Waterfront vacation rentals in Massachusetts

You could not select a better location than this, with access to the Cape, beaches, and the Canal road for biking and walking. The apartment is modern and immaculate with a nice deck on which to relax. To top it off you could not find more pleasant hosts than Diane and Barry. We will surely visit again!

What a lovely place to stay in Rockport. Great location that’s super walkable to the shops, cafes, galleries and beaches of Rockport; I took the train and did not need a car during my visit. The apartment is great, with a comfy bed, smart TV and a well-equipped kitchen for preparing meals when not dining out. And a great little patio overlooking the harbor. Gigi was a very helpful and responsive host. Thank you!

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!

One of the most comfortable places we’ve rented on Airbnb. And the proximity to historic Duck Creek can’t be beat…so much more impressive than photos can do justice.

We had a very comfortable relaxed stay! The space was clean and well equipped. The beds were soooo comfortable as was all the living room furniture! Craig was very responsive and accommodating to our schedule. We lived the location and made two visits to the close by Big Red slide and walked the beach! So close! I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return.

This place is a perfect Nahant beach get-away. We were there for a wedding over the weekend, and were so lucky to find Elyse's place! Elyse is a wonderful host, and she communicated everything in such a detailed manner that finding the place/checking in was a breeze. It poured rain all weekend, but the cozy, clean unit that is decorated beautifully and is so conveniently located to everything made us feel at home. The unit has everything you need - even a lovely deck overlooking Boston Harbor. Elyse was gracious enough to offer to turn on the hot tub for us while we were arriving, and she had great local recommendations. While we did not get to use the hot tub or go to the beach because of the rain, we hope to return and take full advantage of how special this place is again!

Thanks Crystal It was a great spot for the weekend and very comfortable!

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!

The place was great. The backyard was the perfect spot to cook burgers and hang out. The space can just be a little cold outside the summer months so prepare to dress warmer.

Great house for families, lots of room to spread out and enjoy. The location is terrific. The host and his family are nice and friendly. Communication with the host was excellent.

This is a great place! It may look small on the outside but I was surprised with how spacious it was inside! It was a bit tricky to find but with the instructions given we were able to quickly find it! Christine was quick with the reply’s and the rules are more than reasonable. The lake is beautiful both day and night! If you’re looking for a nature get away but don’t want a cabin deep in the woods this house would be just that!

153 Morning Star Cartway was a perfect peaceful getaway for my college friends and me. We had a great time and Luther was an excellent host, providing us with lots of recommendations for local activities and was very responsive.

House was very clean, and host was responsive to questions. Convenient to downtown Worcester

This property was stunning! As described. Brenda was extremely responsive to messages. My family appreciated the labeling she had done, it made everything very easy to find. Anything you could want this place has it, from super comfortable beds, tons of space, clean, and beautiful views! We will definitely be back!

I highly recommend this beautiful home for your next stay. It had a spectacular view and the house was very well maintained and furnished. This home was conveniently located and felt very private at the same time.

We stayed at this home with a group of five people and the home fit everyone great. The view from the home of the marsh is beautiful and we spent Saturday hanging out on the dock. It is really peaceful and we had an amazing time. Michele was a pleasure to work with and was very accommodating with being flexible for check in and check out times. Thank you again!

We had a wonderful time at Rob's place in Provincetown this February. If you are looking for a quiet place on the East End in the off season this is an exceptional spot. Beautiful water views from the condo. A gorgeous beach with some of the best views in Provincetown is right across the street. Condo was perfectly cleaned upon arrival and exactly as described. Couldn't ask for more.

An amazing beachfront getaway! The property was clean, well-maintained, and offered breathtaking views of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying sunsets from the patio was a dream. The host was responsive and made everything seamless. Perfect for a relaxing stay—can’t wait to come back!

Christina's property was a wonderful place to escape to for a few days! It is the perfect size for 1-2 people, has everything you need, and the view is unbeatable. The parking space is incredibly convenient and the location of the property provides easy access to the rest of Bearskin Neck and Rockport proper. I hope to stay here again in the future!

We absolutely loved our stay at Julia’s home! It was in amazing location close to the beautiful downtown but also very private. The private beach is hard to beat! The space was clean, exactly as pictured, and was stocked with anything you could need. Julia was an amazing host who provided clear instructions and responded quickly. We can’t wait to return for our next stay here. Thanks again Julia!!

Brian’s place was a lovely stay! Extremely clean, beautiful and comfortable. Many thoughtful touches throughout the home and a well stocked kitchen for any cooking. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Chris’s place was exactly as described and depicted. Immaculately clean and very comfortable. Great location…..just steps to all of our favorite spots! Chris was also very responsive…. we hope to return again sometime!

Great space, close walk to all the places we needed to go. Loved the open layout of the kitchen and living room areas, awesome to lounge around during our downtimes. Bathrooms fit our needs and beds were comfortable. Nice and thoughtful amenities such as the Dove body soap and toothpaste. TV cable was much appreciated as well as the electric piano! Thanks for a great stay, would book again.

We stayed Thursday night through Sunday 4-2-25 thru 4-6-25. Almost everything was in walking distance. We tried a new restaurant every night, eating mostly Italian. We weren't to far from Quincy Market, we had brunch almost every day and did shopping. It is right across the street from the wharf and we had a beautiful view from the living room. We went to go and see the Red Sox game for opening day. Couldn't have asked for better weather and a wonderful place to stay. Any questions we had were answered quickly and they game us great recommendations for restaurants. We will definitely be going back again, rating was 5 stars! Anne Duran
