Vacation rentals in Essex County

Fantastic stay. So much space inside, and absolutely gorgeous sunset views. Super clean and comfortable. I definitely recommend!

Frank went above and beyond to communicate check-in instructions, rules of the Air BnB, had all the thoughtful amenities for a slumbo! Definitely an ideal location for nicer weather with the location! Unfortunately the weather hindered the ability to fully enjoy this experience with the water so close! Would book again with better weather!!!

Great House with a big backyard and deck. The home is in a great location with views of the ocean. Sandy’s place was perfect for my group and I . Easy parking for 3 sedans. Piano was a nice touch and was perfectly in tune for such a humid summer.

Traveled to Swampscott, from DC, with my kids, for a visit with family. Decided to try the AirBnB route, as opposed to one of the hotels we normally would stay at in Salem. So much more space, for only a little more money. Much better location near the ocean, kept very clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would return next time we visit!

We were so lucky to get to stay at Lisa's when we were relocating to the area for my spouse's job. Even in January and February, the location was exceptional. Easily walk to the beach, boardwalk, arcade, and beach pizza! So close to Newburyport and Plum Island and we took weekend trips to Vermont and Maine. Comfortable beds, warm water, and room to spread out as a family with plenty of beds. Communication was easy and considerate, and Lisa was so helpful with local recommendations. Easy check-in and great kitchen!! Thank you so much Lisa!!

Great place to stay! It felt like home. Our boys enjoyed the book selection & board games. Everything is in walking distance & truly grateful our dog was able to join us. We were in town for a soccer tournament so we weren’t able to see everything that was around but enjoyed the recommendations. We had dinner at the barn & picked up coffee and chocolates the next morning at Godiva and explored the river walk.

Great house. Great location, house served me and 5 others spectacularly. Highly recommended

We had a delightful stay at Matt's and Jenn's. Their cottage is warm and cozy (loved the oversized fireplace), with spectacular views. And while there are many homes nearby, it has a real sense of privacy. The kitchen has almost everything you need (although some good wine glasses would be nice) and the appliances are high quality. We found the beds, with their medium-firm mattresses, very comfortable and we slept well. The wi-fi was excellent and the TV and thermostat didn't require a PhD to operate. Very simple and intuitive, unlike so many properties. Plus Matt and Jenn were very responsive to our queries (and they didn't have onerous check-out requirements, again like so many other Airbnb properties). We would definitely return, particularly in the off-season, but then spring and autumn are our favorite times of year. Highly recommend.

Our stay in Gloucester was beyond amazing! A trip we have put off since Covid began but back in June we decided to make it happen! Sarah’s condo was beyond our expectations. Beautifully set up,homey, comfortable and right in the middle of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen. We are from Annapolis, Maryland and I grew up on our bay crabbing … Gloucester reminds me of home. Everyone we met were so friendly, helpful and made sure we were comfortable. I’m a runner of 40 miles a week so my morning runs were filled with so much beauty from colorful leaves, to a sunrise I’ve never seen! Sailing is my thing so being surrounded by water, boats and of course the smell of fish … we knew our trip was extra special! We stayed specifically on Halloween for Salem fun and Salem did not disappoint! Helpful… a bar directly across the street from her air bnb! We hiked to the lighthouse early morning for exercise and its view did not disappoint either! Five star visit!
