2-Bedroom Ocean View Walk to Beach and Downtown
What a wonderful view from the apartment! If someone brought their pet or no pet people there's a park across the street for a lovely walk. Very easy to get in to Salem, train to Boston, very nice location. Everything was very clean and comfortable, they thought of everything to have ready for the guest. Such great host, everything worked out excellent for our stay.

Harborside Oasis | Harbor View | Heart of Downtown
The location of Gigi’s place cannot be beat. Centrally located in Rockport, and above/adjacent to great restaurants. Apartment was immaculate and tasteful. Gigi provides very clear instructions and is very responsive. Would definitely stay here again. We flew into Boston and did not rent a car for this stay. The apartment is about a 15 minute walk from the commuter train station, and a minute or two walk from the Dock Square CATA bus stop that can bring you to the train station as well as other places like Halibut Point State Park.

Chic Downtown Loft ☆ Private Parking ☆ Ocean View
I had such a wonderful stay here. The airbnb was beautiful, had a great view, it was in a really good location, and as a solo traveler, I felt super safe and had plenty to do.

Newly Renovated Ocean View 2 Bdrm Apt
We had a lovely stay at Anna & Milan’s place. The apartment had everything we needed and more. It is a short drive to Boston and right across from a beach. Would love to stay again. Thank you Anna & Milan.

4 Bed 2.5 Bath Water view Downtown with Parking
We had an incredible stay in Rockport! The space was beautiful—thoughtfully decorated and perfect for our family. The host was super responsive and flexible, which made everything so easy from start to finish. We all slept wonderfully, thanks to the powerful A/C units in each bedroom and the peaceful, quiet nights. The home was stocked with everything you could possibly need, from beach towels to the perfect touches for a lovely dinner table scape. Bonus: the view of the water was quite stunning to wake up to each morning :)

Modern Luxury in a Spectacular Natural Setting
All instruction were very detailed and easy to follow. The location was beautiful and the property was prestige. Cooking in the kitchen was easy, everything was within arms reach and easy to find. The center of town was cute and had some nice local shops. There was planet of restaurants in the area and grocery stores were also close. 5-stars for sure for the property and the property managements My family and I will certainly look for this property again if we are staying the the Amherst area.

Lake Access 4 Bed 3 Full Bath
Great place, the house was clean. I definitely recommend it.

Lakefront House Boston, Plymouth, Cape Cod
We had a great time here. Loved the cozy cabin. Great views of the pond! Would definitely stay again.

Pond-Front Passive Solar Architectural House
Stayed for a weekend, was absolutely beautiful! The frequent beaver visits was quite the highlight & all amenities were exactly as described!

Luxurious Spacious Haven Retreat - Close2Boston
We took our family of 7 to Berlin to spend time with their brother and family. The house was a wonderful base to work from. We also hosted an afternoon BBq and the backyard was spectacular for all the kids to play soccer and baseball. Michael was a wonderful host and bent over backwards to help out. We will definitely come back!!

Sea View Guest Suite
The place was beautiful. You could see every small detail that Brea put into it, made it a pleasure to stay in. She was super friendly and prompt to respond to messages with questions. Place is handicap accessible. It is on the ground level with a small paved walkway to the door; No stairs. Shower was very easy to get in and out of and had a shower seat. Property location was perfect, pretty much 5 minutes from anything you would want to do in the town of Salem. I would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Will definitely think about staying there again when we come back to the area.

1 of a Kind Pond-Front Home, Minutes from Downtown
The house is amazing! It has everything that you would need and is so comfortable. The property is peaceful, and it feels like you’re on your own little island while still being minutes from stores and restaurants. We had a perfect weekend celebrating some milestone birthdays in our family.
Wonderful Rocky Neck home on Gloucester harbor
This house has an exquisite view and setting - so picturesque, one of us who’s an amateur watercolor painter sat in the sunroom one day and painted the harbor channel scene right out the large bay windows! Ray was a helpful, responsive host and the house was clean and well-appointed. A beautiful, quiet, relaxing stay!

Newly renovated Boston Oceanfront Haven
This was an awesome place for my daughter, her family and I to spend time sightseeing Boston while also letting the kids (and ourselves) relax with some beach time. Access to the Boston sights was easy with our rental car, though I think we could have done it well using the “T” which is a 10 minute walk. The house is giant, and the bedrooms on the upper level allowed the grandpa (me) to go to sleep at a reasonable hour while the kids hung on the lower level. The kitchen has all we needed to cook, though there are restaurants a short walk or a drive. One thing that I loved was that the place was spotless clean and NONE of the little things like loose knobs or broken shades. Oh, and a giant washer/dryer made cleaning up after the beach easy. I consider this the best of the AirBnB homes I’ve visited.

Clear Pond Pet Friendly Inn
We loved our stay. The cottage was adorable, clean, and had everything needed. The outside yard and waterfront was precious. We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more and will absolutely stay again!

Marshside one-bedroom with stunning view
The stay was incredible. Cleanest Airbnb we’ve ever been in, and had no issues with my baby crawling all over. The space was naturally baby proofed!! Beautifully decorated with everything you need to feel at home!

The place is beautiful and the view is even better. Christina checked in with us regularly and helped in any way she could. We will definitely be back for another weekend getaway!

Captain's Lodge- #1, Plymouth Water Front Condo
Great place to stay! Excellent location and walking distance to everything we were looking for. Place was comfortable and as advertised. Comfortably accommodated five adults. Scott responded quickly to all communication and provided accurate and thorough instructions. Highly recommend and will stay again if in the area!

The Nest - The Heart of Bearskin Neck
