• Ground-floor deck off the living area with outdoor table and seating for four

Sleeping arrangements:

• Upstairs bedroom with queen Tempur-Pedic mattress and adjoining bathroom

Our stay at Captain's Lookout was delightful. The decks provided great views and the house was clean and cozy. The neighborhood was peaceful and Captain's Lookout was the perfect place to unwind after spending a day in bustling Gloucester and the surrounding area. It was fun to be able to walk to art galleries, restaurants and even a local ice cream shop.

We had a wonderful stay at Elizabeth's beautiful property! The location was perfect for the wood carving class we were taking which was within walking distance. We loved the gorgeous view and enjoying a glass of wine on the roof deck in the evenings. The bed was very comfy and the kitchen has everything you need to feel right at home. The home is very cute, artsy, clean and a lovely home away from home. We are planning on coming back to Gloucester again next year to take another wood carving class and plan on renting here again. Elizabeth is a wonderful host - she is so kind and personable. Also, there is a very nice restaurant, 51 Rocky Neck within walking distance and many other excellent Gloucester downtown restaurants are only a short 5-10 minute drive away. The property is located right in the Rocky Neck art colony within walking distance of many galleries!
