Mansion in Gloucester with Pool
My family and I were fortunate enough to spend the thanksgiving holiday here. It was the perfect space for a group gathering. Would highly recommend!

Large Pool, Nature Trails, Redd's Pond, 4-Bed
Everything was as listed and very responsive and great host. The property was in a very nice and in a great town. We enjoyed our time there.

Rockport Pool House|4BR/3BA Walk to Bearskin Neck
Great space. Loved that it was dog friendly. My older lab appreciated the amount of space! Kids enjoyed themselves and the neighborhood was quiet and the few people we ran into were very friendly.

Boston 15 min away.
This is the third year we were able to rent Ediangela’s house. As always it’s beautiful and clean. The pool is spotless. Plenty of space for big groups and absolutely perfect for families with kids of all ages. There’s so much to do on the property itself. She is so kind and responsive. It’s always been amazing every time we stay. It’s becoming our summer staple to come and stay by the pool for a few days of vacation. 10/10 absolutely worth renting this space. This year we brought two 10 year olds, a 5 year old, and a 2 year old, with 4 adults. They had the best time in the little play houses and pool. The adults had a great time as well. If you’re looking for a low key - big fun spot where you don’t have to run around to entertain, this is perfect! Everything you need or may need is on site or minutes away if you need to shop. Including the actual beach. I sincerely hope we get the chance to make it year 4 next summer!

Beautiful Spacious 4BRM House!
Maxine anticipated every possible need and so much more available. She went beyond any host I have ever stayed with and I travel quite often. I highly recommend Maxine's place

modern Tudor in beautiful Salem nh
Great house. Walkable to dunks as well as canobie. Also next to dunks is a rail trail walk/run/bike path that seemed nice. We didn’t explore the whole thing but a nice plus for morning exercise. We enjoyed a bit of basketball in the yard too. Plus the house has TVs in every room so all can enjoy a show. Great spot, great house.

Quiet/Private Neighborhood
Our stay at Michelle's was absolutely fantastic! I can't say enough good things about the house and the amenities. The kitchen was fully stocked and she really seemed to think of everything, including a gift basket! I stay at a lot of Air B&Bs and the small touches Michelle put on the house and the amount she cared for her guests was second to none! I could not recommend staying here more.

Peaceful New England Retreat Close to It All
The home was so lovely and comfortable - perfect for our family. It had so many amenities, and comfortable sleeping spaces. It looks exactly like the pictures. We will definitely return!

Had a wonderful stay here, perfect location and was able to enjoy the sounds of the ocean the entire time. Would definitely recommend staying here and I’d look forward to being here again in the future. Thank you so much!

Cute Single Family Home just Steps to the Beach!
Lovely location across from the beautiful beach. Home is comfortable with multiple seating areas. Very clean, organized and user friendly home. Kitchen very well stocked with all you could need for cooking and enjoying your stay. Easy walk to pavilion with multiple food options. Enjoyed a lovely meal at Seaglass. Highly recommend Robyn’s home!

Beachmont: 3bed house near beach
Joe’s place was perfect for a quick getaway to New England with some friends. It is well furnished and the location was fantastic! We were able to easily walk to town or the beach.

“Salty Girl” Plum Island, MA
Another amazing stay at Salty Girl! Erin’s home is spotless and calm and inviting. There were so many small touches to make a family’s stay easy like a toy drawer, step stool in the bathroom, and stuffed animals for the kids in the bunk room! Truly so thoughtful. The location couldn’t be better with an easy walk to the bay and beach. Really peaceful surroundings. Thank you! We can’t wait to return!!!

Tewksbury, MA --5 night minimum stay--4 beds, 2.5 baths, quiet street, 5 min drive to shops
Lauren’s house was the perfect place to stay for Christmas. It had everything we could possibly need and the garage was so convenient. I appreciated the night lights throughout the house. I felt very much at home and would highly recommend staying at Lauren’s!

Large House, Ocean Views, 2 Kitchens/Dining Rooms
I booked this beautiful Swampscott home for my wife's 30th birthday and we couldn't have been more pleased. The house, views, and location were incredible. My wife, family, and friends couldn't stop raving about the Air BnB selection and we had the best time. The cherry on top was an amazing local restaurant at the bottom of the hill which we enjoyed almost every night. 10/10 would recommend to anyone interested in this rental. Ryan was a great host and made everything easy!

Mid-Century Modern in Historic Lexington
Great place for our coaches to meet up and sleep after a full day of coaching in Boston area. Very comfortable space. Highly recommend this home.

Gloucester Private Contemporary 4 bedrooms
Jack’s house was a total blessing to my family and me. We had to make last minute arrangements to attend a funeral. The house was perfect for my wife and me and our three grown children. We would love to come back when we have more time to visit the area.

New Single Family with 5B3B
Visiting Boston for a wedding and the location and home was perfect for our needs! Highly recommend this home!

Clean-Cozy-Comfy. Steps to the Ocean!
Robert was an amazing host! Was able to connect with him prior to getting to his place and go over things and he was very responsive and accommodating! Great stay and will be trying to return another time!

Ski-side New England Bunkhouse Retreat
Had everything you needed to sleep, cook and stay while visiting family.

Entire house hosted by Bryan
Bryan was a fantastic host and his home was great and fit all our needs. The pictures posted are accurate (although I’d say the place looks better in person). For the price, you can’t beat the location and all the room!! I was able to bring my pups which was an added bonus. I would highly recommend this home if you have any Boston/Salem trips coming up. It was about 10-20 min into Boston (depending on where you are going) and 30 min to Salem. Both easy drives. House is older and has some normal wear/tear but it was very clean and had a ton of great amenities included! The game room was awesome. We will be back in the future.

Beach Life Bliss - steps to the beach
Beautiful little spot with walking distance to the beach and close proximity to some great restaurants and attractions. Christine was very responsive and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend if you are visiting the Gloucester area

2 Apts/6BR,Pet-Friendly-Lg Yard - Weekly Discount
Michael was a great host, and his house was a great fit for our large family!

Charming Home in Reading with a Large Yard
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was wonderful and the hosts were extremely easy to work with

Brand new home minutes to the ocean
Heather was a great host who was quick to respond with any questions. The house was spacious and clean. Near plenty of good places to eat but secluded enough for peaceful evenings. Would stay again if vacationing in or around Gloucester.
