A great property is one that sticks by you through thick and thin. I have been blessed to have found the Blues Shutters Beach House as my official home away from home when I am in Gloucester for business. In the dead of winter, when many places are boarded up or open selective hours, Ed, the hospitable innkeeper, has the... More

Located on a quiet side street in Gloucester MA, faces east to enjoy a sunrise or moonrise. Very nice staff and lots to do in Gloucester! Great seafood restaurants and the cruise of harbor looks like fun!

We just returned from our wonderful getaway up in Gloucester. We had a gift certificate for this beautiful Blue Shutters and decided to use it for my husband's birthday during the off-season. It was very cold, snowing and the wind really blowing when we arrived. We were warmly greeted by our hosts Ed and Ann Marie, Patty and Tony...actually as... More

The view of Good Harbor Beach is unbeatable, and to get to the beach you literally just walk across the street. The innkeepers are friendly and helpful. Coffee is available anytime and they put out a very nice continental breakfast. We were in the Fireside room which was spacious and well-supplied with a sofabed, frig and microwave. It's a bit...

This is our 3rd time in Gloucester and our 1st time in staying at the Blue Shutters. We loved the place with its friendly home-style feel and close to the beach locality. From the great view in our 2nd floor room to the close proximity of restaurants, shopping and beach all within walking distance, we can't say enough good about... More

We stayed for a weekend to attend a wedding just down the road at the Elks Club. It's a friendly homely establishment and we were made to feel very welcome. We had the Lookout room which was ok for us as we were out most of the time. This room has no wardrobe to hang anything up, nor any hangers... More

When we arrived at the Blue Shutter Inn, we were immediately stuck by the beauty of the location, and the warmth & friendliness of the owners. After settling into our room, we asked the owners for some suggestions about where to eat - they not only took the time to give us great recommendations for places to eat around the... More

This is our second stay at Blue Shutters and we definitely plan to return. You couldn't ask for a more beautiful location, directly across the street from Good Harbor Beach so most of the rooms have a beautiful ocean view, and close enough to downtown Gloucester to easily go in for dinner or shopping. The owners are very friendly and... More

This was my third year coming to Gloucester from Pennsylvania with my wife and daughter, to visit with her extended family from the area. The owners at the Blue Shutters have never been anything but warm and gracious to us. This year my daughter was greeted with a new small plush toy from Ann Marie as a welcome back to... More
