The Blue Shutters Inn is a wonderful bed and breakfast right on Good Harbor. The views are fabulous. The owners are wonderful people. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. Everything was neat and clean. The atmosphere was completely relaxing. They even allow children and one night stays which is a rarity for... more

The location can't be beaten at this place, so with trepidation we made reservations. I even packed our own sheets and pillows just in case the ones provided were scary -- we'd checked out the inside of this place over the last few years and it was a bit swilly, but I was willing to be flexible for a hotel... more

My wife and two sons (ages 6 and 9) were pleasantly surprised that Blue Shutters Inn happens to be on our favorite beach in all of Massachusetts, Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester. That was enough of an incentive for us to give it a try for a weekend. The Blue Shutter Inn's priceless location combined with great service and truly... more

Stayed at the Blue Shutters Years ago and was not impressed. However since the new owners have taken over, the place has a totally new look and feel. It is warm and welcoming, clean and spacious. The management staff was very helpful in recommending local places to visit and places to eat. I will make the Blue Shutters Beachside an... more

Not having been born in Gloucester I cannot claim 'native status' but having been a 4 season visitor for the past 30+ years I can speak with some authority as to the state of things on Good Harbour Beach. The Blue Shutters Inn, at One Nautilus Road, has been a favorite destination for many years, returning this year has found... more

If you are looking for a traditional hotel or motel that gives you room service, a great pool or a feeling of being just another person paying but not getting, then The Blue Shutters Inn in Gloucester, MA is not for you. But, if you are looking for a pleasant, quaint Inn that has all of the charm and ambiance... more

First off, the Blue Shudders should not be considered a real place to stay. There is junk throughout the yard and the furniture is all second hand, old, garage/consignment shop stuff. Some may call it homey, but it's actually inappropriate to call this lodging, especially for $150 a night. What we found were much of what the negative reviews say... more

The Blue Shutters' greatest asset is that is across the street from a beautiful beach, Good Harbor. Literally across the street, so all you have to do is carry your beach chair and bag down the street to the bridge. If your room fronts on the beach, you can see the sunrise, and hear the ocean's rise and fall. Unfortunately,... more

I am amazed at how many five star ratings Blue Shutters has, frankly when a place has too many five star ratings and the rest are one star I'm suspicious that some reviews might be "manegerially enhanced". Based on my experience, it is a dirty property (gross sheets, bad breakfast, run down property with junky cars) with unfriendly owners in... more
