John was an amazing host. Very friendly and informative. Super easy to reach anytime there was any kind of question. The house is beautiful and very close to the beach. There were 5 of us and we didn't feel at all cramped or inconvenienced. Very quiet, safe, peaceful neighborhood as well. Everyone we met was super friendly and welcoming. We had never been that far north and it was a very nice experience! Definitely check into this property if you're interested in this area!

Adorable cottage

John was a great host! Great communication and he was willing to take time out of his day to stop by and tell us the “must sees” in the area. House was adorable and perfect for our needs. Beach chairs, beach towels, bikes and corn hole game…all available for our use.

Great Spot

Really enjoyable property – John’s home was wonderful; we appreciated the cleanliness and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a great homebase to access area beaches, restaurants, etc. We were comfortable immediately, as it had everything one needs to enjoy time away from home. Kitchen is well appointed, there were plenty of towels and even beach towels. I wouldn’t describe it as a 3 bedroom, technically, but the space still worked for our group. The porch was our favorite place for playing cards/games, reading, coffee, relaxation!

A MUST stay

Thank you for opening your house John to VRBO. Spent week summer vacation. John’s house was perfect in amenities and space for gathering, relaxing and enjoying company. Bedrooms comfortable, beach chairs provided which was awesome along with plenty of towels. The washer and dryer are a practical luxury at the beach and used the outside shower daily. Wrap porch was ideal for dinner and card games. Foliage yard border provides privacy. We also used grill one night without difficulty. John is a great host and 100% accessible by ph/text. Perfect location as close to Salem, Glouster and Newberryport. Enjoyed several walks from the house in quiet beautiful coastal community. Love it and miss it already! Thank you John

Beautiful, relaxing, beach house

The dog friendly, beach house in Magnolia was lovely. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. We could hear the waves from the porch and upstairs bedrooms and it was amazing to be so close to the Magnolia beach and village. It was a unique property because it was surrounded by tree’s, with birds and bunnies in the yard. The outdoor shower was ideal. Magnolia is a perfect beach location, a store, restaurants and spa just a short walk from the house and close to Manchester by the Sea for groceries, restaurants and Singing Beach, but also just as close to the busier, more exciting town of Gloucester. We rode our bikes to Coolidge Reservation - home of the Ocean Lawn. Gorgeous walk with breathtaking views. John was helpful and friendly. The home itself had everything we needed: comfortable bed, ceiling fan, modern kitchen, grill, outdoor couch and tables. We loved the wrap around porch that was perfect for reading/dining in the afternoon/evening. We also loved sitting under the covered porch during the rain showers. Great beach home. 5 out of 5 stars - highly recommend.

The beach house in Manchester (Magnolia) was absolutely perfect for our family. We had such a great time. John was very thoughtful to make sure we all had enough beach chairs. It was a short walk to the beach. Looking forward to returning.

Magnolia Vacation

We had a wonderful week at John’s place in Magnolia. The location was just as described. Easy walk to the private town beach and convenience store for necessities. The home was open and airy, dog friendly with all we needed and we couldn’t have asked for a quieter, friendlier neighborhood with lots of privacy. The outdoor shower was the best! Thank you to John! We would consider coming again next year for sure!

This is the best property owner I’ve ever encountered. He was totally responsive to us before we arrived based on numerous travel difficulties that had nothing to do with him. He’s a tremendous human being. The house looks amazing and the location is awesome, whether you want to in the city or away from it for a while. We are going to rent again from John in 2026, so stay away from the week we book! ;)

We enjoyed our stay at this cute little house. The layout is a little different with the only bathroom downstairs. For those of us on the older side it made navigating the stairs in the middle of the night a tad intimidating. The kitchen had everything we needed for a simple breakfast or lunch. The house is located in a beautiful area just minutes from the beach & downtown Manchester. The house only has AC in the master bedroom which was appreciated on a couple of hot nights. John was very easy to communicate with.

The house itself was very nice, clean, and exactly as described. Unfortunately, my experience with the host completely overshadowed the property.The night I arrived, the host contacted me asking if I could leave an over-the-counter medication he had forgotten for him to pick up the next day. After that, he messaged me every day accusing me of having a dog at the house and of having extra guests, neither of which was true.He then threatened to call the police, said officers would be waiting when I checked out, and told me he would ask Vrbo to charge me pet fees and additional cleaning fees. The repeated accusations and threats became so stressful that I called the police myself to document the situation.My family had rented another property down the street on the beach, so we spent most of our time there and were barely at this house. Instead of enjoying my vacation, I found myself dealing with constant messages, false accusations, and unnecessary stress.The host’s behavior made this one of the most unpleasant rental experiences I’ve ever had.
