detailed and helpful. Check out process was simple, for which we were very grateful. Great stay overall!"

"The property was true to the write up. It was well located, close to the beaches. Downtown Newburyport was a quick drive. We also drove to Rockport during our trip, about 45 minutes away, passing through Ipswich on the way."

"We’re a band from Jersey. We play at Ned Devines and The Harp in Boston a few times a year. As a band, budgeting is crucial. Housing 4 people can be super expensive. This property has a great price point allowing some money left over in the budget to buy groceries at a close by grocery store. We were able to check in, go to the gym together, grocery shop, and relax, all before heading to the venue to check in. Finding a place with a clean safe neighborhood for parking our vehicles and feeling...

"Quick weekend trip to see our daughter in college. Beautiful little cottage and communication was great. Very clean and cozy"

"Beautiful home, spacious, clean, warm, and cozy. Enough space for a family of 5. The neighborhood was easy to find and navigate. The mattresses were not as supportive as we’re used to but we didn’t go to Boston/Chelsea to sleep. The shower was excellent. The owner lives close by which came in handy when the smoke detectors went off on our first night and we couldn’t figure out why. He was prompt in making sure we were safe and the house wasn’t burning and then proceeded to take care of the...

"We visited Gloucester with our 3 adult children and the 5 of us had plenty of space in this great home. Walking distance to great lobster, coffee shops and bakeries. "

"Everything was great. The host warned us that the drive way will only fit 4 cars comfortably, but we were able to fit 6 cars with plenty of room to spare. Perhaps there may be problems if there were big snow banks. "

3 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets

"The house was perfect. Plenty of towels and extra bedding. Check in was a breeze. Everything is labeled in the house and there is no confusion as to what light switch does what or what’s in each cabinet and closet. If we come back for vacation we definitely will stay again."

"Place was great and host linda was very accommodating "

"My husband, sister, and brother in law and I stayed here for 3 nights and were very pleased. The house was cozy and in a peaceful neighborhood. We loved staying here however the water does take a while to heat up and the shower water pressure was very low. Minor details but overall recommended. "

"Our family stayed over Christmas. The house was a perfect size. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. The location is perfect for walking along the waterfront. The location also provides easy access to stores and restaurants in Gloucester."

"I reserved the house for 4 days just so my 17 year old daughter and her 3 best friends could spend quality time in Boston on her birthday. We really liked the house; it’s a nice space with all the necessities and very cozy. it was a great fit for our family and we truly enjoyed it. It’s actually minutes to everything in Boston, and we would stay there again if we come back into town. "

"We were looking for a place with 4 rooms that weren't super crowded and had enough places to park and we came across this listing. It's a bit "Harry Potter" like, in a sense that it has corridors and rooms that connect up and down from different directions and It's very cool. I love that the living room area has a high ceiling and is open to the 2nd floor so you don't feel crowded at all even if everyone is in the same living room. Before getting there, google map said it would be a 15 minute...

"Beautiful area next to the pond, quiet and peaceful!"

"We needed a place close to home while we had some remodeling done. This home was more than we expected. Aptly named Serenity as it was a haven for the two weeks we had to live away. We also had our two furbabies with us. The kitchen was a chef's dream. "
