Vacation rentals with breakfast in Essex County

Sharon was extremely friendly! She went out of her way to find breakfast pastries for my food allergies! Super sweet! Wonderful space, private room and bathroom. We felt very at home and loved the neighborhood. Lovely drive to nearby areas like Newburyport and Salem. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy home away from home.

Connie was uncommonly hospitable, friendly, and helpful. I was set to arrive before the usual check-in time, and she allowed me to arrive early. She helped me carry my heavy bag upstairs and downstairs. She has breakfast items (yogurt, granola, milk, cereal, coffee) available. The room was charming and clean, as was the bathroom. The A/C works very well. I really enjoyed my stay and just chatting with Connie. The location is really great -- walking distance to Harvard and Porter squares and pretty close to the Porter T. I highly recommend her place!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at thomas’s place, and I can't recommend it enough! The house is perfectly located, making it easy to commute to Cambridge. Thomas was truly kind and accommodating, ensuring that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The room was cozy, and I was impressed with how clean everything was — the bathroom and shared spaces were spotless, which made for a pleasant experience. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely return. Thank you for an amazing experience!

I absolutely adored staying with Patricia; this was my first time staying in an AirBnb within someone's home and I felt so comfortable and had everything I needed. She left out little breakfast items for me each morning as well, which was such a nice touch. I would absolutely stay here again!

Deborah’s home was a perfect fit for my New England trip! The bed was so comfortable, the room was clean, as was the bathroom. The home is as surrounded by flowers & trees and a view of the Annisquam River. Nearby Gloucester is as special as anything you read or see about it. The best part, which is saying a lot, was a morning time chat with Deborah. She is an amazing woman! History, travel, family & wonderful local recommendations ~ I could have had coffee with her the entire morning! I was very happy with her communication before & during my stay. (Virgilio’s was out of this world!) I hope to be back soon ~ A+ Hospitality

Your stay was perfect! So close and walkable to the beach. Our kids had a fabulous vacation and the outdoor shower was used daily! We loved having coffee on the back patio and dinners on the porch. The house is well appointed with everything you need and extra touches to make the beach days easier (beach chairs, umbrella, towels, cooler bags). The neighborhood is quiet and close to grocery stores and a few shops. We loved our stay and hope to come back!

Let me start with this: THESE HOSTS MAKE THEIR OWN MAPLE SYRUP. As if that weren’t enough, they were warm and welcoming, making me comfortable in their home from moment one. The space was cozy and exactly what I needed—and walking distance from beautiful wooded conservation land. And Deborah’s breakfast—and conversation—were truly a delicious, sweet, and savory way to start the day. I hope to be back!

Hospitable host. Made sure breakfast was available every day. The place is beautiful, well decorated. It made me want to stay longer. Donnell is great to talk to, respectful of your privacy, and available if you need anything. I had a great time.

Great place, clean, and shared spaces were also well maintained.

Simone was lovely and very responsive and helpful. It felt home.

Great place to stay, host was very responsive and helpful.

I can't say enough about this beautiful apartment. The hostess met us upon our arrival and showed us where everything was located. She left fresh fruit, eggs, butter, bread, drinks, and coffee available. The place was clean and quiet. The best thing is that it is close to the ocean and Boston, as well as Salem, but without the crowds. The apartment itself is adorable and perfect for a romantic getaway—an outstanding value with a very responsive host/hostess. I can't wait to return!

I stayed at Mary’s Medford Studio while visiting my daughter at Tufts, and it was an absolute gem. The surrounding garden felt like a peaceful oasis, full of birds, chipmunks, and the occasional bunny — a perfect touch of nature. The studio is nestled in a charming, quiet neighborhood with easy and convenient street parking. Mary is the definition of a thoughtful and gracious host. Her care for both the property and her guests is clear in every detail. This truly stands out as a top-tier Airbnb experience!

Great location! Very clean:) Nice amenities:) Close to the subway, (Malden Center - orange line) which we used often to go into Boston! Plenty of space and a bed for everyone for our family of five:) We would totally recommend this for all of our family & friends:)

Christian's place was exactly what we needed for the weekend while we spent the day in Salem. He responded quickly and was very helpful the whole weekend. I would definitely book again the next time I'm in Boston!

We really enjoyed the Airbnb. It was an authentic, spacious place to stay with attentive and responsible hosts. At the end of the lane was a great cove to put in our paddleboards. Close to town and hiking. Hope to return!

We had a great time here. The pantry and refrigerator were stocked so well we had everything we needed. The bus and train were close and easy to use. Thank you!

Lovely home, great location and friendly and helpful host. Felt more like a "hosted B&B or inn" rather than the more common experience I've had with Air B&B of the host being available but not a visible presence. If you are looking for a private, nonengaging experience, this might not be for you. However, if you enjoy meeting your host, we found Bob to be warm and cheery and he made us a lovely breakfast with excellent coffee. Rosy was away so we did not meet her, however, her decorating talents were much on display from the tableware to the linens and accoutrements, all of which made us feel like we were special guests.

Very comfortable and friendly! Christopher and the innkeeper Sadie were very responsive, friendly and accommodating!

We are very grateful for our stay at Peter's. The apartment was very cozy, we appreciated the easy communication with the hosts and would recommend the stay to anyone looking for a place from where to venture into the city (especially helpful were Peter's tips for Little Italy) and then return for a quiet place in a nice neighbourhood.

Marshall and Courtney have curated a hip, comfortable, and immaculate space that is a joy to spend time in. Addison Choate is nestled in an adorable walkable beach town that is an easy trip from Boston. We had a fantastic time, and will be sure to be back!

I had a truly wonderful stay at Flavia’s home! The space was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared, making it feel like a home away from home. Flavia was an incredibly kind and responsive host, always ready to help while also respecting privacy. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, with everything I needed close by. I couldn’t have asked for a better Airbnb experience — thank you, Flavia, for your warm hospitality!

A+. This place is why I come to Airbnb: unique, immersive, and full of character. I stayed in the Witches Dorm, and it felt like part of the adventure, not just a place to sleep. The decor was rich and authentic, and the common room was so cozy I spent hours writing and reading there. The 2 twin beds were comfy (even for a 6'1" guest.) Hope, the host, is fascinating and has some amazing stories, but also totally respects your space. She keeps the common area well-stocked with snacks, coffee, and drinks, which made mornings and late nights easy. Uber was always available and affordable (~$6–10), making it easy to get around if you don’t feel like walking the scenic 25–30 mins to downtown. The walk downtown can be super varied tho—walking along the coastline one day, thru a park the next, and a myriad of ways down tiny New England streets w cute houses all about the same travel time. My first time in Salem. Felt safe at all hours. Would absolutely stay at this property again. A+

The house was owned built by a prominent Gloucester family in 1810 facing the Atlantic Ocean.... Our room had windows facing the Prominade on the surf side and had that wonderful ocean breeze. It's a charming old house with updates over the 200 years... Steam heat... additional bathrooms... asphalt driveway with parking in back....comfortable king bed.
