Harbor Lights: Charming 5-Bedroom Seaside Cottage in East Gloucester

Forget your worries at Harbor Lights. Listen to the waves crash on Niles Beach from a
rocking chair on the enormous screened-in porch. Enjoy quality time with your family after a great day at the beach. Take in the views of Boston's skyline from the rocks overlooking the ocean (or from the new outdoor shower!) Soak up the sun while reading a great book. Harbor Lights has been a source of tranquility for generations, and now it's your turn to find out what makes this charming cottage so special! We would love to host you for a long or short stay at Harbor Lights!

The space
Harbor Lights is a funky summer cottage, with throwback charm and simplicity. The cottage is steps from Niles Beach at the entrance of Eastern Point. The cottage sits on 1.3 acres and is dramatically set on rocks that overlook Gloucester Harbor, with views of downtown Boston. The cottage sleeps up to 10 people and has a fantastic 40 foot long porch perfect for reading, playing games, or taking in the sunset. Freshen up after a day at the beach in our new outdoor shower, from which you can see the Boston skyline on a clear day!
