Beverly Beach House- Upper Deck
Had a great stay! House was stocked with all the basics and very spacious for the family! great area easy to get into Salem and surrounding towns.

Charming waterfront home. Patio, Shops & Dining
I can’t thank you enough for letting me stay in this beautiful location. I’ve been going through chemo treatment and trying to find beautiful places in between treatment to enjoy. This place was a fav. Which I sort of want to keep to myself. I didn’t have a lot of energy to do a lot but it was exactly what I needed. Parked my car and left it behind. Watched the tide, walked around a beautiful place with my dog. I couldn’t ask for more.

Family Cottage by the Beach & Downtown + Parking
My family and I had a very pleasant stay. Jacob and Bruce were always very communicative and always there for anything we needed. The place was really cute, very clean, had everything we needed. It was very close to the beach, playground and downtown. We walked there every day. They also gave us good recommendations. The town is lovely , a nice place to visit, a lot of local shops, and a lot of friendly people. Thanks for making our stay very enjoyable.

Rooftop View & King-Size Comfort
Beautiful apartment in the Neck - probably the pettiest place I’ve been to in all of Boston. Highly recommended!

Big Island Pond Lake House Hampstead
Excellent and very quiet place to stay! Well kept!

Luxury Sand Castle Beach House Historic SALEM
Gary provided an amazing experience during our stay! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect, close to main attractions, yet peaceful and relaxing. Gary was incredibly thoughtful and responsive, making us feel right at home. Small touches like a welcoming Thanksgiving card and chocolates really stood out. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area. We hope to return soon! Thank you for the exceptional hospitality!

Lakeside apartment, patio, hot tub, outside shower
We had the best time in Arlington this past week! We came for the Boston marathon. The place was beautiful and the location was perfect. It was close to Boston but far enough out for the peace and quiet. Doug and Hope were the most exceptional hosts. They were accommodating and very responsive. They went above and beyond to make our stay and everything we needed as easy as possible. They were so great and we hope to come back in the future!!

Oceanfront Oasis:Stunning &Spacious 1st Fl 1BR #1
A very beautiful apartment close to the beach. Everything was clean and the host responded fast. I would definitely stay here again.
Beachfront home rentals with a pool

Historical Experience | Boat Tour. Free Breakfast
everything was perfect

Deep Historical Dive | Karting . Free Shuttle
It’s a hotel. Right on the ocean with a Starbucks in the building. What more could you ask for in a spot?

Oceanfront Pool. Close to Boston. Free Parking.
Great hosts and very accommodating. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Very beautiful home and if back in the area I will for sure stay again.

Family friendly beach house
Had a great 3 week stay here. Weather didn't cooperate but we were cosy at our home base and fit in beach walks whenever the rain did let up. Great WiFi allowed work from home as needed. Spacious pool patio area out back gets full sun all day and was a nice place to relax. 10 minutes from main shopping. 3 minutes from Hampton Beach. Will rent again if have the chance.

AbytheBay - Stunning Seaside Apt
We loved our stay at Emily and Nick's place - the apartment and location was great and very scenic being right near the water and a wonderful park right around the corner (Stage Fort Park), and being within walking distance of the downtown area and the whale watch boat tour we were going on was perfect for us. Want to give a special shout-out as well to the Waterfront Cafe just a couple blocks away, which has very nice and friendly owners and outstanding bagel breakfast sandwiches as well as great lunch and dinner eats. Definitely recommend staying here and we all fell in love with Gloucester. And we got to see a humpback whale up close - can't beat that!

Tranquil Ocean View Haven: Perfect Getaway 22
This was a sweet spot to land for a night. Thoughtful touches, comfortable layout, and perfect access to the waterfront. The water pressure in the shower is amazing, too! We enjoyed our brief stay and wished we could have stayed longer.

Harbor House with Ocean Views
Harbor House is a great place, conveniently located near downtown, shops, restaurants, and bars are walkable, nice ocean view from the upstairs living room, its an excellent choice for your visit to Gloucester

Waves in the Cove - includes offstreet parking
Four adults enjoyed the accommodations including ease to check in, communications with Mark and Alexandra, cleanliness of the home, location right on the water with beautiful sunrises, and wonderful walking location to all the Salem attractions. Mark and Alexandra were accommodating to my inquiry for early check-in which was very appreciated. Beds were comfortable. Shower was good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Overall, a great weekend experience at Mark and Alexandra’s home.

The Sunset Lighthouse Marblehead
The home is beautiful! The view and neighborhood are amazing! We felt like we were in a movie. It was peaceful and quiet and had things to do to enjoy a nice evening. Definitely will be back!

Peaceful Top-floor Condo Near Beach
SOOOO CUTE!! We LOVED this place! It was exactly as pictured and it was incredibly clean! There were two downsides, one was that it was on the third floor, which typically wouldn’t be an issue but I was unfortunately in a boot. Secondly, it’s super close to the airport so if you’re a light sleeper, I’d bring ear plugs. Planes pass overhead every 60-90s. Other than that, it was stocked up, beautiful, clean and most importantly, we felt safe!

Treehouse By-the-Sea
our stay here was lovely. ellen and rusty were waiting for us when we arrived and helped us park. the space itself is cozy and clean. a treehouse indeed, up a bunch of stairs and surrounded by lovely oaks! ellen was an excellent communicator. she was flexible with our checkout as no one was following us and our first day was totally rained out. the location is lovely; a nearby beach and just under a mile walk to downtown. would recommend!

Vacation by the Sea
Comfy quiet place, nestled in Swampscott. Close to great restaurants and short walk to the beach. Cynthia’s place was clean and comfortable. Had lots of amenities. Cynthia was amazing and allowed us to check out a bit later . Highly recommend Cynthia’s place if you’re staying in this area! We loved our stay!
