House was exactly as described. Super clean, big enough for the entire group and a beautiful view in the back! Close to everything!

This cottage is exactly as described, charming in every way, featuring a large living room, four bedrooms, a nice kitchen & eating area, and a beautiful deck overlooking the marsh, with a view of the ocean. It's a short walk to Good Harbor Beach. Lots of attention to detail, beautiful artwork adorning the walls, and pretty quilts everywhere. Everything we needed was provided. It was comfortable and cozy, perfect for our family weekend. It seemed we were in a bird estuary, and we recorded a dozen different birds in just a few minutes. The location is convenient to most everything. We would definitely look forward to staying here again, on our next trip to Rockport and Gloucester.

We really enjoyed The Howard Cottage! It’s cute as can be and communication with the owner is top notch. It had everything we needed and the town grocery store, Shaws, was just down the road.

Very nice house, recent bath and kitchen fixtures, quiet location, walking distance to beach. Easy and good communication during stay (although we didn't have any issues).

This home is beautifully decorated, comfortable and has everything you need for a wonderful stay near the beach. Although an old cottage it has been beautifully updated, including a new kitchen. Best of all are the outside decks and the view across the marsh to Good Harbor Beach, just a short walk away. Also close to Gloucester and Essex, with great restaurants.

Our family had a wonderful stay. Access to the beach was as advertised. Good Harbor Beach was perfect for us and our two grandchildren. The house has everything you need for a great stay including beach chairs and a wagon to take back and forth to the beach. We are already planning next years trip.

The house is a delight; immaculate, very comfortable, and extremely well stocked. You can walk to Good Harbor Beach, but there are no sidewalks on Whitham Street, so we dropped the children and beach chairs off at the resident’s entrance.

The home was lovely. It had great artwork. There was ample sleeping space. Our view off the back and the deck was all beautiful marsh land teaming with birds. We were going to a family wedding and the location was perfect, an eight minute drive.
