Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Good Harbor Haven is a charming home that would be perfect for your next beach getaway. The home has a lovely interior with room enough for the whole family. It also has complimentary WiFi and cable for your enjoyment. Be sure to take advantage of the lovely yard with gas grill also! Cozy up with your family or friends in the spacious and inviting living room area and share a wonderful time playing board games.
What's nearby:
The home is located just east of Gloucester. Here you can find markets, museums, a harbor walk, and plenty of great restaurants. It is a 5-minute drive to a fantastic array of shopping, local eating and less than a 10-minute drive to the center of Rockport.
What really makes this home wonderful, however, is its close proximity to Good Harbor Beach - you could even walk there under 6 minutes! You also can find tons to do in the surrounding area. Parks, museums, lighthouses, historical sites to name a few. There's even a Medieval castle in this city and you must take one of its famous tours! We're talking about Hammond Castle, which is roughly six miles away from you. For more family-friendly fun, spend your afternoon at Maritime Gloucester.

Untimely cancellation
My reservation was canceled by the owner 4 hour prior to check in when we were already on the road. When I called the property management, they didn’t even try or offer another property or any compensation for inconvenience, just the money back. It’s not just inconvenient but super stressful for anyone, needless to say for a mom with.3 kids already on the road.

Would Not Recommend
Lovely on the outside , dark heavy musty smell on inside . Bathroom and kitchen are updated & nice aside from moldy shower curtain in bathroom .
There was not comfortable place to sit or sleep. Old hard mattresses , uncomfortable old furniture.
Poor ventilation, many windows don’t even open . The stairs to the upstairs are treacherous.
Walking to the beach is very dangerous as the road is 2 lane highway.

Enjoyed Our Stay
We had a great time at the cottage. It was awesome to be able to walk to a beach (carefully along a busy street with no sidewalk). The negatives: the cottage is small, the stairs a bit treacherous, the wiring upstairs a bit sketchy.
The positives: the space is maximized nicely, the kitchen works well, and it was clean.
We were 4 adults and 2 toddlers and would stay again.

Not as expected
Small, outdated uncomfortable furniture. Dirty living room rug that was a tripping hazard. Partial AC (1 window unit on 1st floor) not adequate. Updated kitchen was well equipped. Staircase to the second floor is narrow and steep.

Nice cottage
A basic old cottage, fine for short stays. Has a basic kitchen with most cookware you’d need, new appliances. Bathroom is small, but newly remodeled. chairs and toys provided in the shed were nice for trips to the nearby beach. The beach is short walking distance, (beach parking is $30 otherwise) One downside is the road the cottage is on can be busy during the day. No laundry, but a laundromat is nearby if needed.
