NOTE: We do not rent extended stays. Two week maximum. In the summer, we ONLY rent week-long periods from Sat-Sat.

This 2BR apartment comfortably accommodates a family of four for vacation, wedding, or graduation, but it’s also a perfect getaway for some time out of town. Our guests repeatedly tell us the apartment is bigger in person and that the space looks just like the pictures online.

The apartment is on the second floor of our house, where we live, overlooking Gloucester Harbor. Within the apartment, there are two bedrooms each with its own private bathroom. The master bedroom has a four-poster queen bed, with an extra twin bend and a full bathroom with soaking tub. The second bedroom, off of the living area, has a queen bed and a bathroom with a shower stall. The apartment has its own private entrance. There is off-street parking for up to 3 cars. The open living-dining space has a flat screen TV with cable (HBO, Showtime, Starz, Encore), WiFi, a comfy sofa with coffee table, two over-sized chairs, and a breakfast bar with 4 stools at the kitchen counter. The well-equipped kitchen has an oven/stove, fridge with freezer, coffeemaker, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, and full set of dishes, pots & pans, flatware and utensils. If anything is missing, just let us know. We’re right downstairs!

I am Rebecca and I live in the house below the apartment with my retired mother, Dot, (aka 'Gloucester Quilter') who quilts and gardens. One of us is always on hand to attend to any question or concern. In the summer we maintain a vegetable garden and, on the off seasons, we enjoy the sunsets and long walks with our two Labs in the afternoon on Good Harbor Beach or at local woodland trails in Ravenswood or Moraine Farms. We are very knowledgeable about how best to experience the North Shore and day trips in our region and towns across New England.

WE RENT YEAR-ROUND! We also list this property on Flip Key and Trip Advisor under the same title.

About Rebecca Borden

My mother has lived in this property for over 10 years now. I moved back home in 2009. We decided to join VRBO in Nov'11 after we had such a positive experience renting ourselves through VBRO. We have enjoyed hosting some great guests from all over the country and internationally!

We do not rent for extended stays because, while we have had many amazing guests, we did have a few bad apples in 2012. We live underneath our guests, hence we are cautious about sharing our property with incompatible 'neighbors' for extended stays. Those are our terms and we hope you respect our perspective.

Rebecca Borden purchased this apartment in 2000
What makes this apartment unique

We love sharing our views, pool and property with guests. Gloucester is such a great area to visit and vacation!

Perfect Gloucester experience! Warm and friendly owners. Clean, roomy, great views, nicely decorated...truly home away from home. We were here for the Boston Marathon. Already looking forward to coming back next year for the Marathon and will not even consider staying any place else!

My husband and I just got married in Gloucester a few weeks ago (we live in NYC) and are still gushing about how amazing our stay was. In the past we have always stayed in a hotel and we'll never do that again! Dot and Rebecca are the most gracious and sincere hosts - I honestly can't say enough good things about them. The apartment is so cute and comfortable and the view is just amazing! I can be picky about small things - smells, the bed etc. and again everything was perfect. We had a wonderful wedding weekend and Dot and Rebecca made everything so much more perfect and easy for us. We can't thank them enough and can't wait to go back!

The view from the living room window is unbelievably beautiful! Very comfortable accomodations with personal touches that make it a wonderful home away from home. Rebecca and Dot are such gracious hostesses and so knowledgeable about the area. They made our visit even more special. Apartment is very well equipped and would definitely recommend.

Our family of five really enjoyed our stay in this Gloucester rental. It was everything we had hoped for and is even better than the pictures portray. The view is amazing! New England charm is apparent in the grounds as well as in the apartment. The beds are comfortable and are so welcoming with beautiful handmade quilts on each one. Dot and Rebecca are warm and attentive when needed. We'd love to go back -- wish it was closer to our West Coast home so we could more easily visit again! You won't be disappointed since this place and these owners are wonderful. I need to go back when the wisteria is in bloom!
