Kid-friendly holiday rentals in North Shore

Emenkeng’s place was perfect for me on my trip to the North Shore. Super easy to get to and from the airport and to my friends’ homes. Emenkeng was responsive and helpful when I had questions and the apartment was completely spotless when I arrived. I felt safe the whole time I was there. I would definitely stay here again!

Oh my goodness. This place was a DREAM. Such a beautiful home with a view you can’t top. My husband and I stayed with our children and two friends for an east coast summer getaway and we could not have found a better place. Awesome setup, view, and Gaby could not have been more helpful. We would love to stay here again.

Katie’s home is remarkable. Very clean, comfortable, and so many places to relax inside and outside the house. I noticed right away that she went above and beyond as a host after seeing the thoughtful amenities and supplies she left for guests throughout the house. She left clear instructions on how to use things at the house and where to explore in the area. Not only that but she was proactively communicating and easy to get a hold of for a few questions we had during our stay. I’ll absolutely visit Katie’s wonderful home again.

Great location and beautiful views. We will for sure look to stay here again on any future visits to Gloucester.

Beautiful home and well located to explore. Rewan is an amazing host! Truly exceptional

David and Jessica were wonderful hosts and very prompt in responding to any questions we had. My mom and sister and I had a great time and loved all of the recommendations for local restaurants that were within walking distance. The home was beautiful, clean, and comfortable- would absolutely stay again or recommend to others!

We cannot praise Mimi and Manny highly enough. The place was beautiful, with every amenity needed to feel at home. Our hosts were friendly, responsive, and charming. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The unit was spacious, clean, easy to find, easy to check in, and peaceful. We particularly enjoyed the front porch. We stayed for three nights, and our every need was met. Highly recommend both the place, and the hosts, for anyone needing to stay in the area.

Perfect hidden little gem in a quiet tucked away neighborhood of Marblehead. Visited this town a few times and this is the 2nd place we've stayed in. Both were great - in completely different neighborhoods. It was nice having our own parking space directly in front of the house. The house is pretty inside, bright and clean - very modern and updated. We loved having the TV's in both the LR and the BR. Not a thing I would change. It was nice having the private backyard for our dog - although she wasn't taking to the artificial turf for some reason! So we opted for walks around the lovely little neighborhood. Would definitely stay again! Hayley was a FAB host!

This was the perfect spot for my first trip to Rockport! The location was fantastic, and it was well stocked with amenities. Even though we didn’t have great weather for our stay, the living room was perfect for getting cozy and watching a movie.

The loft is bright, beautiful, cozy and clean. Alexander is a wonderful host.

Great host, very friendly and accommodating, would stay here again :)

Susan was an amazing host! Her property was immaculate. She was extremely helpful when we needed a last minute adjustment to accommodate a family member. All around great experience.

This is a great place close to the airport and Salem! It was a cute and cozy little spot, just right for us. It’s about an hour from the heart of Boston. There’s a fun playground near the beach that our daughter loved playing at. The hosts were super welcoming, kind and responsive!

My husband and I decided to spend a night here between trips to Acadia National Park and Boston, and I'm so glad we did! It was such as cute town to walk around and look at the shops, and the house was the perfect central location. We enjoyed sitting out in the adirondack chairs to watch the sunset. Carol and Joe were the nicest hosts, taking time to chat with us for a bit. They have made this historic home very beautiful!

Wonderful wonderful. I can express how amazing this spot was. I keep thinking about it. We stayed another 2 nights at a hotel but it is nothing like this place. We will definitely come back and the price was great too compared to hotels with no kitchen. It was clean, just absolutely perfect and few walking feet to south shore beach. I can keep going about how wonderful this Airbnb apartment is. Thank you!

This apartment served for a pleasant stay! I reserved the stay for four adults and it was exactly what we needed. The amenities made it easy to feel at home and the walkable surroundings felt safe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hosts were also nice and responsive which is very reassuring as a guest.

Located in a lovely neighborhood, this place is a gem! So well appointed, there was nothing we could have needed that wasn’t there! The decor was beautiful and Kelly provided so many extra touches. The kitchen was well equipped, including spices, Keurig Cup Pods, tons of dishes, and utensils. The bedrooms were lovely and very comfortable beds. We can’t wait to come back!!!

What more can I say that hasn't already been said by other guests? The place was perfect for our 35th anniversary get-a-way. Darryl was so on top of things. We had a question and it was answered within 2 minutes. He really is a SUPER HOST.

This was the second time we had stayed at Kristin’s. We loved it so much last year we had to come back! Nothing beats the view from the rooftop deck. Everything you need, to include ample public water access, is just a short walk. We plan on making this a yearly stay. The fact you can bring your pup is an added bonus!

Lovely trip back to Marblehead for my granddaughter’s graduation. This home was comfortable and great care taken to provide more than the basics making it welcoming and like home!

Loved coming back here! Great and convenient place to stay.

Perfect location, steps from all the shops and restaurants. Beautiful views of the water. Lisa was very responsive and helpful during our stay. Would come back again!

Diane was amazing to work with and very helpful and responsive! The condo was beautiful, clean, cutely decorated, and had everything we needed for our stay. Great location with so much to do within walking distance. Highly recommend. We are already looking to go back next year for our yearly Hampton Beach getaway.

We are very happy with our choice to stay at Andree's beautiful condo. Andree's place had everything -- everything -- we (and our dogs!) could need. She even provided a drawerful of dog bowls, toys, and treats -- not to mention doggy stairs and a doggy bed and coverings. The Himalayan yak cheese treats were brilliant, as they kept Tuxy and Jersey Girl occupied for quiet and satisfied mornings! The king bed was SO COMFORTABLE, and the 2 large TVs were perfectly placed. It was a great location -- right downtown, and also right on Back Harbor. We could walk out the door and watch the sunset shimmer on the water -- or walk in the other direction for a delicious gelato, fantastic seafood, or browsing local shops and galleries. Rockport is a delightful town in which to spend a summer holiday, and we highly recommend Andree's place.
