Jessica D. | Nov 2024
Location is amazing! Walking distance to a lot of different shops. Loved the open concept living room and the big windows. Would definitely come back in a heart beat!
Alivia A. | Nov 2024
The house was very clean, cozy, and well stocked. There were crisp clean sheets on comfortable bed, plenty of fresh towels, all of the kitchen items/gadgets you'd expect. Decor was tasteful. Good location - close to the beach and downtown Gloucester. Quiet neighborhood.

History of Gloucester, MA

With a history dating back to 1623, the town we know as Gloucester (pronounced "gloster") has a long and interesting background. The area was originally founded at Cape Ann by a group of settlers from Dorchester, England, predating both Salem and the city of Boston.

Since many original settlers moved to Salem in hopes of finding better farmland, the area of Gloucester was briefly abandoned before slowly coming back on the map again in the late 1600s. Today, you can see a variety of local sights near your vacation rental to explore the town's history, from the Town Green where settlers built the first school, to the White-Ellery House built in 1710 for Gloucester's first minister.
