About Carol Allen
We both grew up in NY state and visited this area after my sister and her husband moved here, we loved the beautiful scenery of the area and decided to move here to be near family.
Carol Allen purchased this Apartment in 1999
Why Carol Allen chose Gloucester
We chose this property because of the location. It is only 1/2 mile to Good Harbor Beach, we can go out the door and have a beautiful walk/jog, bike ride, fish,swim, etc. without having to get in the car.

Notes
- This rental is great for couple or two, or a small family that wants to get away and enjoy what the area has to offer without breaking the budget. It is clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The rate is much better than a hotel room with more than double the space. We have a couple beach chairs for use at the beach. It is a family neighborhood so please be considerate after 10 pm. I have a 15 yr old niece that is sometimes available to babysit and has taken a babysitting course,but will need some notice to ensure availability.

Provided a great place for a 10 day stay. Carol is a very responsive and an overall great host. On-line (HomeAway) description and pics were true to our experience.
We have two teenagers so it was a tight fit with one bedroom but we managed fairly well. The window AC was key as it was a humid stretch while we were in town. The apartment was clean and kitchen in good working order. We ate breakfast, lunch, and a few dinners at the apartment. Outdoor grill was a nice touch and the back porch is a good place to hang-out. Carol has a friendly golden retriever "Charley" that can be a bit excitable and eager to play.
The walk to Good Harbor Beach was easy as well as evening walks along Bass Rocks via Atlantic Ave. Also, about a mile walk to downtown Gloucester which we did several times for dinner.

The location is terrific, walk/jog the back shore, dine out at a variety of eating establishments, visit Rocky Neck Art Colony for local art as well as entertainment, and as mentioned previously, Good Harbor Beach is 1/2 mile away. There are several restaurants in Rocky Neck which offer live music and outside dining just over a mile from the house. There is a local farmers market and band concert one night a week, usually Thursdays at Stage Fort Park about 2 miles from house. Whale watch tours, sailboat charters, etc. located within a mile. There are also several other beaches in Gloucester, within a short drive.(Wingersheek, Niles Beach, Long Beach, etc) Our neighboring town of Rockport, MA is only 5 miles away with many shops, galleries and restaurants as well. Explore the entire North Shore and it's many quaint towns and villages such as, Marblehead, Salem, Manchester, Beverly, all an hour or less away with train stops in all of them.
For lobster lover's you can also buy fresh lobster right off the boat, down the hill from the house at Captain Joe's Lobster.
