Vacation rentals with beach access in Dorchester, Boston

We enjoyed our stay so much. What a comfortable home for our family vacation in the area. Karen was welcoming and we were so appreciative of the fresh baked goods. Everything was set for our stay with enough linens for everyone. We ran into Karen a couple of times during our stay and always was delightful and open to help with any suggestions. We found the town quaint and what we needed from a bookstore to places to eat. Nice quick walk to the water for sunsets. Easy drive into Boston as well as up to Rockport and Gloucester. We even found it smooth to attend the 250 of Lexington and Concord. We loved our days starting with coffee and quiet comfort and relaxing in the evening around the table with our family for some games. Highly recommend this home! Thankful for our hosts!

Great house and host. The hill to the house will test your calves...but the house was better than described.

Our first trip to the Boston area couldn’t have been better! This Airbnb was absolutely perfect for our family of four. The bedroom I stayed in had its own balcony with a beautiful ocean view—ideal for peaceful summer mornings or warm, relaxing nights. The open-concept living room and kitchen gave us plenty of space to unwind after a day of exploring. But what really sets this place apart are two unbeatable features: first, you won’t find easier access to public transportation—there’s a bus stop just a 30-second walk away that takes you right into Boston. Second, the hosts, Milan and Anna, were some of the kindest and most helpful we’ve ever met. Their local tips made our stay even better. Great amenities, smartTV, updated shower, dishwasher, laundry, grill available to use, etc. Right next to the house is a beautiful walkway that stretches down the beachfront of Winthrop. We’re already talking about coming back as the Boston area is second to none!

I needed a special place for a special weekend. I didn't want to propose in a loud, busy Boston location. I wanted private, quiet and intimate. Thats what the photos felt like and I'm happy to say that was the exact experience. April is a perfect time with sunny weather in the 50's. We had a pleasant conversation with Susan in the shared driveway on our way to dinner. She recommended Seaport Grill, specifically the Chilean Sea Bass. It did not disappoint. Plus the Hammond Castle. It was an unforgettable weekend. She said Yes!

This place was a great place to stay for our week visit in Boston. The apartment is very conveniently located to the subway, so getting around was very easy, and it was close to the airport as well. It was also very clean and fit the four of us very comfortably. The walls are thin so it’s a little loud with street noise in the front bedroom, but nothing some ear plugs didn’t fix. The TV didn’t really work, but as we were there to explore it didn’t really matter.

Loved our stay! Easy Check in process into the unit , thank you Ryan for your excellent service!

This was a perfect location for a long weekend getaway! Proximity to public transportation makes this place an awesome option for Boston travels, the ocean is absolutely gorgeous! I ran the Boston marathon on my visit and the hot tub was incredible for recovery! The bed is so comfortable and even though we didn’t cook anything, we easily could have! Having a washer and dryer in the unit available meant that I don’t have piles of laundry to do when I get home!

Perfect spot for a quick overnight in Boston! Lucio and Carolina were super responsive, would stay here again!

We loved our stay at this property. The house is much more historic and lived in, if you are after a pristine and modern stay, this might not be the place for you. But the house more than made up for it in character and cozy vibes, and it fit in perfectly in the charming historic neighborhood in Marblehead. The area has a lot of wonderful spots you can walk to, and the host provided historical information about the area and the house as well! We were so grateful for John’s proactive communication, we didn’t have any issues but I’m confident if we had he would have quickly resolved them! Overall my family had a wonderful weekend and we spent the drive home saying home much we’d love to make another trip in the summer to enjoy the ocean more!! Thanks John for a memorable weekend!

We had a lovely long weekend at Natasha's gorgeous home. Spotlessly clean, with modern upgrades and appliances. The layout is a bit unusual as the house has been renovated and split into at least 2 units. Located on main road into Swampscott, with a view of the ocean (across the road) out the front windows--very beautiful even in the middle of winter! We had snow 2 out of 3 nights, and on the first of these there was a gentleman outside shoveling the driveway and back steps around noon. But by our check out time (noon) on Monday, nobody had cleared the snow. Got our car out ok, and we cleared off the back steps so we could bring our luggage out. There was conflicting info between the listing and what we were told by the owner re check-in and check out times--we messaged owner (twice) to clarify check out time and never heard back from her, so called her on check out morning--she apologized and honored the original listing. Info in owner's instruction booklet at house needs updating.

