This beautiful home was originally a farm house and faces Good Harbor Beach, a beautiful walking beach of pale sand, small waves, dunes and rock outcroppings. The first floor opens onto a big sitting room with a couch facing the ocean, bird books, telescope and binoculars laid out. Ed was the perfect host. On request, he was full of local... More

We were not aware of the walls and floor construction, as the previous review submits, because we pretty much had the place to ourselves due to the arrival of the October monsoons. That aside, the location, views, and especially our host Ed Comer, were all first rate. Ed is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Gloucester, and was... More

I'll concur the review previous to this in several aspects. The fact that this inn is so close to the beach is an amazing feature. You are within walking distance to Good Harbor Beach.

Our room was spacious, clean and had a great view of the beach. Light breakfast nosh, with coffee, fruit , yogurt and some baked goods offered. It was a great... More

We opened the windows to enjoy the sounds of the waves and the gulls at night. Ed and Tony and... More

Pay no attention to any reviews prior to 2007. Ed and Ann Marie have done an awesome job with this place. Spent Labor day weekend there and couldn't have been more pleased. Room was charming and the location is unbeatable! More

I try to get to Good Harbour Beach in Gloucester, MA (across from the Blue Shutters) every summer. I have stayed in many of the seaside inns, BnB's, motels and family homes in the area the Blue Shutters is the BEST! B-E-S-T, BEST!!! The innkeeprs are not just welcoming and fun, but they become family and I return to the... More
