John Edwards House
This wasn't our first time staying at the John Edwards house, and it won't be the last. The location is perfect. We could walk to everywhere we wanted to go. The house was clean, well stocked, and had been updated since last time we stayed. We cooked multiple meals in the house, and found that the kitchen had pretty much everything we could have wanted. The fridge was big and clean, which was helpful since we brought a ton of food. The owners were quite helpful and even came over to bring some extra supplies. I would highly recommend anyone to rent this house if you have a decent sized crew, and would like the charm of an old New England house.

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

Luxury large house minutes to Cambridge and Boston
This house worked really well for our family. the rooms are well-proportioned, the beds were comfy and the house was clean. there were a few bakeries and eateries within walking distance and a star market a 7 min drive away. There's a public park with a runni g track 2 min walking distance away. Overall great house!

Pretzel Factory Loft w/Peloton
We (family with 3 young kids) stayed at Mike and Anna’s for close to 2 months while our house completed renovations and had an outstanding stay. House is fully equipped and comfortable for a family, Mike is very responsive and helpful, regular cleaning is already arranged, lots of toys and books to keep the kids busy, and location is great. You do hear some train noise (as the description explains) but it didn’t bother us or our kids.

Anchor House Marblehead Retreat
The house was clean upon arriving. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need for cooking. Beds were comfortable. It was a lovely home!

Best House Cambridge/Somerville
Beautiful home in a lovely and walkable location in Sommerville. Susan was a very welcoming host! Thanks for the great stay!

Thanks!

Hillside Ocean View 2BR with Private Beach Access
Mark’s place was retro and quaint. It brought back special childhood memories of the house I was raised in back East. We loved our time here. This home is cozy and welcoming and has everything you could need to enjoy your stay. Mark provided homemade banana bread and coffee. That was very much appreciated since we didn’t arrive until 11 pm and there were no stores open. The views were very cool and a great place for birdwatching. It’s a short walk to two different beaches and a friendly neighborhood to walk through. Ipswich is a wonderful town with lots of things to see and do. We would definitely like to book this place again. Thanks Mark.

Every room a water view updated kitchen & bath
Excellent experience. Easy check in and the place was perfect, she even had some snacks waiting for us upon arrival. Easy walk to the ferry into Boston, and easy parking. It was winter, but there were plenty of outdoor activities so we'd love to come back during the summer. Older house but so charming and great location. Overall great communication before, during, and after; she even offered to ship a shoe my niece left behind to us. Would love to come back and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a great place in Hull.

The Curie-Perfect for Monthly Stays
This apartment is a great find! The location is perfect, not far from Boston, near every colleges for those who come visiting! This apartment building is indeed very new, built in 2021; but also blended in with history, the leasing office/lobby was converted from an old day chapel, pristine, elegant. Very unique Airbnb experience indeed. The small town is full of vibe with various kinds of cuisines, very good for families, young or old. Melissa, the host is super, giving us very detailed information and instructions from parking to checking in, every tiny details she thoughtfully considered. We couldn’t be happier to stay in this apartment. Highly recommended!

Stagehill Beach House
Loved this rental! Katie was so nice and very accommodating! This house was great! Pictures didn’t do it justice! Plenty of room and amazing views. My favorite room was the sitting room upstairs with views from every window! Lots of clean linens and super comfy beds! Check in and check out were a breeze. Easy to follow instructions on how to close up. Only complaint was on me! Wish we booked “in season” to take advantage of the beach! We will definitely be back! Thank you again, Katie! Your place and you, were top notch!

True North Cottage*Ocean side of Boat Basin!*
Located just a short walk to the beach this charming cottage offered the perfect blend of comfort and convenience for my whole family. The spacious cottage was clean and very well designed with everything we needed for a relaxing stay, including a fully equipped kitchen and cozy living area with modern amenities. The hosts, Elia and Rob, were incredibly welcoming and accommodating and we hope to visit again soon. I would highly recommend True North Cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway near the beach and scenic, downtown Newburyport.

Steps Away Ocean Home
Joe was a great host. Very responsive. We were in for a family reunion in Newbury Port, which was a short drive away. Salisbury did not have much to offer, and old rundown beach town, but Joe's place is not too far from some great places to drive to.