My mom and her friend had a wonderful 2 1/2 weeks stay at Sharon’s place in Jan. The location was perfect as they could walk to the grocery store any time. When the weather was warm, we all enjoyed walking the beach (3 blocks away!). Our kids enjoyed playing with the toys in the closet. My mom enjoyed the full kitchen and cooked there often. Sharon was kind, communicative, and helpful!

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful cottage in a beautiful seaside town. House was very comfortable and clean. The whole town is walkable so you can easily get to restaurants, coffee, groceries etc. Having 2 joined suites worked wonderfully so that our teenagers could have their own space while still being connected to us. Our family had a wonderful time!

We had a great weekend in Boston with friends. The house was convenient to T and made it easy to get downtown. Plenty of sleeping space for our group of 7. Thank you for the coffee set up and the bottled water

This Airbnb was one of the best we ever had stayed in! Her house was beautiful, cozy and clean! Johanna was a great host and would definitely love to stay here again!!

We had a wonderful stay. Perfect place for families with children. So close to the beach with all the beach and home necessities you need while on vacation! Quaint town that was quiet but still has plenty of restaurants to visit. Overall, a great place!

Great hosts. always kept in communication of expectancy, welcoming and felt very down to earth. The place was very clean and peaceful for my family. we enjoyed our sleep and stay. Highly recommended!!

The spot was super clean and had everything you needed, the location of it was great, and Griffin was a responsive and helpful host.

We loved staying in this airbnb! It's perfect for a couples vacation. It is an old building so noise travels but this wasn't a deal breaker. The space was clean and the bed is sooo comfortable.

Yangs place was great, very cozy and in a a beautiful area.

What a find! I came to Kristen's because some plans fell through last minute. Having never heard of Marblehead but keen to visit somewhere by the sea and easily accessible from Boston, wow did I get a pleasant surprise. It is absolutely beautiful there, I had to pinch myself - it was like living in a film! The apartment was absolutely perfect. I'd been staying somewhere a bit grubby and disorganised beforehand and Kristen's place was absolutely sparkling clean, I felt incredibly welcome and cared for right away. Furthermore, checking in early with my monstrous suitcase was no problem at all and the apartment is generously stocked with coffee, tea, snacks, a bottle of wine, cold drinks, a folder of local recommendations, comfortable, quality furnishings and linens, great lighting and more. This is what true hosting is all about if you ask me - making your guests feel as comfortable and welcome as possible and Kristen most certainly does this in spades.

5 STAR+ rental. We loved this rental. It is exactly what we look for in rental space. Clean, updated (while retaining character), close to all sorts of activities and historical sites, washer/dryer, quiet, off street parking. Solid wood floors throughout, tile floor in bathrooms. Bathrooms (2 Full) had soap, shampoo and conditioner, towels TP. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Plenty of plates, cups, glasses, pots, baking sheets, pyrex. Solid surface counters. We ran the dishwasher once in the five days we were there. Kitchen table was comfortable for eating and playing games( look in the closet). Keurig for coffee, (pods provided). Snack basket had varieties of items we ate between meals. The living space was comfortable with couch and chair, with tables nearby. Bedrooms were comfortable. Beds were comfortable. there is a desk in the twin bedroom. Instruction book filled with recommendations and local information. Owner provided cell #. Would stay again 100%. 5 STAR

Edna thought of every little detail of what we would need to make our stay comfortable. Wished we could stay longer but definately will be back!

Fantastic. Close to the Wood Island station which made getting to the city very easy.

I stayed at this beautiful apartment for a couple weeks when I moved to Boston and I couldn’t have asked for a better place! It’s very luxurious for one person, would be great for a family or small group, is even bigger in person than in the photos, has everything you need and more. Super convenient location with a 3 min walk to the T, and of course the off street parking is very convenient. Great mattresses and plenty of open closet space. Glenn was easy to communicate with, very responsive and attentive to any requests. Highly recommend!
