Waterfront apartment rentals

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.

Winter Island Retreat
Our stay at Dave's place on Winter Island was spectacular! The photos do not do justice for the views. The yard is beautiful and well-kept, and my favorite part was sitting on the porch with my coffee each morning. Inside is cozy, but perfect for two guests. Dave has all you'll need in the kitchen and bathroom, which was a bonus! We traveled from New Mexcio, and it was a long ways, but I would absolutely stay at Dave's place again if we come back to the area. You won't find a better accommodation, and at this price, just amazing. So grateful I was able to bring my daughter for such an incredible stay in Salem.

Amazing Ocean View In-Law Apt.
Beautiful views and very spacious, everything was perfect. Susan was a great host. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

Ocean view studio with hot tub & access to Boston
You cannot beat the view! Was a great stay, appreciated how well the host communicated and always appreciate a dog-friendly spot. Loved walking around Nahant.

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 :)

Cape Arundel Cottage 1 mile to downtown KPT
Adorable, idyllic, comfortable, serene. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our Maine Minimoon! Some places have 5 stars and aren’t really legit — this is not one such place. Hillary’s place fully deserves ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. We look forward to staying again soon!!

Lakeside apartment, patio, hot tub, outside shower
Everything was absolutely exceptional! My parents stayed here for two weeks and had a wonderful experience. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive — they replied to our messages and requests immediately, which made everything so easy and stress-free. My parents left extremely happy and are already talking about coming back. Highly recommended!

Comfortable house, close to beach and downton IPSW
We had a great stay! The space was nice, clean, and very quiet. Parking was convenient, and the location was fantastic— since it was just a short drive the Crane Estate (where we attended a wedding). Communication with the host was great—we received quick and helpful responses. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-kept place in a great area!
Waterfront house rentals

Waterfront Gem walkable to Restaurants!
We had such a great stay here! The house is in a beautiful location on a super cute lake and we were able to sit outside and go on the paddle boat. Amy was super responsive and helpful. The house was very comfortable and clean! 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!

Quaint Little New Hampshire Lake House Getaway!
We really enjiyed our stay and would recommend to anybody else.

Luxury on Rye Harbor w/ 360 Degree Views
The view is even better than the photo’s show! The place is peaceful and relaxing. Being able to have a short walk to the lobster pound was a bonus and it was delicious. Very nice grocery store near by that has prepared meals and amazing meats and seafood. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Scott had great recommendations and was always fast to respond. I would stay here again for sure!

York on the Rocks
Fantastic place with amazing views. Super comfortable beds ! A beautiful peaceful getaway with a lot of great restaurants and beaches close by. Roberta was awesome and very quick to respond. No issues with any part of the stay ! Highly recommend !!

Waterfront w Kayaks, Pool table, Pergola, Firepit
Great house with beautiful lake view and comfortable set up. Everything was clean and in good shape. Steve was responsive with communication and provided all the info we needed. I would recommend staying here.

Blue Breeze - Private lakefront w/ Hot Tub
This beautiful lake front home was a great space for our group (8 adults, 1 infant, dog)! Plenty of space for everyone to gather, inside or outside. Lake amenities were such a plus! Carl and other co-hosts were so responsive leading up to our stay and during!

Luxury Lakefront Paradise w/ Private Beach
My family and I had a serene experience staying here. Although the weather was mostly rainy or cloudy, we loved the lake location and maximized the indoor, outdoor, and nearby activity options. The hosts were so responsive, regardless of the question, and made this a truly delightful visit. This was my parents’ first Airbnb experience and it set the bar higher than I could have imagined! My family and I are already talking about coming back!!
Waterfront condo rentals

Luxury Beach Front Condo! Prime Location!
This was a perfect location for enjoying being in the heart of Old Orchard Beach. You get live music down stairs, a few steps away from the beach, quick walk to downtown/pier. Totally worth it! The condo is beautiful and comfortable.

Oceanfront Condo with Awesome Views
I would recommend it 100%

On the Lake! King Studio Private Porch Lakeview
It was a wonderful stay very peaceful and relaxing loved every minute of the stay would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!!

Beachfront | Panoramic Views | "Oceanfront Oasis"
Had a wonderful stay. Great location right on the beach. Condo was very nice and well equipped.. Sean was a great host. Would definitely stay there again.

Bearskin Neck Rockport ★ Amazing Views ★ Parking
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!

Beachfront Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at Monik’s condo. She was a very responsive host. The place was just as it looked in the pictures and was very clean. We loved being able to walk across the street to go the beach and we rode our bikes all over town. I would highly recommend staying here if traveling to Hampton.

Summer bliss in our oceanfront 2BR condo awaits!
Excellent condo, clean and felt like we were at home. I would stay here again in a minute. Highly recommended. Thank you Jose.

Oceanfront, private balcony, panoramic view Ocean
Location was absolutely perfect! Directly across the street from the beach and walkable distance to Hampton Beach main strip. The studio set up was perfect for us and our 16 month old, however, I can imagine it being a bit small for a larger family. Definitely will be visiting this area again in the future! Wendy & Mark were great hosts - everything was clean and exactly as expected. Highly recommend.
