Fall getaway
Walking into the house upon our arrival was absolutely breathtaking. We walked onto the porch to a perfect sea view and the wind blowing through the opened windows, it was picturesque. Bob, the owner, was great with communicating with us during our trip for any needs that arised. The house was fully stocked with linens, towels, paper towels, toilet paper, and all of the other necessities needed for a long weekend fall getaway to the beach. We are already planning our return trip!

Great location right on the beach
Location, location, location. Right on the beach in beautiful Magnolia. Family loved being able to wake up to the awesome view and coffee and breakfast in the enclosed porch overlooking the water. It was easy for young children to play in the gorgeous grassy yard and on the sand. We all loved going for long beach walks and fishing off the new pier. Great restaurants nearby and easy to get to a grocery store and Gloucester center. The house is a basic beach house and the bathrooms are dated and could use some comfortable renovations. We enjoyed our week together at this house and Bob, the owner, is very accommodating, helpful and friendly. A good place to be on the beach.

Second stay as good as the first!
Once again we had a wonderful time staying at this beach house! I knew from our stay before that all we needed to pack were clothes and bring some food. Bob, the owner has made sure that the house has everything you will need. You can't beat the location right on the beach with views of Magnolia Pier. Every day we woke up to watch a family of ducks make their way across the harbor. Can't wait to come back next year!

R&R
Manchester-by-the-Sea is a hidden gem! I can still hear the waves on the beach as we searched for sea glass. We had family and friends visiting and everyone just loved the location, the view and the house. The bathrooms were a bit dated but certainly worked well. There are 5+ bedrooms with very comfortable beds and plenty of room for everyone. The lower level was perfect for the younger crowd with a large TV, sitting area and game table. The living area on the main floor is very comfortable and well appointed, however we spent all of our time on the beach, on the patio and on the porch. This was a truly relaxing vacation and we all had a wonderful time.

Awesome... The perfect place to get away and enjoy Cape Anne
This house is absolutely perfect for those that enjoy the Northern Mass. coastal lifestyle. The property has a million dollar view of Magnolia Harbor, it easily to function within and comfortably accommodated our family trip with 11 adults. We utilize Vrbo properties often and this ranks at the top for many reason. As mentioned, the location is incredible, the house is very comfortable, the kitchen has everything you could possible need, parking is easy, access to the beach is a few easy steps, perfect communication with the owner, great details such as fresh flowers arranged in the kitchen and living area, lots of extra stuff to make the trip fun (kayaks, corn hole, games, chairs, etc.) There was nothing overlooked at this property. We will 100% return as a repeat customer.

Perfect Thanksgiving getaway
This property was a perfect fit for our extended family (and our dogs) to enjoy Thanksgiving weekend. The furnishings are charming and comfortable and the glassed-in/screened porch is ideal for enjoying the beach views. The modern kitchen has everything you could possibly need for cooking. Whereas most rentals supply only "starters", this host supplied more paper goods, dish soap, etc then we could possibly use. While the bathrooms could use updating to the same level as the rest of the house, they were perfectly clean and met our needs (great water pressure too!). Beds were very comfortable and the whole house was spotless. Even though it was Thanksgiving, the beach had nearly constant activity with lots of people walking their dogs. The owner, Bob, was very communicative and helpful. We highly recommend this rental and would definitely stay here again!

Idyllic stay
My family of 10 first came for the weekend & after they left 7 girlfriends came for 3 nights in perfect weather. Aside from the hurricane that was supposed to arrive the second day we were there, Mother Nature was kind to us. Our host was so accommodating & the location on this wonderfully quiet little beach, was perfect. All who came, want to come back!

Magnolia Beach
Wonderful family house on the beach, we wanted a property in the same area as some family friends - we know the area well and Magnolia Beach was a perfect fit. The house had everything we needed with the big bonus of being able to bring our dog, plus the garage was full of beach toys and games. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bedrooms and reception rooms were comfortable and suited our needs. We were so thrilled with the garden, beach and house that we didn't venture very far. It is a gem of a property & Bob was a great host.

Memorable vacation stay
We rented this property for our daughter and her family, two adults and 5 young children. The children practically lived on the beach each day. The house is spacious enough to provide enough room for a large family to spread out and be comfortable. Bob, the owner, went above and beyond to provide the best communication and support we've ever had in any rental we've done. We all appreciated his thoughtfulness and willingness to accommodate the needs of parents with many young children. It's a vacation they'll never forget.

Quintessential New England Beach Cottage
I almost hate to write this review, because I would love to keep this beach house my little secret. A beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers welcomed our arrival to this well maintained gem. And then you are drawn to the amazing sun porch that overlooks the patio and beach. I have to be honest, I did spend a lot of time curled up under a throw blanket on the porch. And there are plenty of throw blankets! Which I have found to be very rare in a vacation rental. The decor is pretty and really relates to the area which is a nice touch. The beds are comfortable and the bedding is cozy. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, plenty of plates and glassware. A quick drive into Gloucester to the grocery store for food, marshmallows and firewood. And a 2 minute walk to the corner store for anything we might have forgotten. We spent our days walking the beach searching for sea glass and shells. Plenty of corn hole tournaments were had on the seaside lawn. Evenings were spent around the fire chatting about who was going to be brave enough to jump off the pier into the frigid ocean. Sure enough on Saturday, as the “rock” finally became submerged 3 of our bravest made the leap! We celebrated their courage that night by walking to the local pub and singing karaoke into the wee hours. We had such an amazing time here at the Magnolia Beach House. We can't wait to get back and try out the kayaks and swim during a warmer time. Bob, our host was perfect! Checking in occasionally to make sure things were going well. He did have to stop by on our last day to “batten down the hatches” because a storm was rolling in. But he contacted us beforehand to check and make sure that it was all right to come by. It was great to meet him and get a chance to chat.

Top notch Thanksgiving
Family converged from across the country to neutral location. Turned out to be sublime. A comfortable setting; it instantly felt like a home we'd lived in for years. House easily handled extended family for Thanksgiving, including feast, recreation, accommodations. Cooking and serving was easy and comfortable. Abandoned plans to sojourn to Boston; plenty to do or just chill within walking distance in Magnolia. Owners thought of everything we could need or want from a vacation stay.

Paradise Found
The experience at Bob's home was truly amazing. When we walked into the home there were 2 beautiful bouquets of flowers that were just gorgeous. The view took your breath away. It was stunning. We had a pretty large group of women with us but were never on top of each other. The enclosed porch was our favorite hang out spot unless we were outside. We were blessed with almost 80° temps in Nov. so we were outside a lot! We did a lot of cooking and never lacked a pot or kitchen tool. We enjoyed beach bonfires at night and early morning walks each day. There is such a great sense of community. We stopped and chatted with a few neighbors and enjoyed petting plenty of pups. There was plenty of sleeping areas and all the beds were comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was amazing! Bob went above and beyond for us. I had quite a few questions and he graciously answered all of them in a timely matter. We appreciated all if it! From the flowers to acquiring some fire wood for us and preparing an airmatress for us. We are all so thankful for the memories we made at this beautiful home. Thank you for such amazing hospitality.
