Family-friendly holiday rentals in Manchester-by-the-Sea

The Nana-Tucket Inn is an absolutely gorgeous and pristine property with everything a family could need! It was perfect for our family while we were visiting New England. It was a great space for family time and our teenagers had plenty to do. Nancy and Joe are the perfect hosts! They are kind and extremely helpful while they maintain the beautiful property. They are not intrusive at all but are there if you need anything. During our stay, a huge storm blew through Massachusetts with extremely strong winds and tons of rain. Nancy and Joe had the mess made by the storm was cleaned up immediately by a professional crew the next morning so that we did not miss a single moment of the property amenities! Nancy also made us a blueberry crumble cake that was delicious and so kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we cannot wait to return during our next New England trip.

Brad was very friendly and helpful. Beautiful home!

This is one of the best Air B&B experiences that we’ve had…beautiful place and surroundings, great amenities and personal touches, wonderful recommendations. Couldn’t have had a better time.

Clean and good storage for a small space. Good location

We rent a house on PI every year and this house was perfect for us. We could walk to the basin with our SUP’s, easy walk to beach and stores and ice cream! We loved the double outdoor shower option for the kids after a long sandy day at the beach and they supplied all the beach toys, umbrellas and chairs! The rooftop deck was our favorite part we watched the sunset every night. We would rent this house again if the dates line up!

We had a great stay! This house was in a great location, and very nice/spacious. We also appreciated the very thorough and clear communication regarding check-in etc, before the stay. I highly recommend Joel as a host!

The host communicated well and was very thoughtful. The bed wasn't very comfortable and the heating unit was a bit tricky to figure out, but overall, we had a great stay.

So lovely at this awesome house right on the lake. The view is amazing, the place was spotlessly clean, and Tom and Donna are gracious hosts. I highly recommend this Airbnb, this was our second stay and we will be back. Highlights were enjoying the hot tub, a lovely sunset cruise with Tom and Donna and of course, hearing the loons on the lake at night.

We enjoyed staying at Karen’s! It was a super clean space which we really, really appreciated. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Super easy to check-in and check-out. Karen is also super responsive and proactive which was great! Only bump in the road was that we unfortunately had to deal with a water leak issue which was stressful but Karen did what she could to be as helpful as possible. It was fixed shortly after reporting. We appreciated that Karen coordinated maintenance so quickly in a way that was accommodating to our schedule. Overall we are very pleased and would definitely recommend!

Beautiful home in quiet area that's only a 13 minute drive to Salem. It was perfect for my Bachelorette (9 people), we each had our own bed with plenty of room to spread out. Awesome host, very responsive with all of our questions and super nice. Thanks John!!

We had a great stay! Quiet, safe neighborhood, easy to get to the city. Lots of space for the six of us to eat and relax together. Beautiful view of the Boston skyline just minutes walk from the place. Comfortable beds and soft sheets too! We also had no troubles parking nearby and leaving our car (for free) for our entire stay.

The home was very well maintained, clean and quiet neighborhood. Would highly recommend “the Little House”!

Great location to getaway. Short walk to two different beaches as well as parking pass for great neck beach. Lots of room for two people to spread out. Lots of games to play. Living room was very comfortable, kitchen well stocked. Easy check-in and checkout

We really enjiyed our stay and would recommend to anybody else.

Kao’s home worked great for us. His garden is absolutely beautiful and the area is quite serene. Would definitely stay there again.

Melissa was a fantastic host and made us feel right at home! She was always responsive and reached out to make sure there wasn't anything additional she could do to make our stay perfect. I stayed at her place with my boyfriend and our son, and it was perfect for a couple nights in Salem. There is a drive to the downtown area (as listed in the description), but it was no more than 5-8 minutes to get there and very easy to navigate! I would recommend Melissa's place to anyone looking for an affordable, private, and safe place to stay in Salem!

Excellent location! Great stay for a family away from home! House was magnificent and modern. Beautiful upstairs with an open layout and a downstairs living room. Plenty of space to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Close to the Newton center to access the (T)rain so Boston is easily accessible. Great communication with Amir! He responded quickly with any questions I had! Would definitely come back for another family vacation!

Second time staying at Micheal’s place and it’s always a great time. Will be back

We love coming here. The beach is right across the street for me to look for rocks and sea glass and then right down the road is the beach for swimming. Perfect little getaway. Rachel is an amazing hostess.

Great stay. Nice clean place. Good view of fireworks from the balcony.

This was the perfect place for a girl's weekend. Very close to Kittery and Portsmouth shops, great seafood restaurants and State Park beaches. We were lucky the temperature was cool, as a lot of the windows didn't have screens and were too hard to open. I assumed maybe the owners haven’t fully switched over to summer mode as it's been cold up till recently. Wonderful decor, very whimsical.

Beautiful setting in the woods, incredibly peaceful- yet minutes away from a lovely New England village with shops and cafes.

Good place to stay for Hampton Beach. Short walk to the water.

Donna is fantastic and if your looking for a charming New England spot this is it! We Are very satisfied with this home.
