Gloucester House | 5 minute walk to Beach, Stage Fort Park, and Gloucester Promenade!

3 Bedroom House in Gloucester

This historic home has great access to one of the best hidden gems of Gloucester, Stage Fort Park. Just a five minute walk across the street and you will be looking down through the trees at the beautiful Half Moon beach. Hike to the knoll and gasp at the amazing view of Gloucester as schooners sail by. Play tennis, bring your kids to the playground, or hike to the top of Tablet Rock. Lay at the beach or dip in the ocean at Cressy or Half Moon beach. Or walk up the hill out the front door to hike at the 60 acre nature preserve, Ravenswood Park. Order an ice cream cone or seafood from the Cupboard. Or walk back and grill in the backyard kitchen.
The Parsons at Stage Fort home is the perfect place for your family’s adventures. This home is a unique opportunity to connect with Colonial New England. The home is a wonder to explore with beams and floorboards from the 1600s. Fireplaces and a baking oven that were used as the original kitchen Early immigrants from England, connections to the Salem Witch Trials, a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and even an ice harvester (like Sven from Frozen) all lived in this house.
We provide everything you need for an unforgettable family vacation:
Tennis rackets, frisbee, lawn games.
Beach supplies: towels, caddy, chairs, umbrella and toys.
Plenty of board games to occupy all ages.
Extensive library – feel free to take and keep any book.

The third bedroom has a twin bed. An optional fourth bedroom is the library, with closing doors and two full sofa beds. Pack-n-play crib, blow up mattress and cot are available upon request.
While you may find all the adventure you need at Stage Fort Park, there are many other amazing activities just a short drive away. Schooner sailing and whale watch boat trips, boogie boarding at Good Harbor beach or exploring tide pools at the calmer Wingaersheek beach. Bikes, paddle boards, surfboards and kayaks are all available at local rental locations. Gloucester Stage company has live plays or the beautiful Shaolin music center has concerts. Gloucester's downtown has plenty of one of a kind shops and a grand variety of restaurants, cafes and dessert locations.
Rainy day - no problem! You can visit the Hammond Castle – just a short drive to see this fascinating building and artifacts. Or visit the Cape Ann Museum with artifacts from the Revolutionary War, beautiful paintings and sculptures new and old. Go antique shopping in Essex or go to the movies at our local theater. The bottom line is that there is just SO much to see and do here on “the island.”, you may never want to leave.

Summary: A perfect place to stay and explore Gloucester and Cape Ann, this historic house has been beautifully updated with everything you might need. Plenty of outdoor spaces to spend time, and a short walk to a seaside park and beach. The Host has created a very welcoming place to stay, and is also helpful with any details you might need. Highly recommend the place!
