Vacation Rental Description

This large three-bedroom home is a fairytale cottage in a quiet, wooded setting a short walk to  
Niles Beach and the Rocky Neck Art Colony in East Gloucester. It was built for the mistress of T.S.  
Eliot and was moved (for unclear reasons) to its current retreat-like location a few blocks from its  
original location It's called the Seabreeze Cottage for the cross breezes that float through the  
house from Niles Beach and Brace Cove, keeping it cool and comfortable.  
 
It is an older home with lots of wonderful quirky qualities, like the balcony overlooking the dining  
room, the beamed living room ceiling, the large, morrocan style fireplace there and the second  
fireplace in the vaulted dining room. It is furnished with antiques and comfortable upholstered  
furniture.  
 
The house has two bedrooms on the second floor and one on the first. The master bedroom has a queen  
bed and the other two have doubles. Also provided are an additional Aero bed (twin) and a cot which  
is best for small children. There are two bathrooms.  
 
There is a fenced back yard and a deck off the kitchen for sunny relaxation. Lots of space to run  
and play for kids. No traffic, as the house is on a private road shared by only one other house.  
 
Off the deck is a 'summer house' which provides a fabulous almost-outdoor relaxing or sleeping  
experience. The breezes waft through and it stays cool on the hottest days and nights.  
 
There are many amenities within walking distance, including Niles Beach, the Rocky Neck Art Colony's  
galleries, restaurants and scenic outlooks, and the Gloucester Stage. Also within easy driving  
distance are beautiful Good Harbor Beach, the Eastern Point Lighthouse and Dogbar breakwater,  
beautiful walks through Eastern Point, and many stores. Downtown Gloucester, where there are many  
more great shops, restaurants, art & maritime museums, as well as whale-watching boats and other  
such attractions, are a five-minute drive way.
